Local tips

  • Arrive around midnight if you want a lively but not yet packed dance floor; peak energy is usually between 01:00 and 03:00.
  • Bring a light layer you can easily carry—inside can get warm when the dance floor fills, but the air outside will feel cooler on breaks.
  • Expect a music mix heavy on ’70s–’90s and familiar sing-along tracks, ideal if you enjoy nostalgic party tunes.
  • Have cashless payment ready; most guests settle drink tabs by card, which keeps service moving swiftly at the bar.
  • Plan for a late finish: with closing around 05:00 on weekends, it is easy to lose track of time on the dance floor.

Classic late-night bar in the heart of Horsens

Hemingway’s Horsens sits on Hejmdalsgade in central Horsens, tucked into a city block that turns lively as the weekend hits. Behind the modest entrance, you step into a warmly lit disco bar that feels more like a familiar living room than a flashy superclub. The space is compact and intimate, with the bar running as the natural focal point and a dedicated dance floor drawing people in as the night progresses. This is a place that comes alive late. Doors usually open at 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and the closing time of around 05:00 means the atmosphere ramps up slowly, peaking well after midnight. It is very much a weekend venue rather than a weeknight hangout, designed for those long, unhurried nights out that stretch to first light.

Music, dance floor and a grown-up crowd

Hemingway’s has carved out a niche as a disco bar for adults, with a crowd that typically skews 30+ and appreciates familiar tunes over experimental DJ sets. Expect a solid mix of pop, rock and dance from the 1970s through the 1990s, sprinkled with more recent sing-along favorites. The playlist is geared towards people who want to dance, laugh and recognize nearly every chorus. The dance floor is central to the experience, and on busy nights it can feel pleasantly packed, with people squeezing in for another track before heading back to the bar. Lighting is simple but effective, combining colorful spots and club-style effects that keep the mood buoyant without feeling overwhelming. Even if you are not an avid dancer, the energy around the floor is infectious and draws you into the social buzz.

Cocktails, cold beers and bar-side conversations

The bar at Hemingway’s focuses on classic mixed drinks, spirits and cold draft beers rather than elaborate mixology. You can expect familiar long drinks, simple cocktails and shots served quickly to keep pace with the crowd. Prices sit in the moderate range for Denmark, making it feasible to linger for several hours over rounds of drinks with friends. Bar staff are very much part of the experience, chatting with regulars and newcomers alike. Many guests treat the counter as a social hub, alternating between time on the dance floor and conversation at the bar. Tables and seating along the edges give you somewhere to rest, people-watch and regroup before heading back out to dance.

Atmosphere, setting and occasional live events

The interior leans towards a cozy, slightly classic nightlife look rather than ultra-modern minimalism. You will find a mix of high tables, bar stools and open space, with décor that nods to traditional bars more than high-end lounges. This gives the place a lived-in charm that pairs well with its focus on a mature nightlife crowd. From time to time, special weekends feature themed evenings or live music, such as anniversary celebrations with bands performing late-night sets before the regular bar atmosphere resumes. On those nights the venue transforms into a compact concert space, with the stage area blending seamlessly back into the dance floor once the instruments are packed away.

Planning your night and making the most of it

Because Hemingway’s opens only on Friday and Saturday nights, it naturally slots in as the final stop on a night out in Horsens. Many guests arrive after dinners or earlier bar visits around the city centre. Crowds tend to grow from about midnight onwards, with the liveliest stretch often between 01:00 and 03:00. The venue is entirely indoors and well suited to Denmark’s changeable weather, making it a dependable choice year-round. Mobile reception is generally good, so it is easy to coordinate with friends. Expect a casual dress code: neat, comfortable outfits work perfectly, with enough layers to handle the warmth of the dance floor inside and the cooler air outside when you need a breather.
