Local tips

  • Arrive early in the evening if you prefer a quieter experience and more chance of securing a seat in the compact bar space.
  • Use the bartenders’ expertise: describe flavours you like and let them recommend or adapt cocktails beyond the printed menu.

A sleek cocktail den in the heart of Copenhagen

1105 sits just off one of central Copenhagen’s busy pedestrian arteries, but stepping inside feels like slipping into a private, after-dark hideaway. The name comes from the postal code of its address, Kristen Bernikows Gade 4, a nod to its firmly urban roots. The room is compact and low-lit, designed to draw your eye toward the long bar that dominates the space. Black walls, polished surfaces and a restrained colour palette create an intimate, sophisticated backdrop for conversation. The bar’s size plays into its energy. On quieter evenings it feels almost like a neighbourhood living room with a dress code; on busy nights it becomes a standing-room cocktail spot where people edge in around high tables and the bar counter. There is a hum of music and chatter, but the focus always circles back to what is happening behind the bar.

Cocktails that showcase Nordic flavours

1105 is first and foremost about cocktails, and the menu reads like a curated list rather than an endless catalogue. Classic drinks share space with original creations that lean into Nordic ingredients and Danish culinary traditions. You might find strawberries, blueberries, rhubarb or local herbs woven into recipes, or cocktails inspired by traditional desserts reimagined in liquid form. Drinks are mixed with a meticulous, almost culinary approach: carefully balanced acidity, thoughtful garnishes and glassware that fits the profile of each drink. Expect spirit-forward signatures for seasoned cocktail fans, alongside lighter, fruit-led options that are more approachable. Prices sit at the higher end of the Copenhagen bar scale, but portions are generous and recipes are crafted to be sipped slowly rather than rushed.

Atmosphere, music and city-night rhythm

The interior design deliberately creates a sense of occasion. Dark furnishings absorb the light, while the bar glows as the central stage. Bartenders often work in crisp jackets, reinforcing the impression that this is a place that takes the ritual of a drink seriously. Music tends toward understated house and lounge tracks, supporting the mood without overwhelming conversation. Space is at a premium, especially on weekends, and much of the bar is oriented toward standing rather than lingering at large tables. This layout suits pre-dinner or pre-club cocktails, where guests drift in for a couple of carefully made drinks before heading back into the city’s nightlife. It also makes the energy feel more concentrated, with guests clustered around the bar watching the action.

What to expect from an evening at 1105

Even before you open the menu, the shelves of bottles behind the bar hint at the range on offer: gins, rums, whiskies and liqueurs ready to be tailored into something bespoke. Staff are used to guiding guests, whether you arrive with a favourite classic in mind or only a preference for something “fresh and herbal” or “rich and dessert-like.” It is common to linger at the bar counter, watching the measured shake of tins, the careful zest of citrus and the final precise placement of a garnish. Because the bar is small, it can feel lively and at times intense when full, with people brushing past on their way to and from the bar. Those who prefer a quieter moment often aim for earlier evening hours, when there is more space to settle in and fully appreciate the details in each drink. Either way, 1105 rewards an unhurried pace: it is a place to savour a well-made cocktail and the theatre of its preparation.

Part of Copenhagen’s crafted-drink landscape

Set in the historic centre, 1105 reflects Copenhagen’s broader attention to design and gastronomy, translated into a bar format. It bridges the gap between classic hotel-bar elegance and the more experimental edge of the city’s mixology scene. While there is no kitchen in the traditional sense, the approach to liquids is decidedly culinary, often drawing inspiration from local produce and seasonal shifts. For travellers, it serves as a polished introduction to the city’s love of atmosphere, detail and craftsmanship. Whether used as a stylish starting point before dinner nearby or as a final nightcap spot, 1105 distils a very Copenhagen blend of understated design, serious drinks and relaxed sophistication into a single small, dark room.
