Inner City
Inner City is full of places for a night out, but as
in most big cities, a lot of the night life has moved to the
surrounding residential areas. This doesn’t signify that Inner City is
not worth exploring. You can try the following places:
Bar Rouge
They offer great
drinks and a high-flying atmosphere. This is the place where the
glitterati, showbiz people and those who believe that this is a trendy
place get together. Fridays and Saturdays DJs pump up the spirit.

House

Nadsat -The young crowd – out partying.

corners, Nadsat is our idea of a great place. You have a party moment
on the dance floor, or you can check out the floor from the bar. The
musical profile of Nadsat is always electronic, and the people behind
it are able to attract famous DJ’s. No matter the celebrity degree of
the DJ, the fee to get in stays at 30 DKR.

”K” Bar – the best cocktail bar in the city
If
you want to drink cocktails in Copenhagen, K Bar is second to none. The
minimalist lounge is located in the old, scenic part of the city, near
Højbro Plads and the beautiful canals.
The bar is named after is
owner, Kirsten, an award winning bartender with more than 25 years of
experience. Heart and soul is poured into the cocktails, and they are
not stingy with the booze. “A cocktail should have some taste” as
Kirsten says.
Kirsten is the Martini Master of Copenhagen. You
will find 13 varieties on the menu, one of them named: “Monster
Martini”. And with a generous 10 cl of alcohol, it lives up to its
name. You can always get the classics, but the menu changes all of the
time, since Kirsten wants to challenge your taste buds!

Vesterbro
Particularly
the area around Istedgade is packed with cafés, cocktail lounges,
restaurants and seedy bars. Trendy people mix it up with students,
hookers and pickpockets. That unique cocktail makes the area worth a
visit.

(Big) and Lille (Little) Vega. And later at night, Vega Nightclub and
Ideal Bar.

The place to go if you are looking for a cocktail and an authentic young Vesterbro atmosphere.

Nørrebro is always full of
life – every day of the week and around the clock. When night falls,
the area around Elmegade is worth a visit. Check out:
Oakroom
Birkegade 10 – a cocktail bar with all the good stuff. And a very cozy
place, not as posh as other cocktail lounges. The clients are students,
showbiz people and, generally speaking, a happy crowd, mostly under 40.
Behind the bar, they know the art of shaking. You can get Martinis,
cocktails, smashes, juleps, highballs and frozen drinks. The names as
well as the recipes are exotic. The bar also offers a selection of
imported beer and a wine menu with affordable prizes.
