Local tips

  • Plan to share one shisha between two to four people; it keeps the experience social and makes the moderate pricing feel especially good value.
  • Arrive earlier in the evening on weekends if you prefer a quieter corner, as the lounge grows busier and smokier after 21:00.
  • Ask staff for flavour recommendations or mixes if you are new to shisha; they can suggest milder, smoother options for beginners.

Oriental lounge atmosphere in the heart of Odense

Casablanca Lounge Cafe brings a slice of Middle Eastern café culture to Kochsgade, a short way from Odense’s central streets. Step inside and the first impression is warmth: low lighting, patterned cushions, dark woods and the low murmur of conversation layered over soft background music. It feels more like a living room than a bar, with people drifting in and out through the afternoon and long into the night. The shisha element defines the space. Pipes sit ready on side tables, hoses coiled, charcoal glowing, while sweet-scented clouds drift toward the ceiling. The room is arranged around small groups rather than a single bar counter, encouraging long, unhurried conversations. It is a place to settle in rather than rush through.

Shisha flavours, drinks and a casual food offering

Casablanca built its reputation on hookah, with a rotating mix of classic and more playful flavours. Expect staples like double apple, mint and grape alongside sweeter blends with berry or tropical notes. Staff are used to guiding first-timers, explaining strength, smoothness and how often the charcoal is refreshed, so you are not expected to be an expert. Alongside the pipes, the café serves a range of non-alcoholic drinks, from soft drinks and juices to teas and coffees. On busy evenings, trays shuttle between tables with mocktails and hot drinks, and there is usually a small selection of bar-style snacks or light dishes. The emphasis is on sociability rather than fine dining, so think of the food and drinks as companions to the main event: talking, playing cards or sharing a game.

Design details and upstairs retreat

The interior has been steadily renovated, including an upper floor that expands the lounge into a more colourful, contemporary space. Downstairs retains a moodier, classic shisha-bar feel; upstairs you may find brighter colours, fresher finishes and more open seating, designed to host larger groups while still keeping things intimate. Look for small decorative touches that hint at North African and Middle Eastern influences: lantern-style lights, patterned textiles, and framed motifs along the walls. It is not a historical re-creation so much as a modern Odense take on the shisha café, tuned to feel comfortable for an evening of relaxed hygge.

Social hub for groups, students and late nights

Casablanca functions as a social anchor, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. Students drift in after classes, local friends meet for a long catch-up, and small celebrations quietly take over corner tables. The atmosphere is generally laid-back and talk-focused rather than loud or dance-oriented, making it an easy option for mixed groups and those who want background music without a full nightclub environment. Board and card games sometimes appear on tables, and it is common to see people sharing a single pipe among several friends. Solo visitors are not out of place either; laptops and books occasionally appear in earlier hours, though the space transforms into a more purely social lounge as the evening wears on.

Odense evenings and practical details

Casablanca typically opens from early afternoon, running through to midnight most days and later into the small hours at weekends. This makes it a flexible stop: a mid-afternoon hangout on a grey Danish day or a final, unhurried stop after dinner elsewhere in the city. Lighting grows softer as the evening progresses, and the steady soundtrack of mellow beats keeps the energy calm but alive. As a shisha café, smoke is part of the experience, so the air is scented and hazy when busy; those sensitive to smoke may prefer earlier, quieter hours. Prices sit in the moderate range for Odense: shisha is usually shared, spreading the cost across a group, while drinks remain accessible enough for students. For many locals, it has become a familiar fixture of Kochsgade evenings, offering a distinct alternative to traditional bars and pubs.
