Skindbuksen er etableret i 1728 og var oprindelig skænkestue for Grand Café, og hed dengang Café nr. 4 opkaldt efter gadenummeret. Skindbuksen var populær blandt droskekuske, der oprindeligt var iført skindovertræksbukser. Caféen fik derfor i folkemunde navnet “Skindbuksen”, som blev det officielle navn i 1930.
In english
Skindbuksen has been located in Lille Kongensgade 4, at the bottom floor of a building since the construction in 1728. Skindbuksen was originally called “no 4” and later “Droskekælderen” but around 1930 it got its current name. The name is largely due to the fact, that the drivers of those days, often frequented the establishment and as a part of their gear wore leather pants.
(“Skind” is the danish word for leather and “bukser” is the danish word for pants).
