Vesterbro Bar Crawl: 4 Stops, One Evening

This is a working bar crawl through Vesterbro, Copenhagen's most concentrated drinking neighbourhood. Cocktail Copenhagen's heart. Four stops, one evening, mapped by editors who actually drink here on Friday nights.

The order matters. Start polished, peak in the middle, end somewhere quieter. Every room listed below is within a 10-minute walk of the next one — that's the value of a neighbourhood crawl.

Total time: about five hours. Total spend: depends on you, but plan £60-£100 per person. Save this page, send it to whoever you're meeting, and let Vesterbro take care of the rest.
