Mikkeller & Friends

40 tap beers and 200 bottles from Mikkeller, To Øl, and the finest craft breweries from around the world. With the adjoining lambic bar Koelschip, the selection is unrivaled in the city.

Once upon a time Mikkel Borg Bjergsø worked as a math and physics teacher at a Copenhagen high school. After school he taught two enthusiastic students to brew beer in the school kitchen. The brewing quickly became more than just a hobby for the two students, who started their own brewery, To Øl, in 2010. In March 2013, the two former students and their teacher joined forces and opened up the second Mikkeller bar in Copenhagen: Mikkeller & Friends. The bar was born out of the first bar’s popularity.

Mikkeller & Friends is three times the size of the bar at Viktoriagade, and has no less than 40 rotating taps. The bar also offers cider, Mikkeller Spirits, soft drinks and a selection of bar snacks from our friends at Warpigs Brewpub and Arla Unika.

Since February 2016, the specialized Belgian lambic bar Koelschip has been a part of Mikkeller & Friends. With an unrivaled selection of sour and other Belgian beer, the all-round beer experience at Stefansgade is one of the best in the city.

Mikkeller and To Øl handpicked a duo of interior decorators to build the perfect but untraditional surroundings for the beer. “We’ve created a modern bierstube from raw materials with a masculine expression and different kinds of standing and sitting areas that makes it possible for the guests to create their own intimate space without being isolated from the rest of the bar,” says Karsten K., who along with carpenter and designer Kristian Lillelund, Rum4, build an inventive universe with shiny, turquoise floors, light, custom-made wooden benches, tables and lamps and lots of adventurous details.
