v.Lo opened on Istedgade in Vesterbro under sommelier Patrick Mouritzen, who trained at some of New York's top wine destinations before returning to Copenhagen to create something more relaxed. The bar stocks over 500 wines chosen for quality and drinkability, with a rotating selection of 20+ wines available by the glass. The space is moody and intimate with a bespoke playlist and excellent acoustics—uncommon for Vesterbro's typically noisy bar scene. The patio is one of the neighborhood's cosiest outdoor spaces, and the happy hour (40 DKK for wine until 8pm) is legendary among locals.
Happy hour runs Tuesday-Friday 17:00-20:00 (5pm-8pm)—arrive early to snag a spot and enjoy 40 DKK glasses of wine.
The patio is one of Vesterbro's cosiest outdoor spaces and the acoustics are superb—you can actually hear each other talk, unlike most bars in the neighborhood.
The bar has two separate seating areas—you can split a group or find quieter corners depending on your mood.
