Curfew Reviews 63

Amazing space and vibe, not too loud music so you can sit and talk and relax. Professional and very skilled bartenders and incredible hosts. It’s our “go-to” bar and I never experienced anything bad or unprofessional. If people come in too drunk or get too drunk during the evening so they start interrupting other peoples nights and it gets unpleasant and annoying, the hosts step in and kindly ask these people to call it a night and go home. You really feel welcome and you can feel how it is important to the crew that you have a good evening. If you’re ever in Copenhagen, you should definitely drop a visit here.

Update: Please read the owner's replies and ask yourself if this is the right place for you to go!

Do NOT go here, it's an absolute waste of your time!
We ordered two drinks, and then were told we were "too drunk" to be served anymore. What a joke! We had only had two beers before arriving and were sitting quietly enjoying our drinks.
The staff were rude, unprofessional, and treated us like we didn’t belong. If you value your time and dignity, avoid this place at all costs! Absolutely appalling service.
Never going back, and I urge everyone to stay away!

Cool set up but ...
3/5 The bartender gave me aloholic beer instead of non alchoholic after I already had a cocktail, which made me end up with too much alcohol in my blood n get drunk. My tolerance for alchohol is low and they should be careful what they serve customers.
1/5 The bartenders way of designing the drinks or how the drinks are served is so basic. When you come to such a cool place, you expect the drinks also at least to look creative, with some interesting design n garnish, not just a glass with drink n piece of jelly in it. Come on guys! its 2024, tik tok age. Get some inspiration from awesome bars around the world n be a little creative n innovative in serving the drinks ... make it an experience than just a drink in a glass ....

Curfew Cocktail Bar is a hidden gem that whisks you away to the glamorous 1920s era. Tucked behind a bookshelf, it's like entering a secret world where the air is filled with the sounds of jazz and blues.

What sets Curfew apart is the incredible attention to detail. The decor and the staff's vintage attire create an authentic atmosphere that instantly transports you back in time.

But the real star are the drinks. The bartenders are true artists, crafting cocktails that not only taste amazing but also are incredibly presented. Whether you're a cocktail aficionado or just looking to try something new, they'll help you find the perfect drink for you ;)

Yes, the prices may be a bit higher, but the experience is absolutely worth it. Curfew isn't just a regular bar—it's a whole new adventure. I highly recommend it whether you're with friends, your partner, or even if you're solo. I've had a blast chatting with the friendly bartenders, even when I went alone.

If you're in Copenhagen, make sure you don't miss out on this experience.

Unexpected Gem in vesterbro”

I stumbled upon Curfew on a whim and what a find! The 1930s speakeasy vibe is authentic and inviting. Sitting at the bar, I was fascinated by the hand-crank shakers and the skill of the bartenders. The cocktail I had was phenomenal, a perfect blend of flavors that left me wanting more. The service here is attentive, making you feel like a valued guest from start to finish.

The staff and owner are always welcoming and their cocktail menu is a testament to the creativity and expertise of their bartenders.
Curfew exemplifies what a cocktail bar should be!

One of the best bars in Copenhagen - amazing quality of drinks and really professional, authentic service.

As for the venue itself, it's certainly a standout in the City - it's very rare to experience an interior as unique as Curfew, paired with exceptional service and the highest quality drinks. Such a unique bar, it's no surprise it has an incredible reputation.

I'd always recommend Curfew - especially for dates, to take family out, or simply for an amazing after work drink. Well done, Curfew.

Cozy atmosphere and beautiful place, the stuff was very kind and helpful. The combine of these two things with the amazing cocktails made the curfew a must visit drink destination in Copenhagen.

Unbeatable cocktail experience. Everything from the prohibition era theme and vibe, the high level of service to the amazing cocktail is 5 stars. The cocktails are balanced beautifully and much better than the competition. The flavour profiles are unique and distinguished. I have ventured to the competition to try them out but always find myself longing for a night at curfew instead. These guys nail every aspect of cocktailing 🤌 really appreciate all the effort that goes in to such a complete experience. It’s theatrical, playful, professional and seductive 💃🏻🍹

Such a great experience!!
Unique atmosphere, kind service, willing to suggest and explain the cocktails.
Cocktails had a great fusion of flavours.
I would recommend Curfew without a doubt.

