The Most Happening Bar in Copenhagen, Flames Included

February 19, 2014

Copenhagen night-life impresario Rasmus Shepherd-Lomborg recently unveiled Lidkoeb, a bar that spans three floors of an 18th-century apothecary brick building, with original wooden beams and thick walls in place. Tucked inside a courtyard off Vesterbrogade, Lidkoeb is kitted out with Bí¸rge Mogensen’s midcentury Danish leather seating, a private smoking balcony, and a stage large enough to fit a piano and a small jazzband. When in Copenhagen, it’ll be one of our first stops.
