The Grid Bar

The Grid Bar, created by nationally renowned bartender Marian Krause and opened in summer 2018 on Friesenstraße in Cologne's Friesenviertel, features a sophisticated speakeasy concept with dedicated lounge and cigar areas. The drink menu emerges from collaboration with creative professionals including designers and perfumers, transforming each cocktail into a narrative of flavor and design—exemplified by signature drinks like the Sichuan Panda. Recognized as Bar des Jahres 2021 and praised for its high-standard mixology, thoughtful presentation, and luxe-yet-relaxed atmosphere, the bar appeals to cocktail enthusiasts seeking both artistic execution and refined comfort in a well-designed setting.
