Bumann & Sohn Cologne
The spot for everything
In the evening it's a nice bar; at night, it's a crazy club; in the summer, it's a relaxed outdoor area; in winter, it's a Christmas market and during the day it's a spot where markets, flea markets or food festivals take place. As you can see, "Bumann & Sohn" is a great spot for everything.
It's one of my favorite spots in the evening. You can start a relaxed evening with some nice drinks and snacks and it will turn into a great party in the night (Friday and Saturday). People from all over the world and all ages are around and party together. At the weekend, you should be there before 11pm to make sure to get in and not keep waiting in line for hours.
It's one of my preferred places also in summer, because it's one of the rare spots in this area where you can be outside in the sun, have good drinks and music, as well as great atmosphere at the same time.
