Bars and pubs in Copenhagen

  1. DrinkPubFrederiksberg

    Café Intime

    A really cosy, and as the name suggests; intimate bar, with candle light, coloured lamps and purposely messy decoration. Frequent live Jazz and Classic music acts, which also turns really intimate as there isn't a lot of space, after a piano has been set up. Traditionally a gay bar, but straight customers are neither turned away nor frowned upon. Very friendly staff!

    Daily 18:00-02:00

  2. DrinkWine barFrederiksberg

    Vinstue 90

    Very traditional (and smoky) wine bar with wine, port wine, and slow beer which is poured in exactly 12½ minutes without the use of carbon dioxide. You are allowed to bring food from the nearby smørrebrød store.

    Su-We 11:00-01:00, Th-Sa 11:00-02:00

  3. DrinkBarNørrebro

    Blågårds Apotek

    This place is an institution on Nørrebro, and provides good atmosphere, propped up by candlelight and beer. There is Live music going on Thursday-Saturday

  6. DrinkWine barIndre By

    Funch's Vinstue

    Real old-fashioned bar with a good mix of regulars and "poor" student's from the universities. The bar prices are some of the cheapest you get in downtown, and while the place looks pretty run down, the mixed clientele gives it a good atmosphere.

  7. DrinkBarVesterbro

    Ideal Bar

    It is no longer a bar since 2016. It is now the smallest venue of Vega. Ideal bar is a branch of the Vega nightclub, handing out drinks at street level in the same building, but it is run as a separate outfit, with a bit more appeal to the happening crowd. It is usually too crowded to sit, so only go here early or if you are ready to dance the hours away on the small but usually packed dance floor. Unlike Vega there is no cover charge.

    Wed 21:00-04:00, Thu-Sat 21:00-05:00 · Live music

  8. DrinkBarVesterbro

    Jolene Bar

    Set up by two ambitious Icelandic girls, this club was too loud for its old location on Nørrebro, so it moved its noise and nice vibes here, and continue to be hugely popular, and the DJ line up certainly lives up to the two owners ambitiousness

    Ruby

    This is probably the best cocktail bar in town in the moment, although, visitors should keep in mind that this is Scandinavia, and a night out here could easily break a budget. This is, however, a great place to do it, with attentive and qualified bartenders, and a well designed interior.
