Exile: Cologne's most popular Dance Bar
Come here to dance, sing and laugh: Exile is located on Cologne's gayest street, Schaafenstraße, and is one of the LGBT community's favorites. On Fridays and Saturdays, the gay bar is packed with people from Cologne and visitors alike. People come here to dance and drink plenty of Kölsch beer. Most DJs play pop and sometimes even carnival music. The best evenings in Cologne definitely start here!
