The story of Ølhalle
Since 1892
In the cellar of the Workers Museum you will find Copenhagen's only listed cellar tavern. The historic rooms have been restored to look as they did in 1892, and the restaurant carries its original name.

The kitchen
The food you know
Smørrebrød, warm classics, tartlets and rødgrød med fløde (red berry pudding with cream). All homemade, a little greener, a little healthier and at least as delicious as you remember.
Restaurateur Helena Rørbo is a trained gastronome and previously ran Madmanifesten, one of the country's first organic restaurants, which received the Organic Gold Label in 2014.
The workers' beer that came back
The Stjernen brewery closed in 1964, and today we are the only place in the world that serves its beer.
