Gilt

One of the coolest cocktail spots I’ve ever been to! Through a dark door lies a dimly lit, cozy lounge for the cocktail enthusiast. Smooth jazz plays just loudly enough to fill the space, but conversations are easily had. For me, this was a solo venture — I love a cocktail, and this bar was the perfect place to cozy up on a comfy couch with a good book and some booze!
The menu was in Danish only but these bartenders known their stuff — they are prepared to advise you based on your tastes. My bartender recommended a twist on an old fashioned, with smoked whiskey and bourbon they had infused with blueberry. A delicious creation, a touch sweet but with a burn from the smoked whisky in the aftertaste. Yum!
Watching them create the cocktails using all their home made infusions is a joy — pull up a bar stool, find a friend (or a novel) and prepare to drink some beautiful cocktails!

Gilt is wonderful because unlike a lot of cocktail bars in Copenhagen, most everyone can feel truly comfortable here. It could be the environment (small, cozy, and dare I say relaxing, even on a weekend night?) or the bartenders (knowledgeable without being pretentious, flexible, friendly) or even the music (vacillating between jazz and more modern R&B), but there is just something charming about the place.
If you need to go somewhere on a Friday evening with a friend or two, or a date, and have an laid-​back, intimate space where you can talk undisturbed — and explore drinks both on and off the menu, go here. I couldn’t help but think how happy I was to be here in this candle-​lit little corner of Nørrebro, drinking a really wonderful old-​fashioned, and not some of these trendier places that are so self-​aware.

Really nice cocktail bar. My wife and I are a bit of old souls, so we went right around its opening time. The outside is purposefully nondescript. It’s painted black, and they put up the awning when they open. My wife and I actually didn’t find it at first, and we debated if it was still open and existed.
It does exist, and we really enjoyed it. In line with almost all of Copenhagen, they like the lighting dim. The décor is really well done, and they seem to do a number of the syrups house – that or they just pour the factory syrups into their own bottles. Either way, drinks are delicious, and if you don’t want to fight the crowd, make it the first stop on your night on the town.

Mit Abstand eine der besten Bars, die ich je betreten habe. Um sie zu finden, bedarf es allerdings ein wenig Geschick und vor allem Information. Versteckt hinter schwarzen Fassaden und ohne offensichtliches Schild, befindet sich hier in Nørrebro eine richtig fantastische Bar. Qualitativ kann sie durchaus mit dem Löwen in Hamburg mithalten. Und dass man nicht ohne Plan reinstolpert haben die beiden Bars ja gemeinsam.
Auf der Karte stehen im regelmäßigen Wechsel zwischen zehn und fünfzehn Cocktails mit unterschiedlichen Zutaten und Alkoholika. Da ist garantiert für jeden etwas dabei!
Bei unserem Besuch war ich ein wenig angeschlagen und überlegte zunächst keinen Drink zu nehmen. Als ich die Frage des Barkeepers nach einem Drink dankend verneinte, bat er an, mir einen Special Drink zu mixen. Nach ein paar Fragen zu meinen Vorlieben und Abneigungen, wusste er genau was er vorhatte und ich war ein wenig verunsichert. Heraus kam jedoch ein fantastischer Cocktail mit Holunderblüte, Ingwer, Apfelsaft und Limette.
Preislich liegen die alkoholischen Cocktails um die 80 — 10 Kronen, mein Nichtalkoholischer kostete lediglich 50 Kronen. Alles in allem eine super gemütliche Bar in Nørrebro mit primär einheimischem, wenn auch durchaus internationem Publikum. Auf Touris werdet ihr hier eher selten treffen. Top!

Very inovative and sophisticated menu in extreme good prises for Copenhagen. People behind the bar know their way around cocktails and will serve you the best.
An extra point to them because they are flexible to also make you something off the menu if the items listed are too funcy for you.
The atmosphere has very plesant and chill. One could tell that it’s a hipsters joint… and I would agree to some extend, but not pretentious us other places I’ve been at.
I look forward to see what are they up to with the next season’s menu!

Bartenders who know their shit! Cocktails in my exact taste, not to experimental not to traditional. New and fresh and something for everyone!
Nice, relaxed and kind of «living room» atmosphere.

Lovely cocktail bar, with a nice and relaxing atmosphere.
Maybe I was lucky, but Hôtel Costes vol.4 was playing in the background at the right volume. What more can you ask for late friday chill cocktail session .
I had my gini-​martini with monkey 47, and it was very good. But served in the wrong glass !
Price is ok, definitely not chea, but not cray either .
Note that during week days it’s not packed, whereas during week end (exp on friday night) is extremely packed. Bartenders are nice and quick but there is not a lot of space to stand and enjoy.
Be back there, sure and pretty soon.

I will preface this with the fact that I’m not a huge cocktail drinker. So with the exception of Raines Law Room in NYC, I don’t generally rave about cocktail bars.
What I really like here is the quieter weekdays when you can sip your unique cocktails in peace. The drinks have nice flavours and I think everyone can find a combination of flavours they like here.
The menu also shows through pictograms the sort of glassware that the drink comes in. And I’ve found that very useful for quick selection when I don’t know what I want. By default the drinks served in tumblers have my preferred flavour and I stay away from the ones served in champagne coupes. Works for me.

Think Mad Men in a mountain cottage — stylish meets classy.
Will make the cliché and say the best cocktail bar in town. Very reasonably priced and with top skilled bartenders. Friendly atmosphere and the bartenders can guide you through what u want if the current menu doesn’t satisfy you. The best thing is you don’t notice it from the street and it’s not pretentious at all– almost like a hidden gem in a multi cultural hip environment. Favourite place in the hood — likely in town.

Hippe Cocktailbar in Kopenhagen. Besonders der Death by Chocolate ist einmalig!

if at all possible, i won’t turn down an invitation to meet at gilt. not solely for the reason that it’s around the corner from my flat, but because it is just an awesome bar. it’s quiet enough to hear your companion but not so quiet that you’ll hear crickets. the drinks are delicious and you can tell there is a good amount of effort put into each of them. the bartenders are not snooty, there is no smoking allowed inside, the menu is seasonal, and the chairs are comfy. need i say more?
