Café Sappho is a café primarily for women. We offer a relaxed, informal atmosphere in safe and discreet surroundings - an alternative to the established café's and discos - women can come here alone…and you can come as you are…
You'll find us in Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city, in the peaceful end of Mejlgade: Go to "Nørreport" - cross the street by "Café 8" and continue 75 meters down Mejlgade - On your left hand side you´ll want to look for the yellow sign and frosted windows...
Though Sappho is a café primarily for women, we must emphasize, that we also have male costumers who are very welcome. Currently, our male audience is mainly gay men, but provided Sappho´s status as a women´s café is respected, we also welcome straight men..
Why
Café Sappho?
Sappho was a Greek poet who lived 600 B.C. on the island of Lesbos, where she ran a school for young women - she wrote passionated poems and was pretty frustrated - as are we- which is why we on a daily basis refer to the place as:
ERNA’S TAVERNA
The Women's Information Centre is a Community centre supported by the City Council and has existed since March 8 1992.
Café Sappho is run by volunteers and everybody works for free.
The centre sprung from the old Women's House, which was closed in 1992. The cafe is quite small and situated in the ground floor of a residence building, which is why we can offer just one larger event per month. Otherwise we are open 2 nights a week - (Fridays and 1. and 3. Saturday). Check out Kalender and Sidste Nyt for more information.
