Duck and Cover is a cocktail bar in Copenhagen, on Dannebrogsgade in the Vesterbro district of the city's western side. It is open every day of the week, which makes it an easy choice whatever day you arrive.
The bar describes itself as a place of mid-century design, local flavours and seasonal menus. Its drinks and food follow the seasons, so the menu you find on one visit may differ from the one you see on another. For a visitor, that is a good reason to look at the bar's own website before you go, where the current offering is set out.
What kind of visit it makes
Duck and Cover suits an evening out rather than a quick stop. Come for cocktails and a relaxed meal, and allow time to sit and talk. The mid-century styling gives the room a settled, considered feel, and the focus on local ingredients means the drinks tend to reflect the city and its produce.
The bar also has a separate space called Anneks, used for private functions, testing, tastings and events. If you are visiting with a group or are interested in something beyond a regular table, it is worth asking about it through the bar's website.
Getting there
The bar is at Dannebrogsgade 6, in the 1660 postal district of Copenhagen. Vesterbro is a short distance from the city centre, so it is a practical stop whether you are staying nearby or travelling across town for the evening.
