Tourist trap all the way. Mediocre food. Rude and inattentive server. The server openly advertised his disgust for one person in our party ordering a drink other than Kölsch. If you’re desperate for food or drink it works. But don’t make the trip for this place.

Disgraceful service, probably the worst I've experienced in Germany. Food was OK. The jager schnitzel sauce is worth the 2 stars. Warm beer, the waiter couldn't care less that he repetidly got our orders wrong. Don't bother.

Food was pretty good, but from the first step we placed here we got dirty looks because we were young. They treated us like we were trash and made us wait so long. They accedentaly gave us the local ppl card with lower prices and when i went to pay i got the tourist prices which were way higher. I just accepted that and wanted to pay but then they asked for tip. I said no thank you and the guy went crazy. I said well you were very rude and you gave me the wrong price, showed a picture of the menu i got (which i took beforehand because i knew this was going to happen) and he said "NO THIS IS OLD MENU!" which it very clearly wasnt. He was mad at me for not tipping and just payed the (tourist price) amount. Walked out and was so amazed by this experience. Dont come here if you want to be treated right.

Gerne nur noch woanders! Das Bier war zwar lecker und man wurde relativ schnell bedient. Das war es aber auch schon. Die Bedienung punktete nur mit Unfreundlichkeit. Die Küche gab weiteres mit Schnitzel mit einem Tropfen Soße und rohen Beilagen hinzu. Das Schnitzel selbst war gut. Meiner Meinung nach die Typische Touristenmelkstation nach dem Motto „Hallo, Geld und Tschüss“

Bratkartoffeln fast roh keine Änderung der Speisen vor ab möglich nachher war doch möglich, sehr schade dafür brauche ich nicht ins Brauhaus. Bier ist top das Essen leider ein Flop

Hearty meal in the Heart of Cologne! Great atmosphere and the food and beer is so good! Felt very comforting when I travelled there alone. I will definitely come back!

(Translated by Google) I cannot understand the positive reviews at all. And I am not demanding. Everything was underground. Service unfriendly, constantly smoking in a corner. Disinterest, masks hanging on the chin and not only my waitress was like that. Eating terrible. Every snack around the corner is better. Really. Without exaggerating. In addition, it was dirty. Absolutely 100% not recommendable (Original) Ich kann die positiven Bewertungen überhaupt nicht verstehen. Und ich bin nicht anspruchsvoll. Alles war unterirdisch. Service unfreundlich, ständig rauchend in einer Ecke. Desinteresse, Masken am Kinn hängen und nicht nur meine Bedienung war so. Essen ganz furchtbar. Da ist jeder imbiss um die Ecke besser. Wirklich. Ohne zu übertreiben. Hinzu kommt, das es schmutzig war. Absolut 100 % nicht weiter zu empfehlen

Very good authentic German food! First restaurant in Cologne we visited and that was superb! Thank you very much for this amazing experience!

Great food, traditional Kolsh service. Great fun and a good start to our Cologne visit

After a delayed flight and late check in we were looking for dinner but everywhere was closing the kitchens. The staff here were super friendly and welcomed us in. The service was efficient and the food was really good, authentic German dishes. I had an amazing pumpkin soup and my companion a goulash soup that he hasn’t stopped talking about since!! We were too hungry to take photos!! Currywurst was really good too. A nice spot for a quick bite .

Decent meals reasonable price. I enjoyed my goulash made with fresh spätzle. My husband got kidneys which i thought tasted really well and matched his Kölsch perfectly.

Before arriving to Cologne we investigated about the best Brauhaus in the city and many sites recommended us Sion. Now we can tell that is 100% recomendable, very large restaurant, we didn’t wait for a table at all. Ordered 2 pork knuckles, 1 boiled and 1 grilled, both very tasty and large portions. We would recommend each for 2 people. The beer as one of the traditional drinks in city, Kölsch is of course served here, very tasty and comes to you very quickly, the tradition is that the waiters won’t stop bringing full glasses if you don’t lay your coaster on your glass.

Group of 10, business dinner. Food: Big portion of traditional German foods. You will not leave feeling hungry! Service: Very good. Very service minded. Atmosphere: Traditional wooden-wood

Nicht zu empfehlen! Kartoffeln roh ,Fertigsoßen !Bedienungen keine Einsicht gezeigt trotz mehrfacher Beschwerden ! Das einzige gute an dem Abend war das Wetter!

Nice food and beer but such a rude waiter. He started to get loud after we ask for a additional dish of one of the menus. We understood that it is not possible but he was so rude in his response and started to shout so people looked at us as they wanted to step in to help. We have been here at 04.09.2021 around 3.30pm sitting on table 116. Name of the waiter has been Care or Cara. Hope his supervision will see this.

Very good food. Not expensive. Friendly. Could have another heater outside for the colder weather.

certainly a classical local pub with nice drinks and traditional food, I have been positively impressed by the design of the place and the price/quality. As soon as we got in we received a traditional beer in a little tiny glass. We ordered few cold dishes and we have waited for only 5/8 minutes. The food was fresh and well presented. I would be back again.

