Hard Rock Cafe Copenhagen
Vesterbrogade 3, København, Denmark, 1620
A going-out staple of the Danish capital since 1995, Hard Rock Cafe Copenhagen draws crowds of residents and visitors alike with its high-energy live music performances, American-inspired comfort food, cocktails, and wealth of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. Right in the center of town, it’s near many of Copenhagen’s top attractions.
The basics
Located in a sprawling space in the heart of Copenhagen, the Hard Rock Cafe is a popular stop day and night. Music lovers flock to the venue for live performances, which are held every Thursday evening, while food lovers come for the flagship burgers and other Americana-infused fare like nachos, chicken wings, and baby back ribs. Combined with the restaurant’s signature cocktails—from mojitos and mai tas to hurricanes and margaritas—it’s no wonder the Hard Rock Cafe has remained a Copenhagen staple for decades.
Booking in advance is advised if you plan to visit when live music is held. You can also pre-book lunch or dinner set menus online to make your visit hassle-free.
