15 Best Bars in Copenhagen

"Adjacent to the buzzing Kongens Nytorv square is Brønnum, a hushed, historic retreat—the perfect post-sightseeing reprieve. Specializing in Champagne, along with a well-edited list of wine and cocktails and late-afternoon live jazz performances, the bar is a splendorous maze of rooms with ornate wood carvings, soaring windows, and plush seating. The building itself has a rich history; a bar, restaurant, or café for more than 125 years, it has attracted a slew of notable Danish personalities through the years, including author Hans Christian Andersen." - Alia Akkam

Brønnum consistently serves up delicious cocktails in a stylish setting. This time I tried the yuzu-based cocktail called Shibuya and it was absolutely fantastic. I could easily drink those all night. We sat outside to enjoy the warm weather, but the interior is also lovely and cosy during winter.

We visited on a Saturday Evening for drinks only. A very swanky bar with a selection of high-end cocktails at around £15 each. Definitely one of the more expensive options in Copenhagen, but an interesting and historical place to visit, once frequented by H.C Andersen.

Great bar, great drinks and a great bartender tonight. Read some review here about the ice:cocktail ratio and the thing is that a cocktail can reach a temperature of -3 degrees which essentially means that any ice that is touching the cocktail will give you less dilution over time. Cocktails are on a specific ratio and ingredients are measured, so you’re not getting cheated… i realize I’m paying a lot of attention to one review that I read. But yeah, seems like the knowledge needs to be spread ✌️

Another fantastic Cocktail Bar in Copenhagen. Excellent service. Well made cocktails in a lively friendly environment, where they try not to pack in the people. So it remains busy, lively but not overly crowded. I'd recommend to book a place here if you are going and especially if you are more than a couple. Though on a Friday the host was incredibly accommodating and managed to find our group of 8 a nice table fairly quickly. A great experience in Copenhagen if you are into Cocktail Bars and great Cocktails!

The kind of place where you pay for a drink + tips, and they insult you to your face. The drink cannot be made, but you are conveniently told after you paid and gave tips. When you mention you paid, and are confused, they insult you by saying “i know you paid” and giving you attitude. Then suddenly you drink appear, maybe with a cheap liquor? I will never know because the staff disapear as fast as possible before you talk to them.

Couldn't drink cocktails as they were so sweet (neither myself and my guest). Our bottle of waster was laced with alcohol - gave me an incredible shock when I downed a glass (to try & wash away the sickly cocktail). Waitress agreed it smelled of alcohol (gin?) but no explanation of how that had happened. Extremely over priced, even for Copenhagen standards.

Always in search of nice cocktail bars and Brønnum hit the mark. Nice bar and cool vibe. Attentive and quality mixologist/bartender. Giant block ice in my glass. Love that. Give it a try.

I came here with local friends one evening. We sat outside because the weather was nice, although the vibe inside is different and would have also been pleasant. There are a variety of cocktails, from classics to custom creations. I thought my gin and elderflower drink was quite nice, although not anything exceptional. The staff were good about making recommendations as well. Not sure I felt the drinks justified the price--there are quite a few other equally nice options in Copenhagen.

I live in a city with extremely good cocktails, so when I travel, I try to manage my expectations, even at fancy bars. I guess this was unnecessary in Copenhagen. Brønnum would be a standout cocktail joint anywhere in the world. We'd be lucky to have this place in Los Angeles. My husband Matt B. and I walked in after dinner a few weeks back, at around eleven o'clock on a Monday night. The bar was attractive and spacious, with plentiful seating in at least two large rooms. It was also empty when we arrived, though it got slightly busier around midnight, with like five more people joining the party. We seated ourselves in an interior room with ornate chandeliers and walls painted to look like a clouded sky (and because this was a cool bar in Copenhagen, the paint job was somehow not cheesy). We were entirely alone, aside from a server, who came to take our order then returned with our drinks. It felt kind of awkward in there, so we decided to take our cocktails and sidle up to the bar, where we ended up chatting with the friendly French bartender. We had a great time hanging at the bar, not least because the bartender kept giving us free drinks. He poured everyone shots of Fernet Branca at midnight, then made us a Hanky Panky so we could try Fernet in a cocktail. All of our drinks were excellent. There was a short cocktail list, which we ordered from for our first round. I got the Punch of the Indies, made with Mount Gay Black Barrel rum, Wray & Nephew rum, Clairin Rhum Vaval, Batavia Arrack, Taffel Akvavit, Pastis Ricard, and spiced and clarified milk sherbet. It was a lovely punch, strong and silky rich, with a pleasant sweetness. Matt had The 3 Methusalem, a boozy sipper of Monkey Shoulder whiskey, 30 year-old Methusalem sherry, Schumacher's walnut brandy, cane sugar, and Aztec bitters. Our bartender was perfectly happy to make any cocktail, it seemed. That Hanky Panky was great, a classic I'd never had before, with gin, sweet vermouth, and Fernet. We also enjoyed the house Manhattan, which he made with Maraschino liqueur. We had a wonderful time at Brønnum and would recommend it to anyone looking for well crafted cocktails in Copenhagen. We went to Ruby the next night, which is part of the same family of bars, and were considerably less impressed. Maybe Brønnum just has the best bartender. He certainly won us over. If we'd stayed in town any longer, we would've come right back for more leisurely drinking.

