Club Christopher

Club Christopher is one of Copenhagen's most characterful gay venues — a cruise bar and bears club that has been operating in or near the Studiestræde area for years and occupies a specific niche in the city's gay scene that the more mainstream bars on the street do not cover. The venue is emphatically not a design destination: the appeal is the darkroom facilities, the bear and cub community that has made it their anchor venue, and the specific social culture of a place where the dress code is checked flannel rather than fashionable. Club Christopher is at its best on weekend nights and during Copenhagen Fetish Week, when it becomes a central venue for the leather and cruise community's programme. For visitors familiar with bears bars in Amsterdam (Bear Bar), Berlin (Prinzknecht), or London (The Eagle), Club Christopher operates in the same tradition — a community venue for men who know what they are looking for, without apology or ambiguity.
