You can check for club listings in the various districts
The club scene is vibrant in Copenhagen, but most clubs are only open Th-Sa. Note that most locals have a party at home with friends or frequent their favourite bars, before they head out for the clubs, so they rarely get going until after midnight and close around 5AM. Most clubs have a 40-80 Kr cover charge and the ones that don't are rubbish more often than not. Also expect an additional 10-20 Kr for cloakrooms. Most clubs maintain a minimum age of 20 or 21, although they are not required to do this by law. Expect a draft beer, or basic drinks, to set you back 40-50 Kr — a bit more than bars usually charge.
Visitors who want to indulge Su-W will probably have to hunt around to find a place with some action but there are some options:
- Sunday — Rub'a'dub Sundays www.rubadub.dk is a popular dance hall/reggae club (currently on hold until mid 2010 when the Stengade 30 venue will be back in business)
- Monday — The Scottish pub on Rådhuspladsen (City Hall) hosts a backpackers night, which is sometimes quite lively.
- Tuesday — Elektronisk Tirsdag (Electronic Tuesday) www.myspace.com/elektronisketirsdage plays nice electronic tunes on Gefährlich on Nørrebro .
- Wednesday — You could either go for Midweek Brakes www.mwb2.dk at Kødboderne 18 on Vesterbro or the popular International Night studenterhuset.com for resident exchange students on Stundenterhuset in downtown.
- Thursday is tricky, there is no set place to go, but most clubs and bars will be open and often offer discounts on beers and cocktails and free entrance.

For its size, Copenhagen has a rather large gay scene with a good handful of bars and dance clubs located in the center of the city within walking distance from each other, some of the better ones include Be Proud - Copenhagen's largest LGBT club and and Cosy bar in Indre By. VELA, the only bar/lounge in town that is targeted at lesbians is on Vesterbro.