Good "standard" Brauhaus fare, we had the curry worst served with fries, and a side salad. Nothing wrong with it at all. The service from our waiter was slow though, had to repeatedly ask for fresh glasses of kolsh (contrary to what is expected, where they bring you a new one when they see your glass is empty) the other waitress working the terrace on the other hand kept her tables very well served. So a bit hit and miss in terms of the service quality.

The resturant has a nice atmosphere and suitable for big group. good to try if you have time and would like to explore German foods

Nice Brauhaus to grab a bite to eat. Plenty of options on offer. I had the Westerwälder Bauernsülze, with a kölsch. 😋

We had a shared dining experience with their prized sausages. Very nice experience! Waitress did not speak English, not a real problem since some of us did speak German, but she was a little annoyed.

Really fun experience for a visiting American. The beer was good. The food was great. Our waiter was extremely busy but still made sure we understood how to order and behave while there. It was fun seeing families of all ages gather and enjoy a drink and dinner together. Wish we had more of this in the USA!

The food was fantastic and the “pancake” dessert I’ll never forget! What a treat! We had the pleasure to meet the owner. Belen Sion. Thank you for making us feel at home! Gracias!

This is your typical Cologne (Kölsche) pub, it has a great location between the cathedral and the old city. The service staff are friendly but in my experience very slow, it was a long time between beers last night. Nonetheless, the beer was cold and the food was good, (mostly traditional meals).

The only place in the world to drink Kölsch (all of central Cologne), the drinking culture itself is extremely exciting, and a must-try! I would advise during the Christmas holidays, where you get the Christmas markets and beautifully adorned Dom.

Great food and drink. The waiters were courteous. Highly recommend for a typical German experience.

A little on the more touristic side, still awesome food and lovely friendly stuff.

Food and service are very good. Beer is fresh and served at perfect temperature.

Good food and quick service. The good vibe is a definite plus!

Really great place for authentic kölsch. Good adequate and friendly service. Very good traditional food.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly staff, the negative reviews are in my opinion not to be followed. We enjoyed our beer here at this brewery for a long time and were completely satisfied. No, alcohol consumption did not have a negative impact on our comprehension. We are already looking forward to our next one Visit.

Wir fanden die Bedienung / den Service heute wirklich außergewöhnlich unfreundlich und unverschämt (und das hat auch absolut nichts mit der typisch schroff-herzlichen Köbes-Art zu tun). Statt des bestellten Radler stellte mir die Dame mit der Bemerkung "das machen wir hier eigentlich nicht" unverlangt eine Stange Kölsch und eine Flasche Limo vor die Nase - zum Selbermischen quasi. Als wäre das (ohnehin schon nahezu geschmacksneutrale) Kölsch von Sion zu heilig, um es mit Limo zu mischen... aus Gäste-Sicht echt unerfreulich unflexibel und alles andere als kundenorientiert. Beim Bezahlen wollte dieselbe Dame dann dreisterweise auch noch das komplette Wechselgeld als Trinkgeld einbehalten: wir hätten ja nichts gesagt, sodass sie davon ausgegangen ist, dass es "so stimmt"... ist klar! Liebe Touristen, nette Brauhäuser findet man in Köln besser außerhalb der Altstadt und diesen Laden kann man sich erst recht sparen.

Lovely food and friendly staff at amazing prices!

Nice place to get some drinks. Food was also good! The haxe was sadly a little chewy and not as crispy but still tasted good

Great place to have a beer. You can enjoy lunch or dinner. Lots of terrace tables. Quick service. Tasty German food.

Fun local establishment a few meters from the train station and Museum. The food is good and waiters are characters.

Food was brilliant... perfect drinking fodder. The service was excellent and the sion beer simply brilliant. Get the 1/4 metre bratwurst, it's sensational.

Amazing pork leg 🍗 and extremely fast service. Totally worth it and will go again for any circumstances

Very good Schweinehaxe. Nice place.

Excellent food and beer! Highly recommended.

Fantastic pork knuckle! 👍🏼 But beware - you will need to have at least 4 people sharing it especially if you’re gonna order other items from their menu too.

Proper german beir hall.

More than 1,5 hours waiting for get our order. Very bad experience

Awesome food, great place to be

Great place for an authentic Kölsch.. We had the 11 glasses a few times that afternoon.. Perfect! Kitchen is okay, nothing fancy.. Atmosphere and staff made it to 5 stars.. Cheers

Near Koln Dom, many people, louder, food is nice. I ordered beer Kolsch and German pork knuckle(Schweinshaxs), 20 euro. If there is a chance, I will visit again.

Big and spacious, friendly service, good delicious amount of meat. I like the Apfelschorle and the meat source.

