The Gaffel Haus is a place where the culture of hospitality is cultivated. As a traditional meeting place it stands for the houses in Cologne where the Gaffel - guilds - came together in the evening to give free reign to their new ideas in so-called Table Societies. As historic gate to Cologne's Old Town, the Gaffel Haus today still lures people interested in experiencing the customs of the guild and the food they enjoyed.

The fresh spirit of the Gaffel still lives on here at the inn and in Gaffel Kölsch, the beer that bears the name of the Gaffel.
