Geißbockheim - Clubhaus des 1. FC Köln in Köln

Beautiful clubhouse in beautiful surroundings

The ambiance is really lovely after the renovation; the outdoor area is very appealing. But I really miss Cologne dishes, like the once truly delicious Krüstchen goulash or a delicious Frikadelle! But you can still improve. All the best.

Best clubhouse in the world ❤️🤍👑👑👑⚽️🐐🇮🇩🏟

A fantastic location; you can eat and drink in peace and enjoy the view outside or watch the football on Sky inside. If you want to throw a party, you can also rent rooms. Oh, and there's an elevator, so wheelchair users can easily access it. The staff is very friendly; the wait for drinks and food is less than 10 minutes. Parking is available in P2, behind the Franz Kremer Stadium, or at the Geisbockheim, unless there's a training session or something similar.

Quite a nice location, especially for festivities.

Our home, great atmosphere and delicious food 🐐

Jürgen Andreas Bilko from 50667 Cologne RTL2 wishes the first fC Cologne all the best, lots of luck, lots of love, lots of success

👍 thank you very much for the great cooperation 😊

After the reopening, everything was great again. Super friendly service.

The location in the park is unique. The menu is okay, but without any major surprises, and the prices are reasonable.

Beautiful as always, service and food sensational

First, watch FC Bayern Munich's training session, then enjoy a delicious meal and drinks. Here, you can sit comfortably inside or on the large sun terrace. A visit to the idyllic green surroundings is highly recommended.

Unfortunately, after the renovation, it has become considerably more generic and characterless. If you take the pictures off the wall, you could just as easily be standing in one of the many interchangeable chain restaurants. Unfortunately, it's a real downgrade, and the service is also a bit hectic. A shame.

Under new management, the "Clubhouse" is reaching unprecedented heights... The "Straw Pig" with delicious fried potatoes, crisp salad, and cranberries tastes fantastic. The "Effzeh Currywurst" with freshly prepared fries is simply hearty and delicious. Mmm! Well-selected top-quality wines complete the picture. The very friendly and competent service team has apparently been completely retained and warmly welcomes guests. The location has a sophisticated ambiance with a sunny terrace. PS: Only the Kaiserschmarrn (cake too thick, a bit too dry, not enough powdered sugar) is not yet top-notch. (Complaining at a high level.) Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Ambience: 5/5

Finally found my way back to the Geißbock Heim 😇 Great service, great atmosphere, great food, and delicious beer 🍻 Definitely worth it 😇 Go FC 🐐 We'll be back Sabine and Norbert

Still 2nd division - on Sunday for the FC's away game at Geißbockheim - 20 minutes after kick-off still no picture - (we reach the IT department not-quote-waiter) - off to Birkebäumchen - amateurs

Watching FC Mainz at the Geissbockheim for the first matchday - not possible because the employees can't get Dazn started - (quote - we can't reach anyone in the IT department) at 4 p.m. to the Birkebäumchen

Unfortunately, on August 24, 2025, it was District League D. We had reserved a table and specifically requested a TV view. We got a table in the far corner, where you could only just make out that football was being played on the TV. It can happen if it's full, but advance notice would have been fair, as we had obviously reserved to watch an FC Bayern Munich game. Unfortunately, there was no game to watch in the entire restaurant for at least the first half, and no notice or even a generous apology. The menu has been scaled down and, personally, I don't like it quite as much as the old one, but the burger was okay, although I find the 45-minute wait a bit long. Overall, a disappointing visit after the reopening. We probably won't be coming back for a while.

Well, something like this really only happens in Cologne. You come with friends to watch the Bundesliga opener in a relaxed atmosphere, and then DAZN doesn't work!!! The Geissbockheim is packed. At first, everyone is quiet, but after nothing's happening at halftime, most people get up and leave. Then they try to salvage the mood with a few free beers, but that was truly a disgrace and not at all customer-friendly, not even mentioning that the drinks are on the house. So, I'll be back at home soon...it's cheaper, too.

