Absolute cult location! Unfortunately the atmosphere is anything but relaxed! That's how it should be as a brewery... Food is expensive and so LaLa... Visually great, but... currywurst too spicy, wild boar ragout okay (spätzle dried out). Portion size far too small for the price. Unfortunately not recommended at all.

I wanted to go out to eat with my friend at the Malzmühle today. Unfortunately we were completely ignored - several attempts to speak to an employee (in the cash register area) also failed. Although it wasn't very busy total chaos. We went out again after 10 minutes - I've never experienced anything like that.

A very rustic traditional house with delicious Kölsch and all sorts of dishes to go with it. The schnitzel in malt beer breading stands out because I've only seen it here. Of course there is a lot to choose from, from knuckles and currywurst to kale with Mettwurst. Also for vegetarians, vegan Leberkäs for example.

Stopped in for my wife's favorite beer, Kolsch. What a great experience. They keep bringing the beer until you cover your glass, fresh glass and fresh beer each time. Had to even try their Mettbr|tchen (for raw pork on breadroll). A German treat, and it was great.

Beautiful inn with delicious food. I ate the spaetzle which was really tasty. But the other meals also looked delicious. Very friendly service. You have to visit it once when you're in Cologne.

Of course, you always have to remember that this is a brewery and not a restutant. The food was actually very good. We had schnitzel Viennese style, knuckle with sauerkraut and fried potatoes, knuckle meat, heaven and Ääd. Services very nice. It was very busy and very loud. Like in a brewery...

The waiters were friendly and the Christmas market was right across the street! We ordered the fried pork knuckle (with potato, the first pork knuckle dish listed on the menu)- it was absolutely incredible!!! The waiter was kind enough to break it open for us as it takes a little finesse. Our beer glasses were continually filled with very fresh Kolsch which was lovely. I would love to visit again next time we are in Cologne!

(Translated by Google) Very nice and quaint, often jam-packed, so you should better reserve a place. sat up with the colleagues. The food is good, because there is definitely something for everyone on the menu - you can also find seasonally appropriate home-style specialties (coarse bratwurst with red cabbage and fried potatoes, knuckle ...) The Kölsch is tasty and tasty anyway, which was only served during Lent Fasting beer is fine too. The ambience and authenticity are right here. Everything is not cheap, but reasonable and good. Incidentally, I also do not understand the reviews that refer to lukewarm dishes, because all four of our dishes were "hot" (Original) Sehr nett und urig, oft rappelvoll, deswegen solltet Ihr besser einen Platz reservieren. haben oben gesessen mit den Kollegen. Das Essen ist gut, denn auf der Karte ist sicher für jeden etwas dabei - man findet auch jahreszeitlich passend gutbürgerliche Spezialitäten (Grobe Bratwurst mit Rotkohl und Bratkartoffeln, Haxe...) Das Kölsch ist ohnehin süffig und lecker, das nur in der Fastenzeit ausgeschenkte Fastenbier ist auch fein. Hier stimmen das Ambiente und die Authentizität. Preiswert ist alles nicht, aber angemessen und gut. Ich übrigens auch die Kritiken, die sich auf lauwarme Speisen beziehen, nicht nachvollziehen, denn bei uns waren alle vier Gerichte "knallheiß"

We came here by reviews and this is supercool place. Huge portions and nice prices. We ordered pork leg and potato pie - both were tasty, it was hard to eat pork - but I made it, as it was good! Also waiting time was very short. Place has old times atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) Hined and drank very well !! Very great service and friendly service !!!! (Original) Sehr gut gehessen und getrunken!! Sehr toller Service und freundliche Bedienung!!!!

Recommended, typical Cologne, how tourists and Cologne residents imagine a brewery. Friendly service...

Good food, good beer, busy place with people all over having a good time.

Not only is the beer amazing, but the staff are fantastic as well. The waitress was so friendly and helpful in explaining the beer, the process, and a few other questions that the table had as well. It is very well located, easy to get to on public transport. Although I did not try the food, it looked great. English is readily spoken, you can pay with cash or card. The Kölsch is of amazing quality, and is one of the best that Cologne has to offer. Highly recommended for a visit.

Loved this beer hall, great staff very friendly and vegan options on the menu. I had the vegan meat loaf and would have it every day - so good!

