Tucked beneath the cobblestones of Gråbrødretorv, The Jane is a multi-room cocktail bar that channels full Mad Men-era glamour — think Chesterfield sofas, dark wood, and a fireplace you'll want to park yourself next to. It's the kind of place where you can start with a quiet drink in the library room, smoke a cigar, and end up on the dance floor when the DJ kicks in later in the night.
Affiché en ENA subterranean Mad Men-style cocktail bar on Gråbrødretorv with Chesterfield sofas, a cigar-friendly library room, and a dance floor that comes alive with DJ sets.
Go between 20:00 and 23:00 on weekends for 60kr cocktails and to grab a spot in the library room before the late-night crowd takes over.
Mad Men glamour meets Copenhagen nightlife
The Jane is one of those places that manages to be several bars at once, and that's exactly why it works. You walk in off Gråbrødretorv and the first thing that hits you is the atmosphere — Chesterfield sofas, dark wood paneling, a crackling fireplace, and lighting set to "moody." It feels like stepping into a 1960s ad agency after hours. The cocktail menu is solid and well-executed, though not the most adventurous you'll find in Copenhagen. What you're really paying for is the experience of moving through the rooms: start in the library with a drink and maybe a cigar, then drift toward the dance floor as the night picks up and the DJ takes over.
The crowd is a mix of locals and tourists, and on weekends it gets genuinely packed. Reviewers consistently praise the music and the vibe — people describe it as fun without being creepy, which is rarer than it should be in nightlife. The cocktails are reasonably priced for Copenhagen, especially during the early evening happy hour (60kr from 20-23 on weekends). Service can slow down when it's busy, so if you're planning a big night, arrive early to grab a spot in the library room before it fills up. It's worth noting the venue has recently rebranded as "Echobar" with a silent disco concept, so expect some evolution in the experience.

The Jane, c'est l'endroit où l'on se sent immédiatement transporté dans un épisode de Mad Men. Sur la place Gråbrødretorv, on descend dans un univers de fauteuils Chesterfield, de bois sombre et de cheminée crépitante. La carte de cocktails est correcte sans être révolutionnaire, mais le vrai atout de The Jane, c'est son espace en plusieurs salles : on commence calmement dans le « library » avec un verre et peut-être un cigare, puis on finit la nuit sur le dance floor quand le DJ prend les commandes. L'ambiance est soignée, un peu théâtrale, et ça marche.
Le public est mêlé — locaux et touristes — et le week-end, c'est plein à craquer. Les avis saluent régulièrement la musique et l'atmosphère conviviale, sans drague lourde, ce qui est appréciable. Les cocktails restent abordables pour Copenhague, surtout lors du happy hour (60 couronnes de 20h à 23h le week-end). Le service ralentit quand c'est bondé, donc arrivez tôt pour sécuriser une place dans la bibliothèque. Notez que le bar s'est récemment transformé en « Echobar » avec un concept de silent disco, donc l'expérience évolue.
