Jailhouse CPH
About this venue
Get locked up in the best way possible! 🇩🇰 This police-themed basement is a Copenhagen legend. From prison-cell booths to bartenders in uniform, it’s the ultimate spot for strong cocktails and a playful, cruising-friendly vibe. Guilty of being a damn good time. ⛓️👮♂️✨

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Jailhouse CPH is generally a walk-in bar rather than a velvet-rope queue. The trade-off for arriving late is a fuller room and slower service, especially on event nights.
Best night
An advertised show, DJ or community night is the best reason to visit Jailhouse CPH; on ordinary nights, early evening is the easier social window.
Locals vs visitors
Expect lesbian and sapphic guests, trans and non-binary guests, and leather and fetish regulars at Jailhouse CPH. The mix changes with the hour and programme, so an early visit can feel very different from the late-night room.
Dress code in practice
Jailhouse CPH is a relaxed, alternative room: everyday clothes and an expressive queer look both fit better than polished dress-up.
Staff inclusion
Jailhouse CPH presents itself as LGBTQ+-friendly and the overall guest experience is the best guide to the welcome. For specific access needs, contact the team before travelling.
