Kickerfabrik

Amusement center

👍👍 Beste Kicker Location in Köln. Zum August wurde komplett renoviert. Jetzt mag man sich dort auch gerne jenseits der Kickertische aufhalten zum trinken und unterhalten etc. Die Tische sind in Topform. Ich kenne in Köln keine besseren.

Wurst Willy am Ring

Snack bar

👍👍 Best Bar in Cologne, the staff is overly friendly and has their focus completely on their guests, could not ask for more. I‘ve been to many bars in cologne but this one beats every other one.

Nico's kneipe

Pub

👍👍 A small but nice pub. The owners are very warm and seem to have a big heart, also for Ukrainians. We will definitely visit this pub again next time we are in Cologne! A big “thank you” for everything.

Ansgar's

Restaurant

👍👍 Wir wurden von Ansgar und seinem Team freundlich und herzlich empfangen. Das Restaurant als auch die Außengastronomie laden zum Verweilen ein. Es erwartet einen eine kleine aber fein ausgesuchte Speisekarte die keine Wünsche offen lässt! Wir hatten Wiener Schnitzel mit Kartoffelsalat sowie Trüffelpa...

Kneipe " Die Oper "

Pub

👍👍 Very nice little Kaschämm in the heart of Cologne. More of a quieter kind of pub, only in the most positive sense. Perfect for conversations and groups. The beer is cheap and of course tastes good!

Mäurer Bar

Bar

😠 Mega the junkie station and leftovers beeps for the men The only bar that is still open and the music is so loud that you can no longer understand your own words. The main thing is that everyone is clean, no matter who or what. Not nice

Stadt Treff

Bar

😠 I'm still completely speechless. I've never experienced something like that in a Cologne pub. Oh, what am I saying... I've never experienced something like that anywhere in the world. You want to enjoy a delicious, cool Kölsch on a beautiful summer evening BUT you can't get Kölsch. WHY? Because only...

Agnesklause Inh. Oschmann I.

Pub

👍👍 Pub with the typical Cologne flair. Groups and neighbors from the Veedel meet here. For some it is the “living room”. In addition to various types of beer on tap, there is delicious food. The portions are large. My favorites are schnitzel with fries and salad and currywurst with fries.

Zur Kaiserin

Bar

😠 Very unfriendly host, rude and rude. Foreigners are not welcome here. It became violent when we asked why we weren't being served. An innkeeper like that doesn't belong in Cologne. I would sabotage a bar like that with that kind of attitude!

Malz-Bierbrauerei Gerhard Fischenich

KWB im Stadtpalais

Restaurant

👍👍 Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, das Ambiente ansprechend, das Personal sehr freundlich. Die Preise sind m.E. üblich für gehobene Restauration und angemessen. Das Restaurant befindet sich in der Schwimmhalle des historischen Kaiser-Wilhelm-Bades, später im Volksmund: Deutzer Bad genannt. Daran knüpft au...

Partyraum Köln

Function room facility

👍👍 I celebrated my birthday in the party room and had an unforgettable evening there with my 60 guests. There was a lively celebration with good food. I can only recommend the party room.

Bar Rix

Wine bar

👍👍 Amazing bar! There is so much choice in Cologne, but BarRix is something very special. A lot of love and passion and a sense of well-being and enjoyment. The wines are always something special, the tastings are super informal and incredibly organized. Cheese and other accompaniments to wine are a...
