Centralhjornet

Downtown Centralhj?rnet – 'The Central Corner' - is the oldest gay bar in Copenhagen, dating back to the first half of the 20th century (no-one seems sure of the exact date). Open daily from noon until the early hours, this traditional, wood-panelled bar can get very busy with a wide range of gay clientele (men, mostly), especially for its Thursday night drag shows. An eclectic mix of musical acts, from disco to cabaret, also take to the tiny stage on Sunday afternoons at 4pm from October onwards. In the summer, it's possible to enjoy a drink or two at one of the bars outside tables: Christmas, meanwhile, is, 'an orgy of glitter and large decorations'.
