About this Event
London’s favourite Cologne drinking experience is back! Round up your mates, book a table, and join us for a night of Nico Kölsch stanges and Nico served from the wood for a Cologne-inspired night out. Enjoy Orbit's award-winning Nico Lager the way it is supposed to be drunk.
If you've ever been to Cologne, you'll have noticed that their drinking culture is wildly different to ours, instead of going up to the bar to order, the smartly dressed and no-nonsense waiters (called Köbes) will bring over circular beer trays (called Kranz) laden with tall thin glasses (called stanges), containing 200ml of freshly poured Kölsch (Köln-style lager).
When the beers have been served, the Köbe will mark your beer mat (pictured below) to keep track of how many you've had. When your beer is nearly empty the Köbe will bring another stange, and another, until you place a beer mat on top of your glass, signalling you've had your fill.
Tickets include however many stanges of Nico Lager you want to pre-order and will guarantee you a table on the night. Once you’ve reached your ticketed amount you can continue to order as many as you like on the night though, as well as any other food and drinks which will just be charged separately.
Each Nico Lager stange (200ml) is priced at £1.95 on the night and by ordering your ticket in advance you can save 15% and secure you and your group a table!
