Cocktailbar with a festive atmosphere. They make a killer espresso martini, called "Coffee Kick". And they play nice music (sometimes more R'n'b & 90'ies)

3 floor Cocktail-bar. One of my all-time-favorites. For the best experience go in the weekdays and sit in the bar and enjoy their cocktails. Or if you're a group, they have small booth-like tables.
The 3rd floor is a whiskey bar, where you have to be on the list.
Note: the entrance is inside a yard.

"Bar Next Door" make decent cocktails, great place for a post-dinner cocktail if you're dining at Alabama Social. (same owners - hence the name)

If you want the full gourmet food-experience - beyond everything else - Kiin Kiin is the place. It's the only Thai-restaurant in the world with a Michelin star, and with reason! It's (really!) not cheap, but it's really worth it. I tried it once, and the starters themselves were an experience: small Thai street-food inspired dishes, served in the lounge by Henrik Yde Andersen, the owner of the restaurant, himself.

Restaurant 20A is a budgetfriendly version of a full-experience dine out! They have one meat-dish of the day, one fish-dish (if you're into fish, it's usually a tad better than the meat-dish), one appetizer and one dessert. Sometimes they have a steak as well. The food is excellent, and the best part: they have a fullsize wine menu, where every wine can be ordered by glass! I can recommend the Californian Zinfandel, Prohibition.

For a more budget-friendly experience of the Danish kitchen, I can recommend Restaurant Søpromenaden. I've only ever had their lunch (Smørrebrød / the traditional open faced rye bread sandwiches), but it was very tasty. They serve dinner too.

Possibly the best brunch in CPH. It's a buffet, they only serve it on weekends and you have to book a table in advance because there are a lot of people, but it's worth it! When you call to book, try asking for a table in the bay window - maybe you're lucky, and you'll get a view over the entire canal.

It's not a traditional cinema - the screen is shown on a big sloping wall.

The entrance is free, so for a more budget-friendly version, you can enjoy the nature and picnic in the park, and then take a walk in "Bakken". If you go on weekdays there will be less people than saturday/sunday (same with Tivoli)
