This bar was quite a nice experience. It didn’t look like much from the outside and you had to ring to get inside, this in turn led to the bar not being overly crowded compared to other places in Cologne on a Saturday night. We were promptly seated and got a cocktail menu that visually looked great and had us at multiple cocktails thinking „ok interesting!“ - not just the standard cocktails. They do the standard cocktails as well, just don’t have them listed on the menu - just ask for them. While our orders were taken quite fast the service to actually get the cocktails to the table was rather slow. We waited at least 20min on each order, which felt a bit long to mix three drinks, especially with three bar keepers. The drinks were both visually and taste-wise amazing. But they were small for a 12-15€ drink. Some felt like literally 5 sips and the drink is nearly finished already. Combined with the long waiting time we spend more time waiting than enjoying the (admittedly great) cocktails. Ambient wise the bar was great, they had a DJ and everything felt right. They even had an outdoor area which looks pretty promising. They had heat lamps so it was still OK to sit outside even in November. The restrooms were nice and clean, no complaints here. Overall a rate this for four stars. It’s nice if you want a relaxing night out, but know that you’ll wait and also will spend quite a bit of money. You have to decide if that is worth it for you.

The grid bar with its davidoff lounge is an absolutely awesome place for cigar smokers. Great selection of high quality cocktails and other alcoholic drinks. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience in the davidoff lounge area is great and well equipped. The only thing that i hope they have is coffee. I love my cigars with coffee but unfortunately they don't serve it here. Well, they're - a cocktail bar afterall. Highly recommended!

Extremely pleasant bar, the advice from the staff is friendly and professional, regardless of whether you have no idea about cocktails or are already familiar with the subject. The house drinks are unusual and a new experience for the taste buds. The classics are neat and tasteful. There is also a selection of spirits with a few treasures that you might not necessarily know.

The environment and atmosphere were great and they served cocktails with uncommon ingredients such as popcorn, bread or yuzu. Too bad the cocktail that I wanted to try (Sichun Panda) was available this evening because they couldn’t get the liquor.

The best bar in Cologne!

(Translated by Google) Great selection of cocktails that were really delicious. Nevertheless, the prices are really salted, especially in view of the small amount. Nice shop with a great terrace, fun to spend time there. (Original) Großartige Auswahl an Cocktails, die auch wirklich sehr lecker waren. Dennoch sind die Preise wirklich gesalzen, gerade auch angesichts der geringen Menge. Schöner Laden mit toller Terrasse, es macht Spaß dort Zeit zu verbringen.

The Grid is by far one of the best bars and smoking lounges in cologne. The bar has a Davidoff smoking lounge and in case you didn't bring any cigars of yourself, you can always buy them directly from a select range of Davidoff's. The staff is exceptionally friendly and will go the extra mile to make your visit even more enjoyable!

(Translated by Google) First tried: - Waited 15 minutes for the seat - Waited 40 minutes for the drink - Mini glass - hardly alcohol Quick out again and no recommendation from the restaurant ? (Original) Erste mal ausprobiert: - 15 Minuten auf den Sitzplatz gewartet - 40 Minuten auf den Drink gewartet - Mini Glas - kaum Alkohol Schnell wieder raus und keine Empfehlung vom Lokal ?

(Translated by Google) We were five people and looked for a quieter cigar lounge or bar on Saturday evenings after a totally crowded Cubabar. Thanks to Google Maps we quickly found what we were looking for. Completely inconspicuous from the outside we first had to ring the bell, shortly afterwards it was opened and we were politely asked to come in. The jackets were removed and stowed in a wardrobe closet. Already in the entrance area we noticed that it was not a normal bar but something special. With a lot of love and with a focus on the essentials, the shop was apparently set up here. Very tastefully classic-modern and with a nice selection of high-quality spirits as well as a Davidoff humidor, a DJ counter, a bar in the vaulted cellar style and an outdoor lounge, the shop is nicely equipped. The cocktails are a little more expensive, but we all had something special and also high-quality and delicious in front of us ... The cigars come from Davidoff and if you know something there is actually something for every taste. The advice and service was good. I or we would go there again. Thank you (Original) Wir waren fünf Leute und suchten samstags abends nach einer total überfüllten Cubabar eine ruhigere Zigarren Lounge oder Bar. Dank Google Maps wurden wir schnell fündig. Von außen komplett unscheinbar mussten wir erst klingeln, kurz darauf wurde auch schon geöffnet und man bat uns höflich herein. Die Jacken wurden abgenommen und in einem Garderoben Schrank verstaut. Schon im Eingangsbereich merkten wir dass es keine normale Bar war sondern was besonderes. Mit sehr viel Liebe und mit der konzentrierung auf das Wesentliche wurde hier scheinbar der Laden eingerichtet. Sehr geschmackvoll klassisch-modern und mit einer schönen Auswahl an hochwertigen Spirituosen sowie einem Davidoff Humidor, einer DJ Theke, einer Bar im Gewölbekeller Style und einer Außenlounge ist der Laden schön Rund ausgestattet. Die Cocktails sind zwar etwas teurer, dafür hatten wir alle was besonderes und auch hochwertiges und Leckeres vor uns stehen... Die Zigarren kommen von Davidoff und wenn man sich etwas auskennt ist eigentlich fast für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Die Beratung und der Service war gut. Ich bzw wir würden wieder hingehen. Danke

