Jomfru Ane Gade
Tourist brochures give Aalborg the moniker 'the Paris of the north'. Danish folk describe the scene as the only place in Denmark where you're likely to see a good, old-fashioned bar fight. The truth lies somewhere in between, but if it's a flirt, a drink or loud repetitive beats in the form of thumping techno, Euro-rock or house music you're after, trawl Jomfru Ane Gade, Aalborg's take-no-prisoners party street.
The venues themselves are pretty homogenous, so it's best to explore until you hear your kind of music or spy your type of crowd. Things are pretty tame early in the week (when the crowd of middle-agers dining along the strip may take you by surprise), but things…

Søgaards Bryghus
Every Danish town worth its salt now has a microbrewery, and Aalborg’s is a cracker. With a swank interior, loads of outdoor seating and a long menu of beer accompaniments, you could easily lose an afternoon or evening here sampling the seven different locals brews – favourite is the Jomfruhumle pilsner, followed closely by the Klosterbryg, a dark beer in the German style.

Irish House
It’s almost too beautiful a setting in which to get drunk, but we’re sure you can rise to the challenge if need be. Inside a 17th-century building loaded with timber carvings and stained glass, this cheerful pub offers live music Thursday to Saturday, decent pub grub fresh from the Emerald Isle and a big range of draught and bottled beers – and whiskies too.

Det Lille Ølhus
The Little Beer House sells interesting local and international beer - in bottles to take away, or on tap, to enjoy in the courtyard. There’s also a good array of picnic-worthy deli products on offer, and homebaked cakes too (which don’t necessarily work too well with beer, but hey it’s worth a shot).

Duus Vinkjælder
A superb way to cap off the evening is with a glass of wine at this smoulderingly romantic 300-year-old candlelit wine cellar in Jens Bangs Stenhus. If you can’t hear your lover’s sweet nothings over your rumbling tum, there’s plenty of traditional Danish food on offer here too.

Café Valdemar
The beach comes to Ribe! In the warmer months this place guarantees relaxation with its tropical outdoor furniture and a stretch of sand down to the gentle river, making it a perfect spot for lazy afternoon drinks. There’s plenty of grass and a kids’ play area, too.

Strygejernet
A small and cosy two-storey pub with a flatiron triangular shape – it’s a little slice of New York in Ribe. The top floor has just a handful of tables and looks out to the rådhus (look for storks!), or join the locals propping up the bar downstairs.

Industrien
Cool Industrien is a local favourite for its changing art exhibitions, live music, late, late hours (until 6am Thursday to Saturday) and thumpin’ burgers.

Paddy Go Easy
We like Paddy Go Easy for the real Irish accents behind (and often in front of) the bar, Kilkenny and Guinness on tap, and decent craic all round.

Ribe Bryghus Brewery
Look out for Ribe Bryghus locally brewed beers at restaurants and bars around town, or pop into the Ribe Bryghus brewery during its limited opening hours.
