Ubierschänke

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.

Great little dive bar. Friendly staff, fresh Kolsch and some local snacks... Off the beaten path in…read morea touristy section of Cologne...

.... das ist ansich die Ubierschänke. Sie ist wohl eine der letzten Kneipen, die die wilden 80er der Kölner Südstadt überlebt haben. .. und sich selber treu geblieben ist. Die Kneipe, die Inneneinrichtung und viele Gäste tragen die Patina der 80er.. was aber der Kneipe keinen Abbruch tut.. den auf der anderen Seite ist sie weider so jung, wie eine Eckkneipe nur sein kann. Kölsch ist klasse und schmeckt auch so, die Bediehnung ist vor allem am Abend top fit, jung, hübsch, schnell und freundlich. Die kalte Küche reichhaltig und preiswert, Fußball-Leinwandübertragungen ein Renner und Karneval sowieso die Nr. 1 in der Südstadt.. und darum leider auch immer voll. Auf der kleinen Bühne gibt es unregelmässig Liveveranstaltungen... da ist es gut, auf die Plakate zu achten... ich jedenfalls bin dort regelmässig... read more

Super Ambiente... Uhrig, Nett und leckeres kaltes Bier! Das brauen die selbst und es ist echt süffig. So macht Kneipe Spaß. So stell ich mir die "Tender Bar" vor. Ich werde auf jeden fall wiederkommen. read more

The…read moremusic was typical Mexican restaurant music and the restaurant was all decorated with traditional Mexican restaurant style. If you are craving Mexican food while in Germany this is a good spot but it won't be the best Mexican food you ever had. More like a Tex-Mex place. The margarita left something to be desired as well- kind of tasted like one I would attempt to make at home and not one that you would receive at a Mexican restaurant. I honestly didn't even expect to see a Mexican restaurant here so it was a great surprise.

I came here for a colleague's birthday and all of us were all ex-pats from another country. Every…read moreonce in a while we would crave for some thing other than German food and Mexican food was always a good standby and comfort food for us. They had some good Mexican beer options here. We had the flautas, burritos and enchiladas and all of it was decent. The best part about this place was the drink and the ambience. We always had a such fun and especially for large groups too. They had yes and chips and dips in their entrées weren't bad either.

Do they tip in usa? I said, I'm so sorry, do they tip here in Germany? He just glare at me and said don't worry about it. Wow, hellof a way to treat someone..... there were so many nice way to give me advice, even when I sit and happily take abuse but this old queen must be angry he can't get any so f**k him and his sh*ty bar, 1 star for crap music, boring patrons, and rude as hell staff.
