    (Translated by Google) I'm really sorry because we like to drink Kölsch with you, but something is not going well ... were with you on Saturday ... had ordered the Camembert, also came, cut, totally firm and cold inside, complained, it came a new one ... exactly the same ... the third time no longer ordered ... was not calculated but seriously ... I don't dare to eat anymore ... used to be a safe bench ? Seldom eaten such a bad hunter's schnitzel ... extremely greasy and boring to death ... My husband was looking forward to the sausage and unfortunately had to find out that it no longer exists ... the new one is a no go ... (Original) Es tut mir echt leid da wir so gerne bei Euch Kölsch trinken, aber irgendwas läuft nicht rund... waren am Samstag bei Euch... hatte den Camembert bestellt, kam auch, angeschnitten , total fest und innen kalt, reklamiert , es kam ein Neuer... genau dasselbe... das 3te Mal nicht mehr bestellt... wurde nicht berechnet aber mal im Ernst--- essen trau ich mich nicht mehr... war früher immer ne sichere Bank ? Selten ein so schlechtes Jägerschnitzel gegessen... extrem fettig und sosse todeslangweilig... Mein Mann freute sich auf die Bratwurst und musste leider feststellen, die gibt es nicht mehr... die neue ein No Go...

    This place is full of Germans instead of tourists. Oceans of Kölsh, the deep fried ham hock is a wonder of the world. They also feature an absolutely gynormous pork chop, plus schnitzel with various traditional toppings. It took a long time to get our food on a Saturday night, but it was a fun wait and thoroughly worth the wait.

    This little eatery offers some great food and of course, Kölsch. The staff were friendly and very helpful. English is spoken readily and they were very accommodating with our group of nine people. The pork knuckle is some of the biggest and best that I have seen in the city and the crackle was so crispy. It is a lot of food for one person and you won't leave hungry. The beer was cold and refreshing. The venue is on a very trendy street with a lot of dessert options too.

    (Translated by Google) Nice Cologne brewery with good, traditional cuisine. Unfortunately there are hardly any parking spaces nearby. But you also drink a fresh Kölsch. (Original) Nettes Kölner Brauhaus mit gut, bürgerlicher Küche. Leider sind in der Nähe kaum Parkplätze vorhanden. Aber man trinkt ja auch ein frisches Kölsch.

    (Translated by Google) Food was very good, beer nice and cold and fresh on tap. Service friendly cheeky, as is usual in a brewery. (Original) Essen war sehr gut, Bier schön kalt und frisch vom Fass. Bedienung freundlich frech, wie es in einem Brauhaus üblich ist.

  • 4/5 Ca L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Really good quality at acceptable prices ? Food: We were there with a group (25 people). Everyone enjoyed it, whether it was schnitzel, sauerbraten or soup. Menu: is rather manageable in terms of the number of offers, but offers everything you could want in a brewery ? Beer: super tasty?? Service: attentive and friendly, even when "it gets stressful". Sure, you take a little time until the meal order is taken ... the restaurateur may argue with "time and comfort" for the guests ... the guest may perceive it as "he should drink as much as possible" ? WC: very clean Parking: typically difficult to find in city centers, car parks or hotels are often cheaper than parking tickets on the side of the road. (Original) Richtig gute Qualität zu akzeptablen Preisen ? Essen: Wir waren mit einer Gruppe dort (25 Personen). Allen hat es gut geschmeckt, egal ob Schnitzel, Sauerbraten oder Suppe. Speisekarte: ist bzgl. der Anzahl der Angebote eher überschaubar, aber bietet alles, was man sich in einem Brauhaus wünscht ? Bier: super lecker?? Bedienung: aufmerksam und freundlich, auch wenn es "mal stressig wird". Klar, man lässt sich ein wenig Zeit, bis die Essensbestellung aufgenommen wird ... der Gastronom mag mit "Zeit und Gemütlichkeit" für die Gäste argumentieren ... der Gast mag es so wahrnehmen, "er soll möglichst viel trinken" ? WC: sehr sauber Parken: typisch für Innenstädte schwierig zu finden, Parkhäuser oder Hotels sind oft günstiger als Parkschein am Straßenrand.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately I have never been there, but celebrate Carnival once and would like to praise in this sense. Because of the crowds, a waiter overturned me a whole wreath of beer. The response to my complaint was just great and totally customer friendly. Super quick response to my mail, sorry and compensation for the evening. I will definitely come to Corona for dinner! It always looks very inviting :) Stay healthy and hopefully see you soon !! (Original) Leider war ich noch nie dort essen, aber einmal Karneval feiern und möchte in dem Sinne einmal ein Lob aussprechen. Aufgrund des Gedränges wurde mir von einem Kellner ein ganzer Bierkranz übergekippt. Die Reaktion auf meine Beschwerde war einfach nur klasse und total kundenfreundlich. Super schnelle Reaktion auf meine Mail, Entschuldigung und eine Entschädigung für den Abend. Nach Corona werde ich definitiv zum Essen kommen! Es sieht auf jeden Fall immer sehr einladend dort aus :) Bleibt gesund und hoffentlich bis bald!!

    (Translated by Google) I am not from China. Nevertheless, the waitress jokes that I would otherwise eat bats and that I should fly home as soon as I entered. The food, however, was delicious. (Original) Ich komme nicht aus China. Trotzdem macht die Bedienung Witze, dass ich sonst Fledermäuse essen würde und ich gleich nach Hause fliegen sollte, als ich eingetreten bin. Das Essen hingegen war lecker.

    We go here about once a year and the food is always pretty damn great. Beer service will make sure you never have an empty glass. I'd recommend most other dishes over the schnitzel however.

