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.

Beau Marché

Vinoria Lilo

Indre By Fodor's Choice

This unpretentious wine bar is an excellent place to explore the world of natural wine. There's no menu; instead the friendly, knowledgeable bartenders will guide you, letting you try a few different wines so you find one that you love. The bar snacks—such as caramelized cherry tomatoes with Danish burrata (fresh cow-milk cheese made from cream and mozzarella) and toasted, oiled sourdough bread—are excellent, too.

Rouge Oysters

Frederiksberg

Located on one of Copenhagen’s busiest streets, this combined wine and oyster bar is the perfect place to head for some fresh or canned seafood, affordable wine, enjoyable people-watching, and interesting art (the walls are adorned with contemporary art). Note that there's no phone.

Ved Stranden 10

Indre By

With a view of Christiansborg and an ever-popular terrace on the canal, this wine bar and shop is as famed for its location as its wine list. There’s a focus on wine from Eastern Europe, tastings on Wednesday, and staff-like dinners on Monday.
