Ørsted Ølbar Copenhagen
Microbrew heaven
David from Copenhagen
Next to one of the best, but often forgotten parks in central Copenhagen, lies Ørsted Ølbar. Named after the Ørstedsparken park, Ørsted Ølbar has one of the city's greatest all-round selections of beer. There are many beer bars in Copenhagen. Some specialize in Belgian beers, some in British and some in American and Danish microbrews. But Ørsted Ølbar can do a little of everything.
Here you can find everything from Danish microbrews to Italian sour ales and all the classics in between. Sporting around 200 different beers, with a good selection on tap, Ørsted Ølbar is sure to satisfy your every beer need. They even have their own house brew, a Kölsch named Beerdog brewed by local microbrewery Amager Bryghus.
Some of the Copenhagen beer bars have a tendency to be quite snooty at times, but at Ørsted there is none of that. You'll get good guidance from the knowledgeable staff but you're free to drink whatever you like, either cheap and simple or expensive and exclusive. Attributing to the relaxed atmosphere is the foosball table and TVs showing football/soccer games. And of course a couple of seats outside.
So basically you can summarize Ørsted as a great local bar, with good people, great staff, football on TV and a lot of great beer. What's not to like?
Ørsted also have a sister bar "Søernes Ølbar", right on the lakes at Sortedam Dossering 83.

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!

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.

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!

Falafel Factory
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!
