Come to zwoeinz if you're looking for a small cocktail bar right in the middle of Cologne's major…read moreparty district (between Zulpicher Str and Luxemburger Str) that serves tasty quality cocktails and cold beer together with great, mostly Indie or Alternative music. Difficult to impossible? Well, if you think that in Cologne's Zulpicher Strasse it isn't possible to get a drink that hasn't been watered down, made using cheap liquor filled into quality liquor bottles with the right labels on to trick you (and the music being the same quality as the drinks ), you are maybe right. So leave Zulpicher Street, go into a narrow side road (Hochstadenstr) and take a couple of steps down into a basement and feel delighted. The barkeepers welcome you with a friendly smile, the music is as carefully selected as the wide variety of Gins they are offering, and it is possible you never heard about both, neither songs nor Gins...or did you really ever taste a Sünner Gin? I promise you won't regret it. Sometimes, mostly on weekends, it can get really packed in there. But what can people do if real alternatives are missing? When its not so packed, you might ask the Barkeepers for recommendations on drinks, they've got a wide variety to offer and you might be positively surprised. The same goes for songs... As some reviews here are quite old, it is worth mentioning Zwoeinz is run by new owners for more than two years now, so some opinions expressed here might not be accurately describing the place as it is now.
