About Masken Bar

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"".

With my friend in tow, we went to Masken on Friday evening to a recent visit to Copenhagen. What a fun bar! We first met Oliver, what a fun, charming young man. We laughed and shared stories about living the US and Denmark. We later met David, and another Oliver, and Mas. All engaging, charming which we enjoyed our chats very much. We went back Saturday afternoon and after dinner back for one more night cap on Saturday evening. We said our good byes and they gave us great big hugs as we left. We both kept talking about how everyone was so nice in Copenhagen! Thanks guys for the great times and memories! We will be back!

Love this place. I go there pretty much every Sunday. If you do not like the complementary Fernet Brancas - Life is Bitter. Just pass the next one on to me😉

First time in this bar. Arrived at 11.30 PM, the place quite full. 2 small spaces, 10up and the other down. Small tables are in the middle of the floor occupied with people sat on the tools around, this makes you difficult to reach the 2 bars. Once at the counter, you can see these bartenders which they dont consider you, they prefer to chat. And when they feel like to work, they serve you. Surrounded by danish only. No one smile, have a look or speaks with you despite I smile at people. Lucky an American arrived and we start make acquaintance with. Price of a draught pint is average but the quality is low as much as a metro station. Agent the drink we went away. The security guard so cold, unwelcomed. Deceived, my 1st and last time.

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.
