"The Library Bar inside the Copenhagen Plaza hotel, situated next to the Central Station, is more about history, jazz, and wood paneled walls than traditional CPH "cool." Think Chesterfield armchairs, gold-framed oil paintings of nobility, vaulted high ceilings, and you're there-it's more old-fashioned gentlemen's club than funky. Champagne, cognac, whiskey, and cigars are the name of the game, here, although to smoke these days you'll have to brave the weather."
"Champagne, cognac, whiskey, and cigars are the name of the game, here, although to smoke these days you'll have to brave the weather. Exquisite service and cocktails made by refined mixologists in perfectly ironed shirts is on the menu, as are cocktails with names like "Tuxedo" and "Midnight Ranger." There's an in-house jazz band, and the well-known Danish musician Thomas Blachman and his orchestra Ginman/Blachman/Dahl recorded their album At the Plaza - The Library Bar Concerts in the room."
Copenhagen offers a diverse bar scene that spans glitzy hotel drinking dens to clandestine speakeasies. Scandi-minimalist aesthetics often meet maximalist mixology in intimate venues. New speakeasies buzz with locals and tourists, while long-established institutions retain historic charm. The Library Bar at the Copenhagen Plaza emphasizes history, jazz, wood-paneled interiors, and classic spirits, with live music and refined service. Ruby occupies a townhouse setting near parliament and Thorvaldsens museum, boasting a cozy stripped-back decor and deep roots in the city's drinking culture. Cocktails range from traditional to theatrically named creations, served by skilled mixologists.
