    (Translated by Google) A fantastic location for concerts, a great place for theatrical performances and comedy programs, even the party ranks and special events were always successful and last but not least a pleasant cafe which opened during the day. The Gloria is located in the heart of the city of Cologne and is a varied place for a variety of events. The staff was always friendly, no matter what event and for decades! 5 stars more than deserves. (Original) Eine fantastische Location für Konzerte, ein toller Ort für Theateraufführungen und Comedyprogramme, auch die Partyreihen und Sonderveranstaltungen waren immer gelungen und zu guter letzt ein angenehmes Café welches tagsüber geöffnet hat. Das Gloria liegt im Herzen der Kölner City und ist ein abwechslungsreicher Ort für die unterschiedlichsten Veranstaltungen. Das Personal war immer freundlich, egal bei welcher Veranstaltung und das seit Jahrzehnten! 5 Sterne mehr als verdient.

    Easy to find location, medium size venue with decent drink prices (5 euros with deposit for a tall) and very good sound work. Easy in and out, solid bookings. Definitely a go-to

    (Translated by Google) Disorganized, bad shed! Notes about age restrictions at events would be appropriate so that you don't stand in front of this dirty shop with paid tickets to avoid getting in. And the employees should coordinate with each other! Apparently, communication is not the top priority for them. Every employee said something different, sometimes the event was from 16, sometimes from 18, sometimes you came in with a mom's slip as a child under the age of 16. Just ridiculous! And the friendliness (there was none) of the staff really left a lot to be desired. Strangely enough, as a foreigner you were waved out of the row and checked particularly intensively, because you didn't fit into the booty scheme as a foreigner and all locals with typical characteristics came in easily and they also turned a blind eye, if not with their age and ID fit. Would really avoid this seedy shop. (Original) Unorganisierter, schlechter Schuppen! Anmerkungen über die Altersbeschränkungen bei Veranstaltungen wären angebracht, damit man nicht mit bezahlten Karten vor diesem Drecksladen steht, um nicht reinzukommen. Und die Mitarbeiter sollten sich mal untereinander absprechen!!! Anscheinend steht Kommunikation nicht an erster Stelle bei denen. Jeder Mitarbeiter hat was anderes gesagt, mal war die Veranstaltung ab 16, mal ab 18, mal ist man mit einem Mutti-Zettel als unter 16 jährige reingekommen. Einfach nur lächerlich! Und die Freundlichkeit (es bestand keine) der Mitarbeiter ließ wirklich zu wünschen übrig. Komischerweise wurde man als Ausländer aus der Reihe rausgewunken und besonders intensiv kontrolliert, weil man ja als Ausländer nicht ins Beute Schema gepasst hat und alle Einheimischen mit typischen Merkmalen kamen easy rein und bei denen wurde auch ein Auge zugedrückt, wenns mal mit Alter und Ausweis nicht passte. Würde wirklich ein großen Bogen um diesen versifften Laden machen.

    (Translated by Google) For small concerts great lokation. Unfortunately at the beginning but a bit impractical because the toilets and wardrobe a really tight staircase must be gone down. 2 each next to each other depending on what you want below grade. From the bottom but at the same time the high are ready ... Otherwise great, easy to reach and plenty of parking nearby (Original) Für kleine Konzerte tolle lokation. Leider zu Beginn aber etwas unpraktisch da zu den Toiletten und Garderobe eine echt eng Treppe runter gegangen werden muss. Jeweils 2 nebeneinander je nach dem was man unten Grade möchte. Von unten kommen aber zeitgleich die hoch die fertig sind... Ansonsten super, leicht zu erreichen und reichlich parkmöglichkeiten in der nähe

  • 5/5 Luciana S. 1 year ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Great place! Not huge, so it is cozy and with a good atmosphere. Personally I would never use the "beer holder" on the bathroom area, but it is something curious I had never seen in other places.

  • 5/5 Laura R. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New

    This is an excellent place if you're going for a concert. It's small and you are never that far from the stage. Excellent sound quality and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Andreas H. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Gloria is a small, cozy venue in the heart of Cologne. A highlight is the Kasalla annual concert shortly before Christmas. The hall was once a cinema and the area in front of the stage rises to the rear, so that even smaller people have a chance to see the artists on stage. (Original) Das Gloria ist ein kleiner, gemütlicher Veranstaltungsort im Herzen von Köln. Ein Highlight ist kurz vor Weihnachten das Kasalla Jahresabschluss Konzert. Der Saal war mal ein Kino und die Fläche vor der Bühne steigt nach hinten an, so daß auch kleinere Menschen eine Chance haben die Künstler auf der Bühne zu sehen.

    (Translated by Google) Just a cheek! € 20 advance ticket for rhythmic gymnastics at carnival and almost 2 hours outside in the cold to get in. Upon request, bouncers are also really unfriendly according to the motto eat or die. First and last time I'm here. (Original) Einfach eine Frechheit !!! 20€ Vorverkaufskarte für Rhytmusgymnastik an Karneval und fast 2 Stunden draußen in der Kälte stehen um reinzukommen.

    (Translated by Google) Cool location !! Went there yesterday to see Chris Tall !! He was MEGA again !! Team was great, everything went great! Unfortunately nobody tried to get the guests together, so many individual seats were free and as a family we only had the bar stools at the counter to sit together !! A pity !! We even noticed Chris because in the first few minutes he asked why the seats were empty or why there was a bag there !! Hence a ⭐ less of me !! (Original) Coole Location !! Waren gestern dort und haben uns Chris Tall angesehen !! Er war mal wieder MEGA !! Team war top ist alles super gelaufen !! Leider hat sich niemand darum bemüht das die Gäste zusammen gerückt sind ,somit waren viele einzelne Plätze frei und wir als Familie hatten dann nur noch die Barhocker an der Theke zur Verfügung um zusammen sitzen zu können !! Schade !! Uns es ist sogar Chris aufgefallen denn der hat in den ersten Minuten schon gefragt warum die Plätze leer sind bzw eine Tasche dort sitz !! Daher eine ⭐ weniger von mir !!

    Einfach unglaublich. Ambiente, Style, Geschmack. Spaß und freundlicher Service sind hier inclusive. Für mich persönlich habt Ihr Halloween mit Swing wiederbelebt. Danke. Simply outstanding. Style is part of the ambience. Especially because of the friendly service there. No other place in Cologne that can keep up with Gloria. Although I got a little confused by the fact that all the waitresses named "Gloria". Anyway, I love this place. Thanks for the swing at Halloween.

    (Translated by Google) Really a great and very stylish location. For small and fine concerts. The wardrobe theme is really difficult and time consuming. However, the Kölsch made of plastic cups is worse. That is not how it works. (Original) Wirklich eine großartige und sehr stylische Location. Für die kleinen und feinen Konzerte. Das Thema Garderobe ist wirklich schwierig und zeitraubend. Schlimmer ist jedoch das Kölsch aus Plastikbechern. Das geht gar nicht.
