1105 Copenhagen
Classic cocktails
In downtown Copenhagen between shops and busy offices you'll find one of my favorite cocktail bars: 1105 (named after the zip code). An English expat and longtime Copenhagen bartender started 1105 some years ago and it became an instant hit on the Copenhagen cocktail-scene.
The room is black with a big black long bar, a few black couches and black walls. The bartenders are a shining contrast with crisp white lab coats and the colorful drinks they produce at the bar. There is ample space to hang at the bar and plenty of standing room on busy nights.
The focus at 1105 is classical cocktails but with a modern twist. This is best exemplified by the head bartender being Hardeep Rehal, two-time Danish Bartender of the year. You shouldn't miss his infamous Cucumber Yum-Yum, a pink concoction of gin, aquavit mixed with raspberries, honey and of course cucumber. It's one of my favorite cocktails.
The crowd is in their 30s, well-dressed and well off, but 1105 manages to keep a good atmosphere where having fun and high quality drinks comes before social ranks. A DJ plays R&B on weekends.
The 1105 has a little brother called 1656 at Gasværksvej in Vesterbro.

Tutten
As Danish as it gets
"Tutten" in Copenhagen has probably the best smørrebrød in town. Some of the city's restaurants are good but nothing comes close. A truly Danish experience

Prag
Add glamour to your life
"Prag" Copenhagen is a shop where you can get custom-made jewellery and second-hand clothes, but it's my favorite place to shop for tights!

Bo-bi Bar
Beers and hard boiled eggs
"Bo-bi Bar" is allegedly Copenhagen's oldest brown bar. Everything about it feels authentic. I like their old tradition of serving hardboiled eggs...

Amager Records
Music on vinyl
"Amager Records" is my favorite record store on my island in Copenhagen. Small and cramped as it should be, the super-helpful owners are also jazz fans!

Fermentoren
Basement beers
"Fermentoren" Copenhagen is 'a nice bar with great beers!' Actually, this one's probably one of the best bar of them all... Protip: taste before you buy!

Kahyt og Kaffe
The floating café
"Kahyt og Kaffe" is an old floating cafe in Copenhagen. If the weather is nice, you can sit out on the deck. If not, don't hesitate to visit anyway.

Falafel in a new way

The Moose
Always a good visit
"The Moose" is a bar where no one takes anything too seriously. I always find it's a friendly bar with a rough attitude, so go drink yourself silly!
