2 listening bars in Copenhagen our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Copenhagen nightlife.
Bird ★ 4.6
frederiksberg · Gammel Kongevej 102, 1850 Frederiksberg C
Bird on Gammel Kongevej runs as Frederiksberg's reference vinyl bar, a small Nordic-wood room where jazz from the turntable sets the volume, with cocktails poured to match the record on the deck.
Tip: Records are loaded one side at a time at low volume; conversation drops with the needle. Walk-in only, small room.
Brønnum ★ 4.4
indre-by · August Bournonvilles Passage 1, 1055 København K
Brønnum sits in the August Bournonvilles Passage by the Royal Theatre, an old-school cocktail house in a 125-year-old building, six rooms ensuite that grow darker toward the back with a tuned sound system.
Tip: Walk through the rooms from light to dark; the rear salon is the quiet seat. Closed Sundays; weekday nights run earlier than the door suggests.
