About this place Baustelle 4U

Baustelle 4U is a gay bar on Kolumbastraße in central Cologne, run by host Werner and his team. The interior is home-built, with self-made tables, odd door handles and decorations that change. There's also a lighting rig, and the owner chooses the music himself. People sing along, dance and flirt as the night goes on. It opens at 16:00 every day (15:00 on Sundays) and stays open until 01:00 on weeknights and 03:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Weeknights are mostly local regulars. Weekends get busier and more like a party. Reviews average 3.9.

Very friendly. Close to the action. Great place to grab a drink and relax. Try the lemon cello spritz!

Unfortunately, I had to delete my previous positive review. After many years as a guest, an incident occurred today that we found unacceptable. What started as a pleasant evening ended when another, extremely wok-obsessed guest deliberately smashed a wine glass against the bar. This resulted in broken glass, a damaged cell phone, and wine spilled on clothing. However, what was particularly disappointing for us was how the situation was handled. Instead of a proper explanation or apology, we felt that the focus was more on wok self-promotion than on resolving the incident objectively. The scene is increasingly dominated by self-promoters. We enjoyed being guests here for many years, but we will no longer be visiting Baustelle4you. It's a shame, because until now we had mostly positive experiences.

You like bears, leather, older gentlemen or just regular friendly guys? Go here. They treated us like gold! Danke. :) We were here for quite awhile which is reflected in the amount we spent per person.

A friend and I went in, and it turns out they don't allow women... It's so sad that discrimination exists in bars like this. It doesn't make sense.

Good music, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. And yes, it's a bar where women aren't allowed.

We hadn't been to the construction site for years, but since André started welcoming us there with empathy and charm, it's fun again. Carsten and Marc also deserve a mention. We always enjoy coming back. Hugs from Vallendar
