Visitors praise Centralhjørnet for its lively atmosphere, friendly service, and historical significance as the world's oldest gay bar, with many enjoying the music, decor, and diverse clientele.

Used to be a gay bar - no more Still good vibe - if you enjoy smelling of smoke for days Expensive yet quiant
All in all, Centralhjørnet is a bar that truly celebrates diversity and community, and which continues to have an important place in Copenhagen’s social life. Visit it for a night filled with fun, good conversations and unforgettable moments. You can get all-world delicious cocktails and Mocktails, so don't fool yourself getting clean coziness, as the Central Corner is an experience worth remembering.
Very spacious and lovely place. Always get a good welcome and feel at home. It is a good place with good service, reasonable prices and the finest ornament
Almost a monument, the first gay bar in the world, dating back to 1917. Very quaint, small, intimate. Too bad, unfortunately, that inexplicably it is still allowed to smoke inside with a ventilation not up to par.
The oldest gay bar in the world. Very lively and the Christmas decorations were unique. Very nice staff and the entertainment on Sundays so much fun.
Visited the place 16 Dec. to get a glass of Gløgg and see the Christmas decoration. There were many guests and an incredible noise, well suited. I don't quite understand that smoking is still allowed inside. Good glowing and friendly but fast service. No time for a kind word.
A jewel of culture lgbt!!@!! Really to do and do again Music , atmosphere and clientele . Everything is perfect! Clean and well located
Exercise - a really practical bar has become a place where there is neither soul nor nerve - and if you get the gay egmet then you can't come out more for heterosexuals
What a cosy bar and so important to the community! We weren't aware that the oldest gay bar in the world was in Copenhagen however, once we were recommended, we had to visit. The bar is cosy with only a couple of seats but that wasn't an issue in the late afternoon when we visited and we managed to get a seat. The bartenders are all friendly and there is a very friendly atmosphere in the bar. I'd recommend visiting and supporting the oldest gay bar in the world!
Friendly staff and a beautifully decorated place, just a tad cosy and expensive. Definitely one to visit as it is so important to our community
