NIGHTLIFE AND FESTIVALS

Discover the laidback night life of Copenhagen! In a nondescript building on an anonymous stretch of Gammel Strand. Behind an entrance that is easily mistaken for a private residence, you find Ruby. Grand rooms that ooze history, high ceilings that go on forever and polished wooden floors have been combined with homely comfort, to create an exclusive cocktail bar the way they were always meant to be: warm & friendly.

Nightlife in Copenhagen changes fast and starts late, things don't really get going on Friday and Saturday night until after midnight.
