3 Best Bars in Vesterbro, Copenhagen

Located in the heart of a historic hotel, this bar is an elegant and romantic spot for a quiet but pricey drink. It has golden wood, leather chairs, and walls carpeted by books. In December, a Christmas tree hangs from the atrium---upside down.

This three-story complex houses some of Copenhagen's best concerts and parties in some of the city's most unusual, beautiful surroundings. Store Vega is where larger concerts are held; Little Vega hosts smaller concerts and turns into a nightclub on Friday and Saturday. Next door is Ideal Bar, a good place to have a drink on your way in or out of Vega.

This cozy café and bar was one of the first hip places to open on Istedgade, and it's still a favorite among locals.