Excellent service, great food, plenty of beer! Turkey leg, sauerkraut and dumplings…perfect pairing with a 0.2L ice cold Kolsch!

Typical Cologne brewery. Prices have increased for 2024 and there was definitely less on the plate. This can be done better.

Delicious and authentic

Great quality Haxe and friendlier service than you will get in other Brauhaus‘s.

This was the best food we had in Köln, hands down. Get the boar with the cabbage and spätzle! We also got the pork belly and would recommended. We arrived about 30 minutes prior to last call for dinner, and they accommodated us kindly.

Really nice stop.. just outside of the tourist spot.. looks more like a locals restaurant and pub.. reall homely and Christmas feel to it. Staff were real nice and the menu loomed great by I just popped in for a few beers.

Went over for a quick drink and a goulash soup as I wasn’t very hungry. Entered the restaurant and no waiter noticed us waiting for a table. At some point I sat down at any of the free tables available. After some time a waitress approached us asking who told us to seat in the table! I explained and she just walked away. She came back to take my order, I ordered a large size of the Goulash soup and a beer. Soup wasn’t bit enough and the bread that came along with the dish was super hard. Strong taste of tomato pure, had way better goulash soups around the world. I think that for the fact of being foreigner we weren’t really welcomed by the staff either for the prob regular customers that were sitting next to us and constantly staring at us.

We here here today. The waiter just came to our table and put 2 beers on the table without asking. Unfortunately, I was still looking at the menu, didn't realised the glass and I overturned the beer glass on the table with the menu.... I apologized for "my mistake" only to find out at the end that the waitress had charged that beer on the bill... I find this to be a horrific customer service. Food was ok, not any better than anywhere else. And next time we will go somewhere else

The kolsch here is very good and the food was delicious as well. Great place to eat. Warning: the metthappen has A LOT of minced pork on it. If this is your thing you will love it. For me it was too much, but that doesn’t change that it was done perfectly.

Crispy pork knuckles and nice Kolsh on tap! friendly staff and best to get a reservation or go early!

Made it here on the third try during the madness of Karneval weekend. The first try was on Saturday, the first day of the festival. They were full and there was a €20 entry fee, anyway. Second try was the next afternoon around noon when they were supposed to open but they had a delayed opening by a few hours due cleaning up and recovery from the night prior. Third try was a few hours later on that Sunday. A very quiet, subdued crowd and only about half full. Sat near the kitchen at the high tables for several stange. It is remarkable how different each brand/style of Kölsch is within the same city. This one is much sweeter than others, in a good way, and very unique. Helps you understand why this place is special and well-known.

Pretty good food, but unfortunately the Jägerschnitzel wasn't that good. The atmosphere is typical Kölsch, very loud and rough. It is often full, so be sure to reserve in advance.

Very centrally located, rustic brewery with a feel-good atmosphere. The wooden furnishings make the brewery rustic and cozy, but by no means too dark. The waitresses are authentically Cologne-based, very friendly and super fast. The menu offers a lot of Rhenish classics. The dishes are superbly prepared and taste great.

Good food, nothing extraordinary. Good beer, good service, very loud. So loud that it was difficult to hear what the table neighbor was saying

Great kölsch place woth authentic German cuisine. Pork knuckle is amazing and a must-pair dish alongside fantastically crushable kölsch.

We had a terrible experience here. We were very excited to try this restaurant today but our waiter was incredibly rude. He walked past the table and very quickly asked if anyone wanted beer. To which two of our group of four responded yes. The other two said no. Then he brought all of us beer. The one member of our group was just like whatever but my wife does not drink alcohol so she said “no I don’t want beer.” He very rudely yelled at her and said “I just asked and you said yes.” Then he tried to give us more beer that we did not ask for and we had to tell him “no we do not want any more.” So we finished our drinks and paid and left. We did not order dinner the way we were planning to. So the restaurant lost a much larger sale because of this very rude waiter. Go to Peters Brauhaus or Sion instead. Both had wonderful service and much better beer too!

Decent brauhaus food in a very traditional establishment. The service could be a little better and it seems as if the waiters are a little selective about who they (like to) serve. Apparently one of the few brew houses, that serves Kölsch that is brewed on site, but it’s not my favourite.