Wound up here late night after dinner at Noma. I was with my boyfriend and two folks we befriended at dinner. Our host at the restaurant recommended it as a solid place to get cocktails. The spirits selection was great and their options for specialty cocktails as well as non-alcoholic drinks were solid. We shared a round of aquavit to celebrate being in Denmark then each ordered different specialty drinks. One of our new friends ordered a drink that came with a side of sugar snap peas (the "Give Sweet Peas a Chance") while my boyfriend and I ordered the "Mexican Detour". The bar itself was comfortable and spacious, with lots of roomy booths and divided in such a way that noise really didn't travel. Of course, since we arrived close to midnight on a Tuesday evening, there were very few people there besides us. With the currency conversion, this place wound up being quite expensive. But the space, the drinks, and our server were all lovely.

Bronnum is expensive but the bar is gorgeous and the drinks are delicious and perfectly balanced. This is a great spot for a date, a special night out, or if you just want to try yummy drinks that are refined and innovative.

I don't drink a lot of cocktails, but when I do, I'd rather go to a fancy place with the proper amount of high-quality alcohol in my drinks, thank you (instead of those places that I'm pretty sure you know what I mean). Neighbour to the Royal Theatre, this place is located in an equally pompous building as the Royal Theatre. Upon arrival, you could see that it's a very "hyggelig" place with lots of good seating and not too crowded area. The inside decor is beautiful and the music is just right, not too loud. I can see the crowds are more of the adults instead of noisy young clientele which is perfect for me. The only thing that I have a problem was the lack of light. Maybe I'm getting old or that my eyes were super sensitive to lights after being operated on, but we needed to have iPhone flashlight just to read the drinks menu (haha). If you don't find your favourite drink in the menu, fret not - ask and you will get. The bartender is fluent in the usual popular drink menu. My "old fashioned" was good as far as I could testify. I'm a beer drinker, but I might consider coming here once in awhile for a good cocktail. With a price of 130 kr per drink, it's really ok :)

Ruby's sister bar. Great location, and yet another great drinks list. What I love about Brønnum (and Ruby's) is that the drinks list is good, but you are by no means limited by it. Ask the bartender to mix something based on YOUR preferred alcohol (and/or liqour) and you'll get a marvellous concoction. And if they don't have that specific whiskey, gin etc. you're craving, they'll immediately present you with an alternative. Great staff with a great attitude. So, if you're craving a really good drink, you should definitely stop by.

Great cocktails, first of all. Very cozy and sexy vibe inside. They have outdoor courtyard seating too, with sofas and great ambient lighting. This spot is ok for trendy-casual, but I like to go here when I'm dressed up juuuust a scooch (unusual for me). Was my favorite cocktail stop in Copenhagen.

I have to give it to the guys behind Lidkoeb and Ruby...they know how to make a great cocktial bar, and this is no exception. The address is perfect next to the Royal Theatre with a gorgeous historic inside, decorated with authentic vintage wood carvings, old chamdeliers and wall murals that were most likely part of the original decor. It is spacious without feeling over crowded. With 2 separate bars, there is space for everyone. We were promptly greeted upon walknig in and were seated at a ncie table. The menu is filled with a diverse list of cocktials from the obscure to the basic, like an irish Coffee, but with an added touch of licorice foam. We ordered the Peach cocktail that is meant to be shared between 4 people and it was served with small unripde green peaches as a garnish. But I have to say, the outdoor courtyard is my favorite. Have a look, and I believe this will quickly be on your lsit of new cocktail bars to try when the long nights start to approach!

Wonderfully atmospheric, great cocktails. Bring a fat wallet though. Copenhagen ain't cheap!
