Gedulgt
A speakeasy behind an unmarked courtyard door on Fredensgade. The menu changes seasonally and emphasizes theatrical presentation, smoking cloches, edible flowers, cocktails served in vintage teacups. Reservations recommended on weekends when the nine-table capacity fills fast. Prices reflect the elaborate preparation, at 100-150 DKK per drink. It has picked up local best-bar awards more than once. Not the place for a casual beer.
