Schampanja

Cologne's alternative gay institution since 1985, Schampanja sits in the 'Bermuda Triangle' neighbourhood with dim lighting, indie and punk music, and a crowd typically in their 30s and 40s. It is one of the oldest continuously running gay bars in the city.

Open continuously since 1985 — one of Cologne's longest-running gay bars Plays indie and punk rather than pop, attracting a distinctly alternative queer crowd Located in the Bermuda Triangle, distinct from the Schaafenstraße strip
