Subterranean cocktail bar tucked into a 19th-century townhouse near Gammel Strand. Widely considered the best cocktail bar in Scandinavia — the kind of place that earns that title by never needing to say it. Two intimate rooms downstairs with low ceilings and candlelight create an atmosphere that feels both deliberate and effortless. The bartenders here have trained across Europe and it shows in every detail, from the ice programme to the garnish work. Indre By at its most refined.
