Cafe & Øl-Halle “1892” Hjem // what’s on // Exhibitions // Cafe & Øl-Halle “1892” Menu The Workers’ Own Restaurant Café & Øl-Halle has been part of the Workers Museum building since it was constructed in 1879. In the early days, billiards and beer on tap were the big attractions. Over time, however, the classic Danish smørrebrød and catering for the many meetings in the building took over. Stauning and the Regulars’ Table Café & Øl-Halle has long been the setting for lunch meetings at the heart of the Danish labor movement. Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning had his regular table here, where he preferred an open-faced sandwich with spiced pork roll (rullepølse) topped with fat, aspic, and onions—accompanied by either a cold beer or a “Bear”: rum and lager served in the same glass! A Well-Preserved Cultural Heritage Today, Café & Øl-Halle is furnished in the style of the 1890s, when the striking glass ceiling was installed. It is Copenhagen’s only listed basement tavern—an unusually authentic encounter with the popular eateries of the past. Experience Café & Øl-Halle The café is open during the museum’s opening hours. The staff are always happy to share stories about the restaurant’s history — just ask.
