People Like Us Copenhagen
Social activism, craft beer
William from Copenhagen
It's difficult to paint any precise description of what People Like Us is. This particular place is first and foremost, a bar that sells beer. However, that is a gross understatement.
As a matter of fact, People Like Us, is also a brewery, a social enterprise, and a place that enables marginalized social groups to enter the workforce. It all started with frustration, that other social initiatives weren't able to keep a hold of autistic people. Today this enterprise, brewery, and bar, is not only run by people living with autism, it is also run by war veterans suffering from PTSD.
The beer is brewed in Amager and People Like Us also supplies other bars and breweries with employees of socially marginalized backgrounds.
However, the place under the spotlight in this article is the beer bar located in the neighbourhood of Nørrebro. Here you can enjoy all the craft beer made at the brewery. The staff is ever so friendly and helpful and they'll let you taste several samples in order to make the right choice, and trust me there is a lot to choose from.
The atmosphere is informal and laid back. I often go there with my friends who live in Nørrebro. They are big fans and, so I've become one as well. It's simply a place that you'll want to hang out at, several times a week, Monday to Sunday.
It's possible to sit outside, and in the (short) summer, this place is simply wonderful.

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!
