Tips
When visiting Zum Köbes in Cologne, a traditional Rhineland dive bar, consider the following tips:
1. **Try the Kölsch**: Experience the local beer served in small glasses. Don't hesitate to order a 'Kranz'—a tray of Kölsch served directly to your table.
2. **Sample the Local Fare**: Don’t miss their house specialties, including the famous Halver Hahn (rye bread with cheese) and other Rhinelandian dishes.
3. **Engage with the Staff**: The waitstaff are known for their authenticity and friendliness. Practice a few German phrases; it enhances the experience.
4. **Reservations**: If you're visiting during peak times or with a group, consider making a reservation to ensure you have a spot.
5. **Enjoy the Atmosphere**: Embrace the casual, energetic vibe typical of dive bars and interact with locals for an authentic experience.
Enjoy your visit!