Disappointing kitchen. Spätzle noodles were severely overcooked, Potato soup not great. Service a slow despite nobody being in there. We usually tip but didn't tip because our beers weren't refilled. Sorry to say it but Köln doesn't have the best food and this Brauhaus is no exception. I like the Sion Kölsch though, it's a nice Kölsch. Interior looks nice and toilets were clean.

The place is beautiful and the waiters were friendly but I was a quite disappointed with the food. I ordered a schnitzel, the food was warm swimming in oil and the potatoes were rubbery. My husband ordered the broad beans with bacon, his food was delicious and served hot. We sat in the inside where many waiters could see us and no one ever bothered to bring us another beer. We eventually called a waiter and asked to bring us another one.

Very good restaurant for classic German staples. Price and quality ratio is excellent. Staff are nice and accomodating

a comfortable place, and close to most places in Koln, the dishes are affordable for the price, a normal price, the food was very good, they do not take long to bring it and the waiters are attentive, from the outside it appears to be a very old restaurant , but it is renovated and has nothing to do with the juiciness inside, I am glad I chose this place, I felt very comfortable, I recommend

Great pub to sit on the street and people watch. Food is simple. Service was good. No complaints. Go have some biers and enjoy yourself. Don't worry too much.

The worst service ever. Dessert came first after that they brought the schnitzel that was very oily and had a funny taste. No drink options, really bad wine.

Proper German pork knuckle and a really decent serving size. The service was friendly and we we received our food incredibly fast, but we also ended up waiting at the counter for 15 minutes to pay. A bit of hit and miss, but good overall. However, if you want a fantastic German meal, at a very reasonable price, this is the spot for you.

My friends and I had lunch here today, the food was delicious. The service was okay until the moment when we had to pay. The waiter with big beard asked for tips (P.S. this is Germany, not the US). When our tips did not meet his expectation, he said to me that the tips were nothing and his attitude deteriorated from there on. We will seriously consider whether to eat here ever again.

First and only restaurant in my life I left before ordering, almost insulted. I don’t know why they employed that particular chief waiter, but that was one very bad choice. After that experience just went around the corner to Peter’s Brauhaus where the staff and food are excellent

This one star rating is a reflection of our server Edmond, not necessarily the establishment itself. Edmond was extremely rude and demonstrated terrible service throughout the entire experience. A few examples, when he asked for our order we said we weren’t ready, then he took the menus from us and said Fine and didn’t return again to take our food order. When we went to pay we presented a card, he was demanding a tip, but we thought he said tap, so we tapped, paid and said Danke Schoen. When he didn’t receive the tip he was demanding he got upset and aggressively handed the receipt and sarcastically said “Yeah, Danke Schoen.” The Kolsch was 5/5 though great beer!

Fast, friendly service and very tasty, food in good sized portions with beer (kolsch) that keeps on coming in the typical little 2cl straight sided glasses. Just the thing to restore and comfort after a journey. Note, the beer really does keep on coming, like most beer halls in Cologne they mark down each glass of Kolsch on a beer mat as a tally and will keep replacing the empty ones until you place the beer mat on top of your empty glass to signal you have finished.

Essential brauhaus experience with a great staff and an awesome environment in Cologne! The cold kolsch is perfection, and the bratwurst is amazing. Bet you can't finish it!

Traditional Koln brewery with long history. Food as well as beer are so good. Strongly recommended in Koln.

Great pork knuckle. But i found the beer a bit bland. Servers’ attitude was not very nice.

The Brauhaus Sion is a large and very popular brewery restaurant with a good menu of traditional German dishes. It is a popular party venue and offers medieval banquets with costume characters. Located adjacent to the magnificent Koln (Cologne) cathedral. Several local car parks serve the area and it is a short walk from the nearest.

Very nice place with cold beer and great service.

Perfectly friendly, welcoming to our children. There wasn't a problem with our not eating (it was about 5pm) and most of the staff were efficient and pleasant to us.

Great beers and great service! Food was also really good. A great place to visit in Cologne.

Both our dinner dishes were good. My partner liked the Kölsch. Maybe the waiter serving us was not having his best shift (which is understandable and definitely happens to everyone at times) but we did feel like a bit of an inconvenience when asking for another drink etc. If I make it back to Cologne in future, I would be willing to give Brauhaus Sion another shot.

Had the worst experience in this restaurant while visiting Cologne. My friend ordered a chicken based dish and the wrong food was brought over. When she told the waiter that’s not was ordered, said waiter started shouting. Also, we were ignored for quite a while when we wanted to get the bill. Given that tourism is a great deal of their business, I reckon the staff should be more welcoming. On top of all this, the waiter had the grand idea of asking for a tip. Shocking!

Didn’t actually get to eat here, we were greeted by the manager who was friendly and that was the last pleasant experience of being here, we ordered 4 drinks one of them being a red wine, the waiter brought over white wine where we politely said we didn’t order it but we had ordered red wine, they became rude and agitated and even put their hands onto my friend, Insisting they did order the white wine and began shouting at them. After asking numerous times we left… shame as the menu looked good with fair prices.
