Stopped into WarPigs while visiting Copenhagen because I couldn't resist checking out the BBQ scene abroad. I ordered the brisket sandwich, brisket & beans, mac and cheese, and the hush puppies. The hush puppies were the standout - crispy, golden, and full of flavor. Honestly, they were the star of the meal and something I'd come back for. The brisket and sides were solid, but as someone from Austin, Texas (where the BBQ bar is sky-high), I found them just okay. The brisket had decent smoke but wasn't quite as tender or flavorful as what I'm used to back home. Mac and cheese was creamy, but nothing to write home about, and the beans leaned more toward hearty than standout. The atmosphere is lively - a mix of a beer hall and BBQ joint, with a fantastic selection of beers on tap. Service was friendly and casual, very much in line with the vibe. If you're in Copenhagen and craving BBQ, Warpigs is worth a visit for the hush puppies and the fun brewery atmosphere. Just know that if you're from a BBQ capital like Austin, you may find yourself comparing.
This place was packed on a Friday night! I stopped by for a late dinner at 9pm, so unfortunately a lot of the items on the food menu were already sold out. I did end up trying the brisket and mac n cheese though. The brisket was super tender, had a great texture, and was pretty tasty (although slightly salty). The mac n cheese was very disappointing though. It was watery and reminded me of low-quality Kraft mac n cheese. The best part about this place is the Mikkeller beer. There's an extensive beer selection here. I really enjoyed my sour. Overall, the ambiance was great and lively. There was a pretty good live band that played from 10-11pm on the night that I visited.
if in Copenhagen, and you like beer and BBQ, then get to this place. Nicely located a brief walk from the city center to the Meat Packing district which has some other restaurants and sites. We enjoyed some pints of the house beers from Mikkellar and shared pulled pork and some sides - the baked beans and Mac n cheese were good. They have many communal picnic type tables inside and some outside seating on the patio on nice days overlooking the harbor. Note the prices are a little higher than expected, but worth the experience in our opinion.
Echoing many other reviews, WarPigs was incredibly busy. I was actually surprised to see a Texas-style BBQ and craft beer eerily reminiscent of American breweries in the heart of Copenhagen, but it seems to be VERY popular. Since we had a dinner reservation nearby we didn't get any food, but I will saw, from what I saw...everything looked really good. We came here for the beer, and I tried two Hazy IPAs as well as a Black IPA, a new one for me. I am a huge hazy NEIPA fan, and both of these hit perfectly. The hardest part was finding somewhere to post up, which we did eventually. Each beer came out to about $10 US, which isn't bad for the quality and size of the pour. BBQ, beer, or both, WarPigs is definitely worth a visit.
Yeah 5 stars for the sunny day. Five stars for the cold IPA and Five Stars for the Vegan portobello mushroom sandwich! Long walk from our hotel but what a treat. Loved the service and choice of indoor/outdoor dining tables. Yes it's a BBQ restaurant with lots of BBQ for the hungry carnivores but, gotta love they had a little something on the down low for the good guys!
Mikkeller is one of my favorite breweries, and their take on BBQ did not disappoint. I was shocked by how good all the food was. The brisket was definitely the standout, nice smoke ring, thick bark, so juicy and tender. The pulled pork was surprisingly juicy as well where that often ends up being pretty dried out. They were out of hot sausage, so I had whatever the sausage was, tasted like it had cheese in it, wasn't my favorite, but was okay. The mac and cheese was creamy, but not overly strong on the cheese flavor. And the beans lacked the right tangy zing that I'm used to. Burnt ends in the beans was a