Era cafe & bar

We are the somewhat wacky bar in Schaafenstrasse Cologne, We have (almost) no rest days, but lots of partying! We look forward to you. Popular with a younger crowd who like to party hard and dance the night away.

Friendly, mature crowd. My Lord pampers his guests with homemade dishes on the weekends and small snacks are available during the week. Come make some local friends at this long standing Cologne gay institution.

We offer European coffee specialties based on the Viennese coffee manufacturer Julius Meinl. We get our fresh milk from the Hielscher Hof in the Bergisches Land. We also offer lactose-free milk. We obtain our loose high-quality teas from the cöln tea house in the immediate vicinity of our cafes on Benesisstrasse. We get the right tea water from a spring in the Eifel - soft, clear, not chalky & tasteless. You get good, delicious coffee, tea or cocoa in connection with one of the most delicious breakfasts in the cathedral city of Cologne with us every day. Everything is rounded off with delicious cakes (also gluten-free), as well as quiche, tarte flambee, salads, soups and sandwiches. A number of unusual non-alcoholic drinks, juices, shakes, smoothies (also vegan) complete the range in addition to some types of beer from Germany, Belgium and Spain. For wine lovers we have put together a small selection of wines from the regions of Spain, Germany and France. Our sparkling wines are Cremant from the Loire and excellent champagnes. For lovers of Gin & Tonics, we have a number of premium brands to choose from, such as Windspiel Gin, LAW Ibiza Dry Gin, Gin Mare etc. Test us, we warmly welcome you to be our guest.

Josef and Wolfgang have been running the Casino-Eck, the somewhat different Veedelskneipe, since 2008. Everyone is welcome here, no matter whether old or young, man or woman, straight, lesbian, gay or transgender - tolerance is simply lived here. It is cozy and atmospheric here, friendly people meet over delicious beer and motto evenings appropriate to the season, such as May festival, Holland evening, Oktoberfest or travesty show.

For more than 30 years the alternative in Cologne's Bermuda Triangle, the pub that somehow never changes but is different every evening and which in its long history has never been closed for an evening and usually long beyond the opening times. Come by and get to know the shop that you can't describe.

"Ramiro Montano Rocha" has artistically redesigned three pillars in the bar and in the Lopft above, with elaborate tile mosaics in the style of "Gaudi" and with great attention to detail. For this purpose he brought tiles from Barcelona to Cologne. Art is written "BIG" in BARCELON. 4x a year we offer young but also seasoned artists the opportunity to present their works on our premises. The past exhibitions have proven to be very successful and were very well received by our guests interested in art. Our guest structure is mixed. No matter whether male, female, trans, younger or older, everyone is very welcome here. Gin and tonic, cocktails, long drinks, fine wines, selected spirits and various types of beer round off our range of drinks. The spacious sun terrace extends our space when the weather is nice. We are open for you on Saturdays from 4 p.m., Sundays and public holidays from 2 p.m. Then it's "coffee clap in Barcelon". Delicious cakes and coffee specialties are then in the foreground. The Barcelon-LOFT can be booked for private parties for groups of 30 or more people. Just talk to us if you are interested. Curious? ... then we look forward to your visit :-)
