Bar Beer garden

👍👍 Fantastic place and idea for a beer garden - plenty of things to offer at decent prices. There's a food truck right outside the garden, with standard foods like sausages. Highly recommend coming here to enjoy the river breeze. People often mention beer, nice, service, garden, drink, drinks, Super, staff, great, friendly,

    Probably one of my favourite bars in Cologne. Perfect for sunny days. Next to the chocolate museum by the river. They serve draft Allgäuer Büble beer, which is reason enough on it's own to pay a visit. Very relaxed on food. You can bring your own or buy chips, bratwurst etc at the little snack hut next to the beer garden.

    Nice area right above the Rhein which gives some extra possibilities for nice breezes during the hot summer days. No inside seating. A bit more limited drink menu and options, but the ones they do have are done very well. No food is served from them directly, you can however buy food from the "Matrossengrill" and freely bring that into their area.

    (Translated by Google) Page today 22.08.2018 17:00 h unfortunately very bad. We were just at the harbor snack something food and have and as for years on the terrace set which we were always offered. After the service asked us for drinks and we said that we only came to dinner, we were asked brusquely to leave the terrace. Does the snack now belong to the terrace or not? It would be good if this man would communicate more clearly since man on the brewery order on the table is clear on the VERZEHR of brought food. Especially since you were not brought along but PURCHASED? The food sales is no longer sufficient or the service was simply not gebrieft. It would be nice if someone would get an info. We would also have something to drink but this beverage selection is just too bad. (Original) Seite heute 22.08.2018 17:00 h leider sehr schlecht. Wir waren grade am Hafen Imbiss etwas Essen und haben und dazu wie seit Jahren auf die Terrasse gesetzt was uns ja auch immer angeboten wurde. Nach dem der Service uns nach Getränken gefragt hatte und wir gesagt haben das wir nur zum Essen gekommen sind wurden wir schroff aufgefordert die Terrasse zu verlassen. Gehört der Imbiss jetzt zur Terrasse oder nicht? Es wäre gut wenn mann das klarer kommunizieren würde da mann ja auf der Brauhaus Ordnung die auf dem Tisch liegt klar zum VERZEHR von mitgebrachten SPEISEN auffordert. Zumal Sie ja nicht mitgebracht wurden sondern da GEKAUFT? Reicht der Speiseumsatzt nicht mehr aus oder war der Service einfach nur nicht gebrieft. Es wäre schön wenn mann eine Info bekommen würde. Wir würden ja auch was Trinke aber dazu ist Getränkeauswahl einfach zu schlecht.

    (Translated by Google) Bad service and unkind. Didn't accept cash, since when is that legal? (Original) Slechte bediening en onaardig. Accepteerde geen cash, sinds wanneer is dat legaal?

    (Translated by Google) When we wanted to pay with cash, this was rejected on the grounds that "this is not a supermarket and we should be happy to get anything to drink". What? Beer is just okay but very expensive (4.50 €) (Original) Als wir mit Bargeld bezahlen wollten wurde dies mit der Begründung abgelehnt dass "das hier kein Supermarkt ist und wir froh sein sollen, überhaupt etwas zu trinken zu bekommen". Was? Bier ist grade so okay aber sehr teuer (4.50€)

    One of the best places to have a drink outside. Even better with the Matrosengrill immediately next, allowing the food to be consumed on the Hafenterrasse.

  • 4/5 Jan-H. M. 3 years ago on Google • 492 reviews
    Nice views on the river Rhine, the chocolate museum and the many bridges. Tasty German beers and other drinks on the menu. You are allowed to bring your own food. Prices are ok, partially a bit pricy.

  • 3/5 TripNFoodVisual 1 year ago on Google • 137 reviews
    Nice place to sit and drink. Shame they bring you an 0.3 Alster beer when the menu only states 0.5 only. They only charged for a 0.3, but that wasn't what I wanted. They should ask if it differs from the menu. Futher to the reply from the establishment. They understood fine and said we could have another afterwards. That wasn't the point though. The point was if the menu states 0.5 that's what you expect. Customers can't guess. Anyhow, other than that it is a very nice place to have a drink.

  • 5/5 Ally K. 8 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    GREAT place to stop and have a drink but the service was so awful . Had to flag down a server who then told me she couldn't take care of me it had to be someone else. By the time our drinks arrived we were already behind schedule. They charge to use the bathroom, I think if you have paid to purchase something it should be free.

  • 1/5 Eduardo C. 9 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Very rude staff. just because we brought drinks from the stand next door that also belonged to them were we buy Theo food they didn't take the care to simply explain that in that place they only served drinks and that all drinks had to be bought inside that space (perfectly understandable) they just told us that we had to leave. Yet another two friends that didn't had drinks really wanted a beer each and they stayed and were completely ignored even after calling several employees, they waited about 10/15min and no one answered them. I do not recommend, verry unprofessional staff. And being a place frequented by many tourists, it should also have informations in English and employees with more sensitivity to inform customers. Verry bad experience, do not recomend.

    (Translated by Google) So-so, unfortunately we sat at a table (can get hold of), to which self-service applies. Somewhat incomprehensible because an on-site service was.

    (Translated by Google) What should be good about it? Kölsch is only available in 0.3. This fact alone shows that Cologne residents are undesirable. Card is small. And the service took so long that we left. (Original) Was soll daran gut sein? Kölsch gibt es nur in 0,3. Allein dieser Umstand zeigt schon, dass Kölner unerwünscht sind. Karte ist klein. Und der Service hat so lange gedauert, dass wir wieder gegangen sind.

  • 5/5 Jörg L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A beautifully situated beer garden, with many guests and very nice service. However, there is no Kölsch, the beer comes from Bavaria but is tasty. If that does not bother you, and good thirst. (Original) Ein sehr schön gelegener Biergarten, mit vielen Gästen und sehr netter Bedienung. Es gibt dort allerdings kein Kölsch, das Bier stammt aus Bayern ist aber süffig. Wem das nicht stört nur hinein und guten Durst.

    (Translated by Google) We spontaneously went to the beer garden on June 12th, 2020. It was well attended at the time, but we were lucky and a table became free. Initially, it took a while for us to register and serve you. After that everything was flawless, friendly and quick. I didn't know the wheat variety but it was very tasty. I think I'm going there again. (Original) Wir sind am 12.06.2020 spontan in den Biergarten gegangen. Dieser war zu dem Zeitpunkt gut besucht aber wir hatten Glück und ein Tisch wurde frei. Anfänglich hat es etwas gedauert, bis wir vom Service registriert und bedient wurde. Danach war aber alles einwandfrei, freundlich und schnell. Die Weizensorte kannte ich zwar nicht aber es war sehr lecker. Ich denke da gehe ich auch wieder hin.

    (Translated by Google) We were once again strolling down the Rhine and so we came to the absolutely great beer garden, right here on the Rhine with a view of the Chocolate Museum. We were lucky, because with such great weather it is naturally packed. I think the brisk service here is exemplary, the prices are absolutely fair and so we like to come here again and again (Original) Wir sind mal wieder unten am Rhein bummeln gewesen und so kamen wir dann auch in den absolut tollen Biergarten, hier direkt am Rhein mit Blick aufs Schokoladenmuseum.
