Craft Beer, Cocktails & Sunset in Nyhavn
Some evenings don't need a plan. Just a cold beer, a good seat and the light turning golden over the canal.
That's Oranje. A bar on a ship from 1898, in the quiet end of Nyhavn in Copenhagen. Drop by for one drink – or stay for three. Come as you are.
Local craft beer on tap
Our taps pour from Danish craft breweries like To Øl, Åben, Brøl and Gamma. Expect a crisp organic pilsner, hazy IPAs, a fruited gose, a brown ale – and a dry Irish stout for the darker evenings. The taps change, so ask the crew what's flowing today.
Prefer a small one? Ask for a 25 cl. Skipping alcohol? Try a non-alcoholic IPA or sour from To Øl and Åben.
Cocktails with a view
Start with an Aperol Spritz while the sun is still up. Switch to an Infinity Negroni when it isn't.
Or try something you'll only find on board. Nordisk Have, with Danish snaps, honey and lemon. Pepper Merchant, with pear, bourbon and pepper. Lost Harbour, with mezcal, Scotch and orgeat. And an espresso martini for the night owls.
Rather have wine? The list runs from organic Prosecco and Champagne to Albariño and Chablis.
One of Nyhavn's best sunsets
The quiet end of Nyhavn has a way with sunsets. From the Top Deck, the sky turns orange over masts and rooftops, and the canal turns gold below. It's the best seat on the ship – and, we think, one of the best in Copenhagen.
In winter, the sun goes down in the afternoon. The perfect excuse for a long, late lunch on board.
Something to go with it
Beer sausages, made to sit next to a beer. Oysters with lemon. Olives with fresh herbs, salted nuts, fries with homemade mayo. Or a board of Danish cheeses to share. The kitchen is open until 21:00 (Friday–Saturday 21:30).
Not quite a pub, not quite a bar
Looking for a gastropub in Nyhavn? We'd rather call it a ship. Wooden decks instead of bar stools. The canal instead of a TV screen. Come for one drink, stay for hours, or let it turn into dinner. Nobody's counting.
Questions we often hear
Can I come just for a drink? Of course. Pull up a chair on deck or on the terrace.
Do you have non-alcoholic options? Yes. Non-alcoholic craft beer, homemade lemonade and juices from Bornholms Mosteri.
When is sunset in Copenhagen? Around 22:00 at midsummer, and around 16:00 in the middle of winter.
Good to know
We're open every day from 11:30 to 22:00 (Friday–Saturday 22:30). On warm evenings the Top Deck fills up fast, so book a table if you want a sunset seat. Find us at Nyhavn 65A, 1051 Copenhagen K, in the quiet end of the canal.
