Small, intimate place. The decor is very on point with a 70s feel and pays homage to legends like…read moreRay Charles, James Brown, and Aretha Franklin. The music was within that genre as well. 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.

Very nice bar decent size although a bit smaller. Very staffs and service. Reasonable prices and…read moredecent speed, do get a bit slower when it's packed with people. Get pretty crowded after 1am. 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

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.

The cool part about this place is that they make their own bitters, something that can't be said of most places. This place is small so I wouldn't wander in with a group larger than 4 heads. 5 stars.

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.

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.

In my experience, this place does the best value for money cocktails in Cologne. My own tipple of choice is usually a Manhattan, sometimes straying into the Whisky Sour or Vodka Martini regions. This place is certainly my favourite for a Manhattan --- medium sweet. The staff are exceptionally friendly and once they know you there is always a good tête à tête while ordering. Again, time-depending, you might have to wait a tiny bit while the bar man does his Tom Cruise thing, but for quality and price, one of the best places in for a night's drink Cologne.
