What makes Kaiserin special
Zur Kaiserin is a small corner pub right on Heumarkt, between Barcelon and Baustelle 4U. Most guests sit at the bar, drink a relaxed Kölsch and quickly get talking. Prices are cheap by Cologne standards.
Atmosphere and crowd
As in all the bars on Heumarkt the crowd is older, and Kaiserin even has the oldest in the Cologne scene: most guests are between 50 and 70. Unlike at neighbouring Baustelle 4U, you occasionally meet women here too.
The flirt factor is medium, because everyone talks to each other at the small bar.
A good fit if you …
- want a cosy start to the evening
- are over 50 or like that crowd
- are doing a tour of Heumarkt
Not ideal if you …
- are looking for a young crowd
- want to go out on a Monday, it’s closed then
