About us

We want to make a difference for Copenhagen, we contribute to Copenhagen’s cultural life and we are a place with room for differences. We care about the environment, focus on sustainability and look after Copenhagen’s fantastic harbor. We encourage everyone who books a kayak to pick up litter from the harbor.

Kayak Bar is a place with a difference. We are known for kayaking, musical experiences and the unpretentious atmosphere.

We are located in the heart of Copenhagen and the entire area is protected. The historic surroundings give the place a very special touch – a personality to be experienced! Our premises are right on the water, we have palm trees – and floating pontoons right next to the water. We are a restaurant, a cafe, a bar, a meeting point and a venue – and a lot more. We organize a wide range of events: concerts, exhibitions, record releases, corporate events, weddings and other celebrations.

SPACE FOR DIVERSITY

The ambition of the site is to create a space where people gather and meet across ambitions, dreams, beliefs, jobs and marital status. People of all ages and backgrounds gather at Kayak Bar – for concerts, company lunches, the informal guy’s night out, or something else entirely. There is always a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our regular customers work in the Danish Parliament, are apprentices as plumbers or far from home as tourists in Copenhagen, and we love it.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

We focus on recycling and sustainability and our surroundings reflect this: Kayak Bar is a rustic and quirky place with benches built from Euro pallets and other quirky furniture.

So when the pressure is on – and fortunately it often is – we ask you to lend a hand. For example, as a restaurant guest, you pick up your food yourself when it is ready. And above all: Take care of the water! Make sure that cigarette butts and other litter end up in ashtrays and bins and not in our beautiful canal – that way we’ll all be happier to be here.

Kayak Bar is the birthplace of the eco-kayak today GreenKayak, a sustainable initiative aimed at reducing the amount of waste in the port environment. Since its founding in 2017, over 80,000 kg of rubbish from kayaks has been collected.

COMMUNITY

Our staff is multicultural and we have brought together a group of people who we believe can uphold our ambition to be a place with personality, where everyone can join in and have a great experience.
