Going out for a few beers is one thing and going out for cocktails is another. There’s something innately glamorous about it, and it’s so exciting to taste new flavour combinations with every glass. We can watch wide-eyed as dry ice laps at the glass or bubbles erupt suddenly on the surface, and Copenhagen is full of amazing mixologists ready to make your night extra-special.
1. MÓSHÙ
📍Lille Kongensgade 8, 1074
This pretty exclusive cocktail bar is well worth visiting. Beautiful and fascinating decor paired with inventive and delicious cocktails makes this place one of the best cocktail bars in the city. There’s an East Asian aesthetic to the place that’s irresistible and this theme is reflected in the tasty food also on offer here. You can book a table on the website.
2. NIMB
📍Bernstorffsgade 5, 1577
This place is 100% magical. Not only is it in Tivoli, the most magical place on Earth, but it sells the most whimsical, fantastical cocktails. They’re inspired by the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen so you can enjoy cocktails inspired by The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, and many more tales. You can read the full menu on the website.
3. 1656
📍Gasværksvej 33, 1656
If you didn’t know that cocktail bar 1656 was at Gasværksvej 33 in Copenhagen, you’d walk straight past it. In fact, as it’s covered in graffiti and lacking any signage, you may walk past even if you know the address. However, it shouldn’t be overlooked because this place has the tastiest cocktails.
4. Curfew
📍Vesterbrogade 20, 1620
This stunning, speakeasy-style bar is owned by Humberto Marques, a well-respected mixologist. It’s spacious, warm, inviting, and full of tempting options to sip. You can read more about it on the website.
5. Ruby
📍Nybrogade 10, 1203
Ruby is legitimately one of the world’s best bars – in 2015 is ranked 35th on the world’s best bars list. It’s not flashy or obnoxious. The decor is simple and the cocktails are concocted thoughtfully, with concern for both the taste and the presentation. It doesn’t get any better than that!
6. The Barking Dog
📍Sankt Hans Gade 19, 2200
This bar has strong pub vibes and that makes us happy, here at Secret København. Their cocktail menu is pretty extensive, but perhaps not as fancy as others. However, what they do, they do well. It’s a super-comfy relaxed environment and one of our favourite places to enjoy whatever they fancy making that day. See the board above the bar for a list of what’s on offer that day. You can read their tempting cocktail menu on the website.
7. Salon 39
📍Vodroffsvej 39, 1900
Salon 39 is a French brasserie with delicious food and irresistible cocktails. Super chic interior aesthetic pairs with perfectly balanced cocktails to create the perfect experience. Give it a try, you won’t regret it! You can book a table on the website.
8. Duck and Cover
📍Dannebrogsgade 6, 1660
Duck and Cover has a kind of warm ambiance that just invites you in, and once you’re in you want to try everything. There’s nothing not to love about this place, and if you wanna start your night off right then you need to start here. Check out their website for more info.
