5 Best Nightlife in Copenhagen, Denmark

Hviids Vinstue

Indre By Fodor's choice

Around since the 1720s, Hviids Vinstue attracts all kinds, young and old, singles and couples, for a glass of wine or cognac in its atmospheric basement with dark, wooden furniture, stained-glass windows, and leather couches.

Library Bar

Vesterbro Fodor's choice
Located in the heart of a historic hotel, this bar is an elegant and romantic spot for a quiet but pricey drink. It has golden wood, leather chairs, and walls carpeted by books. In December, a Christmas tree hangs from the atrium---upside down.

Bang & Jensen

Vesterbro

This cozy café and bar was one of the first hip places to open on Istedgade, and it's still a favorite among locals.
