Ruby

Classic drinking and a homely feeling
Tipple of choice: The fame of Ruby's invention, the Rapscallion - a Scottish version of the Manhattan with Talisker whisky - has spread, and it's now on the list at hip New York bar PDT.
Opened in 2007, Ruby was one of the first bars in Copenhagen to take cocktails really seriously and has remained at the front of the pack.
The venue itself is pretty special: an apartment in a canal-side, 18th century building, filled with antiques and Chesterfield sofas, that manages to be both grand and homely. And unlike some venues in Copenhagen it's not too-cool-for-school, but rather larky and welcoming.
As for the drinks - head bartender Julian Johansen was a finalist in the Havana Club International Grand Prix, and he sure knows his spirits. Whether you plump for a classic or one of their seasonal, avant garde concoctions, you'll be happy.
