Copenhagen is known as a city with expensive beer – and deservedly so. But it is actually possible to buy relatively cheap beer.

The following places all sell cheap beer. They are not all the cheapest, but compared to location, you will have trouble finding cheaper places (unless to buy your beer in the local supermarket).

Jagtstuen

Jagtstuen (The Hunting Room) is a real pub, but a nicer one. There are cloth on the tables and a normal Carlsberg or Tuborg can be bought for 15 DKR (about $3 or 2 Euro).

Café Mexico

This is one of the older, original pubs in the Vesterbro part of Copenhagen. This is the place where the locals come to enjoy a beer (or several), while they talk about their own life (and the rest of the world).

Every Thursday between 20 and 24 you can have two beers for 17 DKR.

The Moose

One of the cheapest places in the central part of Copenhagen. This is regular pub for many students, but you will also see local shopkeepers – and even journalists.

One of the reasons for the popularity is that you can have a large draft beer for 30 DKR. And Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday they same beer will only cost you 16 DKR.

Mågekroen

Another classical pub with locals from the neighbourhood. Mågekroen (The Inn of Seagulls) is located in the outer part of Nørrebro – but the prices make it worth the trip. Here you can have a normal beer for 13 DKR – and it is the same price for a snaps. Or you can buy a large draft beer for 18 DKR.

Floss

Floss is another central located pub bar with (relatively) cheap beer. Monday to Thursday it will cost you 22 DKR for two normal beers – or you can have two export beers for 30 DKR between 22 and 23.

Nyhavn

Nyhavn is infamous for the expensive beer. But if you do not mind sitting by the waterfront, you can buy your beer in the kiosk just around the corner (even though the prices here are more expensive than other parts of the city).
