Exile on Main Street

"WELCOME TO FRIENDS" Located on the Eigelstein Torburg in the north of the old town, the Kattwinkel, the bar with tradition, has been successful for more than two decades, under the leadership of Lothar Korsinski and his partner Marco Stadie in the historic Eigelstein-Veedel. For the fifth season of the year, the Fastelovend, the Kattwinkel is one of the most popular locations in Cologne. Here you can celebrate happily, happily and, above all, peacefully. Popular Cologne DJs meet here at regular intervals. The interior is warm and cozy. The guests, as colorful as the world can be. In addition, the sunny outdoor terrace with over 80 seats and a view of the historic Eigelsteintorburg invites you to linger in the summer. But otherwise, the atmosphere is guaranteed all year round. Nobody stays here alone for long. Whether a gin from the 71 different providers off the shelf, changing types of beer, cocktails, or the annual rum pot here, you hardly leave anything to be desired. True to the motto: Always something new, Lothar and Marco ensure that there is something for everyone here, or that there will be something here.

The cozy bar between Cologne's Rudolfplatz and Neumarkt invites you to linger, talk and celebrate. Not far from the gay scene on Schaafenstraße, it is open to everyone, regardless of whether they are straight, gay, lesbian, women or men. Although it invites you to a cozy get-together and talk on the weekend, it always offers changing events and parties.

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.

"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 :-)

For over 20 years now, the cult bar Ex | Corner has come to life every evening. This is where the heart of the Bermuda Triangle beats. "See and be seen" on the many large windows of the Ex | Corner. Here, right in the center of the well-known "Bermuda Triangle", you can hear everything and you can communicate and celebrate excellently here. For themed parties such as Halloween, Grand Prix, Kylie's birthday party and events such as the street festival or CSD, many Cologne residents come to the Ex | Corner to enjoy the excellent atmosphere and atmospheric music.

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.
