Dagmar Cinema Copenhagen

A cinema from another era

Penelope from Copenhagen

"Dagmar Teatret in Copenhagen offers a luxurious cinema experience with velvet curtains, cozy armchairs, and a romantic café bar with live jazz. A true gem!"

Dagmar Teatret, as it is called in Danish, it is one of the most artistic and prestigious movie theaters in the city. Right by the City Hall, and part of the Nordisk film chain, Dagmar’s main theater is beyond your best dreams, especially the lux armchairs with your own table and light, the huge high-quality screen and the heavy, red velvet theater curtain.

Besides that, though, it is home to a romantic café bar from another era, with a piano free for anyone to play and jazz music always playing in the background. Bonus: if you visit the toilets, you will see a mini exhibition with Dagmar’s history from the opening to today!

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

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!

Mojo Blues Bar

Got the blues?

"Mojo" in Copenhagen is one of my favorite places for a late-night blues gig. It's a truly perfect old-school funky bar with an attitude, and it's tiny!
