Stepping into Not Your Usual Wine Bar feels like joining a spirited community centered around exploration—not just of wine, but of conversation, taste, and culture. Located a stone’s throw from Copenhagen’s bustling Rådhuspladsen but tucked onto Lavendelstræde’s quieter stretch, this intimate spot delivers exactly what its name promises. The selection boldly spotlights natural, organic, and biodynamic wines from small European producers, with a rotating list that changes with the seasons and the staff’s latest finds. Don’t expect formality—seating is casual, with a blend of upcycled décor, candles flickering beside mismatched glasses, and handwritten notes describing the day’s discoveries. The staff is famously welcoming, eager to guide guests through the unexpected—perhaps a Georgian orange wine, a wild French pét-nat, or a Danish experimental pour. The atmosphere is perpetually lively, yet never rowdy, making it perfect for solo travelers, date nights, or groups catching up. If hunger strikes, there’s an artisanal snack menu, featuring Scandinavian cheeses, charcuterie, and clever vegetarian nibbles made to pair with your pour. Prices here defy Copenhagen’s reputation for high costs, as glasses start affordably, encouraging wine lovers to sample broadly. The bar hosts regular events—tastings, meet-the-maker evenings, and musical pop-ups—which often draw a blend of local creatives and international visitors.

Whether you’re a lifelong oenophile or simply intrigued by Denmark’s wine scene, this spot invites you to settle in, trust your palate, and savor surprises that genuinely live up to the bar’s name.
