Postgaarden Hjørring Hjørring

Its a classic old Danish beerhut

Postgården Øl & Vinstue at Skolegade 19 is one of the places in Hjørring where you can still experience the classic Danish pub culture. It is not a modern cocktail bar or café, but a traditional and very local pub with its own history and atmosphere. The place has been at this address for many years. The Historical Archive of Hjørring has, among other things, pictures of Postgården Øl & Vinstue from 1986, and there is material from the address even further back, when the place functioned as Restaurant Postgården. This gives the place a historical dimension that many newer bars naturally do not have. Postgården is primarily a place where people come for the social aspect. Here it is all about having a beer, meeting other people, talking and enjoying the traditional pub atmosphere. Reviews from guests often highlight the cozy atmosphere, friendly people and the feeling of a real local place. The decor is traditional and old-fashioned in a very deliberate pub way. There are various beer-related decorations and posters, and the place has retained much of the look that you associate with a classic Danish bodega. That is part of its charm and identity. There is also a cozy courtyard environment, which several guests highlight. It gives the place another dimension, especially when the weather is good and you want to sit a little more secluded from the street. You should be aware that Postgården is first and foremost a tavern and not an ordinary eatery. Food is not usually served like in a restaurant. On the other hand, special activities and parties are arranged, where there is sometimes food. There has been, among other things, a summer party with a whole roast suckling pig. There is also a community around “Postens Venner”, which arranges various activities. There have been, among other things, parties and bus trips, which speaks very well that Postgården is not only about the room itself, but also about the social community around the place. The opening hours are unusually long. It opens as early as 7:00 am every day of the week. Monday to Wednesday and Sunday it is open until midnight, Thursday until 2:00 am and Friday and Saturday until 3:00 am. This means that Postgården functions both as a pub during the day and as part of Hjørring's nightlife later in the week. You should also be aware that smoking inside is mentioned by several visitors. For some it is part of the traditional bodega experience, while for others it can of course be a disadvantage. In my opinion, Postgården is interesting because the place does not try to follow every modern trend. It sticks to the traditional pub culture, where people, conversations and community are more important than modern decor and fancy drinks. All in all, a very authentic and local pub with lots of history and personality. If you want to experience a part of the old pub culture in Hjørring, have a beer and meet local people in informal surroundings, Postgården Øl & Vinstue is a place that definitely has its own place in the city.
