About

Party Carnival in Cologne's Uni City    ✖      LOCATION: Zülpicher Straße between Roonstaße & Dasselstraße    ✖      Nothing planned really for the day... So feel free to post to the discussions on the EVENT PAGES to suggest something to do for Friday before nighttime.    ✖      At some time in the evening, we will leave with our CS'ers to get to Zülpicher Straße - or perhaps first some place for dinner... Zülpicher is a party mile - so there's lots of offers and that usually leads to the group splitting up at some point and then finding back together again - and so on. A good place to start (since it has the most space for bigger groups - and the entrance fee they ask is quite moderate compared to most other places!) is the "Cubana Bar" ( https://goo.gl/maps/Re3Pyd3xn3m1tUDu8 ) so that's where we're probably heading for first!!! - Another place where we sooner or later often end up (in spite of yet another little entrance of maybe 5€ or so - usually incl. the first drink…) is the "Cuba Bar" just opposite ( https://goo.gl/maps/87YK3yKj48Rjibqu6 ) - also because they play much less Carnival music 😉 In the past Hanna sometimes could talk to the bouncers and actually got our group in for free at some point! We also MIGHT try to get into "Oma Kleinmann" pub ( https://goo.gl/maps/P9y2K2H1amEVWSbd8 ), Zülpicher Str. 9, about 250m from ZÜLPICHER PLATZ tram stop down the street on the LEFT, because it's perhaps the most "original" Colognean pub here and the one where they play the most Cologne Carnival music. For those very reasons, however, it's usually super cramped, and we might have to stand in line for very long to get in (hourS! Literally!!!) and thus opt for some other place. ALSO they were actually closed on Weiberfastnacht in recent years... BUT ACTUALLY WE MIGHT JUST BE ANYWHERE ON ZÜLPICHER - EVEN JUST ON THE STREET (it will be closed for traffic most of the time during Carnival) and have cheap(er) beers and stuff from the Kiosks. So be prepared to invest some time and effort into finding us there 😉
