The atmosphere was amazing. Our waiter was a delight. It was an experience that was interactive and educational. The scene of the bar was worth just going, just to go. read more

Went there because it was highly recommended. Tried to create an old school bar. Looked great and cocktails were interesting. There was a jazz band playing which meant we had to wait for a seat. Nice evening read more

Wow! What a great little place! Tucked up into a hotel where famous visitors are etched into brass nameplates and tacked onto the pillars in the lobby, lies this quaint and comforting place called the "Library Bar." The bartender was off the charts friendly and knew his mixology like he knew his Danish history. The sheer history could be smelled by even the most deviated of septum. If ever in Copenhagen, this place is a definite "Have to." Shine on you crazy diamonds! read more

Nice chesterfield speak-easy vibe. Gin tonics were good, the service nice. Great place to not feel old in your 40s.

For the most authentic vibey drinks in Copenhagen, come here. Both locals and tourists were marveling at the historical space that was used by royals over the past hundred years. They have a mix of inventive alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks to sip on will taking in the dim lighting and details in this space. It's centrally-located and perfect for a dip in after a long day. Better for dates or small groups, otherwise you may be waiting for a while on a busy weekend night. read more

One of the best bars in Copenhagen. The decor is next level. Atmosphere is cozy and dark. You must try the barrel aged negroni if you're a negroni lover. It's all hygge. read more

Ducked into the Library Bar on a blustery evening and found a super cozy ambiance and excellent drinks. Bar tender is so friendly and pours drinks with style. read more

Louis R is an avid reader so it would be appropriate for him to be three-drinks deep at this establishment...sans book, though. Louis R is a fan of throw-back, dark AF drinking spots adorned with wood-paneling, shelves carrying hard-cover books, comfy leather sofas, and strong cocktails produced by bow tie-clad mixologists. Lots of Danish locals can also be found here for Louis R to mingle with. I dare say packed AF, but in a chill way. Be like Louis R, travel to Scandinavia...but don't crowd my bars. read more

Easily one of my top 3 bars in Copenhagen! I almost didn't want to write about it, for fear of disclosing what I thought was a totally secret tip, but seeing as there were already 11 reviews at the time of my writing, seems like the cat is out of the bag anyways - so why not throw some love their way?! I only found out about The Library Bar last fall when I attended a rum tasting there (which, by the way, was awesome) and instantly fell in love. I am just an absolute sucker for this type of old-school, dim, cozy bar with wood-paneled walls, book shelves, leather sofas, and classic cocktails mixed by bartenders with suspenders and bow ties. Their cocktail menu has a lot of classics, which seem to be experiencing a sort of renaissance recently, but also some signature cocktails of their own invention, which never disappoint. The prices are the usual range for cocktails in Copenhagen, but rest assured that you're really getting quality drinks here. There's a grand piano in there as well, where I've seen a very talented young singer/ pianist perform on some occasions. It's small and therefore fills up quickly, but only once did I not manage to get a table after a couple of minutes. It's definitely not as busy as other, more hot shot bars around the city. Definitely a place to go! read more

Great little spot, live jazz, millwork walls and ceiling.Cozy spot to enjoy with friends.

The atmosphere here is amazing. I felt like I was in a secret library in a mansion but really it's in the plaza of a hotel. The drinks are pretty darn expensive so we only had one but they were good. I got the vanilla passion champagne and it was had a creamy taste to it. They also had an absinthe and champagne drink that sounded very interesting. read more

I don't really have anything against The Library Bar to be honest: The place is alright, very central - inside Copenhagen Plaza hotel, which is next to Copenhagen Central station. You can't get even more central than that, but the bar itself isn't very big. It's more like a room than a bar, a library to be exact, so I can't really sue them on that. With its dimmed light and cozy chairs, this place gives an aura that matches one of their best drinks: Old fashioned. You could imagine old men with cigars (well, smoking isn't allowed inside), sipping their 30 year old scotch inside, and it's nice in a way that it's one of those bars where you could have a proper conversation without having to shout to each other (I guess I have reached THAT age where I don't like to hang out in discos and loud places anymore). Three stars - because it's quite small, and that the drinks are pretty average for the price. A normal cocktail would set you back at around 110 DKK, which is probably normal for Copenhagen standard, but I would rather have that drink at Ruby's for example, for that price. Then again, this place is a hotel bar, where it's a common knowledge that hotel bars are pricier than normal bars, so it's totally understandable that way. That said, I wouldn't put this place on my night outing list (if there's such a list..) but it's a good choice to have if you are near central station and have nowhere else to go. As other yelper pointed out, don't come here if you're under 30 or have a young soul, you wouldn't like the sombre atmosphere. Me on the other hand.... read more

Nice and calm and a good place to bring a book or magazine and relax for a while. Closed on mondays when we where last there. read more

Well reading the reviews I got curious to try this bar. However I arrived and it was more like a lounge where everyone was sitting around a table with their comfy couches. Good for a talk or a business drink, but if you want to be around people and have fun this is not such place. We went in and turned away and left. If you re over let's say 35-40 then it should be ideal for you. For me it seemed out of my league and not a place I would like to stay with my friend. On the other hand the interior was indeed very cool and it had this warm lounge feeling. There are no windows so it is quite dark and the colours they have used are also dark. It is located just after the reception on the ground floor on your right hand side in the back. read more

Very delayed review, but this bar was amazing! Drinks were good, the bartender gave us great tips on visiting the city, definitely will be back next time around read more

There is a man in a tuxedo and well-manicured moustache. He's smoking a delicate cigar and thinking about his women. He never calls them "dames" despite this being the slang of choice for the rubble outside. This is the 1920's after all. He calls them "ladies" even though he sometimes feels heated after talking to jazz girls. There is a man playing the piano in his near vicinity, while the man sips a cocktail. The place he is sitting in is Library Bar. It couldn't be anywhere else. What a classy man. What a classy place. read more

Intimate, quiet, and very dark-wood-paneled-old-boys-club feel. Imaging dim lighting, coffered ceilings, and leather armchairs clustered around low tables. Excellent table service so your glass is never empty. Very nice place for a few drinks. read more

This is one of those hidden gems right by the main station. My friend brought me here for the first time in November and I really fell for it! It's like stepping into an old Library with a beautiful piano, woodwork and great cozy atmosphere. You would never knew it existed from the outside which makes it that much more surprising. They have a great list of cocktails and their bartenders know what they are doing. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because if they are full and there is only one bartender, sometimes you have to wait ten to fifteen minutes to be served, and that's a bit annoying. But they take extra care making each and every cocktail. If you are into cozy corners and nice interior, this is the place for you. Especially at Christmas where they hang a giant upside down Christmas tree. Very cool! read more

This place was very cool! It is quite hidden but it is happening. There's live music, great drinks, and typically every seat is taken. Much more sophisticated crowd than you'll find in other Copenhagen bars. I'd go back read more
