Rheinterrassen is the ideal location for a sunny Saturday. We got ourselves a pint of Radler and…read moresat down on the beach chairs with our feet in the sand. It probably had one of the best views of the city, facing the Dom and the Hohenzollernbrücke. The music is very typically 'summer bar loungy', which suits the occasion. Prices are not cheap, but you don't have to pay an entrance fee, so that kind of compensates. If you want to enjoy some shade, you can sit at the tables with parasols. This was the perfect afternoon relax spot after walking through the entire city center.

My wife and I were married at the Rheinterrassen in July 2016. From beginning of the initial…read morecontact through the wedding day reception, our experience dealing with the venue was wonderful. I am not the sort to sing praises of many places, but Rheinterrassen is a 5-star wedding venue in Köln! Positives The people we were in contact with were wonderful!!! We were treated so well. We were not upsold. They told us what they offered, listened to our requests, provided honest feedback based on their experience, and informed us of the minimum charge based number of guests. We had a contact person (Frau Balz) who answered all our calls including questions up until wedding day. All questions, no matter how minor, were addressed with urgency and in a timely fashion. Food was wonderful. I feared the food on wedding day wouldn't be as good or plentiful as when we had our tasting but that was not an issue. In fact, during the tasting, there was a dish I thought was a bit salty so I made a comment to the chef. I was pleased to taste that issues was addressed on wedding day. The view across the Rhine River into Köln (highlighted by the Dom) is as good as it gets in the city Negatives I speak English but the preferred language is German. Yay for me; too bad for my German wife who did most of the coordinating. Washrooms are downstairs (away from reception area) and they are public toilets for use by the entire restaurant. Honestly, not a big deal but just an FYI. Of all the people we dealt with, there was only one person who was somewhat cranky. She was a bartender who started later on the evening of the wedding. We kept the party going until past 4am so I can understand her not being so chatty...

Really romantic place, after passing this place a hundred times, we decided to try this place out…read more We shared steak salad for appetizer. This was pretty good. My entree was flammkuchen and the bacon was so salty that I couldn't finish the meal. The service was pretty bad during our meal, I think it was the end of the work day of our waitress and she took her time and didn't work for any tips. We had to pay due to the change over of working shifts. We stayed longer and ordered coffee and the service was great the latter part of our dinner. Don't think I will go for dinner again, perhaps for coffee.

Multi-functional place. Concerts, restaurant, football viewing, you name it.

The fries happened to be a bit soggy at times but were handcut. They also have jever beer, which is a good alternative to kolsch.

What a wonderful concept and what wonderful surroundings. A great place to stay if you're cycling…read morealong the river Rhine as it's just a few short minutes detour from the main cycle track. It's a hotel too so you can either stay overnight if you are on a long tour or just for a refreshment break if you are on a shorter day trip. For motorists there are ample parking facilities on the adjoining road, and it's surprisingly well served by public transport. In summer there's a large beer garden and it's a great place to bring young children, who can explore the spacious grounds and play outside safely away from the danger of traffic. Inside it's an old building which has been completely and very tastefully renovated in a modern style. It has the ambience of a welcoming English country club set peacefully in its own grounds.There is a wide range of food and drink to satisfy all tastes and purses, and the service is both friendly and efficient.
