Dubliner, Copenhagen

Only having two nights in Copenhagen - one of them a VT meeting, meant we didn't have an awful lot of time for checking out the nightlife but on our last night we were lured by the music into The Dubliner, a European chain Irish bar (obviously!) in Kobmergade where they have live music every night (and it's good!) and very cheeky barmen! As well as tourists, it is also frequented by friendly locals too which must mean it's good!! Check it out and don't be put off by thinking its just another cheesy Irish pub in Europe - it is, but it's worth a visit!

Dress Code: Anything.

Like most Irish bars you will definetly get into hot debate if you choose to sit at the bar table, so if you are traveling alone and have need for conversation you go there, and if nobody talks to you, you can count on the bartender.
But you can also watch all main sporting events on widescreen and when weather is good you can always have a seat outside and do some human behaviour research.
After dark you can listen to life music but like in most pubs in denmark they are not always worth listening too, but at Dubliners you can count on meeting everything but danish people. So after hard tourist day this might just be the place to unwind.
Overall the bar is good, even the overpriced irish stew, but like most bars on stroget it´s rather expensive, the beer is about 48 DKK but if you are Irish or a regular you can say that you are "Happy" and then you get it for 33 DKK.

Dress Code: Don't be naked :)

A stone-faceed doorman forced me to take my coat off and then charged me 10 kronas. I should have refused and got out of there while I had the chance but I made the mistake of staying for a pint. There was some really naf covers band playing, the place was packed full of drunken lads on the pull, Essex girls, or the Copenhagen equivalent... If you're a lad who would like to meet women who put on their makeup with a shovel then this is the place for you, or if you're one of those women, but anyone else should steer clear. There are plenty of places to go in Copenhagen, you don't have to resort to this.

Dress Code: No coats. They take them off you, as I've said. Under your coat you should make sure your clothes have clearly visible labels.

You will always get a great night in the Dubliner. They also serve food so on a rainy day you can stay there all day! Brilliant place to meet people. Met my fiance there and still together after 9 years :)

Dress Code: Jeans

This place is just great!!! They often have live music and the mood is top! You will find people dancing on the tables and many will sing along. They play much music that is familiar to almost everyone. The place tend to be packed late in the weekends. So if you want a table, I strongly recomand you to be there early! I think they close around 05.00 in the weekends. Well worth a visit if you like this kind of places!

Dress Code: No special dress code, just your regular party-clotes! :)

Irish Pubs are perfect places to enjoy a pint of beer and to meet other travellers or VT members in a cosy atmosphere. The biggest of Copenhagen's Irish Pubs is called "The Dubliner" and it is located just in the middle of the pedestrian zone at Amagertorv. The pub has most major sporting events on big TV screens.

As found in many cities across the globe, the Dubliner is a staple. This Irish-pub is always packed everynight and includes some Danish dude singing some pretty unique, but frightening renditions of classics, such as "Sunday Bloody Sunday." I picked up dart-playing though, so thats a plus!

Irish Pub

Located just right in the main shopping street. It can't be missed!!

A place to start the evening and to end it.
