We weren't blown away by this place. The drinks we ordered weren't that I great. I ordered the rye or dye, and I wanted it to be more sour. I tried the drink my spouse had, and it tasted watered down. The place really emphasized form over function. Some people try to be hipsters really hard, but other people are hipsters just because of who they are. This place is the former; it just tries too hard to be quirky. Even on the menu, where fancier and hipstery places will list what the drink has, this bar sort of hinted at the ingredients. Not ideal when you know what you're looking for or what you like. read more

Cocktail bar with a very nice atmosphere and a mysterious drinks menu that changes regularly. The menu tells a story for each cocktail but does not fully reveal what it contains, so you're always in for a little surprise. The cocktails are however of high quality, so at least I haven't been disappointed, only pleasantly surprised. One thing that makes this place stand out from the rest is the service. It seemed like the guys really enjoy their work and they were very genuine and helpful. Wish there were more places like this! read more

Such a great find in Copenhagen!! This place is a little off the beaten path, but definitely worth it. The drinks, although a little expensive, were delicious. If you like mescal or tequila, this is your place! Everything was expertly concocted and the bartender was more than happy to talk us through the hilarious menu (for reference, each drink is paired with a funny description.) The decor was also very warm and cozy, on top of being quite hip and trendy! We will be back!! read more

Wonderful place to chill and chat before a big culinary adventure. The bar was super friendly- from the lovely Swedish couple from Malmö, sitting beside us, to the charming and attentive Brit bartender. We also managed to score an invite to another hot bar in Copenhagen because I apologized for bumping into its manager. Love Copenhagen! read more

The Barking Dog - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Thank you Yelp for helping us come up with these as a pre-dinner stop for a cocktail while visiting Copenhagen. We showed up around 6:00 on a Monday evening and it was pretty quiet. There were a few folks sitting at the bar but otherwise the collection of seating areas were completely empty. This is a good place to bring a small group (no more than 4-6 people) and catch up over conversation. There is music playing in background but it's not overpowering. The bartender was quite friendly and offered to help us with suggestions as we reviewed the menu and struggled to make choices. Some of the cocktail names are quite amusing. Ultimately, we made our decisions and a few minutes later some lovely drinks were placed in front of us. I opted for the Tree Hugger, which was delicious and as the name suggests had a piney taste to it. As we settled up with the bartender to make our way to dinner, we noticed that he was changing the music. Turns out all the music is played on a record player. Been a while since you've seen that, right? Hipster? Yes. But as someone who had a record player as a kid, I definitely appreciated it. Come in for great cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere to hang out. read more

Unlike my other English speaking reviews buddies below (shout out!), I came to this cocktail bar and drank wine. So even though I took a lovely picture of a cocktail while in there, I really can't say much about its potency, flavor, or quality. I will say, however, that my glass of Syrah was exactly what I expected it would be, so no disappointments there. The ambiance in the bar is actually really great and I could imagine hanging there for a while with some good people and good conversation when the budget allows. The lighting is good, the bar is fascinating (cool lighting - yes, I am easily entertained), the clientele are diverse, the the bartenders are a friendly and chipper bunch. Overall the mood here is relaxed and easy-going and I guess the idea is to serve what normally might be considered a pretentious adult beverage (cocktails) in an unpretentious environment (pub). read more

They figured it out here. Cocktailbars does not have to be pretentious and forced Their white russian comes with coco pops on top read more

Amazing atmosphere! very good music played with LP's. Love the logo of their beer! but the best thing you can order in this bar is MESCAL! They are experts on Mescal and you will be able to try some of the finest mescals from Mexico. Ask the waiters to tell you more about the origin of the Mescal you are drinking and ask them to show you the bottle, you will see that all the bottles are from very small productions and the date of production is written by hand, that says a lot about the authenticity of such beverage. If you are curious about it, the waiter will explain you anything you want, they all know what they are talking about and they all like to explain the little stories behind each bottle. Forget about tequila and give it a try for the Mescal! you won't regret it read more

