Rex
Rex caters to an older, richer and more beautiful crowd than your average nightclub. It's a place where business deals are made over perfect cocktails, and where visiting celebrities can party in peace. Its three floors glow with rich red wallpaper, soft velvet seats and chandeliers.

Salt Lounge Bar
A lustrous bar-restaurant attached to the Radisson SAS 1919 Hotel, Salt is gloriously upmarket. It's all clean Scandinavian lines, low luxurious seats and soft purple-toned lighting - and they even bring the cocktails to your table. It's not a place to get raddled in, but maybe one for early-evening drinkies.

Sirkus
Our personal favourite, this kooky bar has dinky fairy lights, bus seats in the attic, an annual Tom Selleck Moustache Competition, and a loyal local following. DJs and bands play regularly, and there's a summer garden where you can snatch gulps of fresh air.

Thorvaldsen Bar
This understated modernist bar is ultraposh, from the fusion-style food to the clientele. There are DJs from Thursday to Saturday - dress up well or you won't get in, and after midnight be prepared to queue…and queue. There's a tiny dance floor, and 'theme nights' on Caribbean Wednesday, Mojito Thursday and Sushi Sunday.

Vegamót
Vegamót is another smart café-by-day, club-by-night - wear your best togs if you want to fit in. The buzzy balcony is a fine place to watch the fashion-conscious flocks. There are usually top DJs and a thronging dance floor. The minimum age here is 22.
