   Lord Nelson Bar

   Tucked into a narrow cobbled street just off Copenhagen’s busy Strøget, Lord Nelson Bar is a compact, wood-paneled pub with the soul of a neighbourhood living room. Candles flicker on small tables, classic rock hums in the background, and the focus is firmly on Danish craft beer, good conversation, and an unhurried, old-school bar atmosphere that feels a world away from glossy cocktail lounges.
