A very exceptional place. It’s like going back to the 60 or 70TH. Except for mobilephones and Macs. They are specialiced in belgian brews, so I miss danish and american micros. The service is somewhat uninspired and lazy. But the ambiance is great.

Very solid selection, among which the 3 Westvleteren (85DKK), cosy place, nice music, Wi-Fi (but too smokey and too dark). Waterpipes available. Anyway, I like it!

Pleasant relaxed place, but as everyone notes, bar prices in Denmark are so astronomical that it rather takes the shine off an evening down the pub.

Update may 2007: Even fewer beers now than at my last visit. Hancock and leffe being the "greatest hits" at this bar. Way to many belgian brews and no english. To few danish microbrews. The service being too interested in girls and the person behind the desk, didn´t know much (anything?) about beer.

Pretty much agree with the other reviews. Nice place with a great atmosphere but the beer selection, whilst decent, was a bit uninspiring. The bottled Begian selection is solid but there’s not really anything I couldn’t get at home, so there’s not much attraction in paying Danish bar prices for them. More Danish microbrews would have been appreciated. Ended up having a Hancock Black Lager and a St Feuillien Brune (which I’d not had on draught before) and that was about it.

I like this place, hasn’t changed in 2 years. Not even the selection - but here that is ok. The selection is not overwhelming, but OK. The service is pleasant. The location / ambience is very nice. I don’t think people comes here for the beer, that is just a bonus. I will be back.

I like Ris-Ras a lot, it has a great atmosphere. Great in the summer when they open the door, it gets a bit smoky during winter. The beer selection changes very little, they have 14 draughts and only on of them changes once in a while (it has been Anchor Porter since before Christmas). Somehow the quality of the draught beer has gone drastically down, and you often get a beer that is “broken” (as late as today I had a sour Anchor Porter). Somehow Ris-Ras is not really a beer bar, it is more like a bar with a great atmosphere and a lot of different beer.

This is mainly a student bar, with reasonable prices: 40 DKK for a pint of American import compared to 50 DKK for a 40 cl. Danish macro close to Å’en 300 meters away. I find the place very cozy - it was one of my regular bars, when I lived in Århus, and probably would be again if I moved back there. The service is friendly, but only a few of the emplyees really know their beers. The selection is huge for the "untrained", but I haven’t found any new beers there in more than a year - but they have rare beers like Westvleteren. They have been threatened to be sued by Rolls Royce, since their old logo was very similar - the new one is not as pretty, but they avoided the court suit - which they probably would have lost.

Very interesting cafe with big beer selection. Beers are served in the right glassware. Beside the beer, take a look around the cafe and spend some minutes looking at all the funny stuff on the walls and in the shelfs. Then return to the beer.
