Best Arsenal Bars in Nordic & Eastern Europe (2026 Edition)
Introduction
The Nordic and Eastern European regions host a surprising breadth of official Arsenal supporter clubs, from Iceland in the far north-west to Azerbaijan in the Caucasus, from Norway, which may have Arsenal's most unique Gooner hub outside England & the US, to the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Beyond the Highbury Pub in Oslo (Legend), several other verified sports bars across the Nordic and Eastern European regions serve as official or primary hubs for Arsenal supporters as of 2026.
In the Nordic countries, Stockholm's Flying Horse has been the meeting point for Arsenal Sweden since 2016. Copenhagen is particularly well served, with the Southern Cross Pub as the most established Arsenal hub in the capital and Hop House in Amager home to its own dedicated Arsenal Supporters Club branch. In Denmark, outside of Copenhagen, Barry's Pub in Randers is the home base of Arsenal Denmark's founding chairman, and the Aalborg chapter is active with a local pub currently being confirmed. In Finland, Draft Sports Bar in the Mall of Tripla is the recognised Helsinki venue for Arsenal supporters.
In Eastern Europe, Mojo Sports Pub in Bucharest's Old Town is the primary Arsenal Romania gathering spot, Dutch Pub in Prague hosts official Czech & Slovak Arsenal SC pre-parties, Shamrock Irish Sports Bar in Warsaw draws Arsenal Poland supporters for major matchdays, and The Pub-Aaron's Pub on Budapest's Király utca is the top community recommendation for Arsenal Hungary members.
We're still building this guide and researching home pubs, bars, and watch parties across the full region. We are going to work with the local Supporter groups to do our best to build the Best Sports Bars for fans. Please let us know what we can do better.
Please comment to help us improve our recommendations and find any hidden Gooner spots we've missed. COYG!

Conclusion
From the Highbury Pub in Oslo, one of the most famous Arsenal bars outside England, to clubs in Iceland, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, Arsenal's Nordic and Eastern European presence is a testament to the spirit of the club. The official supporter clubs here are tightly knit communities that have maintained their Gooner identity across decades and enormous geographical distances from North London. We are in the process of researching the home pubs, bars, and watch parties for the Gunners across the full region and will continue to add venue profiles as they are confirmed.
The verified venues in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Randers, Helsinki, Bucharest, Prague, Warsaw, and Budapest give visiting Arsenal fans a clear starting point in nine cities. For every other location in the region, the contacts above are your best route to finding fellow Gooners. The global Arsenal community is one of football's most welcoming – reach out before you travel.
