Drink

Not many options for having a long night out in Tønder, unless you hit the festival. But these places normally see a relatively large crowd, especially Friday and Saturday. Thursdays get busy sometimes too, but it is pretty much hit and miss.

  • Queens. Located just next to Cafe Victoria, this small club occasionally offers special events and gets quite crowded. The music is what you would expect, nothing great but makes for a decent night.(popular amongst gay)
  • Central Halle, a small bar popular with the old timers as well as the "gymnasium" students. Definitely the best place to talk to people and play billiards (not pool though!). Can get pretty rowdy at times and is often very crowded in the wee hours, or just after a party at the gymnasium has ended.
  • 1 Cafe Victoria. A good place to get some food and enjoy a couple of beers. Thursday from 10:00-23:00M as well as Friday afternoon is "Blaa Time" (Blue Hour), where beers are half price.
  • Sporten Closed.
  • Barkleys. After a couple of bad years Barkleys got a new owner and now is it the most popular nightclub/bar in the city centre. Always worth a visit!
  • 2 Cafe Engel, Frigrunden 3, +45 21824602. This small cosy cafe is a great place to relax and have a drink.
