Gorki Café-Bar Copenhagen

Eastern Europe in Copenhagen

""Gorki Café-Bar" in Copenhagen is a bar that has a thing for Eastern European beers, vodka and drinks. It's small, cozy and always has some special event!"

There are many Eastern European people living in Copenhagen. Every nationality in north-eastern Europe is represented here; they have either come to work or to study. But whenever you go to another country, many people including myself are missing some specific things from back home. In many cases you're missing that special brand of beer or that special brand of spirit from your home country. 

Here in Copenhagen we have a place where all Eastern Europeans can go and get a bit nostalgic for a while and most certainly find a specific brand from the country in which they were born. 

Gorki Café-Bar is the name of this place and it is situated in Nansensgade near the lakes and not too far from the inner city of Copenhagen. Gorki Café-Bar is a small and cozy place offering a wide range of beers and spirits from the Baltic states, Poland down to central Europe and the Balkan peninsula. They always have special events, I have for example been to Gorki Café-Bar for the Estonian Independence Day one time. 

A wonderful place that offers something very different.

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.

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

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!

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!
