Morning ’til night, Harry’s New York Bar is the hip place to meet friends or business associates in the centre of Cologne. Harry’s aromatic Latte Macchiato and a croissant hit the spot for breakfast, and snacks, salads and casual fare keep you going during the day. After dark, live music and a legendary selection of cocktails, wines and beers from the impressive bar in the back create a comfortably chic atmosphere.

In the historic Overstolz fireplace room, an ornate ceiling, dark wood, heavy leather armchairs and art deco style recall the old traditions of English or Hanseatic gentlemen’s clubs. The open, 16th-century fireplace, after which the room is named, crackles in the background as you sip and savour a selection of fine whiskeys.
