About this place Die Mumu

Die Mumu is a gay bar on Schaafenstraße, the main street of Cologne's gay nightlife quarter near Rudolfplatz. It draws mostly younger men, and the music is chart pop and dance. Regulars say the bar staff will take requests if you ask nicely. It opens every evening from 18:00 and from 15:00 at weekends. It closes around 01:30 on most nights but stays open until 05:00 on Tuesdays and 06:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, so it gets crowded after midnight when the street fills up. Ratings are mixed (3.8), which is common for a busy late bar.

I usually enjoy visiting this bar. It's a combination of a bar and a club. However, it's worth noting that neither the drinks nor the music are exceptional. Both aspects are perfectly acceptable, but nothing remarkable. The focus here is more on the social aspect: meeting people and celebrating together. Otherwise: What I like: - Charming decoration: The entire bar is decorated with great attention to detail for each occasion, according to the respective theme. - Friendly atmosphere: The bar has a relatively large number of regulars who are very welcoming and open to newcomers. - Mostly friendly staff: With only one exception, I've had exclusively positive experiences with the staff so far. What I didn't like: - Overcrowding on weekends: The number of guests on weekends is so high that access to the restrooms is difficult, and extra caution is required. - Door policy: I noticed that certain people are exempt from the minimum spend requirement. When questioned, a person who benefited from this arrangement revealed that they knew the person at the door personally. Further conversation showed that the person at the door had no knowledge of the individual's drinking habits. This constituted preferential treatment based on personal connections. This practice is not well-received by other guests and could be problematic under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), despite existing house rules. Similar behavior was also observed in the queue.
