Baggen

A men only bar, one of Copenhagen's oldest gay bars. Tends to be an older and sometimes fetish crowd, but generally welcoming and friendly. Drinks are reasonably priced here, especially the local beers. Now Non Smoking!

Prison-themed basement bar with a friendly vibe and uniformed bar tenders. The bar has a recurring prison theme with prison bars, handcuffs and cells as part of the interior. Can get busy on weekend nights, and check if there are any events. Now non-smoking.

Fun disco bar with dance floor and DJ. The main gay night club in Copenhagen that is open regularly. Never Mind can get very busy later on, popular as last stop before heading home in the small hours. Note the change of address in the past few years.

Gay friendly dance bar in the meat packing district, Baggen (previously Bakken) attracts a younger crowd and can get very busy on weekends. Fun music and good vibes, worth checking out away from the city centre.

Vela is a cosy lesbian bar in Vesterbro with great cocktails and fussball. Vela also hosts several cultural events such as poetry and literature evenings, live music, speed-dating and much more. Vela is open late into the morning.

Copenhagen's oldest gay bar, popular with a mixed crowd. Often hosting shows or entertainment, check with the bar. If you're visiting around Easter or Christmas, it's worth a visit to see their impressive decorations. Can get very crowded at the weekends, not a great choice if you're a non-smoker.
