The Best Bar in Copenhagen, Denmark

Background Illustration for Nightlife

Nightspots are concentrated on and around Strøget. Restaurants, cafés, bars, and clubs stay open after midnight, a few until 5 am. Check out the Copenhagen City Guide (www.ctw.dk) and the English newspaper The Copenhagen Post (www.cphpost.dk) for listings.

Copenhagen used to be famous for jazz, but that has changed, with many of the best clubs closing down. However, you can find nightspots catering to almost all musical tastes, from ballroom music to house, rap, and techno. There are also plenty of trendy clubs where DJs provide the sound tracks.

The microbrewing empire Mikkeller seems aimed at world domination, but this massive beer garden next to the water in hip Refshaleøen is one of the best places to taste the beers.
