Copenhagen's cafés and bars, many of them half submerged in cellars or located in picturesque historical buildings, range from traditional to trendy and serve everything from gourmet food to Danish staples such as 'frikadeller' (meat balls) and smørrebrød (open sandwiches). Virtually all cafés and bars serve alcohol and food (brunch is especially popular here), and most stay open until very late, while some even transform into clubs with DJs playing on Friday and Saturday nights.
Copenhagen's discos and clubs do not tend to get really going until after midnight, so many clubbers choose to spend time in the city's super-hip pre-club bars. On top of this, many of Copenhagen's venues develop as each evening progresses, from bar to restaurant to club.
