Lommerzheim

If you’re into rustic, laid-back eateries and want to get a late bite to eat after a concert or movie, “Lommi” (as the locals call it) in the city’s Deutz district is the ideal place for you. Steeped in tradition, this pub has a little beer garden where you can while away the time until midnight and tuck into one of their legendary XXL cutlets (some say the best in Cologne) with one or two glasses of cool, crisp Kölsch to wash it down. It’s also worthwhile taking a look at the old taproom and the vaulted cellar.
