12/10/2025: Very nice bar with honest service, clean drinks, cocktails and 90's music....
02/10/2025: K-Bar, on Ved Stranden 20, 1061 København, is one of Copenhagen’s longest standing cocktail institutions, with good reason. Founded by Kirsten Holm, it’s often credited with helping elevate the city’s cocktail culture and drink scene.
From the moment you step in, K-Bar strikes a tone that feels intimate, stylish, and relaxed. The space is not large, with fewer than ten bar seats, with a small side lounge and soft, low-slung seating.
The lighting is dim and cozy, with a monochrome décor that keeps the focus on the drinks and the company rather than flashy surroundings. There’s an air of sophistication without being pretentious in any way.
Cocktails are the star here. If you like martinis, you’re in for a treat; K-Bar boasts around 13 variations, including their Monster Martini, which is often recommended. 
The menu mixes classics with creative, infused twists and unexpected flavor combinations, attention to fresh, seasonal ingredients. 
For those not wanting to stick to the menu, the bartenders (Kirsten) are known to be accommodating and inventive to whatever tastes you may have.
The service at K-Bar receives consistently high marks. The bartenders are skilled, friendly, and often happy to chat about a drink you might like or how they put together one you’ve ordered.
 It’s a place where you can linger; many people go intending to have one drink and stay for several; as we did.
On weekends it can get busy (though it never loses its intimate feel entirely), so if you want more space or quiet, off-peak hours are best.
K-Bar is a gem for anyone who appreciates excellent cocktails made with care, and an atmosphere that’s polished yet warming. It’s ideal if you want to slow down, try something special, and enjoy conversation rather than loud crowds. For cocktail lovers, it’s hard to beat in Copenhagen and definitely worth a visit.
They do not have a kitchen, but they do have snack available to buy.
Definitely recommended!
