What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Warpigs Brewpub is celebrated for its authentic Texas barbecue, particularly its brisket and ribs, paired with an impressive craft beer selection. The lively atmosphere in the Meatpacking District is a major draw, though some diners find the meats can be dry or salty, and sides like mac and cheese occasionally underwhelm. Service can be rushed, but the overall experience is often described as fun and worthwhile.
"I visited twice during a three-day stay. The food is excellent—probably the best mac and cheese I’ve had in a while. It gets quite busy, but the seating area is large, so I always managed to find a spot. They also have a great selection of fruity beers."

"I had an amazing experience at Warpigs! The atmosphere is fantastic, with a lively and welcoming vibe. The food was outstanding—perfectly cooked, full of bold flavors, and clearly made with passion. Whether you're here for the food, drinks, or just the incredible energy, Warpigs delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch quality and a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!"

"For a place which specialises in smoked meats, the meats were absolutely disappointing.
It was salty, dry and expensive. All the cuts were hard to chew. I got the trooper plate plus a cheesy sausage aka "special link". The sausage was lukewarm and the other meats were cold. Thats very disappoining for a plate which costs me €45.
The mac 'n cheese was cold as well. Good creamyness but the macaroni was hard and the cheese taste was missing.
Best thing on the plate was the coleslaw, had the right amount of sause.
I really liked the choice of craft beers. I got a smoked beer the "anchestors memory". It pairs ok with the meats. But again, might be different if theu were edible.
The ambiance was al right. It was loud but cosy. Theres no airco so you might get hot easily. The tables and seats were clean.
To top it off there was no service for food and drinks. The cashiers were rushed and had a cold attitude. There was no time for explaining what they had.
Overall, nice place but bad food."

The meatpacking district (Kødbyen) is one of the trendiest parts of an already trendy city.

In der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs und auf dem Gelände des Meatpacking Districts (Kødbyen) gelegen. Der Brewpub Warpigs gehört zur Hälfte zu Mikkeller, zur anderen Hälfte den US-Amerikanern von 3 Floyds Brewing. Beschreiben lässt sich das Ganze am besten mit einer Situation an einem schönen Sommertag auf den Bierbänken der Location: Hier sitzt ein Kalifornier mit Truckercap, riesigen Koteletten, Fliegersonnenbrille ala Top Gun, Bierbauch und einem etwas zu engen T-Shirt auf dem der Schriftzug ´”I like vinyl’s more than my girlfriend” auf der Veranda und lässt sich seine Rippchen, den Schweinebauch und seine Mac’n’Cheese auf einer Silberschlachterplatte schmecken, dazu ein lecker Warpigs Bier.

When Copenhagen beer legend Mikkeller joined forces with American brewery 3Floyds to open this aptly named 20 tap beer house and microbrewery in the Kødbyen "Meat Packing" District you knew that it would be an instant success. Draft cocktails, wines and spirits make up the offer and, in keeping with the area's history, there's a Texas Barbecue theme, which - despite all the working butchers that surround it - is so popular they have a habit of running out as the night goes on. Private dining is also available in the beer cellar below the huge former meatpacking factory