This whole place has an amazing and detailed vibe. From the entrance, where you are welcomed in professional manner and seated at the table, to the cosy service from hostess. Cocktails here are highend and every single detail is well thought through, also all spirit's and liquor used to mix with are of high quality. Have been enjoying different cocktails and drinks in many places around the world, but Curfew is definitely in my top list of bars that tends to deliver full experience.
PS! If you don't have reservations on busy days, then expect to wait for available seating or get the opportunity to come back later.

I have been there more than 15 times during the past 3 years, and have absolutely been satisfied all of the times I visited Curfew. From their welcoming reception by the (hidden) entrance, to providing us with great service and presenting us with the most unique and tasty drinks.

Their cocktails are amazing creations and custom-designed by the experienced owner and bartenders. They are so distinctive and delicious, like nothing else you have tasted before. My favorite ones are "Arne Jacobsen" (rum-based) and "Bonnie & Clyde" (whiskey-based).

On top of that, the owner is the definition of professionalism and tastefulness, he upgrades the cocktail menu frequently and takes great care of the bar and its decoration and vibe. It emanates a speak-easy, retro atmosphere which will take you back to the golden age of jazz. All the personnel in Curfew shows exceptional service and welcoming manners, they are very polite and treat the customers better than any other bar I have ever been to in Denmark!

I will be visiting Curfew again and again without a second thought!

This place is a gem!
Hands down my favorite place to be in the whole city. I have lived three years in Copenhagen and have visited most bars and pubs and there is no other place with better drinks and better service.

The decor is warm and festive, with a speakeasy atmosphere. The music is always fitting and if you are lucky you might get to experience great live musicians playing some light jazz from time to time!

I have been there so many times I cannot count and every experience has been unique. I actually moved to Malmö and still visit Curfew when I want good strong cocktails and great service, because it is just totally worth the trip.

Everyone in the staff and the owner are welcoming, super polite and professional, and keep a wonderful place with style and high-level cocktail recipes. "Remember the Maine" must be my all-time favorite, but there are always new ones in the menu to try and experiment!

Note that this place is not for those looking to get drunk fast and cheep. There it is prioritized that guests have a high-level of experience. There are other places for that in Copenhagen.

Thank you for creating such an oasis for us cocktail lovers! I will be back soon.

Curfew, what can i say.... The staff is friendly, bartenders knowledgeable, the atmosphere is great and service always top tear! Authentic REAL cocktails is so hard to find in a day and age where anyone with a shaker can call them self a bartender. This place is no joke, its the standard. 6 stars from here and highly recommend.

The reply from the owner is a perfect example of the level of arrogance. Thank you for making my point even more clear! 👍

We had a reservation and still had to wait to be seated. After a long wait for our drinks we were told that one of the drinks were no longer available. We then ordered a new one. When the drinks arrived 30 minutes after our seating, we experienced that the Espresso Martini was not very tasteful and we told this to our sweet server. She said that she was sorry and afsked if she could make a new one. We asked to get another drink in sted. This was accepted, until the manager came to our table and demanded to know what was wrong with the drink we ordered in the first place. We explained and he was not satisfied with our response. He said we we were not able to describe it in a way that made sense. He insisted on making us another Espresso Martini because we clearly did not know how it was supposed to taste and he was being very rude. The amount of time he spend on discussing with us must have cost alot more than making new drink. We left and we will not come back.

