Have a bop in Østerbro

Word to the wise: The leafy Bopa Square is a lovely place to hang out on summer days. Grab an outside table and watch old gents playing petanque.

This cosy little place is named after its location, Bopa Square in Østerbro, but it's an appropriate moniker. On weekends, as midnight approaches, the unassuming cafe transforms into an upbeat club, the dancefloor remaining packed until 5am with a good-natured young crowd.

The polar opposite of ultra-exclusive, of-the-moment clubs such as Simons, this is an unpretentious, neighbourhood option - the place to go when you fancy a boogie after a few beers, rather than the focal point of the weekend. An added advantage is that, after a few hours' kip, you can return to the scene of the crime for an excellent brunch.
