The staff was very friendly as well as the other patrons. If I lived in Köln this would be my go to bar. Might not be for everyone, but it was for me.

The 'Low Budget' is a nice punk like bar. The service and the people are nice…read more The music is very good (more punk, less rock). They got a pool table and two football tables.

The only negative comment I have is while the other customers were extremely friendly the staff were very cold, even dour. The staff on duty that night were from Argentina and while they were all smiles talking to each other, it was a completely different story when dealing with a customer.

My husband ordered lamb while my sister ordered pork cutlet... very very delicious, the potatoes were awesome no need to ask for salt or pepper... sauce and herb used were more than enough... highly recommended when you're in Koln, Germany.

Wer unbedingt etwas essen muss, kann das beruhigt hier tun, wenngleich der Schwerpunkt vom Dominikaner nicht beim Essen liegt. Es gibt keine Riesenauswahl, weil die Essen in der Regel von der Tresenbedienung nebenher alleine zubereitet werden müssen.

The bar was full of regulars and while many diners may have been tourists, it was a local experience. Our waiter was a bit frazzled working by himself on a Friday night but our beers came quickly, he explained the menu to us, and brought the food relatively fast. They were out of some of the menu items but the specials on menu are their ghoulash items with meat from the nearby forest (deer, cervine, beef). And we were very happy with our ghoulash and spatzel.
