Discover Some of Europe's Most Unusual Drinking Spots

Discover Some of Europe's Most Unusual Drinking Spots

by Steve Alexander

European cities are loaded with nooks and crannies filled with interesting, off-the-beaten-track bars and pubs. Whether it's a local favourite or relatively famous pub, we've put together a list of some of the most one-of-a-kind spots to grab a drink.

Founded in 1798 by a doctor from a local hospital is Amsterdam's Cafe de Dokter. By the looks of it, not a lot has been changed since it was founded as the pub's ceiling, doorways and old doctor's decorations are covered in soft cobwebs, as it is famously anti-dusted since the owner's mother gave up years ago. The pub is located near the Amsterdam Historic Museum and the Spui, with the same family running it for six generations.

The dark wood, yellow lighting and aforementioned cobwebs make you feel almost as if the good Doctor himself may sit down for a glass of wine with you at any moment, and the place has an eerie feel to it.

If you want to enjoy your wine with a more intellectual, bohemian experience, you'll get something a bit different from your average Roman wine bar by visiting Rome's Barbook on the Via dei Reti. The bar offers entertainment alongside the glamour and discussion on Italy's greatest novelist, with a DJ on hand Fridays and Saturdays. You'll also have your pick of off the wall retro arty books to choose from while you sit at the long communal table with a glass of wine.

Ruby's in Copenhagen might be right up your ally if you're looking for a hidden, exclusive-like night out. The only sign is the country's flag flying above the door of the bar, tucked away in the Georgian Embassy. After knocking on the door, you'll be able to enter the old bank vault that's filled with velvet armchairs and taxidermy, giving you a more sophisticated escape from the cold Danish streets. Ruby's was also ranked one of the 50 best bars in the world, so don't just take our word for it.
