Lidkoeb is located in a beautiful 3 story building in a courtyard just off Copenhagen’s famous Vesterbrogade. The house was built in 1886 by pharmacist H.P. Madsen, and for more than 100 years, it housed the production facility of Vesterbro pharmacy. Since the closedown of production in the late 1980’s, the house has lived a rough life of changing use and eventually abandonment. On a late night In 2010 Rasmus Shepherd-Lomborg was walking home, after visiting one of Vesterbro’s many bars and noticed the slightly worn, lonely building waiting to be put to good use. A voice said: Build it, build it and they will come… This was the beginning of two years of bartering, bargaining, planning and renovating, which finally resulted in our baby: LIDKOEB
The Bar:Lidkoeb opened it’s doors in november 2012, and is owned by Adeline and Rasmus Shepherd-Lomborg, who are also the couple behind Ruby cocktail bar in the centre of Copenhagen. The core values of the two places are very much the same; Friendly and professional service, great products and a cosy atmosphere. However as it often goes with younger siblings, Lidkoeb is slightly more rebellious, and the music tends to get a little bit louder than at big sister Ruby. We think this is perfect for the location on Vesterbro, but come by and see for yourselves. Cheers!
