Copenhagen: Social Nightlife Pub Crawl with Shots & Games
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Pub Crawl Copenhagen · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Copenhagen nights feel more fun with a plan. This 4.5-hour Nørrebro pub crawl strings together five different bars with an English guide, then pushes you into a late-night club scene with a DJ.
What I like most is that the night isn’t just bar-hopping for the sake of it. You get four included shots, plus arcade time at a game-focused bar where you can play classic games like PacMan and Time Crisis. One drawback to know: only certain drinks are covered, so if you want to keep ordering cocktails or mixed drinks, you’ll need extra cash beyond the $37 price.

Why Nørrebro is a smart choice for nightlife

Nørrebro is one of those neighborhoods where local life and visitor fun overlap. That matters on a pub crawl, because you’re not just chasing tourist bars. You’re getting a mix of places where Danish nightlife habits feel normal, while you also meet people who flew in from everywhere.
This crawl is built around variety. You’ll hit different bar styles across the night, including a craft beer spot and a classic bar, and then you end somewhere loud and club-focused. That rhythm helps you keep momentum without spending the whole evening in one kind of venue.

Meeting inside Steel House (and getting there on time)

You start by meeting inside Steel House. Ask the reception for the Pub Crawl guide, who will be there from 8 to 8:30pm. Give yourself a little buffer, because you want to be present when the group forms.
Bring a passport or ID card. This is an 18+ experience, and the operator reserves the right to refuse entry for bad behavior. Also note the detail that it’s not suitable for people under 20. So if you’re near that age range, double-check you’ll be allowed in before you plan your night.
Stop 1: a craft beer bar with real happy-hour pricing

The first stretch of the crawl is all about getting into the Copenhagen bar mindset fast. One of the stops is a craft beer bar, and the crawl includes happy-hour pricing for three different beers there.
Why that matters: craft beer bars can get expensive if you’re buying multiple rounds at regular rates. Here, the tour gives you a controlled way to taste variety without the pressure of paying full price for everything you order. It’s also a good way to learn what kinds of beers locals actually pick when they’re out.
Stops 2–4: classic bar energy, plus the arcade game bar

The middle of the night is where you’ll feel the “pub crawl” part: multiple venues, different atmospheres, and an international group that’s ready to mix. You’ll visit around five unique bars total, and the tour is designed so the venues don’t feel repetitive.
Two standout ideas here are:
- a classic bar where the vibe feels more traditional, and
- an arcade game bar that turns the usual nightlife script into something playful.
That arcade stop is not just decoration. You’ll get an empty gaming card, and there are games from PacMan to Time Crisis, plus pinball and Crazy Taxi. If you’ve ever visited a bar and wished you could do more than just sit and sip, this part helps you connect with the group fast.
Playing PacMan, Time Crisis, pinball, and Crazy Taxi

Arcade time changes the tone of a crawl. Instead of everyone talking over music immediately, you get a built-in reason to laugh, trade turns, and compare scores. Even if you’re not a high-score person, it’s an easy way to break the ice.
And because you’ll have that empty gaming card, you won’t be stuck figuring out how payments work game-by-game in the middle of a busy night. The tour basically handles the “how do we do this” part, so you can focus on having fun.
This is also a smart stop for groups with mixed travel styles. Some people love nightlife, others prefer social activities. The arcade gives both types something to do.
The final shift: RUST Natklub, DJ energy, and free wardrobe

The crawl ends at RUST Natklub, where you’ll step into the club side of Copenhagen. This is the point where the night gets louder, and the tour leans into the DJ atmosphere.
What’s included here is a big deal: free entrance to the nightclub and a free wardrobe. In a cold-weather city, wardrobe matters. Coats add bulk, and having a place to store them without paying extra can make your night feel smoother.
You can also party until 4am, so this isn’t just a quick “look inside the club.” It’s an actual night-ending venue with a DJ, plus the tour includes photos of the night taken by the party guide.
One more thing: the experience also includes a show. The data doesn’t pin down the exact style of show, but it’s part of the evening program, and it fits the idea that the final venues are more performance-focused than typical bars.
Value check: what $37 buys you in Copenhagen nightlife terms

