I went there with my friend today and at the door, the bodyguard said that because we do not wear…read moretie, he cannot allow us inside, we MUST wear TIE! AND Today, on their own instagram page, on their own story, it can be clearly seen that there are many guys inside which are having just T-shirts on them! So! If we are not allowed to enter because we do NOT wear Tie, how people were inside with T-shirt??? RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

So I went to this place but could not even go in. This guy was letting everyone in but decided…read morethat I would not go in. I'm a multinational executive who came with my brother who is a renowned cardiologist. I came to Germany from the United States and wanted to check this place out. I was just told "no you won't go in". I've attached a picture of the person so that if you see him there you reconsider your options. He was a bit aggressive and intimidating for no reason.

Blue Shell is kind of awesome…read more I came here in May 2009, on my second night ever in Köln, during my first trip to Germany. It happened to be the 35th anniversary show of the venue. 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.

Lesbian venue in a cellar, NYE party…read more Music: shitty charts. Coat check at the entrance. Expensive yet stingy drinks, dreadful toilet. I'm not sure if it is always like that but they have this confusing voucher system where you have to purchase a certain amount on the door and then present it at the bar and they cross out the amount. If you buy €10 and then decide to stay for another stiff one (and that's the only stiffy you'll find, I'm not complaining, it's veeery lezzie here) you gotta go upstairs and get another voucher. Let me just say, by the time you leave you'll have pockets full of cardboard coupons. I hope they recycle well. One rude member of staff at the door didn't ruin it for me but it's Germany, the language itself sounds rude and dirty, so maybe she was nice.. or rude. Generally good atmosphere, efficient bar tenderesses, so I guess it was all right. Won't be going back though, not my cup of tea.

Well, it's a Friday night... ladies night at Crystal Cologne. Hip Hop, R&B and trap music playing…read moretonight. Unfortunately 5 African American women were not allowed to enter the club. 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.

Worst club ever, rude bouncers who only allow Germans in and are extremely racist. Only wanted to…read morelet girls in and didn't allow our male friends to come inside. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. This place doesn't reflect German nightlife at all

After having a great time all through cologne, my wife and I went to their club, wearing nice…read moreclothes, and having a great attitude, just to get told that we were not welcome. I believe that it was because my wife and I are black, and represented ourselves well. We were sent from entrance to entrance when we got there, and they were incredibly disrespectful to us. They also heard us speak English, and got even more disrespectful with us. We were embarrassed, and it killed our entire trip. I suggest NO ONE spend their money at this club. It's a waste of your time, and money.

Nice Club, fine club! Electronic music and loads of areas to chill out and be lazy!…read more Prices of the drinks are alright, not the cheapest though. Take away of the night was the naked man poster in the bathroom BIG LIKE on that area, the boys of course had a girl too :) makes it fun!

As the Germans would say, "this place is shinky minky!" I just learned this phrase, and think it's…read moreadorable.. but it basically is used to describe something that is posh. If you're looking for a nice, clean, and posh club venue to wear your heels and show off your new hair do, then come here! I was happy to find a place where my stilettos were welcomed, as most of the Koln scene is pretty laid back! Music was great, dark setting illuminated with dark tones throughout the club, also there is a coat check! Not a lot of places to sit, but hey! You came to dance, so get up and drop it like it's hot! :D
