Pan Club Copenhagen

While people of almost all age groups came to the club, it was most popular with younger gay men and lesbians.

It also attracted a heterosexual crowd, and in periods it was one of the more fashionable places to go in Copenhagen with many celebrities visiting the club.

The club was originally run and owned by LBL (now, LGBT Denmark), the Danish national organization for gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

This generated negative comments from members of the homosexual crowd who, while generally being welcome to heterosexuals, also wanted to keep the place a gay club.

In Denmark it is illegal to restrict access to a club to people of a particular sexual orientation.

However, a few days later the club announced that it was shutting down, citing a decreasing number of visitors as the reason.

In 2009 private owners opened a new LGBT nightclub in Aarhus inspired by Pan Club in Aarhus and Copenhagen, called G-Bar (short for Gay-Bar) with a smilair logo as the Pan Clubs.
