  • The Wharf. Borgergade 16, tel: 98117010 has the best beer in town (same owner as Charlies in Copenhagen).
  • Jomfru Ane Gade is a short street with 30 restaurants/bars. Drinks are cheap and the bars are open late. You will see signs advertising 10 DKK drinks and 5am-10am happy hour.
  • Fedterbroed: a real underground place in Aalborg. Very good music in this hippie bar where local band play often and when you can always grab a guitar and jam with other costumer. The place is full of "different" people...lets say its the complete opposite of the above mentionned Jomfru Ane gade.
