Although Greenland has never been known as party central, the territory’s nightlife is growing nearly as fast as its economy. Nowhere is this more evident than in Nuuk, whose watering holes are all within walking distance of one another. This includes the capital’s oldest bar, Kristinemut, which has live music six days a week, as well as Sunday bingo sessions.

Most other Nuuk bars, like elsewhere in Greenland, are located within hotels. This includes the Skyline Bar, a piano and live music venue on the Hans Egede Hotel’s fifth floor. Typical beer selections include bottles of Carlsberg and Tuborg with the occasional Godthaab Bryghus on offer.

Nightlife is much harder to find outside of Greenland’s main city, but every sizable community will have at least one pub, discotheque, or spot for live music. Although pubs are part of many Greenlandic restaurants, patrons younger than the legal drinking age of 18 are not allowed to enter. During Greenland’s short summers, parties can last as long as the midnight sun is out.
