Electronic Sports League Review

Awesome e-sports bar, awesome people, awesome music.

Great pub with super nice guests. The atmosphere is great, it is easy to talk to others and everything seems relaxed, happy and cozy.

Very cool shop. Fair prices, friendly audience and service.

Great and unique gaming bar in Cologne.
There are many ways to celebrate video games there, whether retro or modern, console or PC.
But you don't have to gamble, you can also chat very well with other people at the bar.
The range of drinks is very rich and if you get hungry, you will find a lot in the area, from kebab to pizza.

In addition to normal bar evenings, there are also regular specials where you can always get involved in the community and meet new people.

For example at pen & paper or board game evening.

And last but not the least, the bartenders are always worth a visit to the Meltdown.

Nice atmosphere. Varied games. From the sofa, play a game of Mario Kart. Almost like in the living room. Only better :)

A really excellent establishment! The cocktail selection makes you grin, the decoration and humor are adapted to gamers. The music has something for everyone, from 80s to techno, rock and charts, everything is included!
You can also quickly find new friends because you can simply play Mario Kart together. Even brought consoles are easy to install, you feel very comfortable as a gamer in the meltdown!

Been here for a hearthstone gathering and had a great time

Was here for the first time at a Nerdquizabend.
Absolutely great shop!
Absolutely great atmosphere!
Absolutely great evening had.
I am looking forward to the next quiz evening!

Sure cool bar. I was surprised that there were all of Nintendo and PCs and of course cool drinks

No matter which language is spoken, everyone is well understood here.
Top friendly staff, with very good drinks, a gastronomic good food selection outside, which you can eat in the store. "How much black matter is there and why does my vacuum cleaner robot no longer do it", everything is discussed here and everyone here finds like-minded people.

Top shop. Please continue to do so!

Good scene bar in the heart of Cologne. If events are, however, you have to endeavor for a Sitzpatz, because it is very crowded.

The bartenders are nice and know each other in the whole scene.

A really cool bar in Cologne.
Great people, really tasty cocktails and family atmosphere.
I always like to go there.

Super bar. Nice service. Very cozy.

Very nice staff and always good mood. The cocktails are unfortunately a bit expensive, but there are many events in this bar.

Best bar in all of Cologne! The cocktails are great, the atmosphere is amazing, the audience is always different and nice. The different events are always fun! A great bar for both gaming and just chilling out

The atmosphere is very nice, everything is kept very dark (the floor and the walls are black, the furniture dark gray or brown), the three "rooftop" sofas with coffee table, in the middle of the store, suggest a "home-feeling", the screens are partially questionably placed, but certainly intended for the quiz evenings. If you want you can gamble against a deposit for controller and game, for example, Tekken 7 on the PS4. I think the drinks are very expensive, but that mostly consist of fruit juice and ice cubes (yes, big issue). The names of the drinks are thematically inspired by video games, eg Leroy Jenkins or Crystalline Flask.
What I find very cute: if you pay with EC card is on the charge "Well played", a great detail!

Very good esport bar, everyone is very friendly, will comeback next year during ESL one cologne :D

Prices are ok and ambiance is right. There are almost familial conditions. Greetings go out.

Incredible atmosphere, nice people, good cocktails and a healthy selection of beers. Mixed with the fact that you can easily play video games in the store ...
Brilliant!

Here among other things smash bros. gambled and that's a good thing.

Nice, something that i like to enjoy, but its still not the place that i would like to run. A little bit more sitting places would be cool also.
I give it 5 stars because its still the best meltdown where i have been.

I love the meltdown!

Although I was only there three or four times, but I've met only cool people, not to mention the bartenders, with whom you can always fall into a nerd, gaming or even serious conversation :) I like to come back again and again drink one or two beers with my people at an absolutely fair price! Occasionally even old German Animemukke runs and the whole room snaps: D It is always fun and thanks to the consoles and PCs (which are freely accessible) there is something for everyone.
Very very cool!

Really great shop with a super nice team and cool events.

A must-stop spot for everyone into esports, the atmosphere is great and the staff is amazing!

Great gaming bar every gamer should have been to. There are various consoles from SNES to PS4 for which all game hits are available. The cocktails are creative and constantly changing and the price has even become a little cheaper. All in all, always a great experience. Every gaming enthusiast who is in the city should stop by here.

Visited to view the ESL One Cologne and had a great time

If you want to play a few games and want to drink a cool soda or something else, this is the place for you.

