Hotel Sanders' velvet wrapped cocktail room, named for the Royal Theatre's curtain and crowned Denmark's best bar in 2019.
TATA sits on the ground floor of Hotel Sanders at Tordenskjoldsgade 15, a few steps from the Royal Danish Theatre in Indre By. The name comes from the theatre's red velvet curtain, and the room leans into it: armchairs, velvet drapes, and lamplight.
The bar won Best Bar in Denmark at the 2019 Bartender's Choice Awards, and the 50Best Discovery listing keeps it on the international map. The Martini Socialist called the classics among the best poured in Copenhagen.
This is the city's reference room for a proper Martini before or after a performance.
Visitors on Tripadvisor keep reaching for the same image: a grand relative's sitting room, upholstered armchairs, velvet curtains, and a bar trolley intimacy that most hotel bars design away. It is playful and at times decadent, by the hotel's own description, and it photographs like a stage set.
The menu celebrates the canon with a short list of house twists, backed by wine, beer, and snacks from Sanders Kitchen. Expect Copenhagen hotel bar pricing, with cocktails from around 150 DKK. Order the Martini or a Hanky Panky and judge the room by how little it needs to add.
Pre theatre couples take the armchairs at 6pm; hospitality folk and hotel guests close it out. The room stays conversational all night, every night, from 5pm.
Copenhagen's most charming classic cocktail room. Book the armchairs, order the Martini, arrive before the curtain.
