bonngarten

Bonn, Germany

Bonngarten is a forest café on the Venusberg in Bonn, tucked into the Melbtal. It’s a venue, not a restaurant, so there’s no fixed catering or drink contract. You can rent the space and bring in your own people, which gives you way more freedom than most places. Inside you get three rooms of different sizes, a proper bar area, and a solid outdoor space. The whole thing is yours, no other guests wandering around. It works for private stuff like weddings and birthdays, but also for seminars and workshops if you need a quiet spot that’s still close to the city. The owners renovated it recently and it shows. People keep mentioning how bright and cozy it feels, and how flexible the team is. You can host up to 120 guests, and if you just want the rooms, that’s an option too. It’s a bit of a blank canvas, which is kind of the point.
