Basic wares, but different bases are covered here.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A large sturdy wooden house with porch area for outdoor seating. Colourfully decorated with drop-out/hippy/druggy adornments, but not over the top.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Summer evenings are a must, sat on the porch hearing and smelling Christiania as it drifts on the wind, enjoying drinks with friends. There is also a certain charm to clutching a cold beer and enjoying the smokey interior in winter.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Live events, snacks, outdoor seating.

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Given the location, this bar has a fair attitude to pricing.

Description:
A stalwart of Copenhagen’s hippy commune, Christiania, an area undoubtedly scarred by tourism but still offers a distinct visual and cultural counterpoint to the rest of the city. Pavements and roads give way to dirt tracks as you wander along art-lined passageways and old streets long passed into the commune’s hands. Despite a friendly feel there remains a bit of an edge here and there, for reasons to obvious to bore you with in a bar review.

Woodstock is the social drinking epicentre of Christiania and maintains reasonable pricing – admittedly for basic drinks. A large, sturdy wooden construction with an interior bar that is decorated in an almost stereotypical dropout/druggy way, the toilets vividly riffing on that further.

On summer evenings the terrace, colourfully lit is an absolute must, as the sounds and smells drift across from other buildings, and the complex feels like part of a coherent whole.

Be careful to tread lightly on Christiania though, and treat it as though you are a guest rather than a customer.
