    Loved the bar. We were looking for a punk rock bar in Cologne and this was our favorite. Really cool vibe, especially on the weekend. DJ spinning actual records was very neat. Bartenders were super nice.

    Small but really, really nice venue for live music! the sort of place you want to visit and support if you’re into alternative or less popular music

    One of the best punk bars I know in Cologne and a lot of cool people hanging around here. It is kind of a small location, but that even gives the events here a special atmosphere.

    Went for some beers late on a Thursday. The place was almost empty and that was great because we were 10 and the place is not very big. Beers were cheap and the waiters were nice. The place's aesthetic is singular, full of stickers on every wall. Music was nice

    Went there on a Wednesday night as Google said it was open but it was completely shut and locked up. Waste of time. I'm guessing it's only open when there's a gig on?

    The indoor stage area is really small, like standing room only for about 20 people or so, with a bar off to the side. However, that made the concert more intimate in my opinion. The outdoor area is nice and relaxed, with tables and chairs and sofas and stuff, but if you go out with a really big group (think 6+) the venue in general might be too small for you. Even so, awesome experience with friendly staff and good music selection. You will see some cool art murals walking from the train station to the venue.

    Very short concerts with entry price. Small but fine place. The sound could be so much better. Popping audio and instruments way over the voices

    Zum ersten Mal da gewesen. Mit Sicherheit nicht das letzte Mal. Super nette Leute da. Der Laden ist winzig. Mit 100 Leuten schon fast ausverkauft. So muss das sein. Besser als jedes Konzert in riesen Hallen. Absoluter Tipp. Bier und andere Getränke zu fairen Preisen. Man fühlt sich direkt wohl. Irgendwie richtig!

    Toller und lustiger Laden Karaoke till Death war absolut Hammer wirklich für jedermann was 14 € eintritt und mega abgefeiert nicht das letzte Mal auf dem Event.!!!! Toiletten könnten wirklich etwas mehr Hygiene ab bekommen aber an der Bar draußen sowie drinnen wird man höflich und schnell bedient keiner bleibt durstig.

    Great venue, friendly people, great Kolsch and great music 🎶

    As a music venue, this place is only suitable for very small bands and artists. It gets crapped very quickly, lessening the enjoyment of a concert severely.

  • 5/5 Abi R. 1 year ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Don't go there very often as an out of town visitor to Koln. It's some good old fashioned live music fun with cool and colourful regulars and newbies alike

    Wir (4 Personen) sind heute zum ersten Mal dort gewesen und waren alle beeindruckt. Das habe ich noch nicht erlebt. Du kommst rein, fühlst dich sofort wohl und empfängst nur positive Enegie. Ich hätte mit U Boot auf dem Kopf rückwärts durch den Laden tanzen können, es hätte niemand komisch gefunden. Alle waren mit sich und allen anderen im Einklang. Die Bedienung war so freundlich und wertschätzend, danke dafür. Sie hat mich (obwohl ich betrunken war) in allem so ernst genommen. Das hat mich sehr berührt Und der DJ einfach grandios. Danke für diesen unvergesslichen Abend. Wir kommen wieder.

    If felt very college with stickers all over the walls. There was live music and a fee when I went, but that's not always the case. It was a vibe if that's your thing

🫤 My husband and I went for some coffee and cake. The waiter put 2 small cups of beer on the table without us asking for it. I told him I didn't want beer. "He said in Germany you drink beer". I said I really don't want beer but he continued to insist and left it so I thought he was giving it to us i...
