One of my favorite venues in the city is the Stadtgarten restaurant and club alongside the beautiful parc of the same name. Highly recommended are the Cologne Sessions parties which take place in the legendary basement called Studio 672.

Café Duddel is a café and bar near University that looks like if it is hosting generations of students since decades.

In the evening there are sometimes small concerts or lections too.
