Giant industrial lamps, découpage table tops and a convivial buzz set the scene at this re-
spected Nørrebro wine bar. Look out for lesser-known Argentine drops, and toast twice to
the half-price deals on glasses of vino between 4pm and 6pm Sunday to Thursday. If hun-
ger washes over, graze on the likes of cheese, charcuterie and croquettes, or tuck into a
juicy slab of steak.

Inspired by the speakeasy bars of old New York (even the cocktails are named after 1920s
slang), the sneaky Union lies behind an unmarked black door. Ring the buzzer and head
down the steps to a suitably dim, decadent scene of handsome bartenders, in-the-know rev-
ellers and silky tunes.

Worn floorboards and chairs, bottled-lined shelves and soothing tunes give this winning
cafe and wine bar a deliciously snug, moody air. You'll find around 40 wines by the glass
alone, as well as boutique beers, coffee, and a simple, seasonal menu of sharing plates like
osso buco with roasted artichokes and onions, as well as cheeses and charcuterie.

Copenhagen meets Ibiza at this seasonal, harbourfront bar-lounge. Book a mini-cabana,
grab a mojito and tan away to sexy lounge tunes. Edibles include sandwiches, grilled
meats, seafood and salads, but the real reason to head in is the vibe and music. It's located
north of Operaen, at the northern end of Amager.
