Moody Cocktails in the Heart of Copenhagen

1105 sits just off one of central Copenhagen’s busy arteries, yet once you step inside, the city noise falls away. The room is compact and cocoon-like, with low lighting, black walls and a long, gleaming bar as its focal point. Seating is arranged in small clusters, creating pockets of privacy that suit whispered conversations as well as lively catch‑ups. The bar’s name nods to its street number and postal code, anchoring it firmly in the historic core of Copenhagen. Many guests use it as a polished beginning or end to an evening in the inner city, drawn by a grown‑up feel that is more about crafted drinks and conversation than loud music.

Craft Mixology with a Nordic Accent

1105 is best known for a cocktail list that reads more like a collection of short stories than a simple menu. Each drink tends to come with a short explanation of its inspiration, whether that is a Danish dessert, summer berries, or a twist on a British classic. Seasonal Nordic produce often appears in the glass: think strawberries, rhubarb, blueberries or herbs that mirror the region’s kitchens. Classic techniques underpin the creativity. Clear ice, precise garnishes, and balanced flavours are central, whether you are sipping a reimagined gin and tonic or something more adventurous layered with botanicals, bitters and house‑made syrups. Stronger, spirit‑forward serves sit alongside fresher, fruit‑led options, so it is easy to find something tailored to your palate.

Interior Drama and Intimate Atmosphere

Design plays a key role in the experience at 1105. The contrast between dark furnishings and the warm glow from the back‑bar bottles gives the space a theatrical feel. The long black bar draws the eye, while the bartenders’ white jackets pop crisply against the background, reinforcing the sense of ceremony that comes with each pour. Because the bar is relatively small, it can feel pleasantly buzzy when busy, with the low hum of conversation and the gentle clink of glassware filling the room. The close quarters also mean you can watch the bartenders at work up close, appreciating the care that goes into shaking, stirring and building each drink.

When to Visit and What to Expect

1105 generally opens in the late afternoon or early evening and runs into the night, making it particularly popular from early evening through to the small hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Weeknights tend to be calmer and better suited if you want to talk at length with the bartender about the menu or linger over a second round. Prices are on the higher side by local standards, reflecting the central location and quality of ingredients, but servings are generous and presentation meticulous. Complimentary nibbles may accompany drinks, adding a touch of hospitality that encourages you to settle in for a while.

Planning Your Evening Around 1105

Given the bar’s size, it is wise to arrive close to opening time or later in the evening once the early rush has eased, especially on weekends. Smart‑casual dress fits the setting: you will see everything from neatly dressed couples on a date to small groups in relaxed evening wear. Many visitors pair a visit here with a nearby restaurant or a stroll through the city’s pedestrian streets. Whether you treat it as a pre‑dinner aperitif stop, a destination for a focused cocktail tasting, or a final nightcap before heading back to your hotel, 1105 lends a sense of occasion to an evening in Copenhagen’s inner city.
