The Sonic Ballroom is a small but nice and cosy punk rock shop in Ehrenfeld. Here are often good concerts with fresh bands (often a few real highlights) followed by disco. Otherwise, the scene in the Sonic Ballroom likes to meet for a beer or two. The audience is a mixed (young, old, casual, business).

In short: Live Club & Punk Rock' n' Roll Bar, pub and beer garden. Where do you get it today in Cologne?
