The music is mostly Cologne schlager, and many guests sing along and sway arm in arm. You sit on a windowsill, stand at a high table or dance in the middle of the room. The Kölsch is among the cheapest on the street.At weekends it is often so full that you wait a few minutes outside the door. At Carnival and during CSD the ExCorner is one of the focal points of Schaafenstraße, and you then need an entry wristband, usually at the lowest price on the street.Atmosphere and crowdThe crowd is mostly over 40. Alongside Schampanja, the ExCorner is the only bar around Schaafenstraße aimed at men in their forties and fifties. If you like older men, this is the place for you.The flirt factor is high: the lively music and the crush mean you quickly get talking. Often someone smiles at you as soon as you walk in.A good fit if you …want to meet men over 40like singing along to Cologne schlagerare celebrating Carnival or CSD on SchaafenstraßeNot ideal if you …want a quiet conversationare looking for an under-30 crowd; Mumu, Exile and Nachteule are the places for thatOur tip: At weekends, come before 11 pm; later it gets tight at the door. Mumu and Iron are right next door, and the ExCorner works well as the start or end of a tour of Schaafenstraße.ContactPhone0221 2336060Instagram@cornercologneFacebookFacebook pageEditorially researched, as of October 2026.
