Budget & Tips

Draught beer is the cheapest alcoholic beverage and can be found everywhere in Copenhagen, the most popular being Carlsberg or Tuborg. In Copenhagen, a draught costs an average of DKK 50. This is 34% more expensive than in France. For a cocktail, expect to pay 90 to 120 DKK; a coffee 36 DKK. The cheapest solution is to take advantage ofhappy hour. Okay, it's sometimes a bit early, between 4 and 6pm, but some places start between 8 and 9pm and run until midnight!

Age restrictions

You must be 18 to buy alcoholic beverages in bars and nightclubs. Minors are allowed to visit restaurants unaccompanied by their parents or guardians (http://www.protection-of-minors.eu/fr/country/DK).

In Denmark, excessive alcohol consumption among young people is a real problem. It seems that 15-17 year-olds are the heaviest drinkers in Europe in this age group. One of the main reasons for this is the easy access to alcohol from the age of 16. Drinking is part of Danish culture and part of high-school social relations. Examples abound. Every year, they get together near Copenhagen to celebrate the start of the new school year, which is an occasion for heavy drinking. On their Blå mandag confirmation day, young teenagers are traditionally given a drink. Similarly, later in life, young Danes can't avoid Fredag's bar (Friday bar), which is very popular at universities and in the corporate world. Their frequentation is often seen as a prerequisite for social integration. Just look at Thomas Vinterberg's film Drunk and you'll believe it!

What's very local

Sunday opening is a custom in Copenhagen. We like to get together with our families for brunch.Aquavit, a brandy that will blow your mind, traditionally accompanies smørrebrød. Long neglected, it is becoming very fashionable again. No alcohol is sold in stores after 5 pm. In Denmark, the order taking and the payment are almost systematically done at the counter. But the waiters clear the tables.

Kids

The establishments indicate when children are not allowed, which is rather rare in Denmark, with the exception of certain cocktail bars and discotheques, which are sometimes permitted from the age of 21... or 23!

Smokers

In Denmark, smoking is prohibited in areas larger than 40^m2 . But smoking is allowed in smaller cafés!
