Magrath’s Bar

This bar more than any other in Copenhagen makes me feel like I might be in North America. That’s neither good nor bad, just how I feel about this faux Irish sports bar with booth seating, American sports quotes (actually those just confuse me), and pool table. The beer selection is alright. You can get a selection ranging from wheat beer, to lagers, to stouts, etc. Prices are about average for Copenhagen, higher than your typical bodega, but lower than a microbrew place.
The bar is three stars for me. Actually, the only reason I come here semi-​regularly is because this is one of the places where you can play pool AND it’s non-​smoking. There are others in the city, but this is the only one I know in Østerbro. There’s only one table, but it seems to be generally available (unless a game is playing, in which case the bar is packed). You do have to pay 10 kr per game here.

A loud sporty bar with predictable beer. Most people know a bar like this somewhere. There is not much choice in the area though and they do have the odd special offer on drinks from which you could benefit. If you get one of the booths to the right of the door then you probably won’t want to give it up! Is this place called Magrath’s or The South African Bar?
