Located along Jomfru Ane Gade, the most famous bar street in Denmark, this bar is a favorite among locals, students, and visitors seeking an energetic start (or finish) to a night out. Its flamboyant name is echoed in its décor: tropical flamingos, neon signs, and vibrant colors create an unmistakably playful environment. There are multiple seating areas, from cozy corners to lively dancefloors, all designed to foster everything from effortless mingling to full-on dance sessions with strangers.

Expect music that’s built for dancing and singalongs, with DJs who know precisely how to keep the party rolling into the early hours of the morning. While Aalborg boasts a legendary nightlife culture, The Drunken Flamingo has become a byword for youthful energy and camaraderie, making it especially popular on weekends and during university term time.
