Everything was perfect: the good craft beer, the cider, the very friendly service, the atmosphere in a lively part of town! Well done!

Excellent beer selection, Mikkeller is always a guarantee. The place is perfect for grabbing a couple of beers and enjoying the lovely location. You can choose to sit inside or outside - honestly all options are great. Super friendly staff. This stop is a must.

Mikkeller & Friends – Copenhagen’s beer mecca with a bitter aftertaste
For many years, Mikkeller & Friends has been one of the places every beer enthusiast should visit. On a summer day, the outdoor seating overlooking Nørrebroparken is one of the coziest you’ll find in Copenhagen. You’ll quickly get “glued to your chair”.
Atmosphere & interior
The beer bar is located like a classic cellar pub on the corner of Stefansgade.
When you go down the stairs, you’re met by two bars with almost 30 beer taps. Since opening, the interior has become a bit more colorful with the blue wooden pillars, but there’s still no doubt that you’re in a Nordic beer bar.
The atmosphere is relaxed, and the place is buzzing with people who have come for the beer.
The beers
One of the best things about Mikkeller & Friends is the selection.
Fortunately, like in Mikkeler Baghaven, it’s not “50 Shades of IPA”. There is a wide selection of beers, so both hop lovers and those of us who also enjoy a good bock, porter or lager can find something exciting.
The first beers we were served were exactly as they should be – fresh and well-presented.
Unfortunately, the experience changed with a Schönramer Saphir Bock.
The smell alone made me suspicious. It seemed old and had a distinctly sour aroma. My wife also smelled it and immediately said:
"It's sour."
The service
A bad beer can happen – even in the best beer bars.
The crucial thing is how you handle it.
When I pointed out the problem, the bartender tasted the beer and insisted that it should taste like that.
That was honestly the biggest disappointment.
I had expected that at the very least they would investigate the matter or offer a new beer without discussion.
Finally I ordered a new beer, but I got it for free when I wanted to pay, which of course drags the experience down a bit.
Overall experience
Mikkeller & Friends is still one of Copenhagen's most exciting beer bars with an impressive selection and a fantastic atmosphere.
But when a beer seems wrong, I also expect handling that matches the reputation of the place.
Conclusion
I went in with an experience that was on the way to five stars.
Unfortunately, one bad beer and the subsequent handling cost a significant dip in the overall experience.
I will definitely come again - but next time I hope that the service lives up to the high level that the beer bar is otherwise known for.

Great place! Went after the marathon and it was a great environment with lots of other runners. Beer is great as well. A nice chill spot where you can sit and talk, plus enjoy good drinks for a very reasonable price

If you’re in Nørrebro and even remotely into good beer, Mikkeller & Friends is hard to beat. Easily one of the best bars in the city.
The space strikes that perfect balance: plenty of seating both inside and out, whether you want a cozy corner or to sit streetside and soak in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, with just the right amount of buzz.
And the beer? Exceptional. A constantly rotating selection that showcases everything from crisp, refreshing pours to more complex, experimental brews. There’s always something new to try, and everything is done well.
Copenhagen does a lot right - and this place is high on that list. Five stars, no question.