$37 sounds straightforward, but here’s what you’re really buying: structure, included entry costs, and a few targeted “extras” that would otherwise add up.
From what’s included:
- Four included shots
- Free entrance and wardrobe at the nightclub
- Happy-hour pricing for three beers at the craft beer stop
- An empty gaming card for the arcade games
- A guide and photos for the night
Most pub crawls sell you time and a guide. This one adds tangible items that reduce your out-of-pocket spending: nightclub entry costs and the wardrobe, plus shots. If you were planning to do a night out anyway—shots, at least one beer tasting, and club entry—this price is more about simplifying and bundling than about giving you unlimited drinking.
The main cost you should expect beyond the $37: additional drinks. The tour isn’t an open bar. So if you tend to order pricey cocktails or keep switching drinks every round, you’ll want to budget extra in advance.
The guide effect: energy matters, and names pop up in reviews

The guide isn’t a background detail here. They’re the person moving you between venues, keeping the pace fun, and shaping the group vibe. The best reviews emphasize enthusiasm and friendly energy from the guide.
If you’re curious about what that can feel like, some of the top praise includes guides like Alex and Meg. People highlight that the guide was upbeat, social, and made the night feel easy to join.
Even without relying on anyone’s name, you can judge the role: the guide handles the meetup timing, helps the group navigate the night, and captures photos so you’re not stuck taking selfies while your night passes.
Photos, wardrobe, and arcade card: the small stuff that saves your night

A few inclusions quietly improve the experience more than you might expect:
- Photos for the night: you get a record without interrupting the fun to trade phone-taking duties.
- Free wardrobe: fewer headaches, especially if you’re dressed for Copenhagen’s night air.
- Empty gaming card: reduces friction and keeps the arcade moment from turning into a logistics problem.
This is the type of tour where the “extras” are practical. They make it easier to stay social and stay in the moment, which is what you want from a pub crawl.
Who should book this pub crawl (and who should skip)
This crawl is a great fit if you:
- want a guided way to see multiple sides of Copenhagen nightlife without planning each stop yourself
- enjoy social nights with an international crowd
- like games and don’t want your evening to be only standing in lines and listening
- plan to end the night in a club setting, ideally until late
It’s less ideal if you:
- only want quiet drinking or seated dining
- are not comfortable with late-night club energy and DJ music
- expect unlimited drinks included in the price
Also, keep in mind the age rules. It’s 18+ and not suitable for people under 20, and entry can be refused for bad behavior.
Practical tips so you enjoy the night you paid for
Here’s how to make the most of it:
- Bring an ID or passport so entry doesn’t get awkward.
- Wear shoes you can walk in. You’re hopping between multiple venues over a few hours.
- Eat earlier if you can. Shots and late-night club time can hit faster than you expect.
- Decide your drink strategy. You’ll have shots and beer pricing included, but additional drinks are on you.
- Keep your ID handy for the whole evening. If you’re asked, you don’t want to dig through your bag in a busy club entrance.
If you go in with an open mindset about trying games and changing venues, the whole thing flows better. The payoff is that you’ll leave with stories from different Copenhagen bar styles, not just one blur of music.
Should you book Copenhagen Social Nightlife Pub Crawl?
I’d book it if you want a fun, low-effort way to get into Copenhagen nightlife with a plan: five stops, an arcade break, and a club ending with free entry and wardrobe. The price feels fair because the tour includes costs you would otherwise pay separately, like nightclub entrance and the chance to play arcade games without wrestling with setup.
I would skip it if you want a purely bar-and-beer evening with full control over every drink you order, or if you hate the idea of ending in a club environment late at night.
If your goal is a social night that mixes local bar culture with classic arcade chaos and ends in a DJ room, this one fits the bill.
