    We wanted to eat normal and tasty German food. And it was the correct place. Portion is big. Everything was delicious. We were sitting under the sun and enjoyed our kolsch 😀. The staff is friendly and funny. And it's a very old building and an old restaurant with a long story. Truly recommend.

    True local Kölsch Kneipe. In the front it's just for drinks, in the back for food as well. Cosy atmosphere for a Brauhaus.

    I loved this place! A classic high quality brahaus with all that goes with it, funny staff, non stop beer and great food. The place was full of diverse people and pretty loud with a bar at the other side of the restaurant. Please note it’s cash only. We had some great knödel (German dumpling) and meat. I highly recommend this place. Remember to try the Früh beer!

    Had the haxe. Pork knuckle which was huge and had lovely crackling and nice sauerkraut and roast potatoes. Delicious.

    Such a cosy and warm place! Very nice and friendly staff and amazing food. The Goulash was so heartwarming and delicious. It seemed to be a local restaurant and popular within seniors, which gave it a more authentic atmosphere. I recommend making a reservation

    Here you will get the true local food and beer. Which means: a lot of meat and a lot of beer. It was a true experience, and I liked it a lot. You must know, don't go here if you don't eat mean (there is no other option). But if you like meat you should go. The concept with the beer is really fun. They will give you small glasses of beer and once you finish it, they will give you a new glass without asking. When my friend asked for a coke, she got a disappointed look. Just so you know.

    Fast service and good food. I had reibekuchen and kaiserschmarrn and both were good. Price is ok. Beer could be better.

  • 5/5 Tracy K. 3 months ago on Google • 38 reviews New
    Wow, this place was buzzing and busy from the moment we opened the door! Although they didn't have our table booking, that didn't matter, we waited 30mins at the bar. For me this was a real German pub (my first visit to Germany) and the food reflected this. A customer helped with some menu translation but we all had a "giant" ham hock, mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. Rounds of drink were marked on beer mat with our table number...great idea! Waiting staff and customers were funny and friendly. A definite recommendation, a great night.

    (Translated by Google) Operatives take to the inner-city early breweries mostly tourists, this is more of a meeting place for people of Cologne from the southern city and the surrounding area. The food is not very different from that of other breweries and always provides a good basis for numerous Kölsch. Fortunately the light rail stop is just around the corner. (Original) Verschlägt es in die innerstädtischen Früh-Brauhäuser überwiegend Touristen, ist dies eher Treffpunkt für Kölnerinnen und Kölner aus der Südstadt und Umgebung. Das Speisenangebot unterscheidet sich kaum von dem anderer Brauhäuser und bietet stets eine gute Grundlage für zahlreiche Kölsch. Glücklicherweise ist die Stadtbahn-Haltestelle direkt um die Ecke.

    (Translated by Google) Typical Cologne brewery, centrally located in the southern part of the city. Good menu, also seasonally stocked, and delicious early Cologne. Then the lid is pretty full quite quickly ... :) The price-performance ratio is right here, the Köbesse are typically kölsch a bit snotty, but that's exactly what you'd expect in a brewery. Clear recommendation. (Original) Typisches kölsches Brauhaus, zentral gelegen in der Südstadt. Gute Speisekarte, auch saisonal bestückt, und leckeres Früh-Kölsch. Dann ist der Deckel auch ziemlich schnell ziemlich voll... :) Preis-Leistung stimmen hier, die Köbesse sind typisch kölsch etwas schnodderig, aber genau das erwartet man ja in einem Brauhaus. Klare Empfehlung.

    Waiter was fantastic! Read our minds, super friendly and very helpful. Food fantastic! We had jaegar schnitzel, pork knuckle and grilled pork, then finished off with apple strudel - perfect. The beer is refilled unless you put a coaster on your glass so be careful. Really great experience

    (Translated by Google) Was there for the first time. First for morning pint and lunch and in the evening for a meeting. It is enough if you write great. The Kölsch replenishment does not tear off at the table, that's how it has to be. The beer is great. The food more than great. There is a lot to see in the area. I will definitely come back. (Original) War das erste mal da. Erst zum Frühschoppen und Mittagessen und am Abend zu einem Treffen. Es reicht wenn man schreibt super. Der Kölsch Nachschub reißt nicht ab am Tisch, so muss es sein.

    Hardcore German food. Awesome beer and taste. If you want to learn sth about German lifestyle avoid Munich's Oktoberfest and visit a brauhaus in Cologne! BTW, the 'harsh' behavior of the service is part of the experience ;)

  • 4/5 David G. 4 years ago on Google • 22 reviews
    If you don't put a beer mat on your glass they keep delivering tiny glasses of beer when you run out. It's excellent, the food is very very local German too. Local kolsch beer served straight from a tiny barrel at the end of the bar that's replaced several times a night. You don't get much more authentic German beer than this place.
