Oscar Bar & Cafe

I had a great time at this LGBTQ welcome to all cafe. From the moment I entered, I was welcomed and explained how things work. You ordered your food and drink at the bar and then went and had a seat. The atmosphere was quaint and upscale for a cafe. The food was phenomenal.

If you’re looking for a spot in Copenhagen that feels like a warm hug with a side of great people-watching, Oscars Bar & Café at Regnbuepladsen is the one. Located right in the heart of the city near City Hall, it’s a legendary LGBTQ+-friendly staple that manages to be both a lively social hub and a chilled-out retreat. The first thing you’ll notice is the atmosphere. It’s unpretentious and genuinely welcoming. Whether you’re sitting inside amidst the cozy, classic café decor or snagging a coveted table on the terrace, the energy is consistently ‘hygge.’ It’s the kind of place where you can spend three hours nursing a coffee and a book, or kick off a big night out with a round of cocktails. The menu is a solid mix of Danish comfort and café classics. Based on my visits their burgers and club sandwiches are hearty and reliable. As are the excellent coffee for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, but as the sun goes down, the cocktails take over. They are well-poured, fairly priced for Copenhagen, and served by a team that’s famously friendly and quick with a recommendation. What earns 5-stars is the service. In a city that can sometimes feel a bit ‘cool and detached,’ the staff here are a breath of fresh air; chatty, inclusive, and efficient. If the weather is even remotely decent, sit outside. Regnbuepladsen (Rainbow Square) is a beautiful, open space with a great view of the city’s architecture and a fantastic cross-section of Copenhagen life passing by. Whether you're part of the community or an ally, Oscars is a soulful, must-visit landmark. Definitely a highlight of my trip! If this was helpful, please ‘Like’!

I have been visiting Oscar for 5 years-ish, amazing staff throughout, great food and a good vibe from the other customers. From 11AM to 6PM it's mostly a café, but on weekends it becomes more of a bar vibe after that time. Come and see for yourself!

Had the lunch special. White asparagus with shrimp and hollandaise sauce on toasted bread .... Delicious. And highly recommend the alcohol free ginger beer!

Had the club sandwich, omelette and pancakes. Definitely a 10/10. All of it was delicious and probably the best brunch we’ve had while visiting Copenhagen.
