5. Den Glade Gris

Bar, European, Danish

Den Glade Gris is one of the most popular bars in Copenhagen known for showing all kinds of sports on its TV screens. So, we weren’t surprised to hear that they will screen all football matches during FIFA World Cup 2018. Being voted the city’s best sports bar three times on AOK, it comes as no surprise that ‘The Happy Pig’ attracts the city’s most enthusiastic crowd during varies sports events.

With a selection of 20 different beers on tap and 200 bottle beers and big TV screens showing all the major sports events, it’s no wonder Ørsted Ølbar occupies the top place on every football fan’s favorite-bars list. The cosy bar with the wooden tables and the relaxed atmosphere is located in the city centre, a stone’s throw away from Nørreport Station.

Cafe Guldhornene KBH always shows the Danish football team’s matches, so this year’s World Cup isn’t an exception. There are several TV-screens all over the bar, affordable drinks and usually, a loud crowd screaming ‘Skååål’ whenever the Danish team scores. If that sounds like the place you’d like to watch FIFA 2018, make sure to reserve a table for Denmark’s first game against Peru.

8. SKAAL

Another cool place with ice-chilled drinks and big screens broadcasting several games of the World Cup 2018 is SKAAL, a centrally located bar known for its large selection of different beers and its great variety of tasty snacks and Danish delicacies.
