You'll find pubs in virtually every neighborhood. Our favorite is the Kong Valdemar Pub, Nørregade 5 (tel. 57-61-81-32), an antique-looking watering hole that has welcomed generations of drinkers to its paneled interior. Established in 1999, Crazy Daisy, Skt. Hansgade 31 (tel. 57-61-25-47; www.ringsted.crazydaisy.dk), is a two-floor drink and dance emporium that contains an active bar area, sometimes with live music, on its street level, and a busy dance club upstairs. Every night owl in town between the ages of 20 and 40 is likely to show up here to enjoy relaxed conversation and hot music. It's open only Friday to Sunday, 11pm to around 5am, charging a cover of DKK60 ($10/£6) per person.
