Reviews
The barman was rude and unhelpful. He mocked me when I tried ordering a beer in Danish. I speak English but at least I made an effort to learn a few words of Danish. All other bars and restaurants I visited in Copenhagen understood my Danish but the barman at Luke’s just pulled a face and responded in gibberish until I told him I knew he understood me perfectly. Then he replied in English and served me after rolling his eyes. Not a good way to encourage tourists to spend in your bar! Edited 16 May 2026 - I’ve added a star to reflect the helpful response from the bar owner, Luke, to my review, which was a great example of customer service. Future customers should make their own minds up and not judge the bar by the behaviour of one individual.
What an amazing experience. Best part of my trip to CPH!!!
A perfect spot for rock music, great cocktails, and quality beer. We went in hoping to see some Vikings, but no luck this time ;) Still, the vibe and drinks more than made up for it.
Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. A wide variety of whisky. Music from a jukebox so chosen by the customers,.