  • 4/5 Charles L. 5 years ago on Google
    We ate the 'heaven and earth' dish, which was black pudding, mashed potatoes, fried onions with an apple sauce, and the baked potato. Both dishes were very good. The place is large, traditional but also quite modern and clean. Pretty good service and fair prices.

    A lively, authentic pub on the southern end of the Altstadt with all ages represented and plenty of Reissdorf Kölsch flowing. A majority of the guests are German so you know this place is the real deal. The menu is brief but all quality offerings. Their Pikante Gulaschsuppe was outstanding and the Hacksteak à la Meyer was unique and very filling. A great local pub!

  • 5/5 Simon Z. 11 months ago on Google • 77 reviews
    Can't go wrong with this one! Authentic Cologne Brauhaus experience with little to none tourist opposed to comparable establishments closer to the Dom Cathedral. Good food and never ending streams of Kölsch!

  • 5/5 Adrian S. 9 months ago on Google • 58 reviews
    We were a big group and only two of us suffered from a delayed delivery of our meals. The waiter was so nice and service-oriented that she proactively came to check who’s missing their meals, found us and brought as a beer on the house. We didn’t need to complain or explain anything. A really great place.

  • 4/5 Tin K. 6 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Nice kölsch beer place with a bit of a modern rather than authentic style. Beer was good and refreshing and rather freshly tapped.

    Kalbsschnitzel 😋😋 I love the places where people don’t pretend and you can easily strike up a conversation with the staff as well as the people sitting around you. It’s that type of a place with great food! And of course unlimited Kölsch.

    Nice spot with good beer and nice food. In a lovely part of town. Friendly service, but not the quickest. Happy to return.

  • 4/5 Mina E. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a typical German food. The food was Ok but for me the meat didn't have any taste. Friendly staff and the price is reasonable. The place is quite big you don't need to book a table.

  • 3/5 Vinh N. 4 years ago on Google
    We wanted to try the pork knees but it was sold out. The food was ok but waiting time was long esp. for the menu and the beer.

    Pretty decent Brauhaus, at least not too touristy. The atmosphere is not as nice compared to other Brauhauses, especially because of the terrible lighting and plasticy furniture and floor.

  • 4/5 Reinhold B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We were on a Tuesday for two at around 7:00 p.m. to eat in the old brewery, there were only a few guests present, so we could easily find a place in the narrow outdoor area. Everything was very clean, the service was very friendly, easy-going and too little jokes. The food was good, plentiful and the value for money is ok. There was ribbon pasta with fresh chanterelles and farmer's cutlet with braised onions and fried potatoes. (Original) Wir waren an einem Dienstag zu zweit so gegen 19:00 Uhr zum essen im alten Brauhaus, es waren nur wenige Gäste anwesend, so konnten wir im schmalen Aussenbereich locker einen Platz finden. Es war alles sehr sauber, die Bedienung sehr freundlich, locker und zu kleinen Späßchen aufgelegt. Das Essen war gut, reichlich und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist in Ordnung. Es gab Bandnudeln mit frischen Pfifferlingen und Bauernkotlett mit geschmorten Zwiebeln und Bratkartoffeln.

    (Translated by Google) The Kölsch directly from the barrel is first class, friendly and fast service, very delicious food. A reservation is recommended, especially if you want to stay longer.

  • 4/5 Brendan D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice location and atmosphere on Severinstrasse. Super typical brewery food and delicious Reissdorf Kölsch. The service is not always great ... if you eat, drink and chat with 10 buddies in the brewery you shouldn't have to ask new Kölschs, but unfortunately that is sometimes the case. (Original) Schöne Location und Atmosphäre auf der Severinstraße. Super brauereitypisches Essen und leckeres Reissdorf Kölsch. Die Bedienung ist nicht immer so spitze... wenn man mit 10 Kumpeln und Kumpelinnen im Brauhaus isst, trinkt und schwätzt sollte man nicht noch neuen Kölschs fragen müssen, das ist aber leider manchmal der Fall.

    (Translated by Google) As always, very good! (Original) Wie immer sehr gut !

  • 1/5 Super P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very bad card. Unfortunately there are not many traditional dishes from the Rhenish cuisine here, there is very little variety, instead only meat dishes. The "vegetarian" offers are not a real alternative, unfortunately there is not even a soup or a stew. Had to go back as a vegetarian, and my meat-eating companions didn't want to eat meat every day either. (Original) Sehr schlechte Karte. Leider gibt es hier nicht viele traditionelle Gerichte aus der Rheinischen Küche, es gibt sehr wenig Abwechslung, stattdessen nur Fleischgerichte. Die „vegetarischen“ Angebote sind keine echte Alternative, es gibt leider nichtmal eine Suppe oder einen Eintopf. Musste als Vegetarier wieder gehen, und auch meine Fleischesser-Begleiter mochten nicht jeden Tag Fleisch essen.

    (Translated by Google) I had to wait a long time for my food and when it arrived it wasn't the things I ordered. Me and my husband had a very long trip looking for a place to relax after an 8 hour drive. The restaurant disappointed me when we spoke to this gray haired waitress that the food was not ours, she pretended to have it not heard ?! And don't give us any excuses like she might not have heard us because she definitely heard us. unacceptable! (Original) Ich musste lange auf mein Essen warten, und als es ankam, waren es nicht die Dinge, die ich bestellt hatte. Ich und mein Mann hatten eine sehr lange Reise und suchten nach einem Ort zum Entspannen nach 8 Stunden Fahrt Das Restaurant enttäuschte mich, als wir mit dieser Kellnerin mit grauen Haaren sprachen, dass das Essen nicht unser war, tat sie so, als hätte sie es nicht gehört?! Und sag uns keine Ausreden, als hätte sie uns vielleicht nicht gehört, weil sie uns definitiv gehört hat. inakzeptabel!
