I really liked the friendliness of this old gin joint. Ok it's not a gin joint nor is it old. It's…read morea modern place that sell gin & many other liquors to both sample & but. But that doesn't scan quite as well does it? Maybe it's the friendliness of the Danish people but you get treated well, without the false feeling that you get in America. This natural friendliness leaves me open to an attractive lady offering me drinks. Don't worry my wife was by my side. So she wasn't attractive enough to cause marriage issues. Until my wife stumbles across this review... Some of the concoctions on sale are made by themselves, some are made by others & rebottled by them. Or some are just drinks that are seemingly rare in this part of the world, but are common to many of us. Either way they sell great grogg with a friendly nature. The aquavit they had was a rare transparent & incredibly smooth blend. That as soon as the first drop hit my tongue I knew I was going to but it. Same goes for the home distilled local liquor that my tried, but whose name evades me at this moment... (it must be the booze) Anyways it was a great place to find & a happy end to a failed search of a seemingly none existent flea market that was supposed to be in the area.

LOVED THIS PLACE! We stumbled upon this store while walking through the food court / shopping area…read more The gentleman who was working there was very kind, and allowed us to do a whiskey tasting of 3 different varieties. He was very educated on his whiskeys, and added to our wonderful experience. Unfortunately, Danish whiskeys are still too young to enjoy, so we sipped on a few imported Scottish and Spanish ones. Fun environment/experience in an indoor market space.

A chic cocktail bar with low benches near the windows, outdoor seating, and a row of bar-stools at…read morethe bar. The cocktail list is good, with inventive drinks. The beer list is very short and included one about 5 bottles (Negro Modelo, Brooklyn Lager and some others I can't recall). Crowd looked mid to late twenties and pretty well dressed. Not a student bar that's for sure. The prices are a little high: cocktails are 80-90 Kr and beers are 45-50 Kr). The low bench seating along the windows looked cozy and comfortable, but it was crowded and I didn't manage to get a seat. There's not a lot of seating. If you're in a large group, you'll have to huddle around one of the high tables scattered around the bar. + cool cocktails + chic decor - prices are on the high end - small beer selection - limited seating

I really like it when you don't have to squeeze with other people or wait for ages at the bar until…read moreyou are noticed! Been there twice. The first time we were lucky to sit on the big sofas of the room at the back. We were given menus, took our order and brought our drinks over at the table. YEEEEEEAH!!! So happy :) The low lighting and the nice cosy music at the background made the atmosphere perfect to lay back and have a conversation while enjoying some fantastic cocktails. The front room has some more light and different seats. There is also a patio outside, with heaters, for those who want to smoke without being separated from their drink! The second time I went there, the room at the back was closed and there were no menus at the bar (just a couple or three at the tables). I guess they are preparing the bar for the summer, probably with an updated menu! Looking forward to go back.

Attention all mezcal and tequila fans in Denmark! You HAVE to come to Shoppen! Of course they have…read moreother high quality spirits but this is THE place to do your mezcal and tequila shopping. I first visited Shoppen last year when I wanted to get my mezcal-loving husband a birthday gift. I did a little research before I went to the store but was still overwhelmed by their selection. The gentleman working there was incredibly helpful and tried his best to recommend something in my price range. I ended up getting a sample pack of mezcals that Shoppen makes themselves and had a very happy husband. Fast forward to today, I finally got around to re-visiting Shoppen but this time with my husband in tow. Again, the gentleman working there (different from last time) was incredibly helpful and really knew his stuff. He even let my husband try a little sample before purchasing. I have to note that I have not checked out their beer section nor their other spirits, but from a glance, their selection seems to also be pretty extensive. This place is serious when it comes to spirits but they aren't pretentious. They aren't cheap either but again, they hand select (and even import themselves) each and every item in their store, so you will for sure be getting top quality stuff. Definitely would recommend and will return again!
