The bouncer gave no good reason as to why. We're well dressed, ready to party, and have plenty of money to spend! "Sorry ladies, not for you tonight." Excuse me??? It's ironic how you like our culture but don't like us.

If your an American good luck getting in. This was the first club I've ever been denied entry in,…read moreand the doorman couldn't give me a reason for denying my entry, I wasn't drunk, I was wearing slacks, dress shoes, and a button up shirt. As we were going in we were speaking English as soon as the doorman heard us he gave up an odd look then said no entry. Oh I'm also black so that might also be a factor, so if you happen to be American your probably not getting in, and if you're a black American, forget about getting in. There are loads of other places to go so don't bother going to Crystal Lounge, they are anti-American and probably anti-black.

Let me just get right into the details.. I like this place, I really do! But, there are some…read morefactors that with improvement, I would like it even better! 1) Great music.. No offense, Europe, but I'm sick of listening to JUST house music or American oldies.. this place plays a great mix of mash ups/top 40s that includes the house music, but doesn't limit their playlist to only include this. 2) Two floors- this place has an upstairs and a downstairs. Upstairs is more lounge feel, just to hang out and get some drinks. Downstairs is where you should plan to get your dance on! However, get ready to be up close and personal, because there is absolutely no room to move around too much.. it's basically a small room, with not a lot of space, and a ton of people. 3) Drinks- The drinks were made stiff, but it takes a bit of time to get your drink. The staff is definitely bombarded with people hootin' and hollerin' with some orders, so be prepared to be patient.

After exploring Cologne to the fullest, we were looking for a nightcap. Harry's New York Bar was on…read moremy list of the most reviewed (with a good rating) bars in Cologne (though you won't see as much Yelp activity in Germany compared to the States), and it was conveniently located to where we were at the time, so we stopped by for a drink half an hour before they closed. Ambiance (3.5/5): Harry's New York Bar is located in a hotel, though the bar has its own entrance, too. Think of it as an elegant hotel bar. Comfortable seating. Spacious. Along with a long bar which has some bar seating as well. So why not a higher rating for their ambiance? Well, this is pretty wild but there was a rat walking around while we were there. We told the bartender about it, but he didn't seem too concerned with the situation. I sure hope rats are not frequent guests here! Service (4/5): Outside of the rat situation, our bartender did a good job. Service in Europe doesn't tend to be terribly attentive, friendly, or efficient. And in Germany, they will often kick you out right when it's closing time. Not the case here. The bartender let us stay for a good while after they closed. Which I always appreciate. They even give you some snacks to munch on with your cocktail. That was a nice touch. Food (N/A): Outside of the complimentary snacks, we had dinner prior so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (4.5/5): You would think that Harry's New York Bar is an American bar given the name. That's what I thought initially. I was wrong. Harry was a famous bartender in the U.K. who invented several famous cocktails. So that's what you should have here. They have a solid list of craft cocktails, many of them with an interesting blend of flavors and ingredients. I was happy with mine, though you will pay a premium here since it's a hotel bar. Harry's New York Bar has locations across the world. I was happy to check out my very first one in Cologne.

There is nothing specatulat about this bar, and the only gimick is the KGB imagery in the bar. The service is good, the drink selection solid and some really good shots But the atmostphere is good, fun and the patrons are friendly. What started out as a seperate groups out for a drink ended up by the end of the night with most people in the bar talking and laughing with people who were strangers in the beginning. This is definitly a bar I would go back to based on this atmosphere.
