                <description><![CDATA[You might remember the TV advert that claimed ‘the Danes hate to see it leave’ but they certainly don’t mind offering visitors the chance to drink it in their city. The tour offers some of the cheapest pints in the city as, after a brief look round, you can drink for an hour for free. The catch – it’s open until 4pm, so getting your money’s worth may feel a little indecent!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[One of the oldest bars in Copenhagen (has existed since 1917!). It has lots of atmosphere due to the dim lighting, its red wallpaper and jazz on the stereo. The clientele is a mix of old regulars and young people. A place where it's hard not to get into conversation with the person next to you.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Great boutique hotel near centre of town. Conceived as promotional project for VW, 21 international designers and urban artists were briefed to design unique rooms. Result is a strange and otherworldy experience. Highly recommended, staff are helpful and breakfasts terrific - served on day beds/sofas in funky foyer. Click onto website to see all the rooms. Even if you don't choose to stay, you must try the cocktails in the ground floor bar/restaurant which is open to all.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A fantastic little bar/cafe with some of the strangest decor I've ever seen - peculiar taxidermical creations dressed in human clothing, which are created by artist Filip Jensen. A short walk from the town centre it is not full of tourists but has a pleasingly mixed clientele of students, the arty and locals.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is a very lively bar in the city centre and it's the cheapest place we found, by a mile - £1.50 to £2.00 a pint.  It tends to be full of students, but if you want to avoid irritating tourists, it's a good bet!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Cafe/bar/restaurant - a well known Copenhagen hangout off the main drag for brunch and at any time - not posh, reasonably priced, with decent food, good beers, great bohemian crowd and atmosphere (always great looking crowd!! - but you are in Scandinavia!) so, students, old folk, artists, trendy types - usually all locals etc.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[There are lots of places to get a decent beer in Copenhagen, from bars to cafes, bodegas to basements, but there aren't many places with something other than Carlsberg and Tuborg on tap.  <br><br>The Lord Nelson is a relatively new bar in a cosy basement on Hyskenstræde, just off Strøget. They have many different beers from micro-breweries all over Denmark, including dark and fruit beer. Definitely the place to go to break away from the city wide lager monopoly.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Ten years ago all the bars in the Vesterbro neighbourhood were much like this. Kitsch, old-fashioned and rough around the edges.<br>McKluud (the name comes from the 70's series McCloud) is one of the few bars that has survived the trendy development of the area. Here the old locals sit alongside the young, artsy-fartsy types. A bottle of unfashionable but cheap Albani beer seems to be a symbol of unification between the generations. Play billiards in the back room, too.]]></description>

                <link>http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3057</link>
                
                <description><![CDATA[Much has been written about the new, trendy bars that are springing up in Copenhagen's inner city districts of Vesterbro and Nørrebro. However, what is not mentioned is that many of them charge twice as much for a beer as smaller, unpretentious bars off the main streets. Many young urbanites are happy to pay 40 kr for a half litre of beer, if it means avoiding the oldsters in the bodega round the corner where the same drink costs 20 kr. However, these older people are often more colourful, friendly, and love to speak English.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The locals with hip tendencies stick to the surrounding neighbourhoods when they hit the town by night. In Vesterbro, at the far end of Istedgade, you’ll find the nightclub Vega with the accompanying Ideal Bar. Vega is the venue of choice of visiting bands and the nightclub hosts the touring DJs. Get there before 1am to avoid the queues that form after the cafés close at 2am.]]></description>
