Comment: A very small, slightly dingy, but very endearing pub near Barbarossaplatz square. You can stand or sit by the bar. At the back there are another two-and-a-half tables.
The Metronom’s furnishings remind you of a typical corner pub. Brown in colour and on top of that, even more tarnished from the smoke. Only the photos of jazz musicians on the walls give you a hint that this could be something entirely different.
What really makes this place, are the jazz records that are played here. Their crackling sound makes for a cool, cozy atmosphere, which is an absolute treat.
They serve all kinds of drinks. The very friendly barman will add a shot of freshly squeezed lemon to your gin and tonic, giving it an almost unexpected fresh taste. Most importantly, you’ll never be without a drink. Given the small size of the pub, the attentive staff is always close at hand.
All in all, a wonderful pub to sit back in and chat.

Beware! You walk into this place and time immediately starts messing with your head. You enter at 11.30 pm, stay for ten minutes and when you get out, you will discover that you've been there for three and a half hours. And enjoyed every minute of it.
Best place in Köln for jazz and guinness.