Of you are looking for a Cigar Lounge and High End Drinks crafted by Marian and team (some of the best the German Bar scene has to offer), this is where you head to. Extensive and well curated drinks menu and a small but fine Davidoff Cigar selection. Ensure to ask the top staff on what goes well with what - they will safely guide you through the many options (signature drinks, bottled drinks, spirits etc.). Beautiful interior design and a cool outdoor lounge which is heated - what a delight!

Delicious cocktails, competent and chatty waiters. Great ambience. Definitely a nice bar with charm in Cologne.

A great place to show off and take instagrammable pictures but in our experience not a place for good cocktails. As cocktail lovers, we went there on an exploration tour and were curious to discover the creativity. Of the 3 different cocktails we had, mine was the most interesting. However, it was nowhere near the quality - in terms of taste, balance, inspiration - that we know from other place (that are actually less expensive). Also, the odour from the outdoor (cigar!) smoking lounge didn't help our experience.

Decoration is really cool and looks upscale. Variety of drinks are pretty mich wide but somehow inside looks cold not very welcoming. Also music is higher at the terrace section but inside you can not really hear the music and this makes the atmosphere slightly cold.

The espresso martinis are below than expected according to price/taste ratio, still a worthy for the Atmosphere and attention to detail in a cocktail, rich in options but I wished to find a place to end the night unfortunately a drink and continue bar hopping place

(Translated by Google) Super nice bar, always solid and not too crowded (like all other bars on the friesenstraße). The drinks have their price, but are mostly also special and definitely super good! the ambiance is definitely worth it. Water and fish are always available, on request also a heater. now one of my favorite bars in Cologne ✌? (Original) super schöne bar, immer gediegen und nicht zu voll (wie sonst alle anderen bars auf der friesenstraße). die drinks haben ihren preis, sind meistens aber auch spezieller und auf jeden fall super gut! das ambiente ist es auf jeden fall wert. wasser und nüsschen gibts immer dazu, auf wunsch auch einen heizstrahler. inzwischen eine meiner lieblingsbars in köln ✌?

(Translated by Google) Great bar with great music. Soon I will have to try a cigar from the davidoff humidor (Original) Tolle Bar mit super Musik. Demnächst muss ich mal eine Zigarre aus den davidoff humidor probieren

(Translated by Google) High quality cocktails at reasonable prices (Original) Hochwertige Cocktails zu angemessenen Preisen

(Translated by Google) Great bar. It looks very nice, very pleasant atmosphere. Cocktails taste good. Man can also order cigars that are also tailored and expertly lit. The cool thing is, the bartender has both the cocktails as well as the cigars clue, takes time with the customers and is generally really cool on it. The only thing I noticed were the prices. Maybe they could be adjusted a bit. However, man feels like a guest of honor here. Again any time. (Original) Geile Bar. Sieht siq aus, sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Cocktails schmecken gut. Mann kann auch Zigarren bestellen die einem auch zugeschnitten und gekonnt angezündet werden. Das geile ist, der Barkeeper hat sowohl von den Cocktails als auch von den Zigarren Ahnung, nimmt sich Zeit mit den Kunden und ist generell richtig cool drauf. Das einzige was mir auffiel waren die Preise. Die könnten vielleicht noch etwas angepasst werden. Jedoch fühlt Mann sich hier wie ein Ehrengast. Jederzeit gerne wieder.

Great bar, lovely decor and amazing staff.

(Translated by Google) Sensational cocktails and very cool location. Recommended: Cocktail Blue Monday and the non-alcoholic cocktail with beetroot juice. The operation is very nice and every detail in the location has a lot of style. Applause ???? (Original) Sensationelle Cocktails und sehr coole Location. Empfehlenswert: Cocktail Blue Monday und das alkoholfreie Cocktail mit Rote Bete Saft. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett und jedes Detail in der Location hat sehr viel Style. Applaus ????

The cocktails, service and atmosphere are great. The only problem I have is some of the cocktails don't taste like they say they will. If you list brie and walnut on a drink... It should taste like that.

