Personeel begrijpt er niets van, prachtig Belgisch speciaalbier wordt geserveerd zonder glas en de muziek is belabberd. Bent u in Keulen op zoek naar een biertje? #voorjekijkendoorlopen

    So far the worst experience I have had in ages and it all has to do with two things. Number 1 we ordered of Kolch beer each which was well below the standard quality we have been getting everywhere else. It tasted absolutely disgusting to myself and my wife. So we complained. 😡 Number 2 the girl serving us did not want to hear if this. In fact she had the sheer stupidity and ignorance to say "well nobody else called it" as if we needed permission from someone else to object in the first place. She was adamant that we pay for it despite the fact that we left it back having taken a taste of the disgusting drink. Basically if you order something that tastes like raw sewage then you have to pay for the damn thing because you ordered it and nobody else complained. I explained to her our complaint on google translate and that we would exchange the kolch for two Peronis instead. She said okay but didn't follow through in the way we expected. So where manners, professionalism and good customer service is expected don't expect it here. We definitely didn't get that. What we got instead was the equivalent of a middle index finger extended. We paid for the raw sewage along with our Peronis beers. After we left we decided to have another kolch in a different place randomly selected and it was perfect as you would expect. Sadly the Bier Museum was anything but.

    Doesn't speak much English here and everything is in German so a language barrier is definitely present here. Opened late and 1 customer when I went... I didn't feel welcome here but I did sample the October fest beer at 5.50 e so not a waste of time but if more accommodating I would have sampled more beer... 3 star is OK but not great and I probably won't go back in a hurry...

    My favorite bar in Cologne. The beer list is great and the service exceptional. Came back to Cologne just to have a beer here again on our way back from Frankfurt.

    Bartenders speak English. Kolsch beer was very good here. I bought a local a round of beer for him and his wife and they were so appreciative I couldn't believe it. It's a small place to be sure, but the bartender was fun and he put on the sports channel I was hoping to see, so there that. A local tradition in this area is for guys and girls who are getting married, to go around selling stuff from a sort of concession box they carry around, like the type of concession box one would see from the 30 and 40's. Weird to American's but something of a norm out this way. They'll probably stop in so through them a few bucks and they'll go on their way. Stop by this bar and see if my name is still scrawled on the table in the corner. Maybe bring a sharpie and drop yours next to mine. Have a beer for Sully would ya.

    (Translated by Google) The waitresses were quick and nice. The toilet lady, however, doesn't work at all. You are already being pushed to leave money with her. And again and again. (Original) Die Bedienungen waren schnell und nett. Die Toilettedame jedoch geht gar nicht. Man wird schon arg bedrängt Geld bei Ihr zu lassen. Und das immer wieder.

    Cool space. Nice owner when I went and friendly small chatter amongst locals which made the experience better as a tourist.

  • 4/5 NJ F. 4 years ago on Google • 37 reviews
    It’s a small place but everything is decently priced. Nothing in is in English and I was the only one there that spoke English. Definitely a locals spot not a tourist spot.

  • 4/5 Ajay K. 5 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Good lively space with lots of people and different beers. You can always ask the bar men for beer suggestions if you're new to the place.

    Amazing place in the middle of Köln! A local beer pub, smal and cosy. They have amazing beer! We tried curry wurst with fries, and they were good. But we didn't go there for the food, but for the beer and atmosphere!

    Lovely staff. Great beer. Nice beer garden for people watching.

  • 5/5 Lukas M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place to enjoy a big variety of Tap Beer. Also its compared to other places in the Altstadt rather cheap. Service is also friendly and quick.

    good music , better outside than in

  • 3/5 Kevin C. 9 months ago on Google
    In fairness it was early afternoon when I visited this establishment. I didn't try their food menu so cannot score it. This bar had a great selection of beers from around Europe, however the server was more interested in having a cigarette outside than serving customers inside.

  • 5/5 Susan W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of beer so my partner said

  • 4/5 Andy H. 1 year ago on Google
    More than 20 beers on tap with loads more bottled beers from around the world. There are a lot of old artifacts on display. There is a limited food menu of just Burgers, Flammkuchen and Schnitzel, we had the Flammkuchen and it was delicious.

  • 4/5 Feyitsma 1 year ago on Google
    From all the places in Köln, this was the only one where they actually had a choice of beer. I was disappointed for not finding a beer café, i thought Germany stood for drinking beer. This is the place to go to if you want some. They just need to do something about the music, then it's perfect.

  • 4/5 Jerry D. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a good experience here. I was in town visiting for business from the US. It was interesting to see a selection of beers from around the world; many of which I've had before in their native countries. However, when in Cologne, I had to have the Kolsch! The music was playing a bit loud which precluded easy conversation. I always like to visit with people when I travel because it is interesting, and the music was a bit overwhelming for that. Also, I wish they had a better beer represented from the United States! We have better beer than Miller, and I hate for the world to think that this is all we have, haha! All in all, and pleasant visit, and will come back again someday. Prost!

    Great choice of beers and a cozy terrasse, but not all beers are draft - verify before you order.

    Bad beers, 2,5€ if you ask for a glass of water with your beer. If you want a Nice place te drink à good beer and have a nice Time, not here

  • 1/5 Gaspard G. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't go there, they make you pay for the water and the beers are too expensive and not even good beers from the World. And they add 1€ for fun at the end. Nice job guys

  • 5/5 Jun Yi O. 4 years ago on Google
    Stumbled here on a Monday evening. Really quiet, not many people around. Service was good and bartender was cool, will definitely return again for the wide selection of beers and atmosphere.

  • 2/5 Torsten M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beer and other drinks great. Corona protection was catastrophic. All crowded and (almost) nobody with a mask. Luckily I found a seat at a table at the end. There you are halfway far enough away from the other guests. Fortunately for the operator, no one from the public order office was there. That would have been more expensive. (Original) Bier und andere Getränke super. Corona Schutz war katastrophal. Alle Eng gedrängt und (fast) niemand mit Maske. Ich habe zum Glück an einem Tisch am,Ende einen Platz gefunden. Dort ist man halbwegs weit genug von den anderen Gästen entfernt. Zum Glück für den Betreiber war niemand vom Ordnungsamt da. Das wäre teurer geworden.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately not all types of beer are always available, which is a shame. Operation takes a long time even with normal customer traffic, as more time is spent with regular guests. (Original) Leider nicht immer alle Biersorten vorrätig, sehr schade.
