Nimb Bar

Whenever I have out of town guests or family visiting, I want to bring them here because it is such a nice cocktail bar. In Copenhagen, it’s not a big thing to go and hang out in hotel bars, but this is such a nice one, you cannot resist! The room used to be an old ballroom where they had big bands play, so the sound is amazing. The décor and fireplace make it so inviting, and the drinks are served in real glasses. If you want to celebrate something special, or it jsut being Tuesday, drop by for a drink and enjoy your surroundings– you won’t be disappointed!

Having recently turned 40 I was fortunate enough to having received a gift certificate for a «Luksus Brunch» at the Nimb Bar this Sunday from my dear colleagues.
Let me start by saying that it is the most expensive brunch arrangement I have ever attended and probably the most expensive in Copenhagen.
So the big question is obviously — is it worth it?
Let me try to answer that in this review.
As part of the brunch there are two servings on the menu plus a varied buffet selection. Drinks like coffee, tea, juice and water are included and are served generously throughout the session.
The first serving was Oysters and Cremant. Not a bad way to kick off a Sunday afternoon. Then we ventured in the buffet with both a standard selection of bread, cheese, sausages but also a more interesting selection with mini-​servings of boiled egg with mushroom, salmon, braised lamb shank, beans, crudite and much more. For dessert there was a large selection as well. Finally our waiter brought the second serving — an orange parfait with crumble. At this point we are all completely full but there is always room for ice cream and it was as delicious as the rest of the food.
In short you cannot fault the food, but what really sets this place apart is the interior, the service level and the ambiance.
The building and the interior design is fantastic. Then entire building has been meticulously restored and updated a couple of years ago.
The service level. Right from the start our waiter made us feel totally at ease. Never interrupting or absent. Always present, helpful and smiling. Simply perfect.
The ambiance is the final thing I want to comment on. An ear-​pleasing mix of chill-​out and classical music sets the scene. Comfortable sofas and far distances to the neighboring guests ensures privacy. A lit fireplace. And the very spacious room with its spectacular drawings on the wall combined with the quality of the flooring, furniture and lighting ties everything together in an exceptional quality experience.
It was the best 3 hours spent in a long time.
The total experience is exceptional and I highly recommend it for that reason.

I’m giving this five stars mostly because this place is unforgettable. (The drinks were great, but the place was inimitable.) My friend and I went on a Sunday night, and it was EMPTY. A huge, ballroom-​sized bar and we were the only two there. We remarked that it felt a bit like The Shining. The décor is amazing, with a fireplace at one end, and several half-​finished portrait murals on the walls.
As for the drinks — YUM. Helmut (who, granted, didn’t have much to do with only two customers) poured delicious cocktails, and for the last round poured us his favorite drink to make.
Totally fun. Expensive (everything is expensive in Copenhagen). Worth the trip.
