As dutiful travelers we hit almost all the gay bars in Copenhagen. We were surprised that smoking is allowed in most of the bars. Even if they have a smoking area, it doesn’t really matter since it’s not enclosed. You breathe in and come out smoky. Denmark is a progressive, healthy country except for smoking. So Oscar stood out because of its large«terrace» on the Rådhuspladsen with plenty of tables and fresh air day and night, and no smoking inside. Oscar is a great stop for a morning/afternoon meal and coffee. Most of the time we came for happy hour and even returned after a few dinners. As expected, seating outside on summer weekends gets crowded… but the crowd is relaxed, the vibe chilled, the bartenders friendly, the staff cute, the house red a pretty decent Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, the music not too loud, the free wifi works inside and out. What more can I ask for? Maybe stocking Licor 43 as a digestif. That’s about it!

Perfect location for where we were staying and cute ambience but we ordered a Sex on the Beach and Oscars Cocktail and could not taste any alcohol in them. It felt like I was drinking processed juice. Do not come here for cocktails! Not to mention the bartender had to look at the menu while making our drinks. If you’re a bartender you should know the typical cocktails or at least put enough liquor in it.

Beautiful smoke free space. Stopped in after dinner for coffee with my husband and discovered that summer closing time is actually midnight rather than 11 pm as posted on Unilocal.Drinks were delicious and the service was very friendly. The crowd ranged in age and the music was lively but not too loud. Wish we had more time in Copenhagen to try the food and the weekend crowd.

Oscar’s Bar ist ein netter, unkomplizierter Ort für ein zwei Bier und Gespräche. Das Publikum ist sehr entspannt.

Nice relaxed gay bar in the center of Copenhagen !! I met here with a friend for a drink. As I’m new in CPH I didn’t know too much. It’s a very nice and pleasant bar. The music is not too loud, it is OK crowed, and the staff is friendly. I was here a friday and saturday and I will come back for sure. The audience is a bit on the older side but still OK. The positive thing: Non-smoking bar !!!

A nice modern bar with a great scandavian feel. A very chilled/laid back vibe. The food is nice and reasonably priced. But its more of a quiet conversation bar over a coffee/beer than your traditional gay bar. I’m mid-20’s and i felt it was aimed at an older clientele

Good beer selection. Great prices, and generous pours. The bartenders have excellent rapport and are knowledgable about the local restaurants. Even though they serve really good looking burgers here, they were also very honest and suggested what the best possible burgers to get would be.

I liked this bar — very close to Tivoli and train station and city hall. Very comfortable environment with great food and drinks. Enjoyed going there few times and checking out people.

Oscar is a classic watering hole in the Copenhagen gay scene. This is where you go in the afternoon for a coffee or meet with someone for dinner. The food is typical café food but with daily specials that changes from day to day. Later at night they turn up the volume for the music and dim the lights.

Tolle gay friendly Bar mit sehr gemischtem Publikum und sehr freundlichem Service. Es treffen sich hier viele Leute bereits tagsüber, für ein Feierabendbier oder den Start in eine lange Nacht. Zum Wochenende gibt es auch immer wieder mal DJs und Shows. Das Essen ist für Kopenhagen wirklich preiswert und lecker(waren bereits öfter dort und hatten auch öfter den riesigen Oscar-Burger mit leckeren kleinen gebackenen Kartoffeln: einer reichte für 2 und bei einem anderen Besuch sehr gut belegtes Smörebröd(gibt’s allerdings nur bis 16:00 Uhr). Außerdem gibt es ab 17:00 uhr eine Happy-hour, die für einige gezapfte Biersorten gilt.

A friendly and relaxed gay bar. Serves food in the afternoon, and the food is actually very good. Apparently becomes kinda busy around midnight, before that can be really empty. Very friendly staff.

Mittags gibt’s Burger, Sandwiches und Steaks, abends anscheinend noch mehr. Die Preise sind Kopenhagen-typisch extrem hoch, das Essen ist nichts wirklich Besonderes, aber der Laden ist ganz schick.
