rubicon is Cologne's lesbian, gay and queer counselling and community centre, on Rubensstraße a few minutes from the Schaafenstraße bars. It is a registered association, not a bar.
It runs counselling, groups and networking for LGBTIQ people and their families, with dedicated work for queer refugees, for older lesbians and gay men, and for rainbow families. Many of the city's community groups meet in its rooms.
This is the practical first stop for anyone who needs advice rather than a night out, and the place to ask what else is happening in queer Cologne.
