Morten
Andersen
Co-founder & Managing Editor
Morten has called Spain home for the past several years, having previously lived in Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Ireland, and Las Vegas — a trajectory that covers both the world's best pubs and its most theatrical cocktail venues. He has an uncompromising eye for service quality and a genuine taste for champagne bars and rooftop terraces.
His European coverage is the most personally vetted content on the site: if a bar in Barcelona, London, Dublin or Copenhagen makes the guide, Morten has sat there long enough to form a real opinion. He covers Southern Europe, the UK and the Nordics with the authority that only comes from living in them.
Morten co-founded barsforKings in 2022 with Fredrik Filipsson and runs the editorial desk day-to-day — commissioning city editors, enforcing the visit-every-bar rule, and personally approving every rooftop and champagne entry on the site.
What Morten writes about.
European cocktail bars
From Barcelona's Gothic quarter to Soho, from Le Marais to Nyhavn — where the craft is real and where the craft is theatre for Instagram.
Champagne bars & rooftop terraces
Pound for pound, champagne bars separate bar cities from tourist cities. Morten writes the definitive European list.
British & Irish pub culture
A real British pub and a themed British pub are two very different things. Morten draws the line.
Nordic & Southern European coverage
Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome. The cities Morten personally edits, venue by venue.