nice tough though. Hushpuppies were phenomenal though, definitely grew up eating those, and these hit the spot. Overall the fixins are a nice accoutrement to the meat, but certainly didn't outshine it. There's a ton of beer options, and you order in a separate line from the BBQ which is good because the BBQ line definitely got backed up. There were somewhere around 20 beers here, and they had a couple stout options which are my favorite. The Mikkeller in San Diego (RIP) brewed a lot of stouts and they are surprisingly hard to find. Where do I get Beer Geek?? If you're looking to snag some Mikkeller beer and a bite to eat, this is the spot. The place is filled with picnic tables and was super busy around 6 pm on a Thursday when we were there. We could only find tables outside. There is a table full of a handful of different sauces which were fun to try. There isn't really napkins here which is one of my complaints, there's just a roll of paper to pull from by the trash cans. The trash is also set up in a way that makes it hard to pull out and scrape your food off at the same time. The bathroom also wasn't in great shape. As a restaurant, it's by no means a fine dining experience, and in my opinion, could use some touch ups to make the eating here a bit more pleasant all around. But clearly it's not keeping the crowd away, and it won't stop me either from coming back.
Copenhagen's beer Mecca.. A collaboration between Three Floyds and Mikkeller. Always great rotating beer on tap Always great smoked meats and sides coming out of the kitchen. I've tried the brisket, hush puppies with pimento cheese, Mac & cheese, burnt ends baked beans and my favorite the smoked wings! It's always busy when I'm here for the Mikkeller Beer Celebration, but there's plenty of seating both inside and out. I always visit when I'm in Copenhagen
Decent beer and decent BBQ. WarPigs came up as a brewery while I was on vacation in Copenhagen. It was walking distance from my Airbnb so I went to check it out. I like the vibe of WarPigs. It's got a modern rustic interior, is a fairly big space and has tons of seating inside and out. Plus there's plenty of sauce for the BBQ at every table. Beer and BBQ ordering is done separately. Initially I wanted a beer, and had a good time with a helpful bartender finding something to drink. It was a high ABV IPA that wasn't too hoppy. Eventually I went back and got some ribs and brisket. They were ok and would have been better with some Sweet Baby Ray's, but hey, can't have everything you want on vacation. I would definitely visit WarPigs again.
My husband and I had just landed in Copenhagen from a morning of flying and were staying at the Tivoli Hotel headed to Tivoli Gardena itself. Lo' and behold it was a rainy overcast day in CPH, surprise surprise! Hah. But we were really craving something warm and protein forward. Which led us to WarPigs! To be honest, I didn't have the highest expectations. Having awesome BBQ from home and across the US, I wasn't expecting this place to necessarily be stand out. Boy, was I wrong. This place was phenomenal. It's tucked in an industry style area right by the gardens. We walked in, counter style where they make it in front of you and you ring out. We opted to share a brisket sandwich with all the fixings, burnt end beans, spicy a pickles and an order of the mac entree ( which takes about 5-10 minutes to prepare). They also have a stellar beer list as it's a brewery as well! The atmosphere is spacious and open with large community tables through out. They have MASSIVE paper towel rolls and you can grab pitchers and glasses of water as well as their crates of BBQ when you sit down. Everything was amazing. The real stand out was the BBQ sauce. They have four types and every single one was delicious. Seriously I think the best bbq sauce we've ever had. Shared a pastry sour, good but not stand out. Overall, absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. We basically rolled out of there.