Interesting drinks, reasonably priced for the atmosphere, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere

(Translated by Google) So the ambiance and the atmosphere is really stylish and very welcoming. However, the very bad and especially small selection of cigars, nothing to do with a cigar bar, to do! Since I visited the bar for cigars, I will most likely, not appear a second time. On top of that, I have never drank so badly prepared cocktails. Apart from that, that the glass was decorated very loveless, the cocktail tasted of a ready-mixed from the Aldi. But the staff is very friendly and accommodating !! (Original) Also das Ambiente und die Atmosphäre ist wirklich stilvoll und sehr einladend. Allerdings hat die sehr schlechte und vor allem kleine Auswahl an Zigarren, nichts mit einer Zigarren-Bar, zu tun! Da ich die Bar aufgrund von Zigarren aufgesucht habe, werde ich höchstwahrscheinlich, kein zweites Mal erscheinen. Hinzukommt, das ich noch nie so schlecht zubereitete Cocktails, getrunken habe. Davon mal abgesehen, das dass Glas sehr lieblos dekoriert wurde, schmeckte der Cocktail nach einer Fertigmischung aus den Aldi. Aber das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend!!

(Translated by Google) Very nicely decorated, unusual drinks and good music and very friendly service. (Original) Sehr schön eingerichtet, ausgefallene Drinks und gute Musik und sehr freundliche Bedienung.

(Translated by Google) The Grid Bar is a great bar, with an extremely stylish concept, great drinks, a great cigar lounge and a good DJ. The drinks are a bit more expensive, which I think is appropriate due to the quality offered. The concept includes that you have to ring the bell from outside and be picked up at the door. I also found it very stylish. But that seems to deter many guests, at least the bar wasn't really full, which at least means that there was nothing going on on the dance floor. In my opinion, the bar would have deserved more crowds, but either the locked door scares off many or they don't understand the principle. All in all a great bar with a cozy courtyard. (Original) The Grid Bar ist eine tolle Bar, mit eine extrem stylischen Konzept, super Drinks, einer klasse Zigarren-Lounge und gutem DJ. Die Drinks sind etwas teurer, was ich aber aufgrund der gebotenen Qualität angemessen finde. Zum Konzept gehört, dass man von außen klingeln muss und an der Tür abgeholt wird. Habe ich auch als sehr stilvoll empfunden. Aber das scheint viele Gäste abzuschrecken, zumindest wurde die Bar nicht wirklich voll, was zumindest dazu führt, das auf der Tanzfläche nichts los war. Die Bar hätte aus meiner Sicht mehr Zulauf verdient, aber entweder schreckt die verschlossene Türe viele ab oder sie verstehen das Prinzip nicht. Alles in allem eine klasse Bar mit kuscheligen Innenhof.

(Translated by Google) Super establishment for a cigar and a whiskey, unfortunately a bit off the center but the 10 minute walk is worth it. (Original) Super Etablissement für eine Zigarre und einen Wiskey, leider etwas ab vom Zentrum aber die 10 Minuten gehen lohnen sich.

If you go to the Amsterdam Hilton, please visit. You can breathe and see the pleasant encounters of locals up close. The staff is comfortable and there is no discrimination against Asians. It seems that many women in the neighborhood use it as a meeting place.

The Grid Bar is without a doubt one of the best addresses for cocktails in Cologne. The service is really very nice and attentive. The cocktails were on point and excellent. The bar is very stylish and of high quality. You will also be picked up at the door and accompanied to the seat, which rounds off the experience in a high-quality way.

Great restaurant and bar in the heart of Cologne's Friesenplatz.

Step into a realm of timeless elegance at the quintessential bar for traditional gentlemen. Here, the ambiance is a seamless blend of old-school charm and contemporary comforts, underscored by the soothing rhythms of chill hip-hop. Each visit promises an unparalleled experience, highlighted by what many hail as the town's finest Old Fashioned - a perfect harmony of flavors that captivates the palate. Complementing this exquisite drink is the bar's crowning jewel: an exceptional cigar lounge, where the aroma of premium cigars lingers in the air, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and relaxation. It's not just a bar; it's an experience where every detail is curated for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

We were there on a Tuesday and were the only guests, which is a bit of a shame. The employees are very nice and the cocktails also tasted very good. Unfortunately it was a bit fresh.

The atmosphere is fantastic, and they serve top-notch cocktails and mocktails. You instantly feel welcomed in a friendly manner. Both the drinks and the team are exceptional, providing a next-level experience.

Unfortunately the service has become very poor. We always enjoyed coming here. The last few times we were very disappointed. Even after more than 10 minutes, unfortunately no one was interested in us wanting to order a new drink, even though we were sitting right at the bar. But the drinks were again very tasty. It's a shame that the service around the drinks is no longer good.

