Erlings Jazz- & Ølbar
Jazz from the turntable and fourteen craft beers on tap — on Nørreport.
Illustration made with AI
Erlings is a warm, dark room with red curtains where the jazz comes from vinyl and Miles Davis and John Coltrane sit on the shelf behind the counter. There are fourteen craft beers on tap, changed continuously — from crisp IPAs to heavy stouts and sour fruit beers — and the bartenders will help you choose.
There is live jazz several evenings a week, and those nights are worth planning around. The rest of the time the music is background rather than concert.
Open from two in the afternoon Monday to Saturday. Monday to Thursday they close at midnight, Friday and Saturday at two. Closed on Sunday.
It suits an afternoon beer that is allowed to become an evening, and anyone who wants to hear music without shouting. Nørreport is close to both the harbour and the centre.
Why it's worth a visit
- 14 craft beers on tap
