About this place IxBar

IxBar is a long-running gay bar on Mauritiuswall, right in the middle of Cologne's Bermudadreieck, the cluster of queer venues around Rudolfplatz. It is an unpretentious neighbourhood spot where a friendly, mixed-age crowd gathers for drinks and easy conversation, and it sits within a short walk of the Schaafenstraße and Mühlenbach bars that make up the rest of the scene.

After an extremely warm day I have just visited this empty bar with my life 'Dutch' partner for a drink. A tall effeminate muscle guy in harness behind the bar was so unfriendly to me. I ordered (in English, as I am tourist and do not speak German) 2 glasses of white wine and he said I had to pay 11,60 euro. I gave him 20 euro and didn't get my 8,40 euro back but 7,20 euro instead without saying anything or even looking at me. Not even words like please, thank you or smile (but he was friendly to other German customers who came after us)! He was also busy with his 'German' colleagues and friends who are so drunk and high. Horrible! That's not the way you treat customers, especially tourist! If you are a tourist, especially Asian or not Caucasian, avoid this bar! The staffs are rude, arrogant and racist. The drinks are overpriced and they are not honest too. I will come back to visit Cologne but will definitely avoid this place! You have been warned!

WORST OF COLOGNE! This club especially dislike foreigners. For a tourist coming to Cologne I honestly would not recommend wasting your time here. Very racist and arrogant staff, specially one waitress, Denis, a very aggressive muscle queen. He was not only rude and arrogant but condescending and racist. Maybe he doesn't like you don't speak German like him? Maybe only a nazi- loser? Who knows and who cares - don't waste your night in this dirty and seedy place- enjoy yourself a more equal non rasist club and enjoy Cologne!!
