A world-class jazz club, with after-hours flirting

Word to the wise: Jazz fans should also check out the recently opened Jazzhus Montmartre, and keep an eye on the line-up at Huset i Magstræde.

Copenhagen has a thriving jazz scene and this institution has long been at the centre of it. An eclectic, imaginative programme has high-quality concerts most evenings, showcasing Danish and international musicians.

The live music ends at around midnight, after which, at weekends, the DJs boot up for a disco, with a mixed, up-for-it crowd getting down to soul, funk, and pop until the small hours. The club has a reputation for flirtiness, so those up for getting friendly with the locals are in the right place.
