About

A bold, prison-themed gay bar and restaurant experience. With hand-cuff décor, cell-style seating and bartenders in police uniforms serving creative cocktails during a daily happy hour, it stands out for its playful yet inclusive atmosphere in the heart of the city’s LGBTQ+ nightlife.

Tucked beneath the cobblestone streets of Studiestræde, Jailhouse CPH brings a unique twist to Copenhagen’s nightlife. The bar’s décor features cell-like rooms, metal accents, and bartenders dressed in cheeky uniforms—all adding to an experience that’s both quirky and relaxed. Visitors can enjoy inventive cocktails, a wide drink selection, and hearty food options in an inclusive setting that encourages laughter and connection. Happy Hour runs daily, making it a popular early-evening stop before the city’s nightlife heats up. While the design hints at mischief, the atmosphere remains warm, approachable, and full of local character. Perfect for travelers exploring the LGBTQ+ scene or anyone seeking an unconventional spot with personality, Jailhouse CPH combines playful creativity with the open-minded charm that defines Copenhagen’s social culture.

Went here with a few friends on a recent trip to Copenhagen and absolutely loved it! We got to have some amazing shots with quirky names. The vibe was bright and chilled, and you could completely relax! I would say its not a venue that everyone would enjoy, given the smoking laws in Denmark people are able to smoke indoors (as a smoker I loved being able to smoke indoors again, especially in a cold country). Even if you only pop in for one drink, I definitely recommend going and giving it a try! I can't wait to visit Copenhagen again and hopefully go back to this little gem!

By far the best Bartenders I ever met and gorgeous guests in a cute basement bar. We just had the best time in ages there, thanks to the cuties behind and in front of the bar. We'll so come back next year!!!

Vibrant on weekends, bartenders are the perfect complement for the best time in this place

Cute little downstairs bar with really friendly staff. They do happy hour on draught beer until 6pm the times we were there where they give you a token for the next pint for free (you can use this outside of happy hour so the regulars keep their tokens until later). A pint is 50 Krone. The only problem is like other bars in the city they allow smoking inside which made us stink of it when we left, as well as our clothes for days.. but the nice staff made up for it

It's fun and a little chaotic. And since they removed the smoke from the main area, it became my favourite gay bar.

Love this bar!!! The space was very cute, intimate with very fun dance music and delicious drinks! I had a pornstar martini that was very cute and yummy. The bartender had great customer service for everyone in our big group! We felt very welcomed!

Brilliant, friendly, welcoming gay bar. I've been on my own several times, and always struck up a conversation with the friendly and so handsome locals.

Amazing place if you want to get a chill beer in a very friendly gay bar in the centre of Copenhagen.

I’ve been here a couple of times during my trip to Copenhagen and I loved it. Lots of diverse people which I appreciated. Barpeople very nice and friendly. I didn’t like the smell of my clothes when I got back (smoking is permitted indoors).
