Cologne’s premier queer youth center and cafe for ages 14-27. A safe, social hub with themed nights and community support at anyway.
Located in the heart of Germany’s rainbow capital, anyway is a vibrant and essential hub for the younger generation on any Cologne gay map. As one of Europe’s most renowned LGBTQ+ youth centers, it provides a safe, welcoming, and empowering space for queer individuals aged 14 to 27. Whether you are a local or a traveler exploring the city’s inclusive scene, anyway offers more than just a place to hang out; it is the heartbeat of Cologne’s young queer community. The venue features a cozy, queer-friendly cafe atmosphere where visitors can relax, play a game of pool or table football, and connect with like-minded peers. For those looking for specific social circles, the weekly calendar is packed with themed highlights. From 'BOYlicious' nights—a favorite for young gay men—to 'LES*quisit' for lesbian and queer women, and 'TIN*SPIRATION' for trans, inter, and non-binary youth, there is a dedicated space for everyone. Beyond the social aspect, anyway is a vital resource offering professional counseling and 'coming-in' support for those navigating their identities. If you’re looking to experience the authentic, grassroots spirit of LGBTQ+ life in Cologne, this Kamekestraße landmark is an absolute must-visit.
