THE CAGE is an event venue on Rathenauplatz in the center of Cologne. It hosts company parties, product presentations, networking events and private celebrations for 60 to 200 guests on 160 m², over three connected levels. It has two bars and two dance floors, and a DJ area at its center.
Seminars and company events
The venue is aimed at business events rather than classic seminars. It lists Christmas parties, summer parties, company anniversaries, product presentations, networking events, after-work parties, team events, after-fair lounges and brand or PR events. The room structure leaves space for presentations as well as relaxed networking and parties. A company can start with a reception and a flying dinner, then continue with a party in the same place, without moving guests to another venue.
Weddings and receptions
For private events, the venue mentions birthdays, engagement parties, weddings and after-wedding parties. The site presents it as a place where a dinner and a party take place in one room: an event location, a bar atmosphere and a club experience in one. Guests start with a reception and a flying dinner and move on to the dance floor.
Rooms and capacities
The venue holds 60 to 200 guests on 160 m². It is laid out over three connected levels with lounge and sofa areas, dance floors on different levels, galleries that overlook the room and a central DJ area. There are two bar counters and two dance floors. Furniture includes seating, lounge areas and a small stage. The site does not state separate capacities for standing, seated or theatre layouts.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation on site. Guests would stay in hotels in the city.
Catering
The venue offers its own catering formats: finger food and fork food, flying buffet, walking dinner, modern street food and a midnight snack. Drinks can be booked as packages or by consumption, and signature drinks can be created for the event. Bar and service staff, security and reception, and a cloakroom are part of the offer. Extras include DJs, photographers and musicians, furniture, decoration and event technology.
History and setting
The interior combines Art Deco elements, modern design and staged lighting. The entrance is a discreet door, and the room opens behind it. The venue also runs its own club nights. Lighting, a PA system and a DJ desk are part of the technical equipment.
