This place was so cool! It was just down the block from our place, so we decided to check it out…read more First off- this is definitely a locals bar. We were the only ones speaking english, and about 90% of the people in there were 55+. Which we actually loved, because it was still so lively and high energy! It seems like almost all of the people in there know each other and are good friends. The seating is community style, so they will just sit you wherever there is a spot. We sat with 3 other people at a small round table. The place was packed, so we were lucky to get a seat. Maybe that was because of the soccer game, but either way it is not a large place, so I could see that being the norm. The waitress will very quickly come around with some Kolsch beer, and mark your coaster for every drink you get (they will just keep bringing them until you say stop). It seems like that is all they really serve- I did not see one single other type of beer/drink being served. They serve it in smallish glasses, so it stays fresh and cold. They have one menu with about 12 different choices. I asked a local what he recommended, and he did not disappoint. We got a fried pork chop with potatoes and salad, and a sausage with a carrot/potato mash, and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, and the portions were plenty large. For 2 dinners and 5 beers, we paid about 25 euros. Not bad at all considering the quality, portion sizes, and friendly service. I would definitey check this place out if you are looking for a non touristy place with local charm. Oh and I would have taken a picture, but I didn't want to make myself stick out as a tourist more than I already did haha!

Wir waren gestern das erste mal nach dem Pächterwechsel mal wieder in unserem geliebten…read moreThieboldseck, aber: leider leider, es ist nicht mehr das Alte! Die Speisekarte war abgespeckt, die gute alte Hausmannsküche die immer so toll war , ist nun die übliche Brauhauskarte wie überall. Dann wurde Ballermannmusik in einer Lautstärke abgespielt dass es anstrengend wurde sich zu unterhalten. Da die Lautstärke auch auf unsere Bitte hin nicht runtergedreht wurde, sind wir dann woanders hingegangen. Schade , schade, schade...

My friend and I visited this bar on Halloween. The Halloween party was in full swing, the dance…read morefloor was full and there was a very friendly atmosphere. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean. However each time we went to the bar we were charged a different price for the same drinks, in addition my friend who speaks fluent German was charged less than myself... In all we paid 4 different prices for the same drinks that evening. I would also warn any women drinking here to be very careful with their drinks as a couple of local men bought us drinks which were spiked. Thankfully I didn't drink it but my friend was very ill for a few days as a result.

Original Cologne-Style "Kölsch"-Pub…read more From Worker to Manager: Everybody in the neighborhood likes a cold and tasty Kölsch draught by Anita. If you get hungry you can have several cold snacks typical for German Pubs: A bap with ground pork and onions, a "halver hahn" (pap with thick old cheese-slice), a metball or very tasty goulash. The interior is not modern or very fancy. If you want to experience orginal "Pub-Live" in Cologne, go there! If you manage to get in on carnival its one of the best places to be!
