📝 About this place

Kongens Bar at Ny Adelgade 3 in the Inner City is a small, unpretentious bar tucked into the middle of central Copenhagen, and the name is not accidental. The bar is named as a nod to King Frederik X of Denmark, who was inaugurated in January 2024, giving the place a quietly patriotic warmth that suits the venue well. As the bar puts it on its own Facebook page: this is a place where guests talk to each other over a beer, with good music in the background. That is not a marketing line – it is an accurate description. The space is small and intimate, with what guests often describe as a cellar-like ambience that invites people to settle in rather than move on. The interior is modern-classic in style and has been recently renovated. The bar naturally divides into two zones: one where you can follow a football match on screen, and another where the focus is on conversation. Both coexist easily. The description from one review that stuck – a section where you can watch football and another where you can pretend you can't see your team losing out the corner of your eye – captures the tone of the place fairly well. Staff are a recurring positive in guest reviews. Bartenders including Caroline and Agathe are mentioned by name by guests who appreciated being steered toward cocktails and shots they hadn't tried before. The piña colada gets a specific mention, as does a Pernod-based cocktail. Service is described as attentive and fast even when the bar is busy. Prices are generally reported as affordable for central Copenhagen, which helps explain the broad mix of regulars, Danish visitors from outside the city, and tourists who have found the place by recommendation or happy accident. The crowd skews slightly older than the average Indre By bar, but the atmosphere is genuinely inclusive and English-speaking visitors are well received. Opening hours are Tuesday and Wednesday 1:30 PM to midnight, Thursday until 1 AM, Friday and Saturday until 2 AM. Closed Sunday and Monday. With a Google rating of 4.4, Kongens Bar holds its own as one of the more dependable local bars in central Copenhagen.
