Opened in the roar of the roaring 1920’s, Café Intime has always had a bohemian and nonconformist attitude. With live performances, loose behavior and cabaret behind colored glass, the whole place has a sort of indecent yet appealing vibe.

In years gone by, the cafe had private booths with tables installed, making it a haven for the city’s homosexual scene as well as a place where you could be lewd with your neighbors finding out.

Today it is a kitsch cabinet, complete with porcelain memorabilia, aging drag queens and a small gnarly looking bar pianist, playing Danish traditionals and schlagers. Jazz bands, drag queens and other live entertainment performs on a regular basis in addition to the ever-present pianist. The atmosphere is still very special and Café Intime remains an outpost for the outre within the bland and gentrified Frederiksberg.