Friendly staff, friendly environment, friendly crowd, good drinks.

For interested gamers, this is the place to be in Cologne! Various possibilities to gamble on different consoles free of charge. The alcohol is a little more expensive, but there are delicious cocktails tailored to the scene. If you feel like playing a round or two and drinking an unusual cocktail, you are definitely in the right place here

My favorite bar in cologne! If you are a gamer or can associate to the group go there! Beat staff and community anywhere in cologne!
Love you, Celina

Cool atmosphere
Cool music
Cool concept

Enormously beautiful and unusual bar, perfect to meet new people with the same interests!

Wanted to get in, but couldn't because of a Capcom prerelease event. Why is it closed to paying customers who just want to watch? Beats me considering the bar was empty. This is supposed to be a place where gamers can feel welcomed, however being segregated looking through the windows at some other people playing seems like a step in the right direction for the Meltdown Cologne crew. Only available from 10pm on a Saturday evening after the "cool kids" are done. Please wait a few hours outside. Terrible way of handling such an event. 0 stars would be the correct rating. Never going again.

Hi Andreas,

It was or rather it is really a really great store that you have built yourself.
The cocktails were amazing by the way.
Thanks again for the invitation.
I would love to come back again.

Greetings from Paderborn.

Drink booze and play games, or sit around and watch play games, it's as easy as that. You're allowed to order in food as well, so throw a party here.

It muffles like my big brother in the room, but otherwise it was quite funny. If something is free, you can play games for free, such as Mario Kart.

The cocktails are delicious, but unfortunately they were quite small. And you have to wait long for the drinks, even if not so much going on.

Since I've never been to a game bar like this, I thought it was really cool and funny and would go again. My favorite bar will not be

Gaming pub with cool furnishings and allusions to games in every corner. For this purpose, monitors / projectors are installed everywhere to be able to follow different streams, even on the toilet.
Different consoles and 6 PCs are freely available.
The audience corresponding to the scene from normal to full nerd everything included.
Had a nice relaxing evening there.

Horniest E-Sports Babir in West Germany. Bobick on Mayo Kart?

Friendly staff, a bit too expensive, but the nerd in me always works in this shop.

First gamer pub here in Cologne! Hammer, online PCs and consoles at the start. Anyone who doesn't just have to rot at home in front of the Wee is welcome here !!

The bar is great many nice people and great cocktails

A welcoming space to enjoy your mutual love of video games. Highly recommend!

Very good gaming bar, Wednesdays often Super Smash Bros tournaments. Are PCs and consoles where you can play freely.

Very nice Gamerbar, especially on Fridays and Saturdays very well visited. Once a month the Nerdquiz takes place, very fun matter.

Very friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere.
Very good for a cozy evening

A must for gamers and those who play a lot in the vicinity. LoL and WoW are the focus. Several game consoles can be gambled on site. Very chilled out atmosphere.

If you are on one of the days where no important event is running, it is very relaxed there!

A good hotspot for gamers. It is definitely worth stopping by and having a drink. The ambience and atmosphere have what I cannot describe. Just drop by and you know what I mean;)

Are you into E-Sport? Then this is the place for you. Cozy atmosphere, great staff, good selection of drinks/beer and lots of screens showing E-Sport of every kind. All cities could benefit from a place like this.

The gamers out there go to meltdown cgn when you're in Cologne
The bartenders are cool and the people really nice.
There is almost never any stress in the bar, it's hard to avoid 100% because alcohol changes people.
In any case, come over to drink and gamble or just chat with someone about gambling or whatever: D

Really Nice place with Nice music and awesome concept. Prices are a bit too high though.

Very nice gaming bar, just a little too cramped for space, especially for taller people.

Great store great concept. It's a shame that it doesn't exist in FFM.
Friendly clientele and staff.

Always happy to come back. Top service and a great atmosphere

Very cool shop for gamers, but also all other sprittis! A bit run down, which definitely doesn't harm the shop or the atmosphere! Personable, young crew, small beer pong table, some PCs & consoles to paddle and alcohol ... what more could you want ?!

Awesome concept
Nice personel

The prices may be a bit over the top, but the mood is still there.

A catch basin for all nerds in the region who have found a living room outside their own four walls

Really nice place to chill with friends and u can play whatever u want! In addition u can meet so many nice people just go and visit if u can :D

The League of Legends stream was always buffering. Therefore 1 star deduction. Otherwise everything was great
