In the heart of the Tenderloin and a couple short blocks from Union Square, Mikkeller Bar has soft-opened, a boon for beer aficionados and fans of the beloved Copenhagen brewery. But this bar and restaurant is not a replica of Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen. Opened by Chuck Stilphen, founder of The Trappist and Trappist Provisions in Oakland, he partnered with friend and Danish brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsø to open this SF bar featuring 42 taps of American and international beers, two cask handles, an extensive bottle selection, and numerous special house beers, including the Mikkeller Tenderloin Series.

The weekend of August 9-11th marks the bar’s grand opening and is packed with events and tastings to please the masses, including a rare, 7-course dinner on August 11th for Mikkeller beer and Scandinavian food fans alike with Danish Chef Jakob Mielcke.

The 1907 space houses a “sour room” cellar featuring Lambic and sour beers, and available for private parties and tastings. “Danish industrial” describes the brick-walled, clean lines of the large space designed by local Martin Heid Design/Build (Range, Adesso, Commonwealth), graced with artwork from the artist who designs Mikkeller’s beer labels, Keith Shore.
