Inferno is a cocktail bar on Istedgade in Vesterbro, one of Copenhagen's central districts. It sits in the lively stretch of the city where many of its neighbours are restaurants, bars and small shops, so it makes an easy stop for an evening out.
The bar presents itself as a place where drinks are built on chemistry and on how they affect the human senses. That focus gives a visit a slightly experimental character: you come for the cocktails, and for the thinking that goes into them, rather than for a simple round of familiar favourites.
Planning a visit
According to the bar's own website, Inferno is open on Fridays and Saturdays, so those are the nights to plan around. Table booking is offered online through the same site, which is worth using if you are visiting at the weekend or with a group.
Istedgade is easy to reach on foot or by bike from the centre of Copenhagen, and the surrounding streets offer plenty to do before or after your drinks. If you want a relaxed start to the evening, you can combine a walk through Vesterbro with a visit here.
