Though the Danish capital Copenhagen offers a great variety of bars and nightclubs, there are three nightlife venues that should not be missed. Copenhagen's discos and clubs tend to get going very late, so many clubbers choose to spend time before then in the Copenhagen's "pre-club" bars. Good pre-club bars are the Stereo Bar and Ideal Bar. But afterwards, the real Copenhagen nightlife can only be experienced at these places:
1. Hybrid Bar "Aura"
In Copenhagen, the new and popular way to have fun at night are the so-called 'hybrid bars'. They make it simple to have a good time without driving - they combine restaurants, bars and club amtosphere and change their flair as the evening progresses. One of these is Aura at Nytorv. Uncomplicated food with a lot of good taste is on the menu. Offering eight, eleven, or fourteen courses, each one an exquisite experience.Location: Radhusstraede 4, 1411 Copenhagen.

2. Restaurant Olsen
Restaurant Olsen is located next to the old canal (across from Christiansborg Palace). The menu offers a great variety of dishes, and always depends on the season and seasonal vegetables, fruit etc. There is an international influence on authentic, traditional Danish dishes.On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the bar becomes very lively and remains open until 2 am.
