Don't be fooled by the name: dark, wood-panelled Eiffel Bar is a red-blooded Danish dive bar, and all the better for it. The joint dates back from 1737, when it was a hit with local sailors. The beer here is cheap, with all the standard local brews available on tap, plus a few Danish craft ales. A solid choice for an animated, amiable, old-school vibe.
