The Copper Pot - Köln in Köln

We were a little overwhelmed by the Christmas Market crowds so we looked for a place to sit and have a drink before we left Cologne. The Copper Pot was perfect! Kind of tucked away, it was just what I needed. The beer was good and reasonably priced, the service was fast and friendly. I loved the decor and photos on the walls. Totally recommend this little Irish pub!

Nice place for a drink, but a bit of a strange smell at the bottom floor

Good Guinness (best I've had outside Ireland), great barmen.

Very small room, quaint Irish pup. Great atmosphere, with live music that evening.

Irish pub with very friendly and fast service! Watching football possible

Very pleasant and close treatment from the waiter, as well as a cozy atmosphere.

Fast service, international audience, cozy atmosphere, I just pulled a quick Guinness

Nice ambience and great service - Parni is the best 💃🏼

Great place with beautiful music acts.

Great Irish bar, Alex behind the bar was Irish and gave great service, Guinness very well poured and went down nicely. Good tunes too, well worth a trip when in Köln.

As usual to early for music but the barmaid was good craic

Every now and then I visit a good friend in Cologne. When I'm there, of course we'll go to 'The Copper Pot'. Food: The peanuts are A1 :-) Service: We then wash it down with the much better and friendly tapped Guinness. Boy, there's nothing better! Ambiance: Fits too. However, a 1sqm² industrial fan would be good every now and then to exchange the air in the pub :-) In summary: A very cool shop!

Went here for drinks and love music, had an amazing time!

Unfortunately there is only bagged peanuts to eat. But no problem, because there are many alternatives to fill up in the immediate vicinity of Heumarkt. The pub is rather small and therefore very cozy, especially on the ground floor. When live music is played the whole place rocks. There are very tasty house beers and the usual Irish beers here. We had a lovely evening. Recommended 😊

Really nice bar with amazing music and Alex did a great job, very nice guy that recommended local beer and accepted music recommendations, I had a great time thanks to him

I've been to the Copper Pot 4 times now And I have nothing to criticize Very tasty drinks and very nice staff and audience The drinks on the menu could be a bit bigger. Small font. But fair prices A good idea to do karaoke on Wednesdays and live music every Friday! This ensures variety and a good mood. Can you also eat something on site?

Attentive barman and super friendly too!

Wonderful staff, great craic and good vibes all night long. Though my husband lost a good few of his shirt buttons here in a Karaoke incident (If you know, you know)... I hear if you find one, it's considered lucky.

Absolute carnage on the weekend small enough to take over with a big group , ‘mon the boys!

Parni is awesome, quietish spot, treats guests with tremendous hospitality, super nice place! 2024 update: Alex is a legend, Parni still rocks, still the best bar in Cologne.

Always great there. Smallest Irish Pub but one of the best. 😃

in this bar it is a crime to have fun. The owner just comes to you and screamsbad words“ without explaining the problem. Never going in this bar again….the stuff is unfriendly

The rudest pub in the world. Learn how to deal with people

Super friendly place to have a drink. After 9:00pm they hay live music, which is great. A great place to meet people.

Hello Jason. Very good live music...the waitress was very unfriendly from the start and we from the brigade at Gürzenich will think about whether we come back again. Especially since she pocketed the tip without asking. As a thank you, there was a ban on the house even though it was unfounded and she wasn't the owner either. Arrogant girl. Please be fair, it wasn't good, I hope it doesn't stay that way.

Lovely place, good atmosphere and a really nice bartender! If I were a local this would be my regular place

Very tasty draft beers, great bartenders and a great atmosphere with a good atmosphere. The prices are also very fair. Only recommended

Love that they have live music. Would like to see a local American musician there more often. 😉

Worst place, bunch of goons running the place. All fabricated reviews - avoid it and enjoy your Cologne trip in other hip and happening places Copper Pot - The Irish Pub was a big disappointment

Was okay. Furniture in the style of a punk bar from the 70s

Cool music, friendly service, great evening

Oooh my, what a lovely eving we had in TCP, Alex is a great bartender, he is very entertaining and funny. Keep up the good vibe..

Great night had by all last Sunday 12th May brilliant atmosphere.

