Bo-bi Bar

Pro-tip for visiting Copenhagen: if you wanna drink and wake up with enough money leftover to go drinking again, go to a bodega. Also nicknamed ‘brown bars’, bodegas have been around forever, feature a delightful mix of old timers/weirdos/’cultured’ types, and almost always let you smoke inside. Bo-bi Bar is arguably Copenhagen’s most iconic one: you’ll either feel like you’re back in 1917, when the bar first opened, or like your life has suddenly morphed into a scene from Amélie. It’s also still cheap, which means the place is almost always fully packed—so if you go to Bo-bi and can barely squeeze past the bar, try going to Palæ Bar.
