SOLFINN DANIELSEN / SOMM, CEO, FOUNDER & JANITOR

» This is how Smørrebrød is supposed to be enjoyed. No frill. Old school bodega style, but no smoking. Just drinking. Filled to the brim with regulars & you go behind the bar, out in the kitchen & serve yourself. Not fancy/good like Selma, Schønnemanns, Møntergade «

NATE FRENCH / SOUS CHEF / NOMA

» As an expat, I'd be remiss to not include a bodega in my top five of CPH. Palæ Bar is not exactly a bodega--there is no smoking inside, but it oozes culture and history. Great spot for a cold pint. «

DANIEL OLSEN / CEO & CO-OWNER / KEYSER SOCIAL

» Probably the most classic Danish place you'll ever find. If you go for lunch, you still go to the bartender who will show you the way to the kitchen, where you pick out your own open sandwiches (smørrebrød). Awesome classic interior and always a good place for a good beer and a shot. And try their cocktail bar right next door as well, top of the Copenhagen cocktail scene. «

TOBIAS HELWEG / CO-OWNER / BOTTEGA ESTADIO

» An old bar in the middle of Copenhagen. Always a good atmosphere and happy faces. Would order an "håndbajer" — or you can say Tuborg. «

EAMONN O'CONNER / OWNER / GRAVENS RAND

» Fantastic little bar in central Copenhagen. Never had a bad night here. Great bartenders and local customers «
