Eigentlich eine schöne Location. Aber das Personal (im Security Bereich) geht gar nicht. Nach dem…read moreKonzert wurden wir direkt nachdem die Band von der Bühne war mit einem Wellenbrecher Gitter nach draußen gedrückt und angeschrien, dass wir raus gehen sollen. Wir konnten noch nicht mal unsere Sachen (Fahnen, Pullover, leere Getränkeflaschen usw.) vernünftig packen oder das Abschlusslied, welches von Platte gespielt wird und (zumindest gefühlt und inoffiziell) fester Bestandteil des Tourprogramms ist, genießen. Jugendliche/Kinder sind hier gar nicht willkommen. Unter 12 Jahren kommt man nur mit Kapselgehörschutz rein. Vernünftige Kinder-ohropax, die bestimmt besser dicht sind als zu große andere Ohrschützer, werden nicht akzeptiert und man muss trotz Ticket draußen bleiben oder wenn man Glück hat noch irgendwo neue (billige, die dann gar nichts taugen) aus dem Baumarkt kaufen. Ist angeblich gesetzlich so, dann haben sich die anderen 30 Clubs in den letzten zwei Jahren wohl nicht an die Gesetze gehalten?! Waren noch viele andere Probleme mit den Türstehern/Security Personal. Sowas schlechtes und unprofessionelles habe ich noch nie erlebt. Schade, so macht man einen ansonsten schönen Club kaputt.

Cool place, different events, all kinds of music, nice concerts…read more Very alike to Sonic Ballroom just bigger, and mixed. It's not very well located, i mean for what people in Cologne are used to, a bit far, "wrong side" of the Rhine, etc. But it's really cool, looks like an old warehouse made to a club. Really underground from the way it's done, somehow a Berlin-style club. If you are into alternative not mainstream stuff full of college kids, this is the place to go.

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.

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.

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

Was there last night for Rebell Comedy. Super friendly staff, organized and great atmosphere…read more Great venue and all seats can see the stage.

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 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.
