Brass Monkey Copenhagen

Bringing Tiki back!

David from Copenhagen

I am a Copenhagen native. Or as close to one as possible: I grew up in a neighboring suburb but went to high school in downtown Copenhagen. I have been living in the cozy Frederiksberg neighborhood since 2002. When not enjoying great food, fabulous drinks and good company, I work as a Project Manager for a large shipping company. I love hanging out in the different areas ...
""Brass Monkey" Copenhagen is like getting a blast from the past, what was formerly a shoe sore, now turned into a Tiki-Bar crafting fresh juices..."

Housed in an old Poulaine shoe store, Brass Monkey is a blast from the past. Back in the 1940s Don The Beachcomber, the worlds first Tiki-bar opened up in Hollywood. Brass Monkey in Vesterbro, is trying to bring back the celebration of Polynesian culture and fruity rum-based drinks.

Tiki-drinks are made with lots of fresh juices and flavors like pineapple and banana. Drinks are served in traditional porcelain Tiki Mugs and served with loads of rum. Brass Monkey boasts the largest selection of rum in Scandinavia.

Opened by the crew behind the best classical cocktail bar in Copenhagen (Check the Salon 39 article), Brass Monkey aims to continue the traditions of classical bartending - impeccable service, a little bit of showmanship and honest great tasting drinks - that has rendered Salon 39 so successful.

Brass Monkey is dark and decorated with wood carvings and palm trees. The bartenders wear Aloha Shirts and don't be surprised if you get a Lei hung around your neck when you enter.

One of my favorite things to do is get a Volcano - a big tub of tiki-licious cocktail for 4-5 people served with 5 extra long straws. You can't really be sparse with the alcohol in Tikis. Maybe that's the reason that I've never had a boring night out at Brass Monkey. Or maybe it's because you never know when they'll break out the Limbo stick at Brass Monkey!

I am a Copenhagen native. Or as close to one as possible: I grew up in a neighboring suburb but went to high school in downtown Copenhagen. I have been living in the cozy Frederiksberg neighborhood since 2002. When not enjoying great food, fabulous drinks and good company, I work as a Project Manager for a large shipping company. I love hanging out in the different areas of the city, either in places I know and love or exploring remote deserted places like old harbor areas. I love photographing street life, food and anything else interesting I encounter. ...

Dansekapellet

Dancing at the old crematorium

Svanemølle-molen

Best pier in town

Even when the temperature descends to freezing, you’ll still see folks making use of the space, many just walking to the tip and enjoying the view.

Café Lindevang

Tradition since 1938

You come for the tradition and the ambience, but just as importantly, you come for the good food. Nothing too fancy, but hearty and delicious.

Biblioteket Rentemestervej

Not just a library

So go wander amongst the students engaged in discussions, people meeting for language exchange and remember to notice the local art decorating the walls.

Lersøparken

Plenty of space

What's especially great about this patch of nature is the huge grass lawn. A lot of people come here to play soccer, frisbee or to walk their dogs.
