Best Sports Bars in Copenhagen

A solid, no-nonsense sports bar on Kompagnistræde that draws a mixed crowd of expats and locals for Premier League and NFL. Ten screens cover the walls, the bar pours Guinness correctly and cold, and the kitchen is open until 11 pm. It is a reliable choice on any given Saturday morning for English football.

Old-school Nørrebro pub with a loyal local crowd that has been gathering here for major sporting events since the 1990s. The interior is all dark wood and vintage Danish football memorabilia. Six screens are well-positioned across the main room. The house beer is cheap and cold. This is the place for Danish Superliga fixtures, especially Brøndby vs FCK derbies.

A central Indre By option that handles large crowds without feeling chaotic. Kaptajnens has 12 screens, an outdoor terrace that fills up for summer tournaments, and a food menu that goes beyond bar snacks. We recommend it for American sports fans in particular, as it is one of few bars in Copenhagen that reliably shows NBA and NHL alongside European football.

Exactly what the name promises: a purpose-built football bar with deep coverage across all European leagues and both major global cups. The Football Factory runs 14 screens from a wide Vesterbro space and offers a pre-match meal deal that is good value by Copenhagen standards. The staff know the sport and the bar schedule is posted on the window three weeks ahead.

Central, accessible, and always busy on match day, The Dane and Lion is a dependable choice for visitors staying in the city centre. The English pub format suits Strøget tourists as much as local regulars, and the kitchen stays open late on European nights. The downstairs section has the best screens and the most intense atmosphere when the room is full.

The Brøndby IF supporter pub for Copenhagen's western side, this Frederiksberg spot is the place to watch the yellow-and-blue when they are away from home. Regular supporters know each other by name, and the atmosphere builds from about an hour before kick-off. Away from Brøndby fixtures, the pub runs an above-average quiz on Thursday evenings.

Amager Pub on Amagerbrogade is a neighborhood sports pub inside Hotel Amager, showing major matches with a daily happy hour from 16:00 to 18:00. Prices stay low and the welcome is easy. Open daily.

Barkowski on Nørre Farimagsgade is a warren of small rooms with free pool, table football and darts, plus big screens for the Champions League. The beer list runs long and the regulars treat it like a local. Open daily.

Café Guldhornene on Vestergade is a cozy late-night bar that calls itself the city's official Chelsea pub, showing every match whatever the hour. Local beers fill the taps and old photographs line the walls. Open late.

Charlie Scott's on Skindergade pairs live jazz several nights a week with sport on the screens in the city center. Tuesday brings free jazz under the stairs and weekends bring live bands. Open daily.

Club 34 on Istedgade reopened after a long refit as a beer and sports bar, pouring more than fifteen taps from Anarkist Brewery across two rustic rooms. Two big screens carry football and tennis. Open daily.

StPauli Minibar on Halmtorvet is a shrine to Hamburg's FC St. Pauli, opened in 2010 in the old Bodega 54 space. It gathers club supporters for matches and stays open late on weekends.

The Moose on Svaertegade has poured affordable beer since 1996, a wood-lined room with graffiti, a football table and screens for the match. It opens daily from 3 pm and runs into the early morning.

The Old English Pub opposite Tivoli was built in 1992 around a nineteenth-century bar counter, showing Premier League football on Sky and pouring a long list of malt whiskies. Live music fills the nights without a match.
