Guide to Copenhagen Striptease and Sex Clubs

Stockholm Gothenburg

Updated July 24th, 2012

The numbers below refer to the numbers in the club map. If there is no number, the place isn't on this map - it only shows the part of town where the majority of the listed places and streets are. This doesn't necessarily mean that all the other places are very far away.

General
  1. All price estimates are in Danish crowns (DKK).
  2. The classic street for clubs, shops, video cabins, street girls etc is Istedgade, the first 5 blocks from the Central Station.
  3. For "street hunting", apart from Istedgade (19), check out Skelbaekgade (20), close to the train station Dybbolsbro, and sometimes Halmtorvet which is a square in the area. This kind of activity is LEGAL in Denmark.
  4. Don't mix up things - not all clubs offer full service just because it's a "continental" town.
  5. Look for advertisements under "Massage", "Escort" or similar in the evening paper "Ekstrabladet".
  6. Be a bit careful in the central town area around the street Istedgade and its surroundings. Lots of drug addicts etc.
  7. Shops (videos, toys, clothes etc): Lots of shops at Istedgade. There are many shops in other places as well, like Vesterbrogade 98, Enghave Plads, Frederiksbergs Alle. Check advertisements in the paper, phone directories etc.

Striptease

Striptease, often with expensive champagne bars, private shows. Usually no massage or other advanced services.

Madame Pim (1) - has changed to a new name, which I can't remember right now!

Istedgade 28. Thai girls and similar. Strip shows, private shows of various kinds. Not sure if they have massage also. Maybe the place has two separate entrances, depending on what you're after, haven't checked this out. Ask at the reception. (Curiousum: The place is famous since the professional boxer Mike Tyson's visit some years ago.)

Wonderbar

Studiestraede 69 (on the outskirts of the Old City). Open from 9 PM. Strip shows, lap dances etc. Usually not much activity before 10 PM. Expensive drinks etc.

Beverly Hills

Kongens Nytorv 19. Open from 9 PM. Probably a bit same concept as the above listed club.

Coyote Club

Ved Stranden (a street just beside a canal close to the Christiansborg castle)

Waterloo / Venus Bar (2)

Gammel Kongevej 7. Five minutes walk from the Central Station; close to the lake. Open from 9 PM and 3 PM, respectively. Strip shows, champagne bar etc.

Maxim (3)

Colbjornsensgade, and at Nyhavn. Strip shows of various sorts. Not sure if it's a meeting place / massage also.

Dolce Vita (4)

Trommesal (short street close to Central Station). Same concept as Wonder Bar above.

Doll House (5)

Istedgade 38. Strip shows, private shows, champagne bar etc.

Massage

Club Amour (no number in map, it's between no. 8 and 9)

Eskildsgade 20. (Curiousum: Many years ago, Eskildsgade used to be the street having the highest amount of brothels in this part of town. Actually, the name was changed to Eskildsgade from its original name, to wipe out the reputation.)

Massage club (18)

in Revendilsgade. Look for a basement floor window with a red lamp.

Escort VIP Sauna Club

Tuborgv. 16, Hellerup (north part of town). Escort but also some sort of meeting place or club. Look for advertisement in evening paper "Ekstrabladet" and call for details.

Club 34 (6)

Istedgade 34. Thai girls only. A top-less bar with light beer and soft drinks. Three cinemas on ground floor, one on the bar floor. Cabins for video, or for private dance, or a bit more advanced activities with one of the girls.

Copenhagen VIP Sauna Club

Alekistevej 230, Vanlose. A bit far out from central town, for public transports, go by the "S Train" to Islev or Jyllingevej. Check the map first, or check buses or go by taxi. It's a nice house of its own with around four nice, fresh girls of varying ages waiting for you. Not very expensive compared to what it can offer (from 1400 DKK ?).

Red Light (7)

Abel Cathrinas gade (between Istedgade and the Halmtorvet square). One girl working at a time only. Full service, massage etc. Not very expensive.

Pussy Club (8)

Eskildsgade, just around the corner from the Halmtorvet square. Same concept as Red Light, maybe slightly cheaper.

Playboy Girls (9)

Eskildsgade, close to the square Vesterbros Torv. Same concept as Red Light and Pussy Club, but usually has more than one girl to choose between. There is a red light bulb above the door, might be hard to find otherwise.
Nov 2009 note: Seems to be closed.

Dreamplace

Rodovrevej 390. Outside town, no details - check advertisement in the evening paper Ekstrabladet.

Thai basement massage clubs (some, though not everyone, marked with no. 10 on the map)

There are Thai massage clubs in many places, as you'll see from the evening paper advertisements. In the western part of town, you can find many of these places directly, they usually have a red light in a basement window. Find and check out these streets for example: Oehlenslagergade (3-4 places, most close to Sonder Boulevard), Sommerstedgade 26, Flensburggade, Dannebrogsgade (not sure if this one is still there), Dybbolsgade (close to Oehlenschlaegergade), Valdemarsgade (close to Istedgade), Ingerslevsgade 110 (somewhere close to Godsbanegade). The last four are not marked on the map. I only know a very few places in other parts of town, but check the advertisements in the EkstraBladet evening paper.

Also check out the Thai Corner bar in the corner of Istedgade and Gasvaerksvej. Looks like some kind of meeting place.

Meeting places

Kakadu (11)

Colbjornsensgade, close to the Central Station. An exclusive and classic meeting place for having a drink or two with a nice, experienced lady - before you maybe decide to go somewhere else (like to a hotel) for some nice, sophisticated activities. Opens at 9 PM, but sometimes most beauties arrive between 10 and midnight. 80 DKK entrance. 80 DKK extra if you leave the place together with a lady (it's her wardrobe fee). Expensive drinks, and it's not popular to leave the place together without having had a few of them. Can still be worth it.

Love Lady (12) (former Bunny Bar, former Xanadu, former Hollywood)

Helgolandsgade, close to the Central Station. The old club Xanadu used to have the same concept and reputation as Kakadu, maybe just a bit cheaper. This club has recently (February 2005) been turned into the Bunny Bar, the entrance texts say they have strip shows, bar etc. Not sure if it's still a "meeting place" too.

Also see Maxim above.

Topless Bars

Club 34 (6)

See above under Massage.

Non Stop (13)

Sorry - closed early 2011. The last place with cabins where you could bring a girl in is history.

Top less bar with one Danish girl. Light beer. Ask for a "fraekoel / Naughty Beer" - you've never got a beer served this way before! Video cabins. Four cinemas. Allowed to bring a lady (not the one behind the bar desk) into the cabins, even though ladies are not allowed to make contacts inside the club. The cabins are quite filthy these days, but it's almost the only place allowing couples in the cabins now.

Other / unclassified

Leslee Night Club (14)

Viktoriagade, just around the corner from the big street Vesterbrogade. A few minutes walk from the Central Station. Same entrance (?) as a hotel on the corner of the house. Not sure whether this is a strip club, or a meeting place like those described above, or both, or nothing anymore. Just ask at the reception desk. (Curiosum: The place also used to include one of the town's oldest meeting place bars with sophisticated ladies until summer 2004, when it was turned into the Vela Gay Bar.)

Some examples of video cabin clubs

Kingosgade (15), Vesterbrogade 98, Abel Cathrinas gade (17) , Non Stop club (13) at Istedgade.
