Eiffel Bar

I loved Eiffel Bar! I was visiting Copenhagen last week and had one day left by myself after my friends had left. I stopped by Eiffel Bar before a dinner reservation around the corner, and it was a great decision. The bartender and regular patron were wary of me of first, I imagine, (which is completely understandable... I am American, after all!) but they warmed up quick and we had a great convo over some beers. I felt very welcome, which was a great contrast to the dinner I had right after (lol), and the interior of the bar was perfect; dive-y, cigarettes allowed, and just lovely. Thanks Eiffel Bar :)

This place makes me nostalgic for a time I didn’t even live through. Bought over in ‘59 by a French lady, the decor proudly hasn’t changed since. The stained glass windows and smoke inside are like stepping into a time machine. Myself and my two companions propped up the bar one Monday night in March and had an excellent time. I worked my way through the bottles displayed on the top and enjoyed them all. The prices are very cheap. A three bottle round (good bottles) was never more than about £8. We spoke for hours with the bartender and his knowledge of not only the city and booze were impressive, but just about anything. He knew much more than I did about Scottish whisky… and I’m a whisky loving Scot. Really great conversation throughout the night. We got talking to some other visitors who came and went as the night went on as well. It’s that type of place. The only shame is that we weren’t there longer for more than one visit. There’s a lot to see in the world and it’s unlikely I’ll be back to Copenhagen too quickly, despite loving it, but the Eiffel Bar is definitely a strong pull back…

We were 3 girls at a table. I was drinking beer after beer, but one of my friends was a slow drinker so she only had 1 drink, drinking it slowly. After approximately 2 hours she was asked either to leave or have another drink because "she was taking the space from other costumers". The place was not full. And overall, our table had 7 drinks. Forcing people to drink faster is unacceptable. Quitw unpleasant experience.