Dinner (Haxe) was good. Kölsch was priced too high at 2.30€.

We were on a tour and the food was great. We had a raw pork appetizer that was as delicious as it was scary. Beer service was fast and the food was delicious.

The place to be in Köln if you’re looking for beer and pork dishes in a traditional Brauerei environment. Always very crowded.

Best beer in the Köln and for sure best service!! Tasty food is included))

Such a fun a experience! We enjoyed a couple traditional German dishes along with their very refreshing Kölsch (beer). I love the tradition that they continue to bring you beer until you cover your empty beer glass with your coaster. I tried the Fried pork knuckle with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. The pork fell off the bone. Very filling and flavorful. We also shared a salad with goat cheese, that was delicious! The service was friendly and engaging. We really enjoyed our experience. One of our friends is pescatarian and he said his dish was also very flavorful!

Really good beer and food. One of my favorites in the city and you can tell, a locals favorite

Hello all, sorry to say I was deeply disappointed about this place. Just visited for the 3rd (!!) time, and it was also the last time. Service was as alw6pushibg us to get drinks quickly. As we didn't, we got 'punished' by bad food. Schnitzel costing 18 (!!!) Euros was small and burnt, fries were old, and the vegan Flieischkäse was thin, dry and burnt. Not to say tasteless. I was ashamed that this restaurant pretends to be friendly, and typical German. I don't leave any photos to the request of my companion. No compensation or apology was given, and all in all I can sum up with : Cologne has much better to offer, and never again!

Very traditional brauhaus, great beer, did not eat in there, but the food looked very good. Very frendly staff, good atmosohere.

Caught them less than an hour before close, but still got a couple glasses. Kolsch was great. Nice light subtle flavors.

Great beer! Authentic feel and the Kolsch just keeps on coming! Less touristy then others around it. Highly recommend

Delicious food, great service even if you've heard differently and easy on your wallet pricing.

Nice place with good beer. Decoration is classic old German. Food was nice but not so tasty as expected. Service was very good but prices a bit higher.

Very traditional place, nice environment, the food is delicious, but a little overpriced. The Kölsch is fresh and brewed on site, but the service is definitely not good. Was the third time that I’ve been there because I really like the food, but the waiters are not friendly at all and seem to be very selective about who they want to serve.

Great restaurant, exactly as you would imagine in Cologne and the staff was “top” Unfortunately, the vegetarian portions are a bit too small for the price.

Great experience top to bottom. Food was delicious, service was on point, waiter was pleasant and entertaining. Apfel strudel lasted maybe 40 seconds. 😍 can’t wait to go back.

A very pleasant brewery near the market square. Beer was good and so were the snacks. The porti knuckles looked excellent though we didn’t try them.