The restaurant is very nice. The drinks were good and the service was prompt. The food looked delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat as we cut our visit short. The fact that the FC match couldn't be broadcast on matchday due to technical problems could have been avoided by dialing in earlier. Anyone who comes to the clubhouse on matchday wants to watch FC, not the second division. FC matches should be celebrated. With interviews and the anthem. Then things will work out. Just like in all the other pubs around. We ended the matchday in one of them with a Kölsch and food. Therefore, one star deducted for poor planning.

It turned out really great and the food was also top notch.

From A-Z top without any restrictions

I've been there twice in the last two weeks. The location and interior, after renovations, are great, with a terrace. Very friendly service, but... when you have to wait 35 minutes for the first Kölsch (despite asking) and 50 minutes for the food, some adjustments need to be made. Visited on August 8th and 20th. Many guests on the terrace didn't have drinks and had to wait, and payment was only possible with one person.

Super nice atmosphere 😊 with a view of the pitch below where training takes place 😁 and of course the park behind it 😉😄!!! The food was super well made and presented 😜😁!!! I was completely satisfied, the prices are still bearable for the well-made food, anytime again!!😉

Very nice shop, the beer garden is also great, prices are acceptable!

We made a reservation today because it's our son's birthday. We were able to specify that when we made the reservation. We wanted to have the famous currywurst. I was a little disappointed, as I said when we made the reservation, because it was his birthday. There was nothing decorated or anything. It was a surprise for him. And the currywurst keeps getting smaller, so it was hardly worth it. What a shame.

We visited the Geissbockheim for the first time since it reopened to celebrate my father's 85th birthday. I have to say, we were all very impressed by the great service the team provided. There was one member of the team who was wheelchair-bound, and several for whom the stairs were a challenge. When we arrived, the elevator was broken. The team immediately made sure it was repaired. That was fantastic. It was a truly lovely evening; the entire team took great care of us. The food was consistently delicious, and we didn't have to wait long for food or drinks. The portions were generous. The 1. FC Köln clubhouse has entered the 1st division.

Nothing really changed after the renovations, so it's a mystery why they had to close for so long. The summer menu is beyond meager; I wouldn't send anyone here for a meal. Especially since the prices aren't exactly cheap. Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky with the service (our first Kölsch beer took 15 minutes). At least ordering food was pretty quick, even though we were allowed to order after 20 minutes. Anyone looking for halfway comfortable chairs on the terrace is also in the wrong place; they don't even have cushions. In conclusion, you'll find the FC somewhere between the second division and the upper lower class.

Beautifully situated in a green setting. Extremely friendly service. Very clean restrooms. We only had a few drinks, as we were on our wedding trip. The menu looked very good.

Newly opened under the management of the FC itself. The menu is home-style, with schnitzel and burgers on our menu this time. Everything is delicious, reasonably priced, and there are some great beers.

It's really perfectly fine here. Many professional clubs don't have anything like this. It's a shame you don't get a view of the training ground from above. The service was a bit slow at times, but it was still bearable.

Unfortunately, the view from the terrace is now only of the weed-covered roof of the extension. It's a shame; you used to be able to see the training grounds and the beautiful area around the Decksteiner Weiher lake. The food was okay, nothing special, but quite tasty. The menu was quite small. The service wasn't perfect yet due to the changeover; there were long waits for drinks.

Finally open again!!! Five stars for a restaurant of this kind!

Not much changed after renovation, food expensive and very small portions. Staff friendly

Delicious food, very friendly staff, would go back.

How great to have you back! We had a lovely evening with Minnie and Elias, thank you!

It's become more modern without losing the charm of the Geißbockheim. Delicious cappuccino. Very friendly service.

