Natural wine bar and shop in Nørrebro, Copenhagen
Terroiristen
Underground on Jægersborggade
The name is a pun, and a cheeky one. Terroiristen is a basement bar and shop on Jægersborggade, a Nørrebro street of small shops that never seems to stop changing, and it describes itself as an underground wine bar. Literally, since you go down the steps to get in.
The cause here is terroir. The wines are natural, organically or biodynamically grown, made without cultured yeast, unfiltered, wines that taste of the place the vines grew. Most of what they pour they import themselves. They will drink good wine from anywhere, but they keep a special affection for Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, the Czech Republic and Georgia, which is a map you will not see in many cellars. In 2025 Star Wine List named it the by-the-glass list of the year in Denmark. The food runs to charcuterie and a few hot and cold dishes. Monday nights there are seated tastings on themes like young and old Barolo or an introduction to natural wine.
Go on a Saturday when it opens in the late morning, or book a Monday tasting if you want to learn something. Ask for a glass from a country you have never ordered wine from. Leave with a bottle from the shop shelves. A basement with this much conviction deserves the business.
