This café is a popular place to head for a nightcap. It’s located on top of the beloved landmark Øst for Paradis, one of Aarhus’s best cinemas. The dance floor is as popular as the bar.

Jægergårdsgade is home to an ever-growing number of cafés, bars, and shops, but this cocktail bar remains one of the best. It doubles as a restaurant, with a focus on local, organic produce. Stop by for a cocktail before an evening out on Jægergårdsgade, or stay all night at the restaurant.

A long-standing semi-anarchist darling run by volunteers, 1000Fryd is home to a music venue, an art room, and a café selling organic beer and sustainable coffee. You can raffle to decide the price of a beer.

The friendly but slightly dated Café Jorden has a brass-and-wood bar and a heated outdoor terrace with a red awning. Students and young professionals mix with the chatty bar staff.

The surreal bar is crammed with every type of mask imaginable, including grinning Balinese wooden masks and black-and-yellow African visages. The drink prices are some of the lowest in town, and more than 30 kinds of beer are on offer. 

This major cultural center in Aalborg houses a cinema, theater, concert hall, and sports center in a soaring revamped industrial space. Nordkraft's own Azzura restaurant is a good place for a pre- or post-concert dinner.
