Must-see nightlife in Greenland

  • Arctic Café

    Greenland

    Don't expect coffee and cakes at Qaqortoq's primary drinking venue. It's easily recognised by the yellow VW crashing imaginatively out through an upper…

  • Hønekroen

    Greenland

    This converted chicken farm is now an extensive bar, billiard hall and dance joint with live music after midnight Friday and Saturday. Low ceilings, dim…

  • Kristinemut

    Nuuk

    Wild-west themed with wagon-wheel ceilings, this was Greenland's first pub, made (in) famous in Lawrence Millman's book Last Places. It remains an…

  • Nasiffik

    Although calling itself a restaurant, this is really more of a café-bar where most of the clientele are drinkers enjoying the pleasant marinaside location…

  • Den Grønne Bar

    Greenland

    Huge windows overlook the runway at the bright and modern Grønne Bar, located at the airport terminal. During happy hour, from 5pm to 6pm, the drinks are…

  • Base Camp Café

    Greenland

    This is simply the appealing, sunny terrace of the tourist office, where you can get a coffee (Dkr5), soft drink (Dkr15) or chocolate bar.

  • Klubben

    Greenland

    A remnant from the American occupation, this lively place is dimly lit and ideal for an evening's heavy smoking and propping up the bar.

  • Ice Bar

    Greenland

    For a cool drinking experience, the Ice Hotel also has its own bar, charging Dkr55 for drinks in a glass made of ice.

  • Takuss

    Nuuk

    Skis and kayaks decorate this brass-railed pub which has a dance floor and live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

  • Mikisoq

    Greenland

    The fairly cosy bar of the Hotel Qaqortoq attempts to be something of a British-style pub.

  • Ini

    Greenland

    Quiet, small and daunting to enter despite a total lack of signs.