The only reason why they get 2 stars is due to the look and the style of the location.
Too bad the owner of this place meets you with a cocky attitude, and treat you like you were less than himself.
Here is a kind reminder that in Denmark we all have the duty to treat eachother equal! As pretty much every person in this country can pay for a fancy cocktail, should they desire for it.
Here is the story -My friend and I were seated at a shared table, due to lack of places. No problem so far. We study the menu, yet we get a message (short time after we were seated) from our group of friends, that we should meet at Cafe Victor instead. We explain this to the waiter and we head to warderobe to colect our jackets. The owner follows us at the warderobe, starts pacing back and forth, fussing about how due to us being undecided he will now lose money. That he could have seated somebody else instead of us, and that lucky for us we didn't use "his toilets" - or else he would have charged us. Both my friend and I made him aware of his rude attitude, since we didn't occupy the seats for longer than 10 min in total. And we should have the freedom to leave as we please. The dude wasn't satisfied with not winning the argument, stressing again and again how lucky we were we didn't use his toilet. OR ELSE he would have charged us. He escalated the argument until my friend provoked him by offering him 100 Kr for the unused toilets. He refused the money but kept on 🤢
We all understand the concept of a private location - but we did not have a reservation! And therfore no obligation to stay just because we were seated - at a shared table, for 10 min. We felt trully harassed by this man who couldn't take a rejection, n'or could he take NO for an answer! We are astonished and deeply dissapointed in such a disrespecful service! Never had we ever met such a gross attitude, anywhere in Denmark!
This gentleman should maybe learn a thing or two about the danish culture in the first place! If Janteloven is too much for that cocky attitude, he should by this be reminded that a smile and a warm "we hope to see you next time" would have made a world of difference!
But then again - low selfvesteem has it't way of camuflaging itself behind a rude, superior behaviour!
May you run your Curfew in peace! Be sure the ones who were treated the same way we were treated by you, will never put 1 Kr in your pocket again. Not for drinks n'or for your toilets!

Have been in curfew, and honestly Will not give any stars if I could do that in here.
Very bad, disgusting, poor and arrogant.

Before I have decided to write my comment I scroll down to see what other people has experienced in there. And yes we had the same: extremely bad service!! We also have heard from manager “it our own problem”! And it not just me! Please notice this experience repeats between all guests. And we are those people who loves cocktail places, we know service and experiences which we have to get.

The most important, that this place DISGUSTING. My friend asked to change drink, and at this point I went out to smoke and saw how waiter/manager was standing with bartenders and tasting and smelling her drink with non-understanding face! In the end he came back with the same glass, just with adding sweetness. So unprofessional, disaster and speechless! And I just have been looking at them. Very sad that it not allowed to film it without permission as it could be real proof. Because after my comment gonna come message that how I can write that? Why I didn’t stop them? Or anything else…just wait

I know that on my comment gonna come a huge explanation, as to all previous people, with all details and how they are not guilty. But it just RED FLAG when people try to excuse them self for next guests, to show that WE are wrong and they are right. We all have been going to the cocktails for many years, and some people have been working with cocktails for many years, so we know how it SHOULD be in professional way!

I know that this place not gonna survive in a long time with workers like that, and it depends on time. But after that disgusting experience it should be closed immediately.

My boyfriend found and LOVEs this secret yet gorgeous place called Curfew, and now I do, too! We went on a date in Copenhagen and this was the last spot of the day, which made it as a very much pleasant and exciting experience.

I have been told of its unique concept (like the secret entrance), the time-traveling feeling of 20-30's world and not to mention the elegant creations of fine cocktails - I made sure they all are true.

Lovely hospitality from the very door man, the floor concierge and the bartenders simply satisfy a person like me having grown up in the land of hospitality and good service making you feel like a VIP or a princess.

Humberto, the owner and the best bartender, shares back stories and passion serving amusing Arne Jacobsen cocktails (in my pictures) while my boyfriend enjoys his favourite classics.

We'll find the secret door again, and I am sure many more others will do, too!

One of the best cocktails bars I have been to around the world. Super amazing cocktails in a great ambience accompanied by world class service and let’s not forget the special jazz nights. It is definitely my go to cocktail bar in Copenhagen without a doubt.

My go to bar whenever I’m in Copenhagen, the staff and the owner are nice and accommodating.

The cocktails are always top notch, and falls within the price range of almost every bar in town but with a superb quality.

5/5 it never disappoints.
