My girlfriend and I had a great time at The Bear. The ambience was super chill and we had a comfy couch to ourselves where we enjoyed our drinks and some snacks. The snacks were on the house :) Our waitress Grace made us feel very welcome and it was really fun to talk to her about the bar’s drinks and Cologne in general. She even gave us some recommendations for our night out before we left. Will definitely come hang out at The Bear again!

We've been there with a group of five and had 3 drinks each. Every single cocktail we had was amazing. My favourite was the Cucumber Cooler, which the waitress recommended to me. The Ambiente was really cozy and the service was good.

Best Gin bar in Köln! Amazing service. Judith was so attentive and nice. For just 2 persons running the bar, with a lot of patrons, drinks were quick and delicious. Inside is cozy and just a really chill vibe. I thoroughly enjoyed being there.

Best Gin Bar in Cologne. The force is with them. security is the infamous villain Darth Vader himself. Agents M&J will lure you in with welcoming ambience and you will absolutely love the fantastic drinks. There are so many hidden jokes and details in this bar that you will feel like Alice in Wonderland. Once you go down the rabbit hole you will always come back.

The Bär sure is an hidden gem. This gin bar is absolutely a must go. Very good ambiance that is very conducive to a good time with friends. Drinks are as creative as they are delicious. I had a gin with bacon, and that was an awesome twist to this drink.
