This place was so cool! It was just down the block from our place, so we decided to check it out…read more First off- this is definitely a locals bar. We were the only ones speaking english, and about 90% of the people in there were 55+. Which we actually loved, because it was still so lively and high energy! It seems like almost all of the people in there know each other and are good friends. The seating is community style, so they will just sit you wherever there is a spot. We sat with 3 other people at a small round table. The place was packed, so we were lucky to get a seat. Maybe that was because of the soccer game, but either way it is not a large place, so I could see that being the norm. The waitress will very quickly come around with some Kolsch beer, and mark your coaster for every drink you get (they will just keep bringing them until you say stop). It seems like that is all they really serve- I did not see one single other type of beer/drink being served. They serve it in smallish glasses, so it stays fresh and cold. They have one menu with about 12 different choices. I asked a local what he recommended, and he did not disappoint. We got a fried pork chop with potatoes and salad, and a sausage with a carrot/potato mash, and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, and the portions were plenty large. For 2 dinners and 5 beers, we paid about 25 euros. Not bad at all considering the quality, portion sizes, and friendly service. I would definitey check this place out if you are looking for a non touristy place with local charm. Oh and I would have taken a picture, but I didn't want to make myself stick out as a tourist more than I already did haha!

Die Speisekarte war abgespeckt, die gute alte Hausmannsküche die immer so toll war , ist nun die übliche Brauhauskarte wie überall. Dann wurde Ballermannmusik in einer Lautstärke abgespielt dass es anstrengend wurde sich zu unterhalten. Da die Lautstärke auch auf unsere Bitte hin nicht runtergedreht wurde, sind wir dann woanders hingegangen. Schade , schade, schade...

Luckily i speak decent German but we made friends and drank Kolsh beers all night and bought rounds of shots for the bar. They liked American country music so we all sang along to Toby Keith "I love this bar". My brother and I stayed until past 2 am enjoying this awesome bar. Highly recommend. Oh, its cash only btw.

A nice little find. I was the only tourist in the place, it seemed. Very good pizza and beer for a…read moredecent price, yet close to major attractions. I got there on a Friday night around 9, and the hours on Yelp show it closing at ten. Thinking the night was about over for the place, I took a booth but after eating moved to the bar because it had completely filled up. I left around 10:30 and it was still going. Not a huge beer selection but good enough.

Delirium Tremens is my favorite beer. If you haven't had it, you need to. And quickly. It's a…read moreBelgian beer and Belgian beers are almost always quality. When I was traveling to Rome last year, I discovered that the beer brand has bars in a bunch of countries (mostly Europe). To my surprise, I stumbled upon this location in Cologne. There was no way I was going to leave Germany without a visit. Service (5/5): I stopped by around 10:30 p.m. on a Monday night. The bartender was awesome. He's American, so we chatted about his immigration to Germany. He offered samples, let me go behind the bar to take a closer look at the bottled beers, and didn't rush us when closing time arrived. Service the way it should be. Ambiance (4.5/5): Delirium Cafe is a chill bar. Pretty much what you would want a beer bar to look like. Delirium signage in a bunch of places, and a good amount of seating. This location is much smaller than the one I visited in Rome, but it's cozy. Food (N/A): The Rome location has a full menu. No food here. But you can bring food from outside. There's a pizza spot on the same street, so I grabbed some takeout from there and had a glorious pizza + beer combo. Drinks (5/5): I mean it's my favorite beer after all. In addition to Delirium Tremens, they have three other Delirium varieties on tap, including Delirium Red, which is delicious. There are two other brands made by Delirium which I tried too. This was a nice surprise. A perfect end to an evening in Cologne.
