The Barking Dog

We weren’t blown away by this place. The drinks we ordered weren’t that I great. I ordered the rye or dye, and I wanted it to be more sour. I tried the drink my spouse had, and it tasted watered down.
The place really emphasized form over function. Some people try to be hipsters really hard, but other people are hipsters just because of who they are. This place is the former; it just tries too hard to be quirky. Even on the menu, where fancier and hipstery places will list what the drink has, this bar sort of hinted at the ingredients. Not ideal when you know what you’re looking for or what you like.

Cocktail bar with a very nice atmosphere and a mysterious drinks menu that changes regularly. The menu tells a story for each cocktail but does not fully reveal what it contains, so you’re always in for a little surprise. The cocktails are however of high quality, so at least I haven’t been disappointed, only pleasantly surprised.
One thing that makes this place stand out from the rest is the service. It seemed like the guys really enjoy their work and they were very genuine and helpful. Wish there were more places like this!

It’s called SERVICE! It’s so hard to find good help these days. unless you are at the Barking Dog!
My first time here was around 7:30 on a Saturday night so it was almost at full capacity. A handsome gent came up and suggested a high table in the far room, but warned us that the group already sitting in the area there was pretty loud. He offered to squeeze us in to a low table with some other patrons but we opted for the seats by the loud table. As soon as we hung up our coats, there was water on our table and two drink menus. Inspired by the loud group, which was apparently in the middle of an enthusiastic pakkeleg, I wanted a Christmas beer. It ended up being an English Pale Ale called Reindeer Droppings. Thankfully it didn’t taste as one would imagine, but it was not that great either. Eventually the loud group left, leaving a trail of crumpled wrapping paper and even some forgotten gifts in their wake. Three bartenders came out of nowhere and righted the area in 2 minutes flat. They even offered us a box of Anthon Berg chocolates that was left behind (which we politely declined).
Although I wasn’t happy with the beer, I will definitely be back to try the cocktails at this cozy bar with great service.

Definitivamente merece una visita!
Excelentes cocktail y ambiente.
Very attentive staff.

Decent cocktails, nice friendly French staff. The only down side is that this place closes at 2am! This is a great place for a few friends for a cozy night with some nice conversations, this place is way too small for big groups! Four stars for customer service and decent cocktails.

Wonderful place to chill and chat before a big culinary adventure. The bar was super friendly– from the lovely Swedish couple from Malmö, sitting beside us, to the charming and attentive Brit bartender. We also managed to score an invite to another hot bar in Copenhagen because I apologized for bumping into its manager. Love Copenhagen!

Been here few times as it’s within the area I live in. It’s a good place for cocktails as they have a variety of them and they also have their own beer for beer lovers to try. The cocktails are not the cheapest but they are quite good. However seems like this place did never win my heart and if there is another option around to go to I would probably not stick to this one. The place is quite small and few stairs below ground level so in summer nights you feel kind of locked in. On the other hand in winter time it’s cosy and warm. So all in all a place I will probably visit again but won’t become one of my favourites!

Came here for the cocktails but they’re kind of steep, so I vowed for the accountant instead. It’s a mix of lime with apple juice and ginger beer. I also got the polish which was sausages, pickles and chips. Drinks aren’t really worth it but the atmosphere is amazing! Den er hyggelidt! It has a hip, trendy and retro vibe. Great décor, its also the first bar I’ve been to with a server that doesn’t work only behind the bar.

Fun place. They made a good aviation, blood and sand, and the white Russian with coco puffs was entertaining. Good service as well.

A fun little neighborhood place with some creative cocktails. Won’t change your life, but a fun place to meet a friend on a Friday night.

Unlike my other English speaking reviews buddies below (shout out!), I came to this cocktail bar and drank wine. So even though I took a lovely picture of a cocktail while in there, I really can’t say much about its potency, flavor, or quality.
I will say, however, that my glass of Syrah was exactly what I expected it would be, so no disappointments there. The ambiance in the bar is actually really great and I could imagine hanging there for a while with some good people and good conversation when the budget allows. The lighting is good, the bar is fascinating (cool lighting — yes, I am easily entertained), the clientele are diverse, the the bartenders are a friendly and chipper bunch.
Overall the mood here is relaxed and easy-​going and I guess the idea is to serve what normally might be considered a pretentious adult beverage (cocktails) in an unpretentious environment (pub).

This is a cool cocktail joint. It has the right vibe, the cool bartenders, hip crowd and good cocktail list but I didn’t leave impressed. Maybe I’m spoiled by NY but I think the mixology could get better. Drinks were underwhelming and not well balanced.

Fun interesting cocktails and a nice, hip crowd. Server was strangely sarcastic when asked for drink recommendations, but overall experience was fun. Nice cocktails and atmosphere, though the drinks do not seem super strong.
