Co-founder & Managing Editor
Morten has called Spain home for the past several years, having previously lived in Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Ireland, and Las Vegas — a trajectory that covers both the world's best pubs and its most theatrical cocktail venues. He has an uncompromising eye for service quality and a genuine taste for champagne bars and rooftop terraces.
His European coverage is the most personally vetted content on the site: if a bar in Barcelona, London, Dublin or Copenhagen makes the guide, Morten has sat there long enough to form a real opinion. He covers Southern Europe, the UK and the Nordics with the authority that only comes from living in them.
Morten co-founded barsforKings in 2022 with Fredrik Filipsson and runs the editorial desk day-to-day — commissioning city editors, enforcing the visit-every-bar rule, and personally approving every rooftop and champagne entry on the site.
From Barcelona's Gothic quarter to Soho, from Le Marais to Nyhavn — where the craft is real and where the craft is theatre for Instagram.
Pound for pound, champagne bars separate bar cities from tourist cities. Morten writes the definitive European list.
A real British pub and a themed British pub are two very different things. Morten draws the line.
Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome. The cities Morten personally edits, venue by venue.
