Nørrebro Bryghus

A friend called this place a ‘gastro-​brewery’ when we entered and he wasn’t wrong — it’s probably the swankiest brewery environment I’ve ever seen; an impressive space but probably a bit too polished for my tastes in a beer house. You can see the brewery on the ground floor as you enter and the stairs lead up to the large bar and restaurant.
As you’d expect, Nørrebro brewery’s ales feature heavily on the list and we duly ordered from the extremely friendly manager. We inadvertently arrived at the wrong time for food — the hour between 4pm and 5pm is apparently when kitchens close down so the chefs and staff can eat — but the manager was a legend and arranged for two bowls of chips to be brought out for us.
Sat outside in the afternoon sun, we chomped down on those delicious triple-​cooked chips, enjoyed our beers and then wandered on. Wonderful staff and good beer aside, I probably wouldn’t dash back here for drinks again — perhaps for an evening meal though.

Great selection of own-​brewed beers, a few simple dishes, friendly wait-​staff and boisterous brewery atmosphere.

Large group dinner. Staff was super friendly and efficient. Knowledgeable about the beer and the history of the spot. Really nice.
Food was cod over mashed potatoes and shaved beets. Nice taste. Nothing special. Dinner was the guineafowl with kale and mashed potatoes. Also ok. Four kind of beers served
More suited for the beer lover…

They make really good beer their food is not that nice. The place is lovely to visit and have the atmosphere of the whole brewery behind.

Modern, trendy brewpub sort of out secluded that requires quite the hike to visit. Décor is posh and minimalist, modern. Beers on tap were exclusively their own, which all had DMS problems from perhaps poor ventilation and a new organic malt supplier. Tasting samples available in 25cL glasses, which I thought were pretty large for tasters. Another patron had 10cL glasses — I inquired about them but was brushed off. Didn’t try any food, but it looked a bit upscale. No normal bar snacks on the menu that I saw. Staff was generally disinterested in serving us requiring me to loiter at the bar more than once even though the place was empty.

Dropped in just for a taste of the homemade beer and were not disappointed. The standard brew and an «experimental» called The prince of darkness” were both delicious. Had some crisps and olives as snacks, presentation was nice and service was quick and friendly.
Would come here again for a proper dinner.

Freshly arrived from Seattle and jet lagged, and in need of fresh air and exercise, headed here for a local brew. Brew capacity is 900‑1000 liters per batch with about ten beers available at any one time.
The Baltic Porter was especially tasty today. Another bonus right now in conjunction with the Copenhagen jazz festival is free jazz starting from 930 pm each night.
Service is very friendly.

We were part of a food tour in Copenhagen and had the pleasure of stopping in for a small beer tasting. Although it was incredibly hot, the Pub had a very good vibe to it. You can see where they brew and watch part of the batch processing while enjoying a pint. The food aroma was amazing too — although we didnt get to try any of the food.
We sampled three types of beers including a Brown ale that was very smooth. It was a fun little afternoon stop and I would recommend for those who like beer or like to pair beer with food.

Super hygge restaurant where you can drink tasteful home-​made beers. Lots of candles and soft lights.
Good service and nice environment (rather big restaurant tho, so can be a bit noisy)

I’ve been here twice now, and I’ve been dissatisfied twice. Everything is overpriced, even for Copenhagen. There’s nothing special about the food and you can get better beer elsewhere. Our server was horrible. We had to chase down our server to get our check, even after we told him my sister was feeling ill. Overall, all my experiences here have been awful. There are so many amazing restaurants in Copenhagen, and this is not one of them. Don’t waste your money or time.

Went here with my boyfriend and had a beer and some food. The waiters were very friendly (which is rare in Copenhagen) and they knew their beers well. The food was actually very good (i was a bit surprised, because this is all in all a brewery) and the beer were off course great. Very nice atmosphere and I would recommend it any day for beer lovers!

I think I might have had this season’s last outdoors beer here last weekend. The Copenhagian sun was shining like never before and made it durable to rest ones behind on the wooden outside benches of Nørrebro Bryghus.
It didn’t take long before the waitress approached us and asked what we would like. Seeing as we were too busy talking about how nice everything was (typical of Norwegians), we weren’t ready. When we were ready shortly after, the waitress (very smiley and nice btw) had vanished. After some time, we managed to order beer and food. I got myself an IPA called «Skinny Bitch», which was quite good, even though the name was what it was. The food consisted of a beef sandwich, which didn’t taste that much and some very yummy french fries. My friend ordered a smaller scallop dish, but was a bit disappointed at how small the dish actually was.
With dark, sterile and brewery fitting interiors, Nørrebro Bryghus is perhaps not the most cosy location for a fall or winter evening. But they sure do have a lot of different beer. It is probably very nice for groups who want to learn more about beer and brewing of such.
If it hadn’t been for the lovely weather and possibility to sit outside, this might have been a 3-​star review.

