- Thursdays are karaoke night, ideal if you want to grab the microphone and dedicate a song to friends or celebrate a special occasion.
- Bring a small group and try one of the large shared cocktails, which are designed for multiple people and quickly turn into a focal point for conversation.
- Expect loud music and a standing, dancing crowd rather than quiet seating, so wear comfortable shoes and keep valuables in secure pockets or a small bag.
- If you plan a birthday or group celebration, contact the bar in advance to ask about reserving the smaller bar area and arranging drink packages.

A roaring basement at the heart of Odense nights
Hidden beneath street level on Klingenberg, Den Brølende And – the Roaring Duck – is a low-ceilinged basement bar that transforms into one of Odense’s liveliest late-night hangouts. You descend a short flight of stairs and step straight into a compact, dimly lit space built for one purpose: to keep the party going until the early hours. There is no quiet lounge corner here; the entire room is effectively a dance floor. Tables and benches double as improvised stages, and on busy nights it feels as if every surface is fair game for dancing. The lighting is simple but colourful, with spotlights and strobes cutting through the haze, and the soundtrack leans heavily on familiar hits that everyone can shout along to, from Danish classics to international pop.Music, karaoke and the joy of singing along
Music is the driving force of Den Brølende And. The bar specialises in big, crowd-pleasing tracks that are easy to sing, inviting entire groups to belt out choruses together. Thursdays are dedicated to karaoke, when the microphone is passed from hand to hand and the line between performer and audience disappears. It is intentionally unpretentious – enthusiasm matters far more than vocal perfection. On other nights, the staff often join in the fun, singing behind the bar and hyping the crowd between songs. The focus is on recognisable melodies, from nostalgic favourites to current party staples, making it easy for first-time visitors to feel instantly included. The result is a soundtrack that rarely dips, keeping the room in near-constant motion.Signature drinks and social fuel
The bar menu is built to match the mood: straightforward beers, shots and colourful mixed drinks that arrive quickly and keep the energy high. A signature feature is the large shared cocktails served in buckets or jugs, designed for groups to gather around. These playful serves are part prop, part social glue, encouraging strangers at neighbouring tables to mingle. Prices are generally accessible for a central Odense nightlife spot, which helps attract students and young professionals alongside groups of colleagues celebrating the end of the week. You will not find a slow, multi-course dining experience here; the focus is firmly on drinks that complement singing, dancing and long nights out.Private parties and group celebrations
Beyond regular opening nights, Den Brølende And also functions as a venue for private events. A smaller dedicated bar area can be reserved for groups, allowing birthday parties, student societies or work outings to have a semi-private base while still feeling part of the wider atmosphere. Decorations, customised playlists and drink packages can often be arranged in advance to match the occasion. This group-friendly setup makes the bar a popular choice for celebrations that begin with a more contained gathering and gradually spill over into the main dance area. It is particularly suited to people who value informality and shared experiences over formality or quiet conversation.Atmosphere, crowd and late-night rhythm
The mood at Den Brølende And is casual, noisy and distinctly carefree. Expect a crowd that skews young adult, with plenty of students, but also mixed-age groups who come specifically for nostalgic sing-along tracks. Dress is relaxed; comfort for dancing typically matters more than fashion statements. The bar usually opens in the evening but only really fills as the night progresses, with peak energy around midnight and spilling into the early morning hours. It is the kind of place that often becomes the final stop on a night out, where plans to "just have one more drink" turn into dancing until closing time.Location in Odense’s central nightlife grid
Set in Odense C, Den Brølende And sits within easy reach of other bars, pubs and late-night spots. Its basement position shelters it from the street, so you step from a relatively quiet city centre facade straight into full-volume music. Mobile reception is generally solid enough for meeting up with friends, and stepping outside for a breather takes you right back into the compact network of central streets. For travellers exploring Odense’s nightlife, this bar represents the city’s unpolished, humorous side: a place where you are encouraged to sing too loudly, dance too freely and worry about very little beyond the next chorus.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
