Bastard Café is a board-gaming café in Copenhagen, Denmark, found at Rådhusstræde 13 in the 1466 postal district. It suits visitors who want an evening or afternoon spent playing games rather than sightseeing, whether they travel alone, as a couple, or in a group.
What kind of visit it makes
The café is built around board games, so a visit centres on sitting down at a table with other players and choosing something to play. It is a social setting, and a good option for anyone who enjoys tabletop play and would like to try it in a relaxed, public space rather than at home.
- Who it suits: solo travellers looking for company, friends on a night out, and families or couples wanting a shared activity.
- What to expect: an informal café atmosphere where people come and go, with board games as the main draw.
