Gensyn Frederiksberg

Really good drinks and excellent service at the tables. We will definitely be back! 🍹

Best service from staff (specially Frederico) Can recommend their pina colada

Old student place with a younger crowd. Really cozy. Their cocktails are strong, but not gourmet.

Cozy place, prices seem reasonable.

Best Old fashioned in Copenhagen.

We dropped by for a cocktail a Tuesday early evening. The bar was half full and two bartenders on job. The cocktail menu offers a great variety of cocktails. Very interesting with some classic cocktails among them also. The bar itself is SUPER cozy. The bartenders are kind and professional - making superb cocktails. This is a cocktail bar you want to visit.

An excellent cocktail bar, that used to be a bodega. I enjoyed an expertly made Sazerac.

My partner and I always like to visit a cocktail bar when we're travelling and spontaneously stopped at Gensyn Bar one late afternoon. While the classic image of a cocktail bar is a dimly lit room with padded booths, etc., Gensyn sets it's own warm, rustic vibe in a wood panelled room that has a slightly western (as in cowboy and western) vibe. Apparently, this location was a local dive bar in a previous life. There was a stag's head mounted on the wall close to our table, excellent for photo ops. Service was prompt, friendly, and informative. If you're a fan of creative thoughtful riffs on old standards and/or liquor forward cocktails, this is the place to be. In fact half of the menu is titled "Boozy Cocktails." As a fan of whiskey forward cocktails, I had landed in the right place. The bar has an association with Reinhardt Rye Whiskey, a small batch rye whiskey distilled in Germany and aged in Denmark. Very much enjoyed the Walnut Brown and the Black Manhattan. My partner's gin drinks, a classic martini and a gin fizz were both excellent. We were about to leave when out of the blue, our friendly server with whom we had chatted with quite a bit, brought us complimentary cocktails! I think we may have to hit this place again before we leave Copenhagen.

The table had 5 cocktails and all four tasted fine. My whiskey sour tasted very thin and not really anything. When the hostess came by after a while to ask if everything was as it should be, and I replied that my cocktail didn't taste very exciting, the rather lame answer was just that they "sell a lot of whiskey sours." Why even ask if it was as it should be? Everyone in the party had tasted the cocktail and agreed that it tasted very thin. We immediately took a taxi to Duck and Cover. I won't be back.
