The Hotel Skt Petri’s equally stylish in-house bar has gained a loyal following in C[open]hagen’s fashion crowd this year. Bar Rouge is one of a tiny minority of city watering holes to offer table service, and the bar’s capable staff know their way around any cocktail or colada. Other popular features are the bar’s sultry Monday evening tango nights and sets by local DJs on Fridays and Saturdays.

Leopold’s is typical of many in-spots in the city right now—during the late afternoon hours it serves as a café and morphs into a swinging nightclub after dark. The cocktail menu is fair and the drinks are all glibly named. Try the champagne-elderflower concoction Plenty O’Toole. A good spot for sizing up the opposite sex.

This sleek, space-age nightclub tucked away in the Boltens Gård courtyard is technically members and guest-list only, but management has been known to bend the rules for those who call in advance and spend handsomely. The clientele is just what you’d expect from a high-design European nightclub, attracting models, pop stars, high rollers and hangers-on. Mind you, being a VIP doesn’t come cheap—reserving your own table will cost upwards of DKK 3,000 in drinks over the course of an evening.

The austere Chesterfield-style interior of the Plaza Hotel’s bar dates from 1913 and evokes the style of an Edwardian gentlemen’s club complete with fine cognacs and expertly clipped cigars. The level of service befits a members-only club as well, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a classic cocktail that the staff can’t mix.

The Terraneo is the lobby-level bar/restaurant of the harbour-front C[open]hagen Marriott, so the clientele consists predominantly of business travellers. If you’re looking for a place to hob-knob with the locals, the Terraneo isn’t it. The sofas are roomy, the view is spectacular, and the friendly staff are accustomed to serving English-speaking visitors, however, so this is a great place to blow off steam after a stressful conference day. Ask about Friday evening after-work cocktail specials.
