About

Masken Bar is a legendary fixture in Copenhagen's LGBTQ+ scene, located right in the heart of the city’s Latin Quarter on Studiestræde. As one of Denmark’s oldest gay bars, it’s a local favorite for queer folks of all ages looking for a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Open seven days a week, Masken is the perfect place to grab a drink, whether it’s a cozy beer in the afternoon or something stronger during the late-night crowd rush. The bar is busiest after midnight, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, when it draws a fun mix of regulars and visitors alike.

With its two-story layout, cheap drinks, and friendly staff, Masken offers something for everyone. You’ll find regulars chatting at the bar, lively conversations happening all around, and even the occasional impromptu dance party—despite the lack of a dance floor! The bar also hosts fun events like drag shows, Eurovision screenings, and even Pride street parties.

Whether you’re there for the laid-back atmosphere, to meet new people, or to enjoy their signature community spirit, Masken Bar remains a must-visit spot in Copenhagen’s ""gaybourhood"".

Masken Bar is hands down one of the best bars in Copenhagen, and easily my favorite! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff here are absolutely fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and always up for a good chat. Whether you’re a regular or visiting for the first time, they make sure you feel included and comfortable.One of the things I love most about Masken Bar is how safe and inviting it feels. It’s a space where everyone can be themselves without any judgment. Whether you’re coming alone, with friends, or meeting new people, you’ll find an open and accepting crowd that makes socializing effortless. The vibe is always lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect place to start or end a night out.Their drinks are great too, with a solid selection at reasonable prices, especially for Copenhagen. The music is always on point—just the right mix to keep the mood upbeat without being overpowering.If you’re looking for a welcoming, fun, and safe spot to enjoy a night out in Copenhagen, I can’t recommend Masken Bar enough. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s a must-visit place to experience the best of the city’s LGBTQ+ nightlife. Can’t wait to go back!

It's a really nice pub, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Emma in particular made us feel very welcome. We'll definitely visit again next time we're in Copenhagen. Very much recommended

It was a nice gay bar, steady supply of locals coming in and happy atmosphere. However the racism was palpable. Seems to not just be this bar but a larger issue in Denmark. It was deeply unsettling, never experienced anything like it in my life.

A very cozy bar with excellent service. The bar staff were very friendly on a Saturday night. My friend took me here early in the evening around 8-9pm and it wasn't busy but also wasn't empty. It's a small space but has two floors to accommodate quite a lot of people.

I can't find a place Campaign is full of people who are tired after a long day of eating pig and gin. A guard stands at the door and gives no chance to enter. Do not recommend this place if you are going to enjoy finding entertainment and friends better than a day at the beginning of the week. Bad weather and rain and water all over the streets and a lot of loud noise. Nasty place I have seen I recommend following the road to the pub by the boats and forgetting this dirty thing

Sad little bar, with 2 tiny floor space. One little bar area. People smoke inside and it has poor ventilation. My eyes water and my throat burns from being inside. It is also taken over by straight loud girls night out. (I don’t understand why gay man can’t have their own safe space anymore, and woman don’t organize themselves to create their own safe place if they don’t want to be bothered by straight man)… just like Cosy bar… I love straight woman, but please… I wanna go somewhere I can see and interact with gay people. Not that if you go there you will socialize with anyone there and meet new people anyway.It is now a sad little place in town.

Absolutely no frindly spirit inside the bar. Grumpy and arrogant bartenders, kids that just talk to them selved. 100kr for "cocktails" that are served so randomly and without any passion. They do not even knw to smile when serving. Copenhagen deserves better gay club. I guess this would be a standard somewhere in the middle of Jutland if they ever get to a momentum that someone actually opens one.Maybe in 50.years.This country us a joke and then some call it gay paradise. They is more fun in Saudi Arabia!!

Only here for a long weekend, but the bar is cozy, welcoming and the locals and barkeepers are fluent in multiple languages and very accommodating! See you next time! 😉
