Cocktails and contemporary art
Noteworthy for: If you're confused by the toilets, don't worry - they're something of a conceptual joke.

Tipple of choice: Choose a Keyword Cocktail and the bartender will create a unique drink, based on three keywords. Less conceptual is the Mario Mantequilla, which tastes like a liquid version of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
The project of artist Jeppe Hein, this Kødbyn bar has contemporary art on the brain. We're not just talking about work on the walls: here, even the pieces of furniture are gallery-worthy, such as the lamps currently on display, each commissioned from an international artist. The quality is high, too: amongst those who have been involved are art superstars such as Dan Graham, Maurizio Cattelan, and Olafur Eliasson.

Those not into art might think it sounds rather pretentious and, well, maybe it is. But it's also original and great fun: the staff and vibe are friendly; the cocktails and music excellent; and the young, trendy crowd appealing to gaze at. There's a decent restaurant, too.
