Manhattan on Rosenkrantzgade in Aarhus mixes cafe and casual restaurant vibes with a distinctive local twist. It’s a spot where the atmosphere is just as much a draw as what’s on the menu – especially if you’re into socializing over a waterpipe, as the place is known locally for having some of the best in town.

The interior is inviting with a relaxed, somewhat playful energy. You'll find plenty of games to occupy yourself or your group, which helps create a friendly and informal environment. This makes it a natural hangout for groups of friends looking to linger for a few hours, whether on a quiet afternoon or a casual evening out.

Service here reflects a genuine community spirit. Locals have noted how attentive and empathetic the staff can be, ready to lend a hand in unexpected moments, which adds a warm layer beyond the usual cafe experience.

If you’re planning a visit, know that Manhattan requires a Coronapas, so it’s keeping with current local health guidelines. The waterpipes come with a range of tobacco options and stylish designs, and while prices lean on the higher side, most find it reasonable considering the overall experience.

This place works well for anyone wanting a casual spot to relax, enjoy flavorful waterpipes, and maybe dive into a game or two with friends. The vibe is more laid-back than formal, so it’s less about quick stops for coffee and more about settling in for a cozy time. Visiting in the early evening or on weekends tends to bring out the livelier mood, reflecting how locals choose to unwind after work or during free time.

Utroligt dejligt sted! Et hav af spil, og lækre ting på menu kortet. Derudover har de, de bedste vandpiber i Århus

En jeg kender kom til skade foran butikken og så snart de fandt ud af det, så kom hende bag kassen ud med vand, servietter og plastre. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse af medmenneskelighed. Jeg ved ikke hvordan resten er, men servicen er ihvertfald i toppen.

Dette sted kræver Coronapas! Vi havde en hyggelig tur gennem Århus by og ledte efter et sted at ryge vandpibe. Vi fandt Manhattan i søgen efter et andet sted og besluttede os for at give det et skud. Der er god service og stemning i deres café, vandpiberne er flotte i design og der er en mindre udvalg af forskellige tobak man kan ryge, Lidt dyrt, men alligevel helt iorden for prisen. Kommer helt klart igen
