Charlie's Bar

Good beers, very small place, but don't even have napkins. Nice to chat with friends.

Great dive bar in central Copenhagen! Pub atmosphere us bolstered by the dark woody interior, tons of historic bar photos, aging cask-sign out front, and the imported British bartender!

Don't expect fancy drink-specials; it is a dive bar! But basics from Macallan 12 to small-batch local beers, no prob! Order at the bar and seat yourself, just like all dive-bars. Love it!

Super friendly. Great beers. Lots of interesting choices on tap. Always engaging political discussions on Great Britain.

One of the coolest pubs I've ever had a pint. They actually have hand pumped non-carbonated draft ale from the cellar. Black Eagle Brewery, Westerham, England - 200 years of brewing excellence. Cheers!!!

And friendly service. Wishing my neighborhood had a pub like this.

Good local pub with a nice selection of tap beers. Small space, no music so you can have a conversation without shouting while you enjoy your beer.

Another British style pub. Bartender not all that attentive but not leaning toward the bar side. the ambiance was nice.

Copenhagen's only real ale pub. This is not a place to come for a taste of Copenhagen. On my visit I was pleased to find a couple of Cornish beers for example. The cask marque chaps have even been over to sample it and have given it their seal of approval.


This is a small and narrow bar, so I would advise arriving early in the evening if you want a table. The small bar can make for a good atmosphere though. They have 6 ale pumps.but only 3were on when I visited towards the end of the night. Normally this is the kind of thing that might be worth a docked star, but that seems unfair when nowhere else in the town even serves this kind of beer. The fact that the ales were Cornish shows just how far away they get their beer from!

When someone said that he wanted to visit a British pub in Copenhagen, my thought immediately went to Charlie's Bar on Pilestræde, especially when it's late at night and we all had too much drink. Not saying anything but I have heard that Charlie's Bar is notoriously small place, so even if it was crowded, I guess we weren't going to be THAT disappointed knowing that we probably had had enough beer anyway.

Surprisingly the place was quite empty on a midnight - perhaps the fact that it was a Thursday night instead of a weekend night plays a little role - but we didn't have problem ordering and got a seat. Now this is much of an ale place and ale is something that I drink, but not a huge fan of (my love goes to the darkest selection of all beers, gimme good quality porter or stout and I'll die happily), so I ordered something from the friendly bartender that I found it drinkable.

Ambience-wise, this probably is a nice place to hang out, down a couple of beer with good friends and walk home in not so quite straight line - if you know what I mean. It's a cozy place (almost feel wrong to say hyggelig for a British pub) and I would probably go back. Not for the beer, though, but for the ambience.

Lovely British pub in the middle of Copenhagen! They are Cask Marque certified so you know every pint will be good! Easy to find, fairly priced. Friendly service. Definitely recommended.

Great little hole in the wall, partially underground, bar in central Copenhagen. Excellent selection of beers.
