DAMO RECOMMENDS: Cocktails, Beers & Bodegas in Copenhagen

Copenhagen’s cocktail scene is fantastic, with countless bars mixing creativity and precision. Here are some of our favorite places to unwind when brewing is done. The beer scene needs no introduction, beyond Mikkeller, a handful of smaller spots are well worth your visit. And if you end up in a bodega, prepare for a Fernet Branca, a cloud of smoke, and a strong detergent recommendation for the next morning.
