Tucked away at Maastrichter Str. 20 in Cologneâs vibrant Belgian Quarter, Little Link is a standout in the cityâs cocktail scene. The brainchild of award-winning bartender Stephan Hinz, it positions itself as a bridge between tradition and innovation, where âclassic bar craft meets avant-garde techniques.â Inside, youâll find a sleek and somewhat industrial-chic dĂ©cor, with comfortable seating, a bar counter for watching the craft in action, and an outdoor terrace that spills into the lively neighbourhood. One of its hallmarks is the menu of unusual ingredientsâimagine porcini-mushroom-infused whiskey, rose-hip shrub, or blackberry âcaviarâ as cocktail accents. The bar also offers elevated bar food: sliders, grilled-cheese sandwiches (vegan and vegetarian options included) and snacks to complement the drink experience. Guests often highlight the friendly and knowledgeable bartenders who can guide you based on your taste preferences, making it approachable even if youâre not a âcocktail-nerd.â The atmosphere skews younger and dynamic, especially on weekends, but the service and craftsmanship keep it elevated. According to reviewers, while itâs stylish and somewhat premium, it doesnât feel stuffy: you can drop in for a feel-good night out as well as for a refined cocktail session. In short: Little Link is ideal if youâre looking for a memorable drink in Cologneâa place that balances creative flair, high quality, and social atmosphere. It may not be the quietest bar in town, but that energy is part of its appeal.
