Our Take

Indre By's World's 50 Best Cocktail Bar

Balderdash is Indre By's most theatrical classical cocktail bar — built around traditional cocktail technique with Nordic ingredients. World's 50 Best Bars regular since 2021. The 36-seat room is dimly lit with leather banquettes and a long marble bar.

The cocktail program is built on classics with strong execution. Bartenders work with hand-cut ice and squeezed-to-order citrus. Reservations recommended for the weekend.

Pair with Ruby for a complete Copenhagen cocktail evening.
