Local tips
- Dress smart-casual at minimum; the setting leans elegant and many guests treat it as a special-occasion venue.
- Consider sharing a bottle of Champagne rather than ordering by the glass for better value from the extensive list.
- Arrive earlier in the evening on Fridays and Saturdays if you prefer a seated spot before the DJ set picks up.
- Pair your drinks with oysters or caviar to experience the bar’s Champagne-focused food matching at its best.
- If you have a specific Champagne house in mind, ask staff; the cellar is broad and some bottles may not be on the by-the-glass list.

Discover more about Balthazar
A glittering hideaway off Kongens Nytorv
Balthazar sits just off the bustle of Kongens Nytorv, folded into the historic Hotel d’Angleterre on Ny Østergade. Step through the discreet entrance and the city noise fades, replaced by a soft hum of conversation, clinking flutes and a warm amber glow. The space is intimate rather than sprawling, with the feeling of a chic living room crossed with a Parisian salon. It is very much a bar with a sense of occasion: people tend to dress up, meet for celebrations, or mark the start and end of an elegant evening here. The location, in the heart of the Indre By district, makes Balthazar a natural pivot point between shopping streets, theatres and fine-dining restaurants. Yet once inside, the outside world feels pleasantly distant, as if you have slipped into a self-contained bubble of polished service and soft soundscapes.Champagne at the centre of everything
True to its name, Balthazar is first and foremost about Champagne. The list runs to around 200 bottles from more than 40 houses, spanning grandes marques, grower producers and prestige cuvées. You can explore classic brut, delicate rosé, richer vintages or something more experimental by the glass or by the bottle, with staff ready to steer you toward a style that suits your mood. The menu broadens out to sparkling wines and a full cocktail programme. Many drinks weave Champagne into inventive serves, while others spotlight fine spirits, from crisp gin martinis to dark, aromatic rum and whisky creations. Light bites are deliberately indulgent: think caviar, oysters, refined canapés and small plates designed to complement the bubbles rather than overshadow them.Velvet, glow and a soundtrack of DJs
Design plays a major role in Balthazar’s character. Rich velvet upholstery, polished wood, marble-topped tables and soft pools of lamplight create a room that feels both glamorous and comfortable. Francophile touches abound, from mirrors and metallic accents to subtle artwork that nods to classic European café society. Despite the luxury hotel address, the bar aims for a relaxed sophistication rather than stiffness. On weekends a DJ settles into the corner, with a playlist that leans toward lounge, soulful house and understated electronic beats. The sound system has been carefully tuned to fill the room without drowning conversation, keeping the energy lively while still letting you talk across a candlelit table. Earlier in the evening it feels like a chic lounge; as the night goes on, the tempo and volume gently rise.How to make the most of a night at Balthazar
Most visitors come either for a pre-theatre or pre-dinner glass, or for a lingering late-night session. Early evening is ideal if you want to focus on the wine list and enjoy the interior in a calmer atmosphere. Later at night, particularly Fridays and Saturdays, the bar takes on more of a party sheen as groups gather, bottles are shared and the DJ leans into a more upbeat set. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, with staff ready to explain the differences between cuvées or suggest a cocktail based on your preferences. Prices reflect the setting and selection: this is decidedly a high-end bar, so it works best when you lean into the indulgence, perhaps sharing a bottle and a few plates rather than treating it as a quick pit stop.Events, pairings and sparkling occasions
Beyond its nightly routine, Balthazar regularly acts as a stage for special happenings. Guest chefs sometimes collaborate on hors d’oeuvres to pair with selected Champagnes, while visiting winemakers, mixologists and DJs bring fresh perspectives to the bar’s core identity. These evenings might focus on a particular Champagne house, style or region, or on a themed cocktail list created just for the night. Whether you drop in for a single impeccably chilled glass or settle into a sofa for hours, the constant thread is celebration. Birthdays, romantic milestones, business deals and spontaneous toasts all feel at home here. Balthazar is less about discovery of a hidden local haunt and more about stepping knowingly into one of Copenhagen’s most polished, urban-luxe drinking rooms, where the pop of a cork is the unofficial soundtrack.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