Absolute insider tip in Cologne. You are welcomed by the host, he sits you in a good place and tells you what the Grid is all about. We drank the gin-based Mr. Chow, which I can absolutely recommend. We also received professional advice when choosing a cigar because that's where we were hardly knew. Had a lovely evening there and would definitely come back! Top of the game!

Amazing bar with great drinks and whiskeys (can't say I tested anything non liquid here). The owner is clearly devoted to his art - and it shows. We had an amazing time and the next time I'm in Köln, I'm dropping by again! Thank you for a great evening.

Went to the Grid Bar for the second time last weekend and were completely thrilled. We were greeted at the door by a super friendly and accommodating host who then showed us to the table. Since the host was very knowledgeable, he was able to recommend the right drinks to us straight away. Great service, great ambience, great atmosphere, mega drinks and super attentive staff. Top!

It was much more than a cocktail tasting, but rather an invitation to another world in which all the senses were stimulated! It's just great how the owner told his story about his career! A great experience. We were there as part of a bachelor party. Can only recommend it 🍀💫

Went there late on a Saturday evening and the place was packed, but not unpleasant. We were initially offered standing room in the second row and were then allowed to take a seat at the bar a little later if we wished. Loud music, steady drinks and the hosts and hostesses were all very friendly and professional. Gladly again and greetings to Mr. Krause from the Palatinate ;)

A truly excellent cocktail bar! The cocktails are very playful and experimental, but absolutely great! You can enjoy a lot. The service of the staff is very exclusive and personal. If you want to have a relaxing evening, this is the place for you!

Nice bar with great service and drinks. Interior design is comfortable. Would like to see some good djs in there.

My absolute GO-TO when ever I'm in this lush city!! Even any requests for special drink orders have been fulfilled in a remarkable manner. You wanna enjoy tasty Davidoff cigars in a splendid framing...THIS IS YOUR SPOT ♡

(Translated by Google) Great bar, very pleasant location. Nice furniture in a kind of courtyard with sails above or open depending on the weather. Great cocktails and a high quality selection of cigars. As mentioned here several times, the prices invite you to enjoy the drinks. In terms of quality, the drinks deserve this, in my opinion. The audience was also very pleasant at the weekend. Current data acquisition analog or via QR code acc. the Corona rules. At the front of the door you are brought to the table, so a bit of a secret bar effect. (Original) Tolle Bar, sehr angenehme Location. Nette Möbel in einer Art Innenhof mit Segeln darüber oder offen je nach Wetter. Tolle Cocktails und eine hochwertige Auswahl an Zigarren.

Das Publikum war am Wochenende auch sehr angenehm. Aktuell Datenerfassung analog oder per QR Code gem. den Corona Regeln.

(Translated by Google) This bar is not a recommendation! We were six. The stools very uncomfortable and the table shaky and very small. The service was slow but tried hard. Out of 6 orders 4 was missing, no one liked it. Why were the other two good? Well it was gin and tonic, theoretically you can not go wrong. I had a drink from the Halloween card. It turns out that it was tequila with water and tonic. When I asked a lot for something was forgotten and it was brought to the table that I should add it myself. I did not get a new one. All glasses were very small so the price for 14 euros + it was far too expensive. The DJ was listless and did not really do anything, so the music was just as underground. After having had the drinks which took 20 minutes even though the store was virtually empty, we had to be vigilant to pay attention to pay. The waitress asked once in between if everything was ok, after my expression and shaking his head, she apologized. For me, she seemed to know how underground their drinks are. (Original) Diese Bar ist keine Empfehlung! Wir waren zu sechst. Die Hocker sehr ungemütlich und der Tisch wacklig und sehr klein. Die Bedienung war langsam aber bemüht. Von 6 Bestellungen war 4 mangelhaft, Niemanden hat es geschmeckt. Warum waren wohl die anderen zwei gut? Nun es war Gin und Tonic, da kann man theoretisch nichts falsch machen. Ich hatte einen Drink aus der Halloween Karte. Es stellte sich heraus das es Tequila mit Wasser und Tonic war. Als ich nachgefragt hatte viel auf das etwas vergessen wurde und es wurde zum Tisch gebracht das ich es selber hinzufügen sollte. Ich habe keinen neuen bekommen. Alle Gläser waren sehr klein so das der Preis für 14 Euro + es viel zu teuer war. Der DJ war lustlos und hat eigentlich nichts gemacht und die Musik daher ebenso unterirdisch. Nachdem wir die Getränke hatten was 20 Minuten gedauert hatte obwohl der Laden quasi leer war, mussten wir um bezahlen zu können energisch auf uns aufmerksam machen. Die Kellnerin fragte einmal zwischendurch ob alles ok sei, nach meinem Gesichtsausdruck und Kopfschütteln, entschuldigte sie sich. Für mich schien sie zu wissen wie unterirdisch ihre Getränke sind.
