Åboulevarden
There are a few streets lined with wall-to-wall drinking dens: Åboulevarden is full of chic restaurant-bars and a savvy, fashionable crowd - drinks here don't come cheap.
-
Carstenskiold
The huge white lights, red sofas and long red drapes against a black background create an appropriately dramatic setting for the city's most fashionable crowd to 'see and be seen' (some locals accuse it of being up its own arse). DJs play lounge music of a Saturday night.
-
Frederiksgade
Frederiksgade gives you more boisterous English/Irish pubs than you can poke a pint at, all attempting to woo Århus' large student contingent with discounted beer and schedules of live music and jam sessions, televised sports, quiz competitions (generally in English) and the dreaded karaoke.
-
Ris Ras Filliongongong
The old lounges, vintage furniture and quirky tit-bits make Ris Ras (named after a children's nursery rhyme) feel like the lounge room of a cool local friend. A friend with a fridge full of Belgian and Danish microbrewed beers, no less. There's no food on offer, but you're welcome to bring your own. This place is small, intimate and friendly - get here early to nab a seat.
-
Royal Casino
If you're feeling the lure of the lucre, dress up and head to the city's only casino. It's in the Hotel Royal building (the cathedral is nearby should you need to repent later). It's a rather handsome environment in which to chase lady luck, but we wonder what they'd make of an entrance fee in Vegas?
-
Sherlock Holmes Pub
This is a real English rainy-day pub (perfect for Danish weather then), dim and cosy and with an array of live music, televised football and a Sunday-night jam session. You can pop next door to the Golden Lion for a good dose of English pub grub, too.
-
Skolegade
Overflow from Åboulevarden means a few chic places have spilled into nearby Skolegade, alongside intimate boozers and dive bars.
-
Social Club
Attracts students in droves, perhaps due to the ever-popular free beer (just for students) before midnight. Afterwards, the place turns into a packed and sweaty dance affair with plenty of trance and hard tunes.
-
Train
You know it must be good when it's voted club of the year (2007) by the Danish DJ Awards. Train is first and foremost a concert venue, with shows a couple of nights a week. Some well-established international names have played here over the years, from the Happy Mondays to Wolfmother via Bryan Ferry and Iggy Pop. Train opens as a nightclub, too, on Friday and Saturday nights, with room for up to 1500 party people and a serious DJ line-up.
-
Under Masken
The ethnic masks lining the walls and ceiling may leer and scowl but the real natives in this convivial little basement pub are friendly. The funky décor even extends to the fish tanks, decorated with sculptures, and the mood is relaxed and unpretentious.
