A wine cellar from 1624 beneath Jens Bang's House — Aalborg's oldest address.

Red wine beneath the vaults of the wine cellar from 1624 — Duus Vinkælder

Illustration made with AI

Duus Vinkælder sits in the cellar beneath Jens Bang's Stone House, one of the finest Renaissance buildings in Denmark, and has poured wine down there since 1624. The vaults, the low ceilings and the dark rooms are why no other bar in the city can do the same thing.

There is lunch and dinner — open sandwiches and classic Danish dishes — and the wine card is the oldest tradition of the house. You can come for a glass without eating.

Open Monday and Tuesday from eleven to eight, Wednesday and Thursday until nine, Friday until half past nine and Saturday from ten to half past nine. Closed on Sunday.

Come for the room, stay for the smørrebrød. It suits visitors, an afternoon with a glass, and anyone who wants to sit somewhere with four hundred years of history in the walls.