The beer here is very good, and the BBQ is heavenly! We shared briskett, hot links, and pork ribs. You could have knocked me over with a feather once we tried the meat - it's the best damn BBQ I've had this year outside of Texas! We also got the mac & cheese and the potato salad sides. Both were solid choices, with the mac & cheese being unquestionably the best of the two. Tip: Danish pricing tends to run quite a bit higher than those in the US, so you may well experience "sticker shock" when the check comes - you'll find yourself needing to pay at least double for the BBQ here as compared to typical US prices. Yes, the prices are high, but their BBQ is nothing short of amazing, and worth every Kroner! ;-) read more

Warpigs was great, but a bit expensive. They had a great NE IPA that I tried. Fruity, juicy, bitter with a great mouthfeel and nice bite out so it didn't taste too malty and hid the high ABV. However, beers starting at $8+ makes it tough to have a second. They had a great patio with lots of shared seating. They also had a BBQ joint that people seemed to be enjoying in case you get hungry. read more

These guys are as close as you're going to get to American barbecue in Copenhagen. Is it the very best I've ever had? No. Is it the best in Copenhagen, most probably. I'm going to give these guys a four. The mac and cheese was good, the brisket was fatty (per my request), and the pulled pork was pretty delicious. The hot wings were just okay. Overall I enjoyed the smokiness and the tenderness of the meats. Plus they have a big beer selection and outdoor seating. Their sauces are a bit off but not horrible. It's just not what you would think of when you think of American BBQ sauce. Try them, or not. It doesn't take away from the meats. It's not cheap but BBQ hardly ever is. You order your food by the pound and pay at the bar. Get dirty, this is BBQ. read more

Good was great! Customer service (the guy actually serving the plate) wasn't the friendliest though. He seemed irritated that I was asking questions about the food. I tried the hotlinks n potato salad. Both were great. Hubby had brisket sandwich and ribs and Mac n cheese. All was so good. Not to mention the different sauces on the table to try. Great food. Customer service could be better though. read more
If you want BBQ in CPH this is the place. It has been busy all the times I've visited. They finally had the special and hot links (they usually run out) and both were tasty. It isn't cheap as two links and an IPA was $28 but hey it's Copenhagen. The last time I was here they had a smoked Pastrami (not on the menu) and it was amazing! Would be great if they added to the menu. I've had the Brisket which was ok-great atmosphere and beer selection! read more
The short of it: Bbq smells amazing. Beer is on point! The long of it: This spot was on our list of possible places to eat/drink while in Copenhagen before we got there. We were already in the general area at a Mikkeller Bar and figured this would be a great next stop for more beer and definitely some food. It is located among a strip of businesses, stores and bars. War Pigs is a long space (if you see it, that will make sense) with a lot of communal beer garden-like tables both inside and outside. You get in line and order at the bar, and if you want food you have a separate line and place to order. When you pay for your food, you can also order and pay for a beer, then you take your receipt to the bar and pick up your beer. If you like really hoppy beers, you are going to love it here. I like trying different beers, so I loved it here, even though nothing really struck me as a favorite. The bartenders are friendly and happy to give a recommendation (I was pretty pleased with the wheat beer that was suggested to me). I was running low on daily funds, but needed some sustenance to get me through the rest of the night. I didn't need a full bbq meal, but it sure did smell amazing! I opted to get a side of mac & cheese. It was really delicious and quite filling, for a side-size of something! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. The weather was nice enough to sit outside, which is good because it was PACKED inside. You can get beer and food, the restrooms are clean. I mean...I got what I wanted, needed, and expected. Absolutely worth a visit! read more

I'm going to say this was one of the most refreshing BBQ joints I have come across in a long time. Set in the old meat packing district, is this no-frills all rock bar and restaurant. You'll find awesome craft beer and a great selection of BBQ meats and sides. They will slice up cuts to order, and build your own trays of spicy, yummy goodness. There is a huge assortment of beers and soda and a rock n roll atmosphere. It was a sunny spring day so all the outside tables were filled with lip smacking fans. I would definitely come here with friends or in this case, my partner for a fun time. read more

Best barbecue in Europe. You chose the meat and how much and they serve it hot on a tin tray. Brew pub is also nice. Recommend pork shoulder as brisket tonight was a bit dry. Their sauces are also really good. Spicy to sweet with coleslaw and three kinds of pickles as sides. read more

I was surprised when a BBQ and brewery was recommended to me in Copenhagen. This was my go-to when I lived in St. Louis. It was a short walk from our hotel which was nice, but not in the best lit location. The brewery was large with plenty of tables and had a pretty industrial feel. We ordered beer first - they had a ton of variety and we wanted to try several so we got a flight of 6 . The flight was a preselected one and a bit mislabeled so I'm not sure which beer was which. I had to try the barbecue even though I wasn't very hungry. I ordered a piece of brisket. They slice the brisket right in front of you. My piece was a little too fatty, but since I was just ordering it to try it there was plenty of meat, which was pretty good. The Kansas City and Texas sauces were appropriately sweet, tangy and spicy. I didn't try the other two as I've never been a fan of them. The BBQ was good but pricy for what I got. Had I been hungrier I would have loved to try the mac and cheese side as well. I imagine if I lived in Copenhagen I would be thrilled to have a place like this to remind me of home. read more

