Located in the lively Ehrenfeld district, Garagen is one of Cologne’s most dynamic and down-to-earth venues for concerts, club nights, and cultural events.
Found at Oskar-Jäger-Straße 179, the club combines an industrial charm with the energy of the city’s underground scene — true to its name, it feels like a garage transformed into a playground for music lovers.
From live indie and hip hop shows to nostalgic party formats like Trash Island and Back to the 00s, Garagen offers a diverse lineup throughout the year. It’s also a proud part of major city events such as Ehrenfeld XL, when multiple venues in the district open their doors for one massive night of music and connection.
Beyond the club space, Garagen features a beer garden and bar area, where guests can enjoy drinks in a relaxed outdoor setting before the night kicks off.
Most events are 18+, with varying ticket prices depending on the occasion. Card and cash payments are accepted, and a cloakroom is available for jackets and bags.
Visitors can expect an open-minded, friendly crowd — students, locals, and international guests — all drawn by the same thing: authentic Cologne nightlife with zero pretension.
Whether you’re coming for a concert, a DJ night, or just a few drinks in the beer garden, Garagen delivers an atmosphere that’s raw, fun, and unmistakably Ehrenfeld.
