Halvandet

Halvandet is hands down the most fun spot in Copenhagen.
Grab a pitcher of mojito, or a bucket of corona, and enjoy a day in the sun surrounded by beautiful people.

It’s clear that the idea behind the eventual creation of this bar/​lounge/​activity center was brilliant. Probably about as popular as Duvet in NYC (or as popular as Duvet was in the early 2000s, anyway). Who can’t deny the novel concept of drinking alcohol while in bed, after all? Add the fact that you’re steps away from the canal, and outside in beautiful weather, and you definitely earn some bonus points.
I had a blast here last night celebrating a coworker who is moving on to bigger and better things. We stayed until the ungodly hours of the late evening (ie: midnight) skåling, and foos-​balling, accompanied by fairly reasonable bottles of rosé, delicious white russians, a few shots of jäger for good measure, and a late sunset over the skyline of central Copenhagen.
I think if it weren’t for the ridiculously inconvenient location (1km away from the nearest bus stop, number 40, and if you’re on your bike, beware of the MANY potholes on the way out there), and the price of the completely underwhelming cheeseburger (125kr), I might have given it five stars. The owners of this venue would have it in their best interest to make a deal with the water taxi — at least during the warmer months — and the American cooks I heard talking in the kitchen should take better interest in their burger quality. This American was sorely disappointed by how dry and misshapen they were.
Halvandet had plenty of guests yesterday, and I have to admit, laying on a plastic covered «bed» out in the sun after spending a whole day in the office was awesome. If they had free wifi, I’d «work from home» here every day of the summer. But I’d probs bring my own food. ;)