Generals gathered in their masses...but I digress. This is serious American style BBQ coupled with a serious metal up your arse soundtrack. From brisket to pork shoulder to sausage, if you've got a hankering for serious BBQ meats...they've got the meats. Oh and lot and lots of beer too. Tasty sides include sweet/spicy pickles, chunky potato salad, coleslaw. PROTIP: ask for the complimentary white bread to sop up the 4+ sauce options including the KC style my personal fav. Tons of picnic table outdoor seating makes this the perfect spot on a warm & sunny CPH day. read more

While wandering around the streets of Copenhagen, we unintentionally ran into the meatpacking district. This particular block was a huge U shaped building with dozens of bars and restaurants. There was a huge variety, and all looked pretty cool. I wasn't in CPH long enough to know if this was just a cool part of town, if it was Danish Hipster, or perhaps we were just mesmerized by the coolness of it all. We actually stopped at Hija de Sanchez (see other review) first, then made our way to Warpigs. The first thing I noticed about Warpigs was the name, the logo, and a bunch of happy people standing outside, beer in hand. Even before entering, some local guys out front turned and welcomed us. I inquired about what their suggestion would be for beer (always good to ask locals what they like, if you want to try homegrown stuff), and not only were they extremely helpful, they ALL said "here, try mine"! Talk about aloha spirit, alive and well in Denmark! That was super cool of them. And not only did I sip their drinks, one of the gentlemen said "this one was named after me. I'm Kenn Lee". This meant nothing to me at the time, but as soon as I made my way inside and saw the massive list of beers on tap (22 of them), sure enough number 22 was Kenn Lee's Revenge! I was browsing through all 22 on the board, and the moment I saw number 16, I knew I had to have it. Nowhere else on Earth can I go somewhere and order a "You Really F#%ked Me Up, And I'm Really F#%king Furious". The name alone sold me! Luckily, I'm not a picky beer drinker, and like imperial milk stouts, which this was. It didn't taste like a traditional imperial milk stout, it was stronger, similar to a harsh barley wine. I enjoyed it, yet it did give me a strong buzz, living up to its name. A few more of those and I do think I would be yelling it's name out loud- unsure if I was ordering or accusing. They also had a neat collection of in-house bottles, each with cool graphics on the label. I got a chuckle from the border crossing Mexas Ranger. Unfortunately, I stuck to draft beer though, and did not sample the bottles. Warpigs is actually a BBQ joint / brewpub. We had just eaten twice before arriving here, so I had zero room to try some BBQ, although I would have loved to. It looked delicious. This gives me the excuse to go back again, which I one million percent will, when I'm in CPH again. This place truly was great, in all aspects. read more

This place was delicious! I came here three years ago and only got a beer so on this second trip, dinner here was a must! They continue to have an excellent selection of different and unique beers. For dinner I shared the beef brisket, chicken wings, hot links, hush puppies, coleslaw and pickles. I could have done without the coleslaw and just gone with pickles since it was kind of disappointing. However, everything else was delicious, I would definitely recommend a stop by! read more
DELICIOUS! This should be a 'must have' for your visit to Copenhagen. There is a large beer list that will make anyone happy. The service here is incredibly fast. When ordering meat you have your tray and you tell them what you want; they grab, shred/pull apart, and plate your food on your tray as you stand in front of them -- avoids and wrong orders! The biggest surprise - and showed me they are a true BBQ spot - is they have Alabama white sauce! This is hard to find in most places of the world, even if you are at a bbq spot. All-around a great place to go! read more
After a week of eating deliciously bland food in Denmark I was ready to kick it up a notch and War Pigs was just what the doctor ordered. I love the concept. You wait in line, grab a tray, and then a dude slops whatever meat you desire onto your tray. You then move to the left to order your beer and pay. Find a table and then eat. It's essentially a cafeteria for carnivores with a cool vibe and soundtrack to match. In the States I would say War Pigs would rate as above average barbecue. Nothing earth shattering, but very good. It's quite pricey for barbecue. Perhaps double what equivalent barbecue would be in America. But this ain't America. When you put it all together. Food, and atmosphere. I think War Pigs delivers a winning combination that deserves a visit. read more

