Istedgade 29 · Vesterbro
This is the place
We opened in 2022 and work behind the bar ourselves. We are a five-minute walk from Copenhagen Central Station, the front onto Istedgade stands open when the weather allows, and there is no dress code and no need to book.
The list runs to 44 bottles and changes as we go. Mostly European, a good share organic and low-intervention, and always something open by the glass so you can taste before you choose.
Drink the bottle here or take it home with you. Bottles to go are 40% off the bar price.

Wine tasting: Wines from Oregon with John Grochau
Join us for an evening with a visitor from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. John Grochau of GC Wines (Grochau Cellars) will be behind the bar himself, pouring his own wines. John discovered wine in his early twenties, racing bicycles for a French team in the Loire Valley. His races took him through Champagne, Burgundy and the Loire. Back home in Portland, he spent more than a decade selling wine in the city's best restaurants, including the legendary Higgins. He then did a year in Sonoma and worked at Erath and Brick House, and in 2002 he made his first vintage under his own name. His wines are made to go with food and to taste of where they come from. We'll taste four of John's wines, plus a sparkling and a sweet wine from our own list, chosen for the evening. Event details: -Tasting: 6 distinct wines -Includes: 6 glasses of wine, snacks to share (cheese, charcuterie, bread & olives) and water -Price: 349,- DKK
The wine
The list changes all the time. A mix of classic European styles and funkier low-intervention bottles – basically whatever we think tastes good right now.
The food
Simple, high-quality plates that go well with wine. Our bread comes fresh from our neighbours at Bageriet BRØD, and the cheese and charcuterie come from Gastronomer, who import directly from France and Italy.
Things happen here
Good wine sounds better with good music. We host intimate concerts, wine tastings and informal wine school – and the walls change as we go with work from houses, artists and partners. We also run our own blues week, Vester Blues.
Vester Club
We tell you before the seats are gone
Wine school and tastings open to the club first, you hear when we bring in new wines, and you get member prices on bottles and tastings. There are forty seats in the bar, so being in is a real advantage. We write when there's something worth telling: a club night, a red wine tasting or the story of a new wine on the list.
- Wine school and tastings open to the club first. Most are full before they reach Instagram.
- Member prices on bottles and tastings. Just say you are in the club when you are at the bar.
- Word when we bring in new wines .. the three or four worth coming by for.
- Concerts, Vester Blues and Vester Run, early enough to put a date in the calendar.
We write when there's something worth telling. We don't sell your address on, and you can leave with one click.

The whole bar to yourselves
A birthday, a small wedding, a company evening or a tasting for your friends. We are happy to hand over the bar.
