Café Blomsten

The Spis take

A genuine old-school Vesterbro værtshus at Istedgade 109, pouring cold beer to locals since 1895 as a kind of extended living room. New owners have given it a careful refresh while keeping the soul intact, including the still-smoking krostuen just inside the door. This is a brown-bar institution for cheap beer and unvarnished neighbourhood atmosphere, not craft cocktails or food; embrace it for what it is.
