Drinks & Nightlife

A great bar for a private or a business meeting. Enjoy a coffee, a drink or a little nibble with piano music. One of my favorite places in Köln. For a business lunch, go to Excelsior's Hanse Stube.

Excellent cocktails! Reserve the leather lounge are if you come with a group or sit at the bar if you are alone. The rest of the bar feels a bit cold.
