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.

Had the vegetarian cheeseburger which was extremely tasted, made from some sort of soy I believe, the spices on the "patty" were trimmed to perfection.

I'm the worst when it comes to vegetables but I happily went here two nights in a row. The food is good. Not wonderful but good enough to satisfy even the strict meat eater. The chili cheese fries (we tried the vegan as well as vegetarian on two different nights) was delicious. Plus a free Foosball table in a graffiti covered bar/restaurant? No complaints. Very friendly waitstaff. Cash only.
