It starts at Herz Jesu on Zülpicher Platz with welcome shots for everyone, then four venues over about four hours — three bars and a club — with another shot included at every stop. Each place has its own mood, and the night builds: easy at the first one, loud by the last. Your host knows the city and keeps the night running — route, timing, the group. Introductions happen early, and after the first bar the group mixes on its own. Strangers at the first stop, friends by the last. Solo travelers are the rule here, not the exception. Most nights mix travelers, exchange students and a few locals, and everything runs in English and German. The last stop is the club, and your entry is included. Stay as long as you want.