Not normal, perfect weather today on a Saturday evening, half-full terrace, great atmosphere... just 5 past 9 and... well... we're being sent away again. Even if it's just for a drink? Yes, even then! ... We're "only open until half past 8 and we've just finished our last round. Sorry!" At first we thought, okay, he probably means 8:30, so no big deal, even if it's pretty early. But no, they're closing at 9:30 as scheduled. Well, good night then!

Absolute impudence—never again. The level of service and organization offered here is truly outrageous. We made the trip specifically to see the public training session—including a long journey. But instead, we were only disappointed. First, we actually had to wait TWO HOURS (!) for our food on the terrace of the clubhouse. Two hours for a completely mediocre, cold meal, which, given its quality and price, is an absolute disgrace. The service? Unfriendly, overwhelmed, and irritating. It took several minutes to even get drinks, and another 75 minutes later, the food finally arrived—and then it was cold and uncaring. And to top it all off, the absolute impudence of canceling the public training session at short notice—without any prior notice. Unbelievable, considering that many people travel from Cologne and the surrounding area just to see FC Köln live. The disappointment for many was immense. For me, this was clearly my last time here. Anyone who treats their fans like this should ask themselves how much longer they can afford to continue. Tradition can't gloss over everything—at some point, service and respect for the people who spend their money here matter. Conclusion: Disorganized, disrespectful, disastrous. Never again—zero stars, absolutely second-rate!

The service was a disaster! Drinks took forever, weren't filled, and were still charged. We would have loved to stay longer, but waiting 20 minutes for a Kölsch beer is a disgrace. And that's despite only half the tables being occupied.

After renovation there is still some room for improvement but it is a clubhouse not a fine dining

Very successful renovation! Beautiful clubhouse with a huge terrace, good food, and cool Kölsch beer.

What can I say? It's the Geissbockheim! I spent countless hours there as a kid, watching training. It has so many stories to tell, and the location, surrounded by greenery, is beautiful. The food court is also very inviting. But while Effzeh has been promoted and is finally back in the top division, the culinary experience was still second-division. All the dishes we tried were okay, but there was still room for improvement. While the prices are already at Champions League level, the service was super friendly. Even if a few processes will probably still need to be adjusted after the reopening. It's just like with any good team at the start of the season. 😉

The Geißbockheim, under FC Bayern's management, has been open again since Wednesday. The location is, of course, perfect. Surrounded by greenery, and if you arrive at the right time, you might see familiar faces. In my opinion, not much has changed inside or outside. But that doesn't detract from the overall atmosphere. Now for the suggestions for improvement. 1. Why do you get 0.3 liters of Kölsch without asking? 0.2 liters is standard and traditional. 2. I ordered currywurst with a roll (obligatory baguette) and still got fries. The sausage was moderately warm, and getting just one sausage for €13.50 smacks of gourmet cuisine (in terms of price). A slightly modified version of Himmel un Ääd was delicious, but even then, more like gourmet cuisine in terms of price and portion size. The beetroot carpaccio was also delicious, but some bread/baguette/roll would have been nice. 3. At 1 p.m., there's quite a lot of staff, but apparently only one person can/is allowed to take orders and cash out. So things can't move quickly; they're rather slow. You can eat there, but you don't have to.

Atmosphere is okay. Food was delicious.

The GBH is currently being renovated.

The best fresh Alsatian tarte flambée ever!!! Highly recommended

Service was very slow, Kölsch from the tap wasn't that tasty

In itself a nice (and for us loud or, to put it nicely, lively) address but temporarily closed for renovation work (as of early January 2025). Combine our walk and stopover here.

It's a really good restaurant the food is very tasty and the toilets are clean

tastiest goulash I've ever tried

Very nice, large restaurant. The employees are very nice and on the ball. The food looked very good. I had a drink before a football game. The espresso was very good. The boss revealed the secret about the coffee beans. Even if you are not a FC fan, this restaurant is highly recommended. It was very busy, so the larger parties had all reserved a table. I'll do that next time too. Lots of FC players and officials on the grounds.

