Pompette is Nørrebro's answer to a Parisian bistro, where Martin Ho's obsession with natural wine meets a cozy, no-frills atmosphere that feels more like hanging out at a friend's apartment than a commercial bar. You pick a bottle from the shelves (they have thousands, including rare finds like Gut Oggau) and pay a flat 100 DKK corkage to drink it at the bar—simple, fair, and perfect for wine nerds who want to explore without breaking the bank. The cheese and charcuterie board with burrata is always on point, and the bistro-style street seating gives you that authentic European people-watching vibe.
Nørrebro's Natural Wine Haven
Pompette is exactly what Copenhagen's natural wine scene needed—a no-nonsense spot where the focus is squarely on the wine, not the pretension. Martin Ho, the passionate owner, has curated one of the city's most impressive natural wine collections, with thousands of bottles tucked away in his cellar. Only about 10% are on display, so don't be shy about asking for recommendations. The pricing model is refreshingly simple: grab any bottle from the shop and add 100 DKK to enjoy it at the bar. It's a great way to try something you might not have purchased otherwise.
The food is straightforward but well-executed—think cheese, charcuterie, bread, and the ever-popular burrata. Nothing fancy, just good quality snacks to pair with your wine. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between cozy and lively, with bistro-style seating outside that's perfect for people-watching on warm evenings. It feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a destination bar, which is exactly what makes it special. If you're into natural wine or just want a relaxed spot with excellent selections, Pompette is worth the trip to Nørrebro.