Very nice pub with great attention to detail

After my first (not so good) experience at the Copper Pot, I gave the pub two more chances and now give my final rating. In itself the Copper Pot is a small, authentic restaurant but: During the last visit there were no drink menus and there was no price for the drinks anywhere. The final price might as well have been a roll of the dice. For example, the price for the Berry Cider increased by 90 cents. How should you know about the price increase? There was no longer a drinks menu. In addition, when I paid, I was told that there was now a minimum consumption value. Not a problem in itself, but you have to mention it BEFORE ordering so that you still have the opportunity to leave the store. So I suddenly found myself faced with a fait accompli. The service was consistently nice, but the previous points should have been communicated before the order was placed. Unfortunately, the pub quiz is no longer recommended due to the terrible sound quality. Because the Game Master is difficult to understand. Even if the technology box was played around with a bit, the quality didn't improve. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the Copper Pot and will avoid it in the future.

Super cozy, good selection of Scotch.Music is atmospheric.

Nice little cafe, music and good choice of beer and whiskey

Nice Irish pub with good music, nice beer selection, fair prices and nice staff. Sky available!

Great atmosphere, just like you would imagine an Irish pub to be. The third of us became aware of the pub by chance. The bartender was really nice and offered alternatives (in my case there was no Kilkenny, but I was offered a similar beer). A nightcap turned into 4 hours because it was just nice.

The beer is great and the service is great

traditional nice place to drink your beers in a traditional pub in Cologne

I didnt get any food there, but the girl who was serving us was super nice and explained the beers (we prefer wine) and made very good suggestions.

Great bartender! Went there with work. And it was so much fun!

Hi I was here as a Danish guy. First time 🙏 Awesome time and amazing service 🤩🤩 Especially Alex... he was a greate bartender 😉🙏

Good beer, friendly staff, good prices, cool rock music, and though I didn’t play, I had a great time on quiz Tuesday. A place that deserves a visit.

Great bar, great beers, great staff!

Crazy atmospheric Irish pub with fair entry and live music.

Really friendly owner, will come back next time I’m in koln

Entrance 5 euros with beer Great music

Didn’t enjoy. Staff were unfriendly with disinterested service which I may also get an unfriendly reply judging by other low star reviews here, drinks had a metallic taste to them and had to pay for a ticket to enter. Better ‘Irish’ pubs around unfortunately and won’t be back.

Were here today and had great live music and atmosphere.

Wir haben nur einen Absacker getrunken

Small Irish pub in one of the most touristic parts of Cologne. Cozy and fun, with good beer and average prices. Service was good and the musician was amazing and made everybody sing with her. It was a nice evening.

Nice little Irish pub as you are used to. Irish beer on tap, lots of TVs with sports and there was also live music. Very atmospheric place

Simply rustic and a feel-good place in the middle of Cologne 😁🥃😁🍻

Gezellig om even een drankje te doen. Klein en knus maar hele fijne sfeer.

Wenn es live Musik gibt, tolle Stimmung. Kommt dann englischen/irischen Pubs auf der Insel sehr nahe!

The security guy asked me for money to get inside, is this normal???

Awesome venue for a few beers and the game on ski tv

Hele gezellige Ierse Pub! Knusse inrichting en hartelijke mensen.

Great little pub with very friendly staff and good service

Good beer and live music. Loved it

Gemütlicher Irish Pub, mit sehr freundlichem Service und toller Live Musik! Update 02.12. etwa 2 Uhr: Schade, das war diesmal gar nicht schön, die Toiletten eine reine Katastrophe! Dann bezahlt man 6 Euro Mindestverzehr und bekommt Wertmarken, was ja total in Ordnung ist. Aber es wird einem nicht gesagt, das diese nur für bestimmtes Bier einzulösen sind. Über sowas sollte man vom arroganten Türsteher allerdings vorher informiert werden. Absolut nicht in Ordnung.

Gemütlicher Pub mit toller Live-Musik (z. B. Cameron!)

Nachdem wir eine größere Gruppe waren und alle was bestellten sind wir in den oberen Abteil des Lokals hinaufgegangen und haben hier dementsprechend miteinander geredet und zugegebenermaßen "Lautstark" gesungen. Daraufhin ist der Besitzer zu uns gekommen, hat uns Verbal beleidigt und uns gedroht uns rauszuschmeißen. Das haben wir uns nicht gefallen lassen und haben das Lokal einfach verlassen da es kein normaler Umgang mit Kunden ist.

Cosy little Irish pub with decent Guinness. Barman was super accommodating, charged our phones, offered tips of places to visit and kept the pints coming. Highly recommend.

Super Pub in Köln. Sehr authentisch. Das Fragespiel war sehr unterhaltsam! IMMER WIEDER!!

