Craft beer, Danish classic beer on tap or bottled, Danish produced gin and wine, you name it… Our Akvavit Bar offers it all and of course both our traditional and newer akvavit types.
In fact, we have the biggest selection of akvavit in the Southern Hemisphere! It comes with a complete akvavit guide so guests can pair their food with just the right spirits. We also have a range of Danish craft beer, including the well known Mikkeller, as well as local craft beers on offer. Danish wines are also on offer as well as a Danish produced gin.
On a Friday night, our Akvavit Bar is open for drinks and we serve cocktails reminiscent of Denmark like the popular Copenhagen Cocktail and our dessert-flavoured Koldskaal Cocktail named after the Danish food of summer made with buttermilk, vanilla and lemon.
AKVAVIT BOARDS
Try our Flight to CPH which matches four mini-smørrebrød with four akvavits, or the Boilermaker: a mini-smørrebrød matched with an akvavit and a Danish craft beer on tap.
Our Akvavit boards are a chance for guests to sample a variety of akvavits available at Denmark House. The boards were handcrafted by Copenhagen-based wood crafter Adrien Barowski-Morley using the best oak and woodworking techniques.
Enjoy our Flight to CPH or Boilermaker in the Akvavit Bar during evening service.
Mortens Aften

You are more than welcome to bring your own favourite materials or paper cutting tools, templates, and personal Christmas traditions. You can also take decorations home for your own Christmas trees. Drinks and snacks available at bar prices. This event is free, and great for both adults and children.
Melbourne's popular annual beer event is a nine-day celebration of all things frothy and hoppy. Starting in 2011, it offers the best of 50 of Melbourne's best pubs - with the Akvavit Bar at Denmark House being one of them.
Come and sample our vast array of beer - from classic Danish beer on tap or bottled to our range of Danish craft beer, including the well known Mikkeller, and local craft beer.
Eurovision
Although the international Eurovision Song Contest is primarily a European affair, Australia has long had a passionate love affair with it, and even managed to participate successfully in it for the last couple of years.
At Denmark House we love getting into the Eurovision vibe and channeling our inner singer so join us for this fun annual event, usually around May.
Short history lesson: The annual song competition started in the 1950s and features primarily European participants each submitting an original song performed live and transmitted via the national broadcasters of the competing countries who cast votes for the other countries' songs to determine a winner.
First in best dressed.
J-Day
The day of the year when Denmark's famous brewery Tuborg - yes, nearly as famous in Denmark as Carlsberg is in the world - releases its annual Christmas beer - a popular and eagerly awaited event.
'J' stands for 'Jul' or Christmas in Danish.
Originally the day was devised as a beer related alternative to the celebration of the annual release of the French red wine Beaujolais which since the 1970s has been transported from France to Denmark by its keen fans under sharp media attention.
Come celebrate the arrival of the beer with us as Denmark House where we also enjoy the event, a relative newcomer in a Danish traditional context.