There are more comfortable waiting rooms!!

As always everything was great...

Had a Christmas party there today. Nice location. Nice employees.

We've been there twice now for dinner and there was nothing to complain about on our part. Food top. Service top. Simply everything. If you want good and tasty food, we can only recommend it. The only note to everyone from the restaurant remains that way because you are the best for me. I will eat at this hot and beautiful place again and again

The 1.FC Cologne training ground is simply great. After a public session, autographs will be signed. Great experience. ⚽️👌💪

Good and very solid food meets great and very friendly service in an exceptional ambience! A menu with a large selection ensures that every palate gets its money's worth. In summer, a large terrace invites you to linger. When looking for a parking space, you can use the forest parking lot.

Very nice staff. You've barely sat down and a friendly face appears. High density of celebrities (football professionals). Very happy again

Very good food and friendly staff

Überragender Service. Absolut Erstligatauglich! Gutes Essen

It was a nice evening with friends.

Super liebe Bedienung , sehr gutes Essen . Tolles Ambiente .

Delicious food 😋... relatively long waiting time...but it was also busy! Great service staff...

Waited a little longer for the food, but everything was delicious, we'll be happy to come back.

Wir wurden ausgesprochen freundlich empfangen und der Service war über den ganzen Abend sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen war sehr lecker, besonders die FC Winter Bowl hat uns geschmeckt. Rundum gelungener Abend!

Always delicious and very nice there

It was a tour without watching a game and it was really nice.

A must for every FC Köln fan! Parking available, completely barrier-free, including wheelchair toilet. With outside terrace. Nice service, online reservation possible, prices reasonable, good portions. We can only recommend you! The RSC Cologne table tennis club says thank you for the good hospitality

War wieder sehr lohnend hier zu sein , einfach ein schöner Aufenthalt

In summer you can eat outside here.

Immer wieder ein schönes Erlebnis ins Geißbockheim zu gehen. Leckeres Essen. Toller Service. Ganz klare Empfehlung

Once again a great event as part of a company party ALSO thanks to the attentive service and the very tasty buffet.

A pleasant restaurant, good food, reasonable prices and very nice service. Not so easy to reach by bus and train, especially the way back in the dark is not nice, there are a few street lights missing here. Otherwise good and we will definitely come back

die Beschreibung, dass ein Parkplatz an dieser Adresse vorhanden ist, trifft begrenzt zu, dort ist eine Schranke und nur wenig Platz für Restaurantgäste🙈 nach Jahren war das für uns neu schade, dass der unfreundliche Herr beim Empfang, abstritt, dass hier nur diese Parkplatzadresse angegeben ist die Kellnerin machte mit ihrer netten Art das Ärgernis über den Herrn wieder weg und machte unseren Besuch doch noch zum netten Besuch

Wir hatten einen schönen Köln -Abschluss im Geißbockheim. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und der Service sehr zügig und freundlich.

Essen super Bedienung wie immer in bester Laune komme wieder

Sehr gut wie immer, gleichbleibende Qualität Alles Prima

Sehr zu empfehlen ,,, Tischkultur , Service , Essen , Terrasse, Freundlichkeit und dazu der 1A Espresso . Gerne nochmal .

Super good place. Staff was kind of super friendly. Food was good (I ordered the steak and it was super delicious), and the space overall is super comfortable. Recommended!

Friendly service, large portions and fair prices.

