About this place Schampanja

Schampanja is a gay bar on Mauritiuswall in the Bermuda Triangle, Cologne's gay district around Rudolfplatz, directly opposite Ixbar. It's an alternative bar for drinks and conversation rather than a club, and the crowd is mostly in its 30s and 40s. It's open every night from 8pm to 5am, so it often ends up as a late stop after the dance bars nearby. It gets busiest on weekends and during Carnival and Pride (CSD) week.

One of the oldest gay bars in Cologne's trendy district. Accordingly, the clientele is older. No food.

Far too loud in the evenings, they don't observe quiet hours.
