    Went to see You Me At Six here. Location - not so great, right next to a huge dumpster and itโ€™s pretty stinky. Not enough parking spaces either. But the inside was very spacious and pretty nice.

    Had a good time at the concert, but the venue could be a little bit more modern, with better air circulation for example. Furthermore the prices for drinks are quite high. Overall still had a good time and I liked the urban feel of the venue.

    Gets really hot in summer and at the end of concerts in winter it feels like in a rainforest as well. Otherwise nice venue, never feel really far from the stage you can still see from the back. Quite hard to get drinks but it could be worse.

    The lighting effect and overall decorations were pretty good, but the sound wasn't rich and clear enough for me, idk maybe cause there was a black metal concert i was attending(Behemoth). Would've been better if there were two bars maybe, got us like 10 min to buy a drink, each damn time.

    We came here to see a concert of Gusgus, and what a perfect location this is. Located in between industrial facilities, there is the Essigfabrik where you can still see the remains of a factory. The acoustic is amazing here, and there is more than sufficient free parking here. Drinks are also at a reasonable price!

    Germany still seems to live in the stone ages. It's 2023 and you can only get drinks with cash, too bad if you only carry a card. Also the venue was sold out and way too crowded. You couldn't even properly move through the crowd to get to the toilets or the exit. I think the bookers oversold the venue (Fit for a King concert). Sound was okay, though kinda shallow. Mixing could have been better.

    Euroblast was awesome and the sound was great! I love that they expanded the outside area to the river! Great venue!

    It is so great to be able to have Euroblast here. Only downside is the toilet downstairs.

    Great venue. Was there for Kamelot with Myrath, Eleine and League of Destruction. When you enter you are right in the concert room. Coat check to your left, bathrooms down to your left, a bar on the left and a bar on the right. Merch stalls were along the back and left wall. Was able to get right up to the stage and the sound was good. We needed to get a taxi after the gig, didn't see any around, but there is a petrol station just a 2 minute walk up to your right. We grabbed one there and we could see a few taxi's turning down to the venue, so might have got one if we had waited a few minutes? The thing that impressed me the most was that all the guests were decent, no one pushed or shoved, no one was falling down drunk spilling booze everywhere making the floor all slippery and sticky. In Dublin, most gigs have a lot of jerks who push their way around, spill drink everywhere and just generally cause misery for those who just want to enjoy the show. I wish I could come here for all my fav bands!

    One of Cologne's most popular venues for concerts, Essigfabrik is not particularly big, but the acoustics are excellent and you can see the stage from anywhere. Saw the American rapper Bones, and the show was excellent.

    Small venue, which is nice. Vocal quality is not that good when you're leaning on the stage.

    Bowling for Soup, less than Jake and beauty school were great! The venue had good drinks! Super fun time!

  • 5/5 Iam t. 1 year ago on Google
    The sound (Metal party with Avatar) of this location was great. 2 bars with normal priced drinks. Approximately 600 to 800 guests can headbang until 00:00. Many ask about parking near by๐Ÿ‘Œ. In 2023_> Yes there are still ~200 parking slots available direct to the right of the hall. There is a lot of constructions around the hall, the parking situation may change soon๐Ÿค”

    Absolutely amazing venue. So cozy and fun. I ended up getting really close to my favorite band of all time and I couldn't have been happier. Not to crowedat all. Plenty of room to move and dance during the show. The coat check line and the line for the bar were very short. I was served af both places within 3 minute. I can't wait to watch more shows at this place. Don't be nervous and just enjoy your show at this perfect venue. For real it will end up beonf a memory you never forget . ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค
