HeadQuarters
A basement music venue that books emerging bands, local DJ sets, and the occasional touring act. The space holds around 180 people when packed, fewer when the crowd actually wants to move. Sound system gets pushed hard, so bring earplugs. The bar serves standard drinks at standard nightclub prices. Open Tuesday through Saturday, with showtimes rarely starting before 11 PM. Cover charge varies by event, usually 50-100 DKK.
