About

Party Carnival on one of Cologne's favorite Party Miles!    ✖      LOCATION: Jameson Distillery Pub, Friesenstraße 30-40, Cologne, Germany    ✖      Nothing planned really for the day... So feel free to post to the discussions on the EVENT PAGES to suggest something to do for Saturday before nighttime. You might also go for some local parade already - especially if you can't join us for the one in Rodenkirchen on Sunday (" Cologne Carnival 2026 - SUN 15 Feb 2026, DAY - Rodenkirchen" - ☞!ⒻⒾⓃⒹ ⒶⓁⓁ ⒸⓈ&ⒻⒷ-ⓁⒾⓃⓀⓈ ⒷⒺⓁⓄⓌ!☜!). The ones closest to our flat are the ones in in Riehl starting at 14:30 and (a bit further away) Ossendorf starting at 14:00 - but there are also several others in other districts all over the town: https://www.koeln.de/karneval/umzuege/ll/karnevalszuege-veedelszuege/#samstag    ✖      This night we'll party on on "Friesenstraße" [ FreezenStrusser ] (see Directions below!): Cologne's main party mile where all the people go who've (very often just recently) finished their studies and/or make their own money already and thus one of the most favorite regions for the "still young" people in general to party in pubs and traditional brewing houses and fancy clubs and bars. Not that that really matters when everybody is wearing a costume and all of the places play mostly Cologne Carnival music anyways😉   We will be at the Jameson Irish Pub ( https://goo.gl/maps/3b5xdE8oJdhdVAG96 ) for most of the night! It's one of the largest places here, has a nice outdoors area AND YET there's usually no problem getting in with (for the last few years) comparatively little entrance fee which includes the first drink!   YET some might also try to get into the (in)famous "KleinKöln" ( https://goo.gl/maps/AuPw9BdrKodJJ9ST7 - google it!) or even more "hip" places like Heising & Adelmann ( https://goo.gl/maps/uu5wLbuM2MbCxsJW7 ) - though there is definitely gonna be a long(er) queue and higher entrance fees to get in there!!!   NO IDEA how long we're gonna stay there or when we'll be home - can be 2, 3, 4am!
