I was hoping for a cool, sleek truly Scandinavian experience. I’ve been to Denmark but this didn’t conjure up any memories. The setting was nice - above High Street and the menu had interesting cocktails. Seating was a bit uninspired. Lighting at the bar was very bright. We enjoyed a drink.

Denmark On High is a true Columbus gem!!! I absolutely loved this place! I participated in the Cocktail Making Class for my Sister-In-Law's Bachelorette Party a few weeks ago, and had an absolute blast! Gato is the best bartender and instructor ever!! He was a ton of fun and the drinks were some of the best I've ever had in Columbus!!! I will absolutely visit this bar again and I look forward to trying more drinks. I highly recommend this bar for everyone 21+ !!!!

Not really a drinker so I tend to avoid cocktail lounges, but this one is an exception. Their NA drinks are delicious and the enviroment is very good for long conversation. If you're looking for a quieter place to grab a drink with a date, I'd definitely recommend here.

A hidden gem in Columbus for the more relaxed and refined folk looking to have a chill night out. The Denmark offers a great European atmosphere, located on the 2nd floor of a building just across from the convention center. The large windows, low lighting, and casual seating arrangements all set the mood for great conversation amongst peers and intellectual discussions about the various oddities of life.
There aren’t many food options but this place is great with its cocktails. I think there’s always something for everyone, their menu regularly rotates through new unique drinks but has a good repertoire of their classics; The Elderflower Paloma and Mango Daiquiri are particularly exquisite. To my knowledge it’s only run by three guys, which means service will be a little lacking at times, but they’re all great bartenders and have a sweet personality behind their gruff exteriors. They’re just a trio, cut them some slack.
Theres chess sets, self serve water and various card and board games you can pull out from their selections which is complemented by the modern decor to make this place a routine stop for me when I’m out and about downtown. The only negative thing I have to say is that this place is usually very sparse and not as full as I would like it to be, highly recommend more people check it out and make it a regular stop for their nights out as well.
