Stereo Wonderland is one of those venues that, although located 5000 miles from where I live, in a…read morecountry where I didn't speak the language (at the time of my initial visit), still made me feel right at home. I was lucky enough to see Darren Hayman play here one night in May 2009, and the music - as well as the atmosphere - was wonderful. We arrived early but it was no big deal, because I loved the vibe. The word gemütlich immediately comes to mind... The place is cozy and intimate, with good beer on tap, comfortable seating and acceptable acoustics. I haven't yet been back, although I'd love to someday. And I can say quite matter-of-factly that if I lived in the area, this would easily become a regular haunt.

The first thing i thought when i came in was Sonic Ballroom…read more Somehow the same kind of place just different clientele. Good music, good prices and nice atmosphere. Kölsch is 1,50 and Becks is 2,50 so it's pretty much standard prices.

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.

The staff was very friendly as well as the other patrons. If I lived in Köln this would be my go to bar. Might not be for everyone, but it was for me.

The 'Low Budget' is a nice punk like bar. The service and the people are nice…read more The music is very good (more punk, less rock). They got a pool table and two football tables.

In Cologne, servers are apparently not known for their friendliness in Brauhauses, although ours was nice. :) Will probably take out-of-town friends here who are looking for the German bar experience. :)

Awesome pub. Easy to order and the beer is amazing. Light and sweet kolsch. Like everyone said, it…read morehas a younger and fun vibe than some of the other beer halls.

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.

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
