Stronger route anchor
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.