(Translated by Google) The first time I was in the malt mill, Mr. Bergow was still Köbes - God bless him -. Since then I have always enjoyed coming back and have never been disappointed. Great food (everything from Himmel un Ääd to burger already ordered), fast service, great Kölsch beer on tap. I was also here for the brewery's anniversary (160 years in 2018). The look behind the scenes, what you learned about Kölsch and the family business, etc. was not only fun, but also made you appreciate the whole thing even more. How the whole thing was organized that day, the interesting tours, all the information (e.g. why the Kölsch doesn't last as long as others), tastings and gigs - no expense or effort was spared here. They even brewed their own anniversary beer for the day, collected unselfish donations for good causes and much more. Back to the Malzmühle itself: cozy, rustic and brewery-typical inside. Always very clean and tidy. You can also buy all products (including barrels) including glasses to take away on site. Drinks are all pre-chilled and therefore "ready to eat". I only find the following points negatively: Over the years the prices have increased enormously and the Köbes is unfortunately no longer really typical Kölsch here. I think that's due to tourism. The service here is simply not so rough (with a wink), less loose sayings to the guest that are shot from the hip. This is also reflected in the reviews here. Here one often reads something according to the motto: "friendly waiter". Unforgettable when Mr. Bergow, for example, simply brought a Kölsch with him, put it on my lid and wished "good health". Since then, I've only experienced that on a brewery tour through Cologne in the Sion. But then why was explained here (before someone complains). So it was, of course, far less spontaneous. Ultimately, however, I can't deduct a star for this and I can understand if you don't want to scare off customers with this unusual way of serving. Still, it's a shame. Conclusion: The malt mill can be recommended without reservation! (Original) Das erste Mal war ich in der Malzmühle, da war Herr Bergow noch Köbes - Gott hab ihn selig -. Seitdem bin ich immer wieder gerne hier und wurde noch nie enttäuscht. Essen super (von Himmel un Ääd bis Burger schon alles bestellt), Bedienung flott, Kölsch stets super gezapft. Auch beim Jubiläum der Brauerei (160 Jahre in 2018), war ich hier. Der Blick hinter die Kulissen, das was man über das Kölsch und das Familienunternehmen erfahren hat etc. hat nicht nur Spaß gemacht, sondern hat einen das Ganze auch nochmal mehr wertschätzen lassen. Wie das Ganze an dem Tag organisiert war, die Interessanten Führungen, die ganzen Informationen (bspw. wieso das Kölsch nicht so lange haltbar ist wie andere), Verkostungen und Gigs - hier hat man keine Kosten und Mühen gescheut. Man hat für den Tag sogar ein eigenes Jubiläumsbier gebraut, uneigennützig Spenden für gute Zwecke gesammelt uvm. Zurück zur Malzmühle selbst: Innen gemütlich, urig und Brauhaus-Typisch. Immer sehr sauber und ordentlich. Vor Ort kann man auch alle Erzeugnisse (auch Fässer) inkl. Gläser zum Mitnehmen kaufen. Getränke sind hierbei alle vorgekühlt und somit "Verzehrfertig". Negativ empfinde ich lediglich folgende Punkte: Über die Jahre haben die Preise enorm angezogen und der Köbes ist hier leider nicht mehr so richtig typisch Kölsch. Ich denke das ist dem Tourismus geschuldet. Die Bedienung ist hier einfach nicht mehr so Rauh (mit einem Augenzwinkern), weniger aus der Hüfte geschossene, lockere Sprüche dem Gast gegenüber. Das spiegeln die Rezensionen hier auch wider. Hier liest man oft etwas nach dem Motto: "freundlicher Kellner". Unvergessen, wenn sich Herr Bergow bspw. einfach ein Kölsch mitbrachte, dies mit auf meinen Deckel packte und "zum Wohl" wünschte. Das habe ich seitdem nur noch bei einer Brauhausführung durch Köln im Sion erlebt. Hier wurde dann aber erklärt wieso (bevor noch jemand mosert). Das war demnach natürlich weitaus weniger spontan. Letztendlich kann ich dafür aber keinen Stern abziehen und kann verstehen, wenn man Kundschaft mit dieser ungewöhnlichen Art zu bedienen nicht vergraulen möchte. Schade ist es dennoch. Fazit: Die Malzmühle ist uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!

Amazing place to visit

Great place to come and eat around Köln they offer good food and lots of beer! When busy there is a great atmosphere. One thing that you should be aware of of this bothers you, you could share a table with a stranger. But other than this the service is great and so is the food. They also offer different menus for different languages.

Authentic german restaurante

I heard that it is typical for a Cologne brewery to be not polite to the customer, but personally I think this is too much. Especially the manager of the place is really unpleasant. Besides that the food is ok. If you like lager beer you will like also their beer but this is the only one you will get. If you want any other type of beer this is not the place to go.

Usually great spot disappointing today. Tables and seats not clean. Great Kölsch experience and good food. Only had a cured meats plate today with great beer. Enjoyed better with cleaner areas.

The worst service ever. Food not bad, nothing special. The worst part is the waiters, they ruin the fun of dining out.

Excellent Brew pub experience.

Delicious grilled pork knuckle. Away from the tourist spots.

Great Kolsch. The place was PACKED with people, great atmosphere. Loved it!

(Translated by Google) Very good destination and typical Kölsch. The food as you would expect in such a brewery and the Köbes is friendly. The prices are moderate. Tip: During Lent there is a delicious, top-fermented beer with a higher alcohol content. A little more expensive, but that comes from the higher proportion of hops ... (Original) Sehr gute Destination und typisch Kölsch. Das Essen so wie man es sich in solche einem Brauereiausschank erwartet und der Köbes ist freundlich. Die Preise sind moderat.
