Duck and Cover

Yes.
In all seriousness if I could leave a one word review, I would just stop now.
Duck and Cover is like escaping the hipstermania of Vesterbro and walking into the 60s. It’s not crowded, it’s not loud, the cocktails are delicious, the service is good, the people aren’t pretentious… basically it’s a cocktail bar without all the things I hate about cocktail bars. #winning

Wow… this place blows Lidkoeb out of the water. Both in terms of drink quality and ambiance/​vibe, duck & cover is superior. In fact, if this place were in LA, it would be my favorite bar in town!
The drinks are stiff and delicious. The vibe is Danish modern living room. Wow what a bar. I can’t wait to go back!

One feels like ducking and covering when entering this dark basement cocktail place (two types of beers, one with alcohol, sorry cocktail haters). I tried the Spritzer with coffee and Aperol, nice and tasty but as always the chaser beer (Mikkeller dream something) was more climactic for me. But worth a visit for the sleek feel of the place and the far from gravity-​defying interior with furniture you just wanna sit low on. You almost wish people’d be smoking cigars in here. Ideal for closing off a million kroner contract with your own very golden pen and a glass of whiskey.

Copenhagens number one cocktail bar must be Duck and Cover. Everything is thought through and there isn’t a thing the bartenders won’t do to make your night extra special. They make all their own recipes and the menu is often changed. The atmosphere is amazing and they always make sure not to let too many ppl inside. I’m definitely a fan and I often pass this little pearl

Can I first start off by saying that the cocktails here are AMAZING. The menu has a variety of delicious creations that change every few months, but if nothing takes your fancy, the awesome bartenders can whip up pretty much anything you ask for.
It’s a 50s or 60s style basement cocktail bar that makes you feel like you belong in an episode of Mad Men. Really chill and cosy but extremely classy. Great for when you’re looking for something more laid-​back, but definitely an experience in itself.
This place gets pretty busy on the weekends, but the owner likes to make sure the atmosphere stays relaxed and the quality of service great, so expect a bit of a wait, even if the bar isn’t completely packed. Otherwise go here on Wednesdays or Thursdays and take your pick of seating. This gem still hasn’t really taken off as an «after-​work» spot, so the bartender will have time to chat and you will really be able to enjoy the environment.
⁵⁄₅ stars and quickly becoming an absolute favorite in Copenhagen!

I came here last night because I was curious what it was all about. The first time I tried to come in with my two girlfriends we could see into the bar that it was not busy, yet the bouncer was a jerk and wouldn’t let us in. Probably trying to make it look cooler than it actually was that night. That knocked it down a star big time.
But on a Wednesday night it’s not too busy and it made me laugh since you feel like you are walking into your cousin’s 70’s style basement with wooden paneled walls and retro furniture. In that way, it is cozy. The bartenders are really great as well as the cocktails. However avoid this place on the weekends so you don’t have to deal with jerk bouncers whose egos ruin the atmosphere.
