The bar team knows almost every drink, the cocktails are lovingly garnished, and the Iron probably has the biggest drinks selection on the street. For occasions like Halloween, everything is decorated to match.The highlight of the year is the CSD party: the Iron opens its windows and doors and fills Schaafenstraße with techno and house.Atmosphere and crowdThe crowd is older than at Mumu and younger than at ExCorner. It is the most international on the street, with many guests from the Benelux countries and from English- and Arabic-speaking countries. More often than in other bars on the street, women come along with their gay friends.The flirt factor is medium: people dance with abandon, but things get less wild than next door.BackgroundOwner Rodja Hozouri took over the Iron in April 2012 together with her partner Nadia and has run it on her own since Nadia’s death in 2024. She is one of the few lesbian bar owners in the Cologne scene.A good fit if you …like good cocktails and long drinksare looking for an atmospheric bar for a datelike an international, mixed crowdNot ideal if you …are looking for a pub with Cologne schlagerwant to go out on a Sunday or Monday, as it is closed thenOur tip: For a date, the small back room on the right before the stairs to the toilets is worth it.
