While waitress service is still great the quality of the cocktails isn't state of the art anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's still a bit above average, just not perfect.

This upscale cocktail bar is worth the visit. The entrance on the quiet street is not completely…read moreobvious and you have to ring the buzzer to get in. The interior is well designed, a little tight but quite comfortable. They have a small outside covered patio that can be used almost year around. The cocktails (the main reason for coming here) are very well made and somewhat unique. The selection of spirits is good for a small place. The list of ingredients for the varied selection of cocktails is impressive. Pros - well crafted cocktails, helpful and social staff, not too crowded, quiet enough for a conversation with your partner (or the people next to you), a nice mix of clientele with locals/visitors/younger/older all mixing well. There aren't really any cons - though 2 points that aren't exactly pros: 1. Prices are a touch high but should be expected with a small place serving high quality drinks 2. Sometimes they seem to be trying too hard. Some of the cocktails are a little overly complex One other point - there are several 1 star reviews on here mainly because they showed up with a group larger than 6 and were not allowed in. Seiberts is too small for large groups. The website clearly states no groups larger than 6 are allowed in - so if you show up with a large group you won't get in and it's your fault. Deal with it :-)

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.

I would come here often to meet one of my good friends that lived in Nippes, this was hands-down his favorite bar. He liked and enjoyed many of their mixed drinks that the bartenders would make here. He felt the drinks were always consistently good, strong. I didn't drink often, but I would have a light alcohol cocktail here in there. I was most amused at the name of the bar and telling friends and colleagues that I had been at the bar fly over the weekend. This is most definitely a local hangout since it's out of the main downtown area. Nippes has several hidden gems like this place.
