Lounge Bars in North Rhine-Westphalia
The star of the evening: arrack, a fermented palm nectar from Sri Lanka, in the middle of the Agnesviertel in Cologne. The Sri Lankan touch can be felt everywhere, especially in the exquisite cocktails. Their aromas send our taste buds on a journey to faraway places. You can spend balmy summer nights on the cozy terrace.
The Victorian era meets a touch of Bud Spencer. Whisk(e)y and gin are at the heart of the action. In addition to Kölsch, other characterful beers are also part of the repertoire. The cocktails, however, distance themselves from the nostalgic flair: they have never been more aesthetically pleasing.
Everyone will find their second living room in Recklinghausen's Westviertel. Casual enjoyment is the focus here, whether with wine, beer, classic cocktails or spontaneous creations. The cosy and warm atmosphere brings everyone together; the regulars mixing with visitors to the Ruhr Festival.
First a Kölsch - and then a "Ginger Basil Smash". At Rosebud, everything is possible for everyone, and you can feel it. Here, alcohol-free doesn't mean boring juice mixes, but sophisticated drinks that leave you speechless for a moment. Anyone looking for inspiration will definitely find it here. The atmosphere is infectious.
No Babylonian myth: roses seem to grow from the ceiling in this corner pub - and real ones after the third "Eichhörnchen" at the latest. The hazelnut schnapps tastes best on the plush sofas or in the rustic wing chairs - the impressive beer selection brings guests back to Cologne reality.
