This bar was quite a nice experience. It didn’t look like much from the outside and you had to ring to get inside, this in turn led to the bar not being overly crowded compared to other places in Cologne on a Saturday night.
We were promptly seated and got a cocktail menu that visually looked great and had us at multiple cocktails thinking „ok interesting!“ - not just the standard cocktails. They do the standard cocktails as well, just don’t have them listed on the menu - just ask for them.
While our orders were taken quite fast the service to actually get the cocktails to the table was rather slow. We waited at least 20min on each order, which felt a bit long to mix three drinks, especially with three bar keepers.
The drinks were both visually and taste-wise amazing. But they were small for a 12-15€ drink. Some felt like literally 5 sips and the drink is nearly finished already. Combined with the long waiting time we spend more time waiting than enjoying the (admittedly great) cocktails.
Ambient wise the bar was great, they had a DJ and everything felt right. They even had an outdoor area which looks pretty promising. They had heat lamps so it was still OK to sit outside even in November. The restrooms were nice and clean, no complaints here.
Overall a rate this for four stars. It’s nice if you want a relaxing night out, but know that you’ll wait and also will spend quite a bit of money. You have to decide if that is worth it for you.