I have been here a couple of times, one of them was out dining with friends. I do like the concept of having a bar and restaurant in a brewery and I do like their beers, but for me, Nørrebro Bryghus is a bit too correct. It is all very clean and well planned and I like it, but there can also be a bit too much of it, so much that it looses it’s personality. Basically like walking into an IKEA exhibition, but for beers.
The food was alright, I have had better as well, so now I mostly pop by for a quick beer on my way somewhere. After the renovation a month or so ago it got a bit more cozy, getting rid of the bright colours and replacing the menus with chalkboards (they can be a bit confusing though).
The staff all wear suspenders and jean shirts, as the rest of the place it is very hip, very correct, which again can be a bit too much. Prices are in the higher range, a beer and a cappuccino will set you back at least a 100DKK.
If you like Nørrebro Bryghus beers, there are better places to get it. But you should go here and check out the place just for the experience, remember the tanks (you really can’t miss them) on your left as you enter.

The three stars are for the food and the service. We went there to have dinner with friends. Can’t say I got too overwhelmed with the food. Somehow I feel the portions were small, although quite tasty and the service was not as exquisite as I would expect for this price range.
On the other hand going to the bryghus for a beer and sitting outside in the street gives a better experience. The beers are good (a bit expensive but ok) and even the bar downstairs can be cool in a cold night. I just wouldn’t go back for the food itself.

Great place for beer, they make it themselves. The offer circulates regularly, so they will have beers matching the season which is more than most places will be able to offer. Besides this you can get food in the bar or treat yourself at the restaurant above.
The bar also offers reading material, mostly the newest papers and magazines, but also books on brewing and beer.

Four stairs to the downstairs bar, the atmosphere is very nice, although I much prefer smaller less «refined «bar !
Three star to the restaurant upstair, the food is very nice and so is the selection. Genuine ingredients, Scandinavian taste and a lot of choice !
Yet I feel that the price is a bit too high and the service a bit too fast.
Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if friends/​family from abroad are visiting. Maybe not exciting enough for an average occasion: D

The concept is similar to Mikeller’s, handcrafted beer and what not but they have less choices to choose from. I must admit, the atmosphere felt very American. My favorite is the ravnsborg rød. Just because it’s the fruitiest. When compared to Mikeller, I prefer the beer from Nørrebro Bryghus, but when comparing the atmosphere, both are equally good in their own sense. I love the lighting in Nørrebro Bryghus, it’s more cozy than Mikeller but I love the branding and social atmosphere at Mikeller.

Fantastic space, very reminiscent of a few American urban brewpubs. Lots of light, polished wood, cool industrial loft-​y space.
Comfy seating, friendly staff. Once they realized I was American, the staff ended up chatting with me for quite a while about Danish and American craft beers, and my impressions of each.
One of the best IPAs I had in Denmark.
I got there after lunch, so I didn’t try the food, but the menu looked great.

I have only been to the downstairs portion of the Norrebro Bryghus, so this review is only for that and not for the upstairs dining room.
The beers were good and the food was quite amazing in my opinion. I had the steak served with haricots vert, garlic confit, potatoesand sauce bearnaise. The steak was a large portion and probably the best steak I’ve had in a while. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and the garlic confit was just so so delicous in that sweetly pungent way.
The décor downstairs is surprisingly bare, but maybe that’s just my unfamiliarity with scandanavian décor speaking. But overall, I loved the food, the service, and the beers.
I also noticed Scrabble boards on the side of the room, so maybe if you come with some friends, you can grab beers and play a game! I would love to come back and try that.

A very interesting restaurant that brews its own beer! We went for the 5 course meal that actually has a different beer with each course. From what I was told, some restaurants like to get back to their viking roots and prepare some food in that way. Well in this case, one of the courses was pork. It tasted good but honestly, it seemed that 50% of it was fat but well cooked and to me, didn’t really taste like fat. Well, I realized it the next day however when it came back out! If your stomach cannot handle much fatty food or greasy food, you can opt for a steak instead. Of course I didn’t know what was expected at the time.
As for the 5 beers — they were all excellent! Well 4 of the 5 were. The last one, the dark one that was served with dessert had a slight woody coffee taste to it. Great!
Try the place out if you get the chance, at least for a beer. The menu isn’t cheap though!

Die Privatbrauerei Nørebro Bryghus bietet neben der Möglichkeit zum Kauf der unterschiedlichen Biere auch ein lohnenswertes Restaurant. Die moderne Einrichtung geht über zwei Etagen mit einer gemütlichen Lounge-​Atmosphäre im unteren und einem Restaurant mit freiem Einblick in den Küchenbereich im oberen Stock.
Das Essen ist exzellent, kreativ angehaucht und liebevoll dekoriert.
Es gibt unter anderem ein Biermenü, bei dem man zu einem mehrgängigen Essen zu jeder Speise ein anderes passendes Bier bekommt. Jedoch sollte man sich vorher überlegen, ob man wirklich zu jedem Gang 0,3l Bier möchte, was sich schnell summiert.
Gerade auch für Geschäftsessen ist das Restaurant sehr zu empfehlen, Touristen sieht man eher weniger, da keine größeren Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe sind.
