    We walked around when the community was closed but it looks like a very cool venue for live music. In a seedy part of the city. The artworks were fun to look at but it could use a little more updated pieces to stay relevant.

    Yes, it is definitely a must go for techno lovers. The music was amazing!! BUT, I really didn't like the fact that we (a group of almost 12 people, all from frankfurt) had to stand for almost 2 hours to get in. They suddenly stop the entrance without reason. It is like you have to get their permission to stand 2 hours and to spend a lot of money. Another thing that amassed me was that they had a looot of space outside but only two pretty small floors. Didn't get that. Outside is perfect if you want to chill, but if you want to dance you have to find a place in one of this tiny rooms. I liked it but I think it's a once-in-a-life-thing :)

    Loved the Mad Max vibe but a bit lacking on the service and amenities side of things

    The best party place in Köln with both hard techno and melodic techno line up. Drinks are at a nominal price with amazing crowd. Dance floor was not spacious but manageable. Staff and bouncers are supportive. Had a fun time, surely recommended.

    Good location for a private party Set up in an old junkyard, with unique décor and a very bizarre distribution of space and rooms, but it grows on you. I am ambivalent about ambience. The grafitti on the wall is messy but in the dark you hardly notice. Authentic cobwebs in the cloakroom. Large and spacious indoor and outdoor areas. Interesting sculptures and scrapbm art; out of mad-max. The trains run overhead just beyond the walls, interesting juxtaposition. Rather wet and damp in the winter, must be lovely in the summer.

    One of the most popular Techno clubs in Köln. Outdoors events in the summer. Indoor is really small and lack ventilation. Recommended

  • 5/5 Flavio A. 5 years ago on Google • 40 reviews
    One of the most insane yet incredible places I've ever been to. Doesn't look like from this planet. Great techno music.

    One of my favourite clubs in Cologne. An authentic atmosphere, gritty dancefloors, even outdoor sofas; it has the spirit of underground club culture.

    I had never been to a club in Koln before. I just party in Berlin before I go. I was surprised to find Odonien while I was looking for a place that was somewhat reminiscent of the clubs in Berlin. There was a lot of space, two dance floors inside, one dance floor inside an old bus (this was incredible! ), and all metal structures, which left me in awe. It's pretty simple to go inside, which is excellent. I'll definitely return there.

    Racist bouncer… As soon as u speak English they turn around that you must speak German otherwise you won’t come in… tonight a bouncer wearing a shirt of Barcelona’s football team (ironically) super violent told us to speak German because of course we are in Germany… Unbelievable… Thanks Odonien I expected more of you 👌🏽

    Amazing! We discovered this place completely random and fell in love with it. Cool crowd, nice music, friendly people, and amazing steam punk/industrial atmosphere

  • 5/5 Eirini 8 months ago on Google • 72 reviews
    We went to Break zone day & night, it was F amazing. I had the best night of dancing! I loved the music on the bus! I hope that bus is open and plays the same style of music to Beats x Bass x Cologne #Wednesday!

    Funky, colorful, trashy/hip, modern/vintage awesome space for events, concerts, markets, etc. It’s a decorated and organized junkyard. I love it there! Awesome vibes always 💫

    (Translated by Google) Only vegan dishes :-( But: The fries can be made very crispy, red / white or even "special" (red / white / onion). The mask requirement is very strict. As always, the toilets are in need of improvement. (Original) Nur vegane Speisen :-( Aber: die Pommes werden auf Wunsch sehr knusprig, rot/weiss oder sogar "spezial" (rot/weiss/Zwiebel) gemacht. Sehr streng die Maskenpflicht. Wie immer sind die Toiletten verbesserungswürdig.

    (Translated by Google) Unusual location, great music, great atmosphere yesterday. It is worth taking a closer look at the program. (Original) Ausgefallene Location, tolle Musik,super Stimmung gestern. Es lohnt sich das Programm genauer anzuschauen.

  • 4/5 Çağla K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The location is awesome the mood and atmosphere too. For a 60 min chamber game with 3 actors I found 18 € / person quite expensive, but you still like to pay for the current situation ... The location is not good for the surroundings. Gladly again ... The pizza on the street is also delicious (Original) Die Location ist der Hammer die Stimmung und Atmosphäre auch. Für ein 60 Min Kammerspiel mit 3 Schauspielern fand ich 18€/Person schon ziemlich teuer aber der aktuellen Situation verschuldet zahlt man aber dann trotzdem gerne... Für die Umgebung kann ja die Location nichts. Gerne wieder... Die Pizza auf der Straße ist auch super lecker

  • 2/5 Isaac E. 2 years ago on Google
    Unfriendly staff, security and at the bar. Looks nice due to the art objects but nothing more.

  • 5/5 Carla 2 years ago on Google
    Best place for electronic music and a ton of other top events. One of the few last clubs in Cologne that carry the charme of imperfection.

    The best post-apocalyptic Biergarten you will ever find.

  • 5/5 Roudy T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the greatest party venues in Cologne. It's a walking distance from the train station, the venue itself is Huge and has a hippy style, there are multiple seating options, outdoor and indoor stages, bar and food stations. Ideal to spend the day there. The music was great too.

  • 4/5 Igor “rimmer” Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The place looks amazing, but the service is somewhat average. Kölsch for 3.5 + 1 eur Pfand, which they really not keen to return once you specifically ask. No dryer (or towels) in the toilet, but the spot for the "toilet lady" is there (haven't seen her/him tho)

  • 5/5 Olaf A. 1 year ago on Google
    I was here as part of the Pirate Summit. Although I've lived most of my life in Cologne or the vicinity of Cologne, I didn't even know that this place exists. It looks like a mix between a junk yard, a steam punk movie set and a convention center for the cast of Mad Max III. It is the perfect place for an event like the Pirate Summit, but I am not sure why one would come to this place for anything else. But I'm Amy case, it is great that my home city does offer such a crazy setting and I really appreciate it and the guy who created this.

    (Translated by Google) A real alternative place of worship. It's impressive what works of art can be created from old scrap metal. The drink prices are high but still justified, as the location also costs a lot of maintenance. (Original) Eine echte alternative Kultstätte. Beeindruckend was aus alten Metallschrott für Kunstwerke erschaffen werden können. Die Getränkepreise sind gehoben aber dennoch gerechtfertigt, da die Location auch einiges an Unterhalt kostet.

  • 4/5 Bernhard W. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place, awesome decoration, nice guests, geart music and friendly actors. But the management of tonight was just a fiasko. For touching the lasers of the unguarded laser harp my group was kicked out because of me. Not even after apologizing, taking all fault on me, they refused the other members of the group to stay. I think, the aritsts are great, but the teenage sprit- just for tonight- kept the experience of Odonien below itself. I like Odonien a lot, the music was gorgeous, the artists performed so well it gave me goose-bumps- if applies I would fund it regularly. But this time the management did not do the best it can, in regard of the spirit of the promised performance. Still, it is a great place with a lot of great people.

  • 3/5 Nick M. 4 years ago on Google
    Super unique place, very easy to reach from the train lines. I thought it was a public junkyard from a distance, but it is actually a bar/venue with art installations all over. The weld-art is cool to look at and the bar is super chill, especially in the heat it is better than sitting in some cramped indoor bar. Downsides would be a very weak beer selection (not much selection at all), and a terrible toilet situation (plenty of toilets, but not clean or private).
