Nightlife of Cologne

Cologne full with, variety of arts and nightlife options are one of the major cultural hubs of Germany. The Performing Arts--The most impressive grouping of theater space in Cologne is within the Schauspielhaus, Offenbachplatz, the site of three theaters, each with its own agenda and schedule. Performances range from the avant-garde to the classic. Dance Clubs - A combination of live bands and DJs play at the MTC Music Club, Zulpicher Strasse 10, and unpretentious, even somewhat grungy bar with a small stage at one end. Either live or recorded music is played nightly, usually beginning at around 8pm, and continuing in an amiable, albeit high-volume and somewhat dysfunctional venue till around 3am. Expect lots of interest in punk-rock exhibitionism. Jazz Clubs -Klimperkasten (also known as Papa Joe's Biersalon), Alter Markt 50-52, is a small and intimate jazz and piano bar open from 11am to 2am, with live music every night beginning around 8pm. Sunday, when the music begins at 3:30pm and lasts until 1am, is the best day to come. Live-Music Clubs, Several times a week (usually at 8pm Wed and Sat, but with frequent exceptions), the Underground, Vogelsanger Strasse 200, hosts rock groups that include both relatively unknown local acts and high-profile bands. Bars, A 110-year-old bar, Päffgen Bräuhaus, Friesenstrasse 64-66, serves its Kölsch brand of beer, along with regional cuisine. Seating is available indoors and out. Open daily 10am to midnight. Cologne offers more diversions and distractions for gay men and women than any other city in the Rhineland. Head either to the Marienplatz area or the "Bermuda Triangle". A good gay bar for men and women is Quo Vadis Pub, near Marienplatz at Pipinstrasse 7 , open daily noon to midnight during the week and 11am to 1am on the weekend