$24 for a flight of brewpub beer? Having Mikkeller and 3Floyds on the logo is disingenuous; the only connection is money (all the beers were brewed on their little 5 BBL or whatever, in the restaurant). Of the 6, 5 were just hop bombs, even the supposed "stout". That's great if you like hops, but the breweries that collaborated here do much more and better. So I've ranted about the beer bait and switch... maybe the food made up for it? No. Not even close. It's a tourist trap through and through. It was OK BBQ, but dry and the sauces were either flat, with nothing special to add, or just plain weird, something you knew one taste was one too many. There are SO many alternatives in a 2 minute walk...do yourself a favor and pick one of those. read more

Cool scene and tons of people but definitely have eaten at way better smoked meat places than this place. Cant say it was terrible but not anything special. We ordered the smoked brisket, pork shoulder and szechuan wings. If i were to ever order from them again i would stick with the brisket. The cuts we got had the right amount of fat to meat ratio and seasoned well. No bbq sauce required. However the shoulder was surprisingly dry and the wing sauce was not very good. It's supposed to be szechuan but it tasted like pure pepper and by far the worst wings we've ever eaten. Meat on the bone was also lacking. Most ppl looked like they were eating the brisket, buffalo wings, links, and sides. So maybe stick to a combination of those items. read more
Yummy American-style BBQ in Copenhagen. It was a holiday weekend so we weren't sure what would be open but they were! Yay!! They had a nice selection of meats, sides and small bites but they were out of a few things by this point in the day. The brisket, pork rinds, pickles and shrimp were all delicious. It seemed pricier than most places but that's just the US Dollar not stretching as far in Copenhagen. The beer choices were excellent as well. Nice place for a meal. Check them out! read more
We had a large group meeting in Copenhagen for a Danish-American wedding. We all love 3Floyds and BBQ so it was a great place for everyone coming in for the wedding to meet, drink and eat, and drink and eat! We had a fixed menu that included everything but the brisket...and that looked perfect too. Many choices of beer from this collaboration of 3Floyds and Mikkeller. read more

When i come inside this venue, the smell can be a bit too much, especially if you aren't a big fan of meat, but definitly worth a try. I would say, for one's who are into meat. Beers are way too expensive. read more
Atmosphere, beer and then the BBQ. It's a cool set up with plenty of seating inside. If you were having this BBQ in the U.S., the food would be half if not less the cost. The BBQ is decent and service is fast and courteous. The beer is excellent and plenty of choices. What I observed is people come for the BBQ but stay for the beer. I would come back for the excellent beer. read more
An amazing new beer bar in the former meat packing district, the existence of which I was previously unaware. It is not really a 'hygellig' place. The seating is on long tables/benches outside. I didn't notice much space to hang out indoors so am not sure what occurs in winter. Food is of the barbecue variety. The beer is seriously good and that is pretty much all that really matters! Its a collaboration between 3 Floyds (from Indiana) and local brewery Mikkeller. Why just collaborate on a beer, when you can collaborate on a whole pub!? read more
One of the many cool places in the old meatpacking district, War Pigs is a restaurant/ pub with an on-site brewery. You can get over 20 different beers on tap as well as gin tonic. Yep, I'm not kidding. You sit on long benches which makes it perfect for groups, in the summer there's plenty of seats outsides. Infact, this area gets so busy in the summer that it is hard to tell where one bar ends and the next one starts. Very good vibe here with many locals. read more
