Discover more about Floss Bar
From Punk Temple to Dive Bar Institution
Floss occupies a unique place in Copenhagen's cultural memory as a former temple of Danish punk rock during the 1980s. That rebellious spirit lives on in its current incarnation as the city's most celebrated dive bar—a place where authenticity trumps polish and affordability reigns supreme. The venue's transformation from music venue to casual drinking establishment has only deepened its legendary status among locals and visiting barflies who prize genuine character over trendy aesthetics.The Unvarnished Floss Experience
Walking into Floss means stepping into a world deliberately stripped of pretension. The bar operates with gruff, no-nonsense service that many visitors find refreshingly honest compared to Copenhagen's more polished establishments. The atmosphere is deliberately rough around the edges—this is not a place designed for Instagram moments, but rather for authentic human connection over affordable drinks. The crowd reflects Copenhagen's diversity: locals nursing cheap beers, international travelers seeking the real city, and a rotating cast of characters who have made Floss their regular haunt.Games, Music, and Late-Night Culture
Downstairs, pool tables, dart boards, and fussball tables provide entertainment and social focal points throughout the evening. Rock music forms the sonic backdrop, maintaining the venue's connection to its punk heritage while creating an energetic, unpretentious environment. The bar's late opening hours—operating until 2 AM every night—position Floss as the ultimate "last call before home," a role it has perfected over decades of serving Copenhagen's night owls and after-hours crowd.Legendary Value and Happy Hour Deals
Floss has built its reputation partly on jaw-dropping affordability. During happy hour from 10 PM to 11 PM, the bar offers two Guld Tuborg beers for 27 DKK on weekends, making it possible to drink well for less than the cost of a coffee elsewhere in the city. Regular beer prices hover around 25 DKK, and the bar's commitment to cheap drinks remains unwavering. This pricing philosophy has made Floss a pilgrimage site for budget-conscious travelers and locals alike, proving that exceptional value and authentic character can coexist.Location in the Heart of Copenhagen's Old Town
Situated on Larsbjørnsstræde in Indre By (Copenhagen's Inner City), Floss sits within walking distance of major transport hubs and the city's most historic neighborhoods. The location places it among centuries-old architecture and narrow medieval streets, yet the bar itself remains deliberately unadorned—a stark contrast that underscores its commitment to substance over style. This positioning in Copenhagen's cultural core makes Floss accessible to both tourists and residents navigating the city center.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
