Gedulgt
A speakeasy behind an unmarked courtyard door on Nørre Allé. 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: 100-150 DKK per drink. The bartenders won a Nordic cocktail competition in 2019. Not the place for a casual beer.
