Fantastic views of Düsseldorf. The only bar worth visiting. We tried hotel Nikko, Intercontinental,…read moreHyatt ... Seriously Düsseldorf you don't know how to make a good bar in a top hotel.... They all felt like airport departure lounges But this Skylounge is the tops. And the prices are certainly not ridiculous... Good size helpings on the bar snacks. It's very quiet Sunday afternoons - crazy busy Friday and Saturday evenings and very pleasant Monday to Thursday for late evening drinks it proved.

I have been here a couple of times, and the bar seems to be quite empty on working days till 19:00,…read morebut pretty much overfilled on Fri and Sat evenings. So, you might want to make a reservation on those 2 nights. The view is indeed fantastic, so if you are looking for that - it is a great place to be. However, do note that the drinks are somewhat overpriced, e.g. a coffee costs 4.5€ which is clearly above Dusseldorf average in terms of price, but is nothing special in terms of quality. Overall: awesome design and lights, neat waiters, wonderful view, but drinks do not offer a good price-quality ratio. I have never eaten here.

Still happy about joining the basic intro to becoming a bartender with Romano. But, the place…read morechanged over the last three years. 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 speak easy style bar always used to be my favorite, but I can't say it still is.

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.

We were happy, that this day was 'happy hour' on all cocktails which was 3for2. I ordered grilled turkey steak with french fries and salad. our meal was served quickly and I liked it. The service was very good and my friends enjoyed their meal as well. Later, we went from the restaurant part to the smoking lounge and stayed there for some time. Gecko Lounge is a nice and cozy place if you want to spend some time with good music and nice Ambiente. i didn't like that there was no WiFi, but as it is an old wine cellar you cannot except WiFi there. I can recommend you to try and it is worth to only go for drinks as well. I will visit Gecko Lounge soon again.

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.