Gute Stimmung, gutes Bier. Viele Leute.

Gestern nach Alligatoah Konzert noch sehr gemütlich oben gechillt bei Whiskey Ginger Ale bis 2.30 h. Sehr toller Pub, immer gerne wieder

Feine rockige Musikauswahl, gute Stimmung (vor allem zu späterer Stunde), Biere schmecken. Allerdings auch nichts außergewöhnliches und doch eher von Touristen "überlaufen", aber grundsätzlich ein solides Irish Pub.

Great place! Especially the Pub Quiz on Tuesdays we can recommend very much!

Sehr nettes Irish Pub. Die Livemusik war hervorragend.

They didn’t allow me to have a pint because I was with my son. Super disappointing 😏

Irish pub with one of the rudest barmen I've ever met. Absolutely packed as they had live music which was really good and certainly bringing in the crowds. Real shame as it seems like a nice place but the guy behind the bar didn't even have the basic concept of good manners or customer service, just plain rude. We didn't have more than one drink as we didn't like the lack of manners.

Sehr schön eingerichtet mit toller Atmosphäre und großartiger Live Musik

Quizmaster seems to be a funny dude.

Habe schon bessere Pub's besucht. War nicht gut besucht (22:00) Uhr. Wollten aber ein Bier statt Kölsch trinken. Es kam niemand, so holten wir das Bier vom Tresen selbst an unseren Tisch. Naja, so ist es nicht einmal in Irland ...

Had a terrible experience today. Was told ‘cash only’. I asked if I can pay by card after getting drinks worth €20. The guy behind the counter was absolutely rude and said “don’t try to play games with me”. The last thing I want to do after a long, tiresome day is playing games with you, dude! A shame to the Irish pubs in the city. Avoid if you can.

The perfect Irish Pub experience. Meeting new friends, meeting old friends, hearing old songs and staying up far past the time the pub should have closed.

Great quiz on Tuesdays. We’ll come back 😃

It was a wonderful evening in Cologne on Thursday. The live band is really really good. When are the better Irish pubs I've seen in nrw

Pub was proper, good atmosphere and the live music was great. Shoutout Alex behind the bar, sound boyo.

Great pub ran by great people, big respect to Alex

A great craic! a lively atmosphere if you are watching the match or listening to the live music. The beer is very reasonable and the lad from Tipperary is a legend.

We did the pub quiz and the categories were really fun!!

Last place on Tuesday’s quiz here can’t get any better. Warning: come once, make a habit out of it.

Nice and friendly place to have a drink and watch sport. The Guinness and Hophouse were good quality, no complaints

Great place, music, fresh nice Guiness. Loved it!

Make sure you have enough cash in your pocket because if you come as a visitor they will make you pay as much as they want before informing you that they only except card for a bill above 20€ and then play with you.

Top atmosphere, cosy Irish pub with lively music nights and a really fun pub quiz

Tolles Quiz am Dienstag auf Englisch

Drinks only experience for me. Had 2 great nights in here during my stay in koln. The small but spacious bar is a great place to catch a musical act or enjoy the pub quiz (helpfully in english for me) got chatting with some locals and some expats who live in koln now... A great place!

Just awesome. Live music both nights and the atmosphere was fantastic. Full of locals and tourists, everyone was so friendly.

Very Lovely Pints, staff and atmosphere but unfortunately the handsome, ginger Irish guy left last week. still an UNREAL spot.

Siempre que vamos mis amigos y yo lo pasamos genial, es para nosotros el mejor PUB de colonia, los camareros son muy amables y los tragos que hacen muy buenos.

Weekly trivia pub quiz on Tuesdays is so fun!

I had good evening of Dancing and Singing, perfect Music from Ukrainian Singer Anatolii 👌🎼🏳️‍🌈👍🤩

Great atmosphere and bartenders, favorite bar in Cologne - pet friendly too!

Sooo danke für einen gemütlichen Abend und für das interessante Quiz! Diese Bar ist cool, ganz gemütlich, das Guinnessbeer schmeckt da lecker :) Die Atmosphäre ist freundlich, sehr international. Ich bin zum Quizabend da gegangen und ich fand es wirklich spannend aber auch ziemlich schwierig xD Leider bieten sie hauptsächlich Getränke, nur wenige Snacks. Ich hoffe dass das sich irgendwann ändert :)

Leckerer Cider. Tolle Live Music.
