Copenhagen - Your Gay Nightlife Guide

Copenhagen Gay Nightlife

In Copenhagen, club life really revs up after midnight and lasts until 5 a.m., but the warm-up starts earlier in the evening at cafés and bars. The underground scene is hot in and around Nørrebro and Vesterbro and in the up-and-coming Kødbyen (Meatpacking) district.

Oscar

Cute and cozy
One of the more popular spots on the gay scene, Oscar is a cute and cozy place for dinner, drinks and conversation located right in the heart of the city. The casual atmosphere draws a crowd from early evening until late at night.

Jailhouse CHP

Life behind bars
Jailhouse CPH is a popular concept bar with bars on the windows and small cells where you can enjoy a drink with friends. On the first floor the restaurant serves delicious Danish cuisine with international influences. Enjoy you night out! And behave!

Cosy Bar

Get your groove on
The live DJ at Cosy Bar attracts the young party crowd to the dance floor, but there are plenty of chill-out spots here too. It’s a favorite place to cap off a night of clubbing and dancing in the wee hours of the morning.

Café Intime

Paging Judy Garland
The live entertainment at this piano bar attracts theatrical types and bright young things. True to its name, Café Intime is dark, intimate and debonair. If you live for Shirley Bassey and show tunes, you’ll be right at home here.

Vela

Girls’ night out
This one’s for the ladies. Vela is the most popular lesbian bar in Copenhagen, a beautiful little pearl with a special feel right in the hip Vesterbro. DJs provide the music and the crowd makes the scene friendly, comfortable and welcoming.

Warehouse 9

Performance art
Warehouse 9 is part of the cultural renaissance in central Copenhagen’s meatpacking district. This small performance space, music venue and art gallery has strong ties to the international queer community.

Karriere

Creativity rules
Art matters at Karriere, a hip, cool space where you can drink, dine and soak up the atmosphere beneath outrageous Olafur Eliasson chandeliers. The cocktails are wildly innovative and the dinner menu changes with the seasons.

Centralhjørnet

Granddaddy of ’em all
If these walls could talk they’d tell the story of Copenhagen’s proud gay history. Centralhjørnet is the city’s oldest gay bar, going strong for 80 years. The vibe is easygoing and friendly, which is why everyone stops in here. Enjoy the cosy atmosphere!

Code

Go glam
Put your glad rags on and head to Code, a gay cocktail bar and nightclub featuring nightly entertainment by an international array of glittering, glamorous drag performers and singers. Code turns into a wild nightspot on weekends!
