Korkenzieher Champagner, Wein & Ginbar

In the location's words:

Unconventional. Authentic. Unique. Welcome to the Korkenzieher - Wine, Champagne & Gin Bar in Cologne: a small, stylish address for all those who take wine, champagne and classic drinks seriously - but without any stiff posturing. Here you can sit and relax, drink well and stay for "one last glass".

Wine

Our wine list is deliberately curated and yet diverse: cuvées from France, exciting Chardonnays, plus character from regions such as Bordeaux and the Rhône - from fresh, uncomplicated glasses to bottles that can also be a bit of an occasion, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape. If you like to explore, we recommend wines to suit your taste - from elegant and mineral to full and spicy.

Champagne

We offer hand-picked champagne from small houses and winegrowers: lots of personality, lots of signature, fine bubbles and just right for dates, small celebrations or simply a very good Tuesday.

Gin

Gin is not just gin and tonic for us - but the selection is large. You'll find Tanqueray, Monkey 47, Hendrick's, Plymouth, Aviation Gin, Knut Hansen (also Earl Grey & Bergamot), The Botanist Islay Dry and Cask Rested, Portofino Dry, The Illusionist Dry Gin, Gin Mare, Ukiyo Tokyo Dry with Yuzu and Blossom, Brockmans, Four Pillars in different varieties, Hayman's Old Tom, Zuidam Oude Genever, Seewasser Gin and more. If you like, we can also make you classic drinks - clean, cold and no nonsense.

Drinks & classics

There are many classics on the menu that you really want to drink: Martini (gin or vodka), Negroni (including variations such as Sbagliato), Boulevardier, Americano, French 75, Tom Collins, Gin Rickey, Gin Basil Smash, Whiskey Sour, Gin Sour, Rum Sour and a properly stirred Old Fashioned. We also offer high-quality spritz drinks and a fine non-alcoholic selection.

Little things to share

We also serve our charcuterie with salami, ham and more, as well as a selection of oysters and other small, suitable snacks - just the thing to accompany wine, champagne or an aperitif.

Whether it's a date, a relaxed evening with friends or a spontaneous after-work drink: the Korkenzieher in Cologne is the bar for anyone looking for a wine bar, champagne bar and gin bar in one - and who values quality, atmosphere and good conversation.
