About this place ExCorner Cologne

ExCorner is a gay bar on Schaafenstraße, the main street of the so-called Bermuda Triangle near Rudolfplatz, where most of Cologne's gay bars are packed into a few blocks. It is a plain neighbourhood-style bar with a mixed male crowd, more for a beer and conversation than for a show. It opens at 19:00 every day and runs to 04:00 on weeknights and 06:00 on Friday and Saturday, so it often works as a late stop after the other bars on the street wind down. No dress code to speak of. Phone ahead if you want to confirm hours around Carnival or CSD weekend, when the area is at its busiest.

I was verbally abused, defended myself, and got thrown out. And the people who cause trouble are allowed to stay. Thanks for that, shitty place.

Worst place ever. If you're harassed or insulted, the bouncer protects the perpetrators – what a shame.
