Address
Neighbourhood: Indre By (Inner City)
This is the heart of old town Copenhagen, with its blend of charming old buildings and bold new architecture, broad avenues and tiny streets as well as picturesque canals and a modern harbor. The inner city is home to the Royal Danish Theatre, which consists of three buildings, two of which are new and situated on the harbor front. The streets, squares and venues of the inner city and its surrounding neighborhoods, are alive all year round with everything from jazz festivals to outdoor ice skating rinks and parachuting at the lakes right in the center of the city. This compact area boasts beautiful old castles, tranquil parks, and bustling squares where you can always find a bench to stretch out your legs whenever you need a break.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great drinks with flavors to suit sweet, savory, bitter, and tart. Once you try the menu drinks , turn yourself over to the bar tenders and enjoy something new off menu. Good times meeting the other patrons, felt welcome by the staff, loved the exploration of new flavors.

Hello
My hubby and I can't stop talking about your amazing bar!
We were just blown away by the service as soon as we entered.
We were greeted with a warm, friendly welcome and offered seats at the bar. As we read through the menu, we could not believe some of the ingredients that were listed and could not wait to try a few.
We were not disappointed once!
The complexity of the flavours of each of them was just out of this world! You could taste the passion and care that had been put into them.
We can't wait to return to taste new exciting creations. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

We had such a good experience at Balderdash. If you are looking for something new, that you havent tried before, Balderdash is the place for you. Whether it is flaming cocktails, lavender infused, made with mushrooms or truffles, you can find it here.
Very nice personel as well. Good at recommending something new but within your comfort zone. We also got a round of shots on the house because we were celebrating a birthday! Truly nice people, ready to talk, even when the place looked somewhat busy.
Considering the effort going into the cocktails, I find the price fair. But some may think it expensive at 120-130,- a cocktail.
10/10 would try again.

I popped in to this place for a quick stop en route to dinner. I had seen it on the Phil Rosenthal Netflix show, but that didn't quite do it justice. There were two staff working, both of whom engaged me with enthusiastic conversation. Tatiana(?) and a Swedish woman whose name I didn't get. I was completely blown away by their passion for their work. Tatiana even showed me some a behind the scenes of their works in progress. As an Irishman I have to admire their craft and innovation for alcohol. Some crazy ingredients in the mix! The cocktail I had was delicious and the space itself was comfortable and very chill. Good music too. Shame I couldn't stay all night. A rare treat. I'll definitely make a night of it next time I'm back

We absolutely loved this bar! The bar staff and waiters were brilliant, so funny and really contributed to the experience. We got sat up at the bar which was great. Such a nice cosy vibe but still a lot of atmosphere. The drinks were great too.

A very interesting place - good atmosphere, and incredibly good selection of spirits. I suggest you try the new-ish coffee menu. The Full Metal Jacket is excellent.
Just be a bit careful if you let the bartenders pick your drinks. If in doubt, you seem to end up with an old-fashioned.

The bartenders here are creative geniuses. They will make drinks specialized just for you, depending on what flavours you are in the mood for. They will of course also make regular cocktails based on their menu. The place has a fireplace, making it a warm and cosy atmosphere, as well as a 'secret' room for private events.

Great cocktails. You can order from their inventive menu or just tell the bartender what you like and they will hook you up. Extremely friendly staff, don't miss the chance to sit at the bar and chat with the bartender if you get it.

This place has it all: awesome cocktails, wine, beer but most of all it is a place with the friendliest bartenders and a wonderful atmosphere. Geoffrey, the owner, has succeeded in taking the best from the U.S. and combining it with the old-school Danish charm. I have no doubt this will become a Copenhagen institution for many years to come!
