The term "Jazz Bar" means different things to different people. I assumed it meant live Jazz being…read moreplayed. However, Metronom's version consists of a madingly tiny place, crammed to the point of immobility, with Jazz Albums being played, for ambience. The locals, mostly 25-35 y olds, seemed to like it - it was sardine-like packed - & that's all that matters. But, if, like me, u expect the thrill of live music - Metronom is not your spot.

I played few times at Metronom in Cologne with a Fusion/Jazz trio…read more It's a small location and it's always packed with young people that really enjoy live music. The atmosphere and the acoustic are great. Mike the owner of Metronome is a very cool guy. He has a very good LP collection of Jazz Music he plays during the evening.

A totally ridiculous cover band, the Silk Rabbits, was playing, and so for a minimal amount of money I enjoyed some fun music, excellent people watching and delicious Kölsch. Since then, I have not been back, but I have kept tabs on the venue, and I see that a lot of good acts are playing there when passing through town. I hope to someday be back.

Went there today to the trash pop party. music was ok, place was decent. However, what really…read moresucked was the fact that 3 guys (foreigners) didn't get in, despite the fact that the club was half empty at the time. There was definitely no legit reason, except perhaps that they were foreigners. Won't be supporting this type of racism and definitely won't be coming back.

I love the disco ball which reflects specs of light all over. I liked the Dark & Stormy and the White Russian. The server was friendly and efficient. I would come here often if I lived in Cologne.

Quite a few different options. A little walk but not too far from the train which is pretty convenient. Would recommend this place if anyone like 90's music, or more of the jazz and blues feel. Quite loud and noisy but nice atmosphere
