Yes it may not be the most hip and happening place on the block, especially when you compare it to…read morethe other options you have around Zülpicher and Barbarossa stations. But lets not forget why the clubs here. If you want a party and a massive night on the turps your probably in the wrong place. Moreover if you are looking for an expat crowd , well go to Jamisons. But if you want a cosy bar, where the staff are always friendly and you are interested in a safe, casual and laid back place to practise your language skills then the Overseas club is you bar. Take one of their language courses and you'll find it a more laid back structure than the hyper-commercialised language schools around cologne (come one, a kölsch or two during your lessoni know im not complaining!)

The bartenders / owners are lovely ladies who were quicker with jokes than drinks and the prices are more than fair. Students leaving language classes came out laughing with drinks in hand. I don't know about the other languages but the English speaking contingent here is funny, friendly and easy to chat up.

Hier kann man neben dem normalen Instrumentalunterricht (der für jedes gängige Instrument angeboten wird) auch Kurse zur Vorbereitung auf ein Musikstudium oder Band- und Combounterricht belegen. Die Lehrer der Jazz Haus Schule unterrichten nicht nur in der Eigelsteintorburg, sondern in vielen Schulen in ganz Köln und sind meiner persönlichen Erfahrung nach durchweg sehr qualifiziert und symphatisch.

While waitress service is still great the quality of the cocktails isn't state of the art anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's still a bit above average, just not perfect.

The cool part about this place is that they make their own bitters, something that can't be said of most places. This place is small so I wouldn't wander in with a group larger than 4 heads. 5 stars.
