/ˈkəːfjuː/
A regulation requiring people to remain indoors between specified hours, typically at night. “a dusk-to-dawn curfew”
How it all started…
The owner and the man behind the bar is the Portuguese international Bartender Humberto Marques. For two decades he has shaken, stirred and served cocktails around the world in high-profile bars such as Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland, at celebrity chef Tony Singh’s restaurant and cocktail bar Oloroso in Edinburgh and at the 1105 cocktail bar in Copenhagen.
He is known for his creative mind and technical skills which have brought him to first place in cocktail competitions in both UK and Denmark. He is regarded as one of Denmark’s top bartenders – a position which is cemented in his contribution to bartender guru Gary Regan’s book 101 Best New Cocktails.
Humberto has transformed the bar into an elegant, secret speakeasy cocktail bar that conjures memories from when curfews were executed in the American prohibition time of the 1920s-30s. The atmosphere in the spacious bar is relaxed, the lights are dimmed and the music adds just the right touch of scratchy funky jazzy vinyl, swing, soul, and blues record sound.

Curfew seats 90-100 guests sitting comfortable and enjoying the absolute best table service.
Along with great cocktails and service, guests will also enjoy the décor; Few bar owners in Copenhagen pay such an eye to detail as Humberto.
