About this place Bastard Bar & Cafe

Bastard Bar & Cafe is a mixed, gay-friendly cafe-bar on Friesenwall, around the corner from the Ehrenstraße shopping street in Cologne. It's not a gay bar. Older listings describe coffee and food during the day, drinks into the early evening, tables in a courtyard and a roof terrace in summer. Our data is thin and has no current opening hours, so confirm it's still running before you make a special trip. Cologne's main gay bars are around Schaafenstraße and the Heumarkt, both within walking distance.

One of the few quiet spots in Cologne's city center. The café is located in a courtyard and is mainly frequented by locals. Perfect for visitors to the city to relax after a night of drinking. Pleasant atmosphere, beautiful green courtyard, sunny rooftop terrace (weather permitting), large selection of drinks, delicious homemade snacks, fast free Wi-Fi, and it's easy to strike up a conversation. I'll gladly return whenever I'm back in Cologne.

The café was quiet, but the service was far too slow, even though there were hardly any customers.

I like this place. The team is very friendly and the service is fantastic. But most of all, I love the names some of the drinks have been given. :D

Nice but shady courtyard, rather cramped interior, predominantly gay clientele. Food and drinks were quite good, staff were rather rough and unfriendly.
