Skindbuksen København

Copenhagen at noon. The sky hung low, heavy with rain, the streets slick and reflective, as if the city had been dipped in mercury. We stepped into Skindbuksen, escaping the cold like sailors finding shelter from a storm. The wooden panels and low ceiling absorbed the outside world, muffling the wind, the footsteps, the slow movement of time. The liver pâté arrived first. An acquired taste, they say. Like jazz, or loneliness. But the seasoning was careful, deliberate, like the way some people measure their words before speaking. Next came the crispy pork belly, its skin crackling under the weight of my fork. The taste was precise, almost mathematical in its perfection—fat rendered, salt balanced, crispness exact. It brought me back to lechon kawali on a Sunday afternoon, the smell of oil and garlic, the sound of laughter somewhere in the background. The beef schnitzel followed. It was okay. No more, no less. Like something a mother would make after a long day, not out of inspiration, but out of love. Then the chocolate mousse. Dark, bittersweet, the kind of dessert that carried its own philosophy. The first spoonful held the weight of old regrets; the second, the quiet thrill of something won after years of waiting. I took a sip of Grøn Pilsner. The warmth of the alcohol spread through my body, pressing against the 7-degree winter like a familiar hand on my shoulder. Outside, the rain kept falling. Inside, the world softened at the edges. Before leaving, I visited the men’s room. Dim lighting. The faint smell of disinfectant. For a moment, I felt like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, standing in the quiet, knowing something irreversible was about to happen. I half-expected to reach behind the cistern and find a gun. Instead, I washed my hands, looked at myself in the mirror, and walked back out into the rain.

Loved this traditional Danish resto/pub! Their schnitzel was so delicious! Prices however are a bit on the high side. Overall, really nice atmosphere!

A fun place to enjoy a wide variety of drinks, hang out with the locals and listen to some live piano. 🇨🇦🇩🇰

A very cool bar! We had some beers and had dinner, one dish each. We paid 30 or so euros per person but it was worth it. There was a very good atmosphere, people playing board games and chatting.

A classic hook near Kongens Nytorv and Strøget. Worth a visit. Learn to be Copenhagen's oldest restaurant.

Fantastisk sted som vi forsøger at besøge hver gang, vi er I København. Desværre er Skindbuksen også coronaramt, men de er absolut et besøg værd.

Overall worth a visit. Solid food, good draft beer, rustic location. Prices okay for Copenhagen. Music could be a bit quieter, service a bit rough.

I recommend it a thousand and one times... In addition to being a place that is almost 300 years old, it is right in the center on Stroget Street, the service is phenomenal, there is one of the guys in the kitchen who has the Spanish porsiacaso the food is super delicious and he Most amazing of all, the prices are super normal knowing how everything is in Copenhagen, we ordered 2 dishes and 2 Cocacolas and they were around 450dkk... I would repeat as many times as necessary hehehe

It's as it should be in such a place 🍻

Locale storico, molto intimo ma con un’anima rock che ho adorato (scelta musicale di qualità e questa è una cosa che io apprezzo molto). Le pareti del locale sono tappezzate di cimeli storici…perfino il bagno è figo!!! Da videomaker/fotografo non sapevo più cosa fotografare. Probabilmente non è concepito come locale per famiglie ma il personale è stato spettacolare: eravamo in tre famiglie con 5 bambini, e hanno avuto un occhio di riguardo anche per loro. Il menu non ha molta scelta ma questo garantisce un’ottima qualità dei piatti! Birra molto buona…poi sono partiti i giri di Tequila e la festa è iniziata. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo! Un po’ costoso ma in linea con i prezzi di Copenaghen! CONSIGLIATISSIMO!
