    DAS (Den Anden Side)

    Club · Axeltorv 5, 1609 Copenhagen, Denmark · 5.0 community rating · 4 reviews

    DAS Copenhagen: The undisputed crown jewel of Scandinavian queer techno. 🇩🇰 This is more than a club—it’s a high-octane sanctuary for queer culture where the underground truly breathes. 🖤⛓️The vibe shifts with the moon: some nights are strictly legendary gay parties, while others open up to a curated mixed crowd of electronic disciples. But don't just show up—know the code. Their door policy is fierce, rooted in a rock-solid awareness culture. It’s all about consent, respect, and protecting the space. Dress to express, respect the vibe, and lose yourself in the heavy, avant-garde beats. Pure liberation, no apologies. Strict no-photo policy (stickers on cameras!) 🔥✨

    Oscar Bar

    Bar · Regnbuepladsen 9 1550 København V · 4.0 community rating · 1 reviews

    Oscar Bar & Café is the stylish, sun-drenched sanctuary of Copenhagen's Rainbow Square (Regnbuepladsen). Right next to City Hall, this spot is a high-key community staple that manages to be a chic, inclusive cafe by day and a buzzing, beat-heavy lounge by night. It’s the ultimate "main character" venue where you can enjoy traditional Danish smørrebrød on the terrace or lose yourself to DJ sets on Friday nights. Best of all, it’s a non-smoking sanctuary, which is a rare and glorious breath of fresh air in the Copenhagen queer scene.
