Located in the massive mall around the central station. Nothing about the beer selection struck me as that noteworthy. A few beers not seen elsewhere but I doubt that they’re essential in any way.

Almost next door to Pinball museum, lots of fun! Room with the bar, one fridge, second small room and a covered terrace. Pretty much dead and bartender looked understandably a bit done with it. 15 taps of almost exclusively their own beer, flights available and cocktails. I have had some specials from them in the past which were quite good, beers available covered lots of styles, decent but not hugely impressive. Still cool to hit for some beers from a different brewery.

Jewish museum next door with a mural visible, it’s got a bit of an industrial feel, bar furniture and chairs in two separate rooms. Pizza looked good, we didn’t eat. More staff than people present, fridge with bit more common beers. 25 taps with most being Polish, selection is comparable to elsewhere in town but they get beers brewed for them from time to time. Quite a solid spot. Next to other places, no reason not to hit.

Pretty much maximally spot on place. Two rooms, one with fridges, register etc. and a second room with some comfy chairs and tables. Maximally packed, dad rock playing. 6 interesting taps, samples from bottles available including Bottle logic, crazy deep lambiek menu, foreign selection going as hard as 3 Sons, asked a recommendation and got one of the best beers of the trip. Rare Polish beers. Understandable prices for the selection, huge variety of styles covered, Untappd verified, top spot in town in a league of its own.

The bar area is also a hotel area, person in line before me was checking in. They also do breakfast there, it’s also a burger place and a cocktail bar. This place has got everything covered, wall paintings made me think of the artwork of Hop Hooligans, all British people inside. Ten taps including a mediocre beer at a promo price, Czech and Polish beers on tap with about half interesting. Not the most exciting place or selection but it suffices. Doctor Brew is apparently the associated brewer but they had no beers on tap by them.

The busiest place which we saw while in town, this place had all the people plus the square around it. Covered terrace where loads of people vaped and was still chilly. More terrace space than inside but still rather big, almost all places taken. Food seemed popular. Twenty taps and quite a good selection, upon visit a bit too crowded and chilly for me. A good place all the same that seems to be preferred by locals. Efficient service luckily.

Two story bar, below had some party tourists or something but no bother. Bar tender was quite well with dealing with them but it must be nothing new. Happy hour, coctails and lots of strong liquor, asked a vodka recommendation and had the best one I tried during my stay. Lived in bar with the most interesting draft menu which we saw in town. Limited bottled / canned selection but bigger than most. Easily one of the best selections in town, comfortable sitting a good place to try some hard liquor.

Gorgeous interior, bit Bavarian but way more decorations and things happening, slick wood and Christmas decoration still present. Multiroom, mugs behind glass and a basement bar which we didn’t check. They multiple house beers of high quality, great selection and our favorite beer of the trip (Grodzinski from a brewery specializing in them) and some quite interesting bottles. Great interior, very comfy, great selection, tried the vegan burger, tasty beyond meat burger. Lots of The Cure playing, very central location but not feel. One of our favorite stops in town.

Central, upstairs, multiroom and quite barebones, we sat by the windows and watched the people pass us by. The music was the worst I have ever heard in any bar, continuously AI country slop. We’re not exaggerating, we Shazamed it and it was all AI. Regardless of my utter dislike of the music doing this while trying to sell “craft” seems like a cynical joke at best. AI garbage from Spotify I am guessing is the most antithesis craft thing imaginable. 25 taps with some Czech lager, mainly Polish from the elsewhere present Polish craft breweries, not too many surprises plus Lindemans and Amager. Solid but wouldn’t call it best selection in town, the music was just not for me at all, they deserve to be rated worse for it.

And now for something entirely different. A brewpub specializing in cask beer. 8 beers available of which 6 on cask, flights possible and peanuts with every beer. Bit of a sterile mutlti-room pub look and feel with tv’s. English music, beyond novelty the beer was quite solid. The place itself could be a bit more lively or exciting but dug the beer. Pleasant surprise.
