Zülpicher Platz – Lines 9, 12, 15
Dasselstrasse/Bahnhof Süd - 9
Zülpicher
Platz is a busy metro station that, unsurprisingly, backs on to
Zülpicher Strasse – the end where all the nightlife is to be
found. In short, it is a great area for an evening out and is packed
with pubs, bars, restaurants and fast-food outlets. Whether you are
looking to share a few quiet drinks and a dessert with friends, or
you are looking to drink and party until the early hours, you will
find a venue on or around Zülpicher Strasse to suit. Here are just
a few of my favourites...
Oscar
Zülpicher Platz – 9, 12, 15
Oscars is a great place to start or end an evening out. The cocktail
menu is extensive, food and drinks reasonably priced and the location
is prime. It is the perfect location to meet a group of friends over
cocktails and pizza whilst the cavalry gradually assembles and,
especially on warm summer days when the façade is opened up, it is a
great little vantage point to check the times of the trams running
from Zülpicher platz whilst winding down with a glass of warm milk
and honey.
If a night out is on the cards, Oscars is situated right next to a
couple of, as far as I can recall, decent and reasonably inexpensive
clubs, 'Cent Club', and student haunt 'Das Ding'.
Expect offers on vodka mixers and cheesy music best left in the 90s –
two things that seem to compliment each other.

Dasselstrasse/Bahnhof Süd - 9
If value for money is your thing, and you don't mind the odd pizza,
then definitely pay a visit here. The food is good and, for most
people at least, probably more than you can reasonably eat (if your
table has a full compliment of diners then the waiting staff will
struggle to fit the pizzas on the table). The staff are also
incredibly friendly and helpful. They went beyond the call of duty
to help me when I sat down in there once to find out that my purse
had been stolen.
MTC
Zülpicher Platz – 9, 12, 15
MTC is a great little live venue situated on Zülpicher Strasse.
Tickets are inexpensive and the bands are often great finds ! I
coincidentally saw a gig there from a band (Lauter Leben) who I'd
previously seen only a few weeks earlier supporting Silbermond at
Köln Palladium (a very big venue). Check out their bookings, you
could be in for a treat.