Das Geißbockheim bietet an für sich ein schönes Ambiente und der Außenbereich ist wirklich schön. Leider stimmt in meinen Augen das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gar nicht, da man für 2,30€ für ein Kölsch wenigstens ein volles Glas erwarten kann. Auf das Essen, welches lecker war, haben wir teilweise sehr lange gewartet. Die Currywurst hat beispielsweise 60 Minuten lang auf sich warten lassen. Die größte Enttäuschung stellt in meinen Augen der Service da, die jüngeren Servicekräfte waren sehr bemüht und aufmerksam, diese Art sollte sich der Rest des Service-Teams abschauen. Bereits bei der Platzierung an unseren Tisch wurden wir von einem unfreundlichen Kollegen in Empfang genommen, dessen Laune sich auch über die Dauer unseres Besuchs nicht besserte. Jeder kann mal einen schlechten Tag haben, aber wir haben uns nicht freundlichen empfangen und betreut gefühlt. Des Weiteren sollten an Spieltagen mindestens zwei Personen Tische abkassieren können, sonst wartet man nämlich sehr lange auf seine Rechnung und das Bezahlen.

Total zufrieden und kommen wieder. Es sind bayerische Wochen.

Today I ate Kaiserschmarrn for the first time and it was simply heavenly

The food was excellent as always. The Kaiserschmarrn with vanilla ice cream and plums was simply “divine”. Always my pleasure.

I've been a fan of Effzeh since 1970, I was there for 6 years! It was a very emotional and moving experience for me to enter the club grounds of such a traditional club and enjoy the training and the entire training area with great forest and relaxing walks. I have experienced all the successes and of course also disappointments (relegations 7)... I sincerely hope that it is now! going uphill again (once again) and finally making this club what it actually deserves! The 2nd league is damn strong with many traditional clubs and it applies to every game(s) Do everything for success, after all you are wearing the Effzeh jersey! The coach and coaching team make a very competent impression to me, which is also worth emphasizing, I think the team has arrived well in League 2 with young talent and experienced players. Now to build on the last games as quickly as possible, I'm also very optimistic that it will work. The Effzeh belongs in the Bundesliga no ifs and buts. In this sense... It was a great day for me and my wife at Effzeh with lots of nice people Finally, all I have to say is... a lot of success and also the necessary luck (only the hard-working people have that luck) Warmest regards, Ralf Schnell

Such a beautiful atmosphere! We had a great time on the terrace. The food was simply great and the staff was super friendly, charming and helpful. I absolutely recommend it. Everything is just right here!

Food was very good. Service leaves a lot to be desired. When ordering, stupid comments are made about the guests' appetite. Next time please try different service.

Nice service, good service, great view and a must for every FC Köln fan.

Schnelles und zuverlässiges Personal. Das Essen war hervorragend.

Wir waren alle wieder sehr zufrieden mit dem Besuch im Geißbockheim. Bereits im Vorfeld gab es einen netten Kontakt per Mail zwecks Reservierungsanpassung. Das Essen kam schnell, war sehr lecker und das Personal wirklich sehr freundlich. Daher erneut Daumen hoch. 👍😉

From 1986 - 1990 I lived with my family at the Geisbockheim. The clubhouse was visited very often at that time and I still like to be there today to revive old memories.

Went to the Geißbockheim again and it was very good. The food was very tasty and the good service rounded it all off, see you next time.

An absolute must for FC fans. The currywurst was very tasty, service was excellent... and with a bit of luck you might even meet one or two players here... Very easy to get to by bus, only about a 300m walk

Wir fühlten uns wunderbar aufgehoben. Selbst der Regen konnte uns Dank der perfekten Überdachung nichts angaben.

Essen und Service waren gut. Leider war er so unerträglich heiß IM Restaurant . Keine Klimaanlage nicht mal ein Ventilator für ein bisschen Luftzirkulation. Auf meine Frage nach einem Ventilator wurde das verneint. Nach einiger Zeit gab es dann doch zumindest 2 Ventilatoren…

Conditions were very friendly and the food was very tasty 😋

Top food tasted very tasty, we were really impressed.

Nice service, nice location. Only had a few drinks. Can recommend the Bayreuther Helle 😎

Especially wonderful on the terrace in summer. The only drawback is that unfortunately you no longer have a view of the training grounds from there...
