What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hantwerk is praised for its excellent craft beer selection and cozy waterfront atmosphere, making it a popular spot for casual gatherings. While many enjoy the small plates and fish dishes, some diners found certain items like pizza to be disappointing, and service can occasionally be slow. Despite minor critiques, the overall experience, especially the beer and ambiance, garners positive feedback.
"We tried this place for lunch and it was very good. They have inside and outside terrace to eat or drink. For lunch we tried the fish tapas and the plate with 3 smørebrød. One with duck confit, another with fried fish and the last one with brie cheese. They offer a nice selection of product and of course it follow the same path with beers. They have a super good selection 🍻. So to conclude I really recommend this friendly place you won't regret it."

"Hi, I'm an Italian girl and last night, August 16, 2025, I was in Aarhus visiting the city and I heard a band playing at your club. A guy even proposed to his girlfriend. I'd love to know the name of the band that played. I fell in love with their music! Thanks!"

"The tartar was good, as was the beer. Service is not that great. Don't expect table service here, order at bar. It's a bar with food more than a restaurant in my opinion. But it all worked out great so recommend."
