Museum is a Cologne night-out institution, planted right on the buzzy Zülpicher Platz in the student heart of the Kwartier Latäng. Part bar, part dance floor, part karaoke stage, it is a cheerfully unpretentious spot that packs in a young, up-for-it crowd most nights of the week.
The formula is simple and fun: fairly cheap drinks, a proper dance-along soundtrack and karaoke several nights a week, usually kicking off around ten. It is the sort of place you roll into as one bar among many on a Zülpicher Straße crawl and end up staying far longer than planned.
Local tip: It gets going late and busy at weekends, so come after ten and be ready for a squeeze. The karaoke nights are the signature — turn up with a song in mind and dive in.
