One thing that I have discovered as I have been wandering around Koln is that their small beers are…read moreactually really, really small. In fact they are probably butcher-sized (not that I have found any pubs in Australia that actually serve butchers). I actually quite like these small beers, though for some reason I would prefer a little more. Anyway, this bar is pretty much dedicated to the guy that geeks the world over love and admire. In fact, if you are a geek, and you are in Cologne then this is a bar that you should check out. I knew about it, but didn't actually know where it was, that is until I was wandering through the back alleys of the old city and discovered it. Okay, it isn't hugely geeky, it just has a heap of pictures of Einstein covering the wall, but it's still pretty cool.

Unser Publikum ist recht studilastig, aber dennoch querbeet gemischt. Ob montags beim Bingo, dienstags auf'm Kickerturnier, donnerstags beim Pub-Quiz, auf einer unserer Partys, oder einfach nur so ... es wird 365 Tage im Jahr von 19-5 Uhr steilgegangen! Auch die BL, CL und andere Sportereignisse werden bei uns übertragen. Da aber bekanntlich Eigenlob ja stinkt, solltest Du Dich aber am besten selbst davon überzeugen, ob unser Laden das Zeug dazu hat, die Bar Deines Vertrauens zu werden.

After dinner, I let my friend choose the place for drinks since she's the local. She took us to one…read moreof her favourite bars, Domkeller, which I'd classify as a dive bar. We dropped in on a Tuesday evening (around 9:15pm) and it was busy. There was a private event upstairs so the inside was packed. Luckily, we were able to snag a table outside beside the heaters. Nice touch with the blankets for you to use if you get cold. Only downside is lots of chain smokers but that's at most bars. There were a couple menus but we only were here for beers (€2,50 to €5,80 range). - Tannenzäpfle (€2,50 for 0,33L) - 2x Eifeler landbier (€2,50 for 0,30L) - 2x Bolten alt (€2,50 for 0,30L) Chill, laid back spot to grab a few beers with friends.

One of the coolest bars I've been to in long time! I looked up Domkeller on Yelp! and you all did…read morenot disappoint, I got just what I was looking for! Located (as the name suggests) right near the Dom, Domkeller offers good beer (German, Belgian as well as others) in a cozy atmosphere. For me, Domkeller embodies what a bar should be--a relaxed place where you can share a drink with friends and listen to good music (at just the right level) or have a good conversation. The music played here is fantastic and is an amazing mix that just about everyone will enjoy. They also regularly have concerts--I'm sure this place gets packed for those! Although a bit pricey (our bill came to around 12 with 2 beers and a snack) I think it's a nice enough place to enjoy a drink (skip the snack).

It's a bar called White Bear and the interior is more like a student bar with expensive drinks…read more It's open late and that was why we ended up here. For the first time ever I have walked into a bar in Germany and they had run out of beer. I mean come on, how is that even possible in Beer nation ? Mixed drinks like JD & Coke were minimum €7.50 and above and the bar was also pretty empty when we got there with Rock music from the 90's playing loud. The waitress was lovely and friendly but the guy at the bar seemed a bit grumpy and not interested in serving us. I may come back here again another time and see. It's saving grace is the opening times. 2 am during the week and upto 5am on weekends.

We stumbled on Weinkommissar late one night after finishing dinner with clients on a Bonn walk…read morestreet. I loved that in spite of the chilly 40 degree temps, patrons were sitting at benches outside with blankets provided by the bar enjoying their drinks. When we arrived it was 10:45 and when we asked as we sat down when they closed, the young bartender told us they closed at 11pm, but would let us know when last call came around. We ordered a couple of lovely German reds and proceeded to enjoy another hour or so of conversation and another glass of wine. Finally at nearly midnight we hear last call. While we didn't partake, we watched the the bartenders putting together lovely plates of charcuterie and cheese with bread. As we'd just had dinner, we just couldn't eat another bite, but it all looked so good. They had a great selection of wines and friendly service.
