Hi some friends and I are visiting next week (Mon-Thur) and staying in a hostel. I was wondering does anyone have any advice on cheap places to eat and drink in Copenhagen? Any student places or anything like that?
Also any good nightclubs or events that will be on next monday tuesday and wednesday?

The typical cheap meal is kebab. You can get a döner for between 15-35 kr depending on quality.
There is also the concept of "folkekøkken" (people's kitchen) which are communal dinners where you pay a donation (typically 20-50 kr, but in some places you don't even have to pay anything) for a more filling meal. You have to google these to find one that's open on that day in your area and I'm sure you'll need to use Google translate.
Hi Welcome,
Have a look at the info in the sidebar
In terms of food, there are some buffet restaurants around the tourist areas where you can eat all you want for 90-100 DKK. You could have your main meal there, and just have a small sandwich from a supermarket (like Fatka) for your other meal.
Alcohol is expensive in bars (expect to pay 100 DKK for a cocktail), but you are allowed to drink supermarket alcohol outdoors, though it might be a little cold for this.
Is it frowned upon to drink outdoors though? Seems like it could be an idea to do in a park or something if the weather's not too bad.
LOL! Drinking outdoors is all Danes ever do in the summertime.
Not at all! I think it's a necessity given the cost of going out. I know it's illegal in many parts of the USA and UK etc. but the same doesn't apply in Copenhagen
Yeah, also even if it says no beverages on the metro and trains. You can drink, the controllers will not bat an eye so long as you are not smashing the bottle on the floor. Same thing with busses. Says no drinks, walked on with open beer countless times.
