Craft, history and good hours — in the heart of Aarhus, at Ryesgade 29.

In the heart of Aarhus, where travellers once found rest and restraint, now stands a place created for the opposite.

We serve well-crafted beer, honest food and good hours — in surroundings where the weight of the past meets the pulse of the present. A place where you are allowed to stay a little longer.

Delicious and well-prepared food, good wines and exciting cocktails. The place doesn't make things more complicated than necessary — it's simple, tasty and well-executed.

Super delicious food, where the focus is on taste and performance. The service is attentive, friendly and observant.

Had a really good lunch today in the cosy rooms — an insanely good burger with crispy fries and fantastically well-prepared beef. Really worth a recommendation.
