Floss holds a slice of Larsbjornsstraede in the Latin Quarter, and it earns its keep as the cheap, loud, unbothered end of Copenhagen nightlife. The place started life as a 1980s punk club and has never quite shaken the habit. For a city that prices a beer like a small loan, Floss is the rare honest dive.
The pitch is simple: low prices, late hours, and zero pretense. The European Bar Guide files it among the city's classic dives, a former punk haunt with graffiti walls and a basement that still feels like one. The crowd is students, locals, and travelers who worked out that a night here costs a fraction of the polished bars two streets over.
The layout splits across two moods. Upstairs is a worn cafe bar, a bit crackled around the edges, where you can hear yourself over a pint. Down the spiral staircase the basement turns into a Berlin-style punk room with graffiti everywhere, a pool table, and a football table, free to play.
The drinks are the whole point, and the price is the headline. Reviewers on Yelp clock single Tuborgs around 25 kroner most nights, with a weekend happy hour from 10pm to 11pm running two Guld Tuborg for 27 kroner. That is dive pricing in one of Europe's dearest drinking cities, so do the obvious math and stay a while.
Know what you are walking into on the air. Smoking is permitted throughout, so the room runs thick and the jacket comes home smelling of it. If a smoky room is a dealbreaker, this is not your spot, and there is no point pretending otherwise.
The soundtrack leans classic rock, the walls wear decades of marker, and the pool table sees more action than the bar some nights. It is unpolished on purpose, and that is exactly the charm. Come for the cheap round and the free pool, not for a cocktail list.
The bones of the punk club still show. Old gig posters, scuffed floors, and a basement that has clearly seen a few thousand late nights give it a lived-in edge no new bar can fake. That history is half the draw, the price the other half.
For the match, this is a maybe rather than a yes. Floss is a drinking-and-pool dive first, not a screens-everywhere sports bar, so do not bank on every game being on. Watch the football somewhere with a proper setup, then bring the post-match crowd here for the cheap pints and the pool table.
The crowd builds late and stays loose. It is a young, unfussy mix that treats the basement as a release valve, and the room gets properly busy after midnight on weekends. Earlier in the evening the upstairs bar is calmer and easier on the ears.
Best time to go is a late weekend hour for the full punk-basement effect, or hit the 10pm happy hour if the cheap round is the mission. Floss runs to a 2am close daily, so there is no rush. Bring cash and patience and you will leave with change.
Getting there is central and easy. Norreport station sits a short walk north with metro, S-train, and regional lines, and the whole Latin Quarter is walkable from there. Pair a night here with the rest of the city's under-the-radar rooms in our guide to the best hidden gem bars in Copenhagen.
This is the dive for a cheap, smoky, late night with a pool cue in hand, slap in the middle of the old town. For the wider lineup, see the full Copenhagen guide and our pick of the city's craft beer bars.
