For an alternative bar experience in Copenhagen, check out Ruby. Just finding the place is an adventure. This bar is fashioned out of an actual apartment in a building near the Parliament.

Ruby attracts a mixed, fashion-conscious crowd who appreciate their cocktails and conversations in an intimate and relaxed setting, with more of the feel of a private club than a regular bar.

More a sports bar than a gay bar but hey, this is Copenhagen, and so (some of) the sports bars are gay-friendly. So, if you need to watch the big game on the big screen, head to TrykBar.

This non-smoking bar is well-known for its extensive beer selections. Foosball table, backgammon and other games available.

Located in the heart of upmarket Frederiksberg, Café Intime is a Bohemian piano bar & café, with a retro feel of the 1920’s.

The bar features live pianists accompanied by great singers. A nice alternative to the majority of gay bars in downtown Copenhagen.
