In bitter March weather we found this warm and welcoming semi-basement restaurant by chance. The food was good, hot, freshly prepared, ample portions, and just what we needed. So much so we returned the next evening, when there was a pianist who was joined by a fine tenor. They were well received, and we again had a great meal, best... More

I've never eaten here, but my wife and I do go there from time to time on Friday and Saturday nights to dance to the Jukebox which is filled with classic rock, Creedence Clearwater being my favorite. Unfortunately, it closes at midnight. After that we move down to Parnass a few doors down the street to dance.

It's always nice to be back at Skindbuksen and we probably will be back every time we go to KBH. Smily and service minded staff.

If I should recommend a Danish style "pub" it would be this! It has an old world atmosphere with smoky (but smoking is of course now not permitted) brown panelled walls with lots of memorabilia, paintings and wall-hangings, some said to be settling bar bills by pennyless painters. It even has paintings on the ceiling! There is a well used... More

We first visited it just for beer and somehow we liked it, so after a boat cruise we were back for late lunch and another round of beer (as we wanted to try Tuborg classic now). The owner had no smile on his face and showed no sentiment first, saying that Classic was not available. Do not be fooled -... More

My stay in Copenhagen laster 4 days during which I ate a this place three times.

One night there was a piano player and another one we had a singer playing the guitar. Herrings are simply superbe! They melt in... More

Copenhagen is the epicentre of great food in Europe - so many fantastic places to eat with incredible tastes - this place is just plain poor. The service was bad - left standing at the door, whilst lots of waiters just walked passed without attempting to help. Once we were sat down, we were asked to change tables again (from... More

This Basement restaurant was a cheap place to eat for the carriages drivers in the 18 hundreds, awayting the masters to be driven again. Today you step down in a cosy room full of portraits of artists painters and politicians of an era of good old Danish entertainers. The food is very good and traditional and the service is straightforward... More

This restaurant has a good atmosphere, and serves traditional hot food: pies, stews, etc. I had the calf-liver and it was excellent. My (adult) son also enjoyed his meal. I'd also like to add that I left my wallet by mistake and was only able to get back after a couple of hours. They'd found it, kept it on one... More
