If you are tired of Dusseldorf, Cologne is the right place for you.
As for eating and drinks, don't really fancy the Altstadt but the Japanese (fusion) and other bistros at Immermannstrasse instead or then the Japanese Izakayas on Klosterstrasse.
The Medienhafen used to be interesting as well for pre-clubbing, not sure on the situation these days.
Dusseldorf clubs are rather famous as playgrounds for beautiful people.
Cologne, on the other hand, is one of the best places for nightlife in Europe and even globally and might offer more variety and a distinct flair.
I am biased but hope others can agree.
