Established in 1989, Rust, Spillested & Natklub is simply referred to as Rust. Situated in the trendy north section of the city, also home to art galleries and bistros, Rust attracts a high-energy, international clientele. The space offers a restaurant, an outdoor yard and bar, a large free-style dance floor, and simple furnishings. Presenting live music every Thursdays, Rust provides dim lighting with hip hop and R&B on the main dance floor, and a small lower lever with a classic disco floor playing electronic music. Open Wednesday through Sunday to a 21 plus crowd, the covers are relatively pricey, but once inside there's a refreshingly laid back vibe.