It's called SERVICE! It's so hard to find good help these days.. unless you are at the Barking Dog! My first time here was around 7:30 on a Saturday night so it was almost at full capacity. A handsome gent came up and suggested a high table in the far room, but warned us that the group already sitting in the area there was pretty loud. He offered to squeeze us in to a low table with some other patrons but we opted for the seats by the loud table. As soon as we hung up our coats, there was water on our table and two drink menus. Inspired by the loud group, which was apparently in the middle of an enthusiastic pakkeleg, I wanted a Christmas beer. It ended up being an English Pale Ale called Reindeer Droppings. Thankfully it didn't taste as one would imagine, but it was not that great either. Eventually the loud group left, leaving a trail of crumpled wrapping paper and even some forgotten gifts in their wake. Three bartenders came out of nowhere and righted the area in 2 minutes flat. They even offered us a box of Anthon Berg chocolates that was left behind (which we politely declined). Although I wasn't happy with the beer, I will definitely be back to try the cocktails at this cozy bar with great service. read more

This place is a great combination of service, character and good cocktails! We came and sat outside and the minute we came, a girl greeted us and brought us water. The cocktails change theme every month, and this time it was Mexican and tequila based drinks. I had one of the best margaritas I have had in Copenhagen while my friends each had an equally impressive cocktail. The inside is very cozy and very Nørrebro. This is the neighborhood cocktail bar that has a laid back vibe and something for everyone. On the way put they gave us all a free ginger shot just because. I have found my new favorite place in Nørrebronx! read more

Came here for the cocktails but they're kind of steep, so I vowed for the accountant instead. It's a mix of lime with apple juice and ginger beer. I also got the polish which was sausages, pickles and chips. Drinks aren't really worth it but the atmosphere is amazing! Den er hyggelidt! It has a hip, trendy and retro vibe. Great decor, its also the first bar I've been to with a server that doesn't work only behind the bar. read more

Been here few times as it's within the area I live in. It's a good place for cocktails as they have a variety of them and they also have their own beer for beer lovers to try.. The cocktails are not the cheapest but they are quite good. However seems like this place did never win my heart and if there is another option around to go to I would probably not stick to this one. The place is quite small and few stairs below ground level so in summer nights you feel kind of locked in. On the other hand in winter time it's cosy and warm. So all in all a place I will probably visit again but won't become one of my favourites! read more

Decent cocktails, nice friendly French staff. The only down side is that this place closes at 2am! This is a great place for a few friends for a cozy night with some nice conversations, this place is way too small for big groups! Four stars for customer service and decent cocktails. read more

Really good cocktails. I tried one that was recomended to me by the bartender that included mezcal and loved it!

This is a cool cocktail joint. It has the right vibe, the cool bartenders, hip crowd and good cocktail list but I didn't leave impressed. Maybe I'm spoiled by NY but I think the mixology could get better. Drinks were underwhelming and not well balanced. read more

Fun place. They made a good aviation, blood and sand, and the white Russian with coco puffs was entertaining. Good service as well.

Fun interesting cocktails and a nice, hip crowd. Server was strangely sarcastic when asked for drink recommendations, but overall experience was fun. Nice cocktails and atmosphere, though the drinks do not seem super strong. read more

A fun little neighborhood place with some creative cocktails. Won't change your life, but a fun place to meet a friend on a Friday night.

A very nice place! Very Cosy! There is plenty of different coktails for all tastes! The staff is very welcoming and thoughtfull! They make you at ease I really recommand this place during the week as the week ends :) read more

We visited Barking Dog with my couple of friends to celebrate birthday. We were asked to leave once the bartender found out we were there to celebrate. We were told it was rude of us not to call them in advance to inform them we are coming and that they only provide a certain quality of service which they couldn't provide because we were too many (10 people in a bar that was half empty as it was a weekday..). We were a group of civilized people in their 30ties, not going to get drunk and we would certainly mind waiting a few more minutes for a cocktail or beer. The bartenders did not take any of our suggestion into consideration and were insisting on us leaving, the whole situation was very awkward and sad, as we were hoping for a cosy evening and instead were treated almost like criminals. Never more, Barking Dog! read more
