Very British style corner pub with a turnstile door and fully dressed for Christmas. Beautiful furnished wood, comfy seating and all the hits playing, this hits the right spot. One cask and keg beer, the beer selection was a bit too macro keg Fullers, Saltaire, Leffe, König Ludwig etc. Shame, great setting, look and feel but the beer was just not very exciting.

Easy to reach by the metro. Refurbished protestant church, seated on top floor and brewing happening in the middle, all equipment clearly visible. Really dug the look and feel. Friendly service, loads of taps including a pilsner brewed on location which was amazing, enjoyed pretty much all that I tried. They also make a Coca-Cola on site which was nice. Visited early in the day, right after opening, most tables were booked for the evening. They had a lunch menu going of burgers, decent discount for lunch, most options (burgers and loaded fries were veganizable), the food was quite tasty. Cool t-shirts and merch available. Greatly enjoyed my visit, top location, just lots of fun.

Multiple rooms, dark wood, red chairs, pool, pinball machines and country music playing. Quick and friendly service in English, I was seated in the dining area. Macro beers on tap, Stallhagen full range it seems bottled plus Brewdog, To Øl and Omnipollo core range, not too shabby for the area. Prices are in line with location. I tried a vegan burger which was nice with the saltiest fries that I have ever had. Decent place for a beer and some food when in town.

I haven’t been to the other Alko locations, I think so I cannot really compare. It’s inside a bit of a tacky shopping mall, it’s not big. The bar next to it was playing Guns ‘n Roses and seagull sounds somewhere? The selection is bigger than I expected on the Island, some beers from the Stallhagen and good number of beers from the Nordics, UK and Ukraine including stouts etc. The service was quite helpful, they offered advice and told me when new shipments would be arriving. Decent selection of hard liquor too, the place to pick up some drinks.

Side street next to loads of other places, the hat logo clearly visible. The place is small, comfy and has a lot of cool touches, their t-shirt is amazing, the carpet, the symbols on the door. Pizza part of the place is big and prominent next to the bar. Dozens of taps, I tried the pilsner (disappointing), house IPA (okay) and a quite nice collaboration. Omnipollo has never been my favorite brewery, I quite enjoyed my visit here non the less, more than Stigbergets who make way better beter. Service was nice, the place itself was quite cozy and relaxing. They have more pizzas than taps available and plenty of snacks. Two of the pizzas can be veganized, quite tasty and also got the their pickles (lovely as well). Great stuff, the pizza is a big bonus and improves the place lots.

Right in the middle of tourist central, crowded, big turnover and popular. We easily got a table, but it wasn’t very comfortable. Two rooms, one more for eating and next to it is the Tritonia bar, where we sat in the dining area. You can get beers from the bar in the dining area. Service was quick enough given the big turnover of tourists. One wall has a menu projected on it, Untappd verified. Dozen taps, Belgians, Macro affairs like Goose IPA, Spaten and the more established craft names, Brewski, Dugges etc. More their core range than anything else, okay list but not very exciting. We got a vegan burger, which was quite old school veggie patty, most vegan in town was more old school, well made and tasty. Cauliflower wings which were not crispy but nice all the same, a bit too crowded as well. A bit too accessible, pleasing and touristic but definitely not bad. There is better in town.

Visited on a Friday evening, so people were quite loud and drunk, mostly locals it seemed. The whole place is divided into three semi-separated rooms. There are some pillars in the building and a mix of old and new. It all looks a bit more interesting than comfortable. Service was slightly lackluster. Dozen taps of which were about half theirs, focusing on classical styles. We tried the Vienna and Pilsner, technically nothing wrong with them but also not very exciting. It’s an interesting place and the focus on the more old school styles, bit more restraint is nice. These are not the easiest beers, I wasn’t too blown away with the quality or the vibe but worth a visit for something different for sure.

Close to the station, cool interior mixing modern and classical almost mansion look. 12 taps, no prices listed but all turned out to be 5 euro, quite reasonable given style / size of pours. One De Ranke and lots of beers from them, interesting barley wines, stout, Berliner wise etc. None of them were true to style but nice and unique beers, definitely something new and different. Selection of cans and bottles, theirs and interesting bit more experimental foreign craft. Quite a cool place, friendly owner and interesting beer, I should revisit.
