The Jane, Copenhagen
Mad Men–style speakeasy meets late-night dance floor in a warren of hidden rooms, leather sofas and cocktail-fuelled energy beneath central Copenhagen.
Tucked beneath the cobbles of Gråbrødretorv in Copenhagen’s historic centre, The Jane is a moody, Mad Men–inspired cocktail bar and nightclub where speakeasy charm meets high-energy dancing. Step past bookshelves and velvet chairs into a warren of low-lit rooms, hidden doors and multiple bars, then follow the beats toward a compact dance floor where DJs spin into the early hours. It is a late-night den for crafted drinks, flirtatious lighting and an intimate, party-ready crowd.

Local tips
- Aim to arrive before midnight if you want time to explore the different rooms and settle into a good spot before the dance floor fills up.
- Dress smart-casual, especially for men, as door policies can favour sharper outfits and well-presented groups on busy nights.
- Bring a physical photo ID; security routinely checks age and identification at the entrance, even for older guests.
- If you prefer conversation over club volume, plan to come early in the night and gravitate to the side rooms away from the main DJ booth.
- Have a backup plan nearby on Gråbrødretorv in case of private events or full capacity on peak Friday and Saturday nights.

Mad Men glamour beneath a medieval square
Hidden below street level on Gråbrødretorv, The Jane feels like stumbling into a mid-century apartment party that never quite ended. Dim lamps pick out the gleam of dark wood, leather and brass, and the first thing you see is a long bar framed by backlit bottles and bartenders in constant motion. The space stretches over roughly 340 square metres, but its layout of smaller rooms keeps everything feeling intimate rather than cavernous. The inspiration is pure mid-century drama: think heavy curtains, framed art and a hint of tobacco-stained nostalgia, without feeling like a museum set. You are in the heart of Copenhagen’s old town, yet once you have descended the stairs, the city noise above blurs into a distant hum and the soundtrack becomes clinking glassware and basslines.Bookshelves, secret doors and tucked-away corners
One of The Jane’s signatures is the way its interior reveals itself slowly. At first there is the main bar and fireplace, then, as you move further in, you notice the Chesterfield sofas, plush armchairs and walls lined with bookcases. Some of these shelves are more than decoration: during the night, panels swing open to uncover hidden passages and additional bars tucked further inside. These smaller rooms let you choose your own tempo. You can sink into deep chairs for long conversations over cocktails, or lean at the bar watching ice, shakers and garnishes fly past. Lighting stays low and flattering throughout, creating the sort of shadows that make even a crowded room feel a little conspiratorial.Cocktails, bottles and a bar that knows its craft
The Jane operates both as a cocktail lounge and as a full-throttle club, and the drinks menu reflects that range. Classic cocktails arrive in heavy glassware with careful garnishes, while spirits, mixers and cold beers keep the energy up as the night moves along. Bottle service, complete with theatrical presentations of ice buckets and sparklers, adds a dash of celebratory spectacle around the VIP tables. Prices sit in the moderate range for central Copenhagen, making it possible to work through a few different creations without breaking your evening budget. Thoughtful bartending is part of the appeal here: the bar is set up for speed once the DJ starts to peak, but early in the night there is time to talk flavours and preferences if you are curious about what to try.From low murmur to packed dance floor
Arrive on the early side and the atmosphere is more salon than nightclub, with couples and small groups warming up for the evening. As midnight approaches, the DJ takes over and the character of the place tilts toward a compact but lively dance floor where commercial beats, house, pop and remixed favourites keep people moving until closing. The crowd skews young adult and leans toward people out specifically to make a night of it rather than just a quick drink. Dress codes tend toward smart-casual: collared shirts and neat shoes are the norm for men, while women have plenty of scope for playful, urban looks that still feel put-together. By the time the early hours roll around, the rooms are usually humming with movement and conversation.Atmosphere, quirks and things to know before you go
The Jane’s character sits somewhere between speakeasy, private living room and club, which makes it particularly suited to groups of friends and late-start evenings. The multi-room layout means you can step away from the speakers for a breather without leaving the venue, and the hidden-door gimmick adds an element of playful discovery as the night unfolds. Being in the old town, spaces can feel cosy rather than sprawling, and it is very much a nighttime destination, with doors typically opening late and closing in the early morning. Expect dim lighting, music at a volume more suited to dancing than deep conversation once the DJ is in full swing, and a festive, urban energy that fits its central Copenhagen setting.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
