Kölner Kompass

Tour operator

👍👍 Although we unfortunately chose the hottest day of the year, we drank more Kölsch to cool off and had a very fun and informative afternoon - a tour that I would happily recommend. Thank you!

Gaststätte Lommerzheim

Pub

👍👍 Quite an experience! Once you sit down, the waiter brings you a glass of cold beer without placing an order. Once you’ve almost finished your first glass, the second is placed on your table. Until you say no or place the paper coaster to cover your glass. The beer is typical Kölsch, which is very re...

Braustelle

Brewery

👍👍 Round about 11 years ago I visited Braustelle for the first time. Since then, whenever I am in Cologne, I’ll go here for an evening full of great food and delicious beers. Various styles, including sours, stouts and barley wines manufactured in cologne’s smallest professional brewery. Recommend.

Zum alten Brauhaus

👍👍 Oh well. We're not just talking about restaurants here. This brewery. But much more and better. . The owner's name is Sharan and he comes from India. A great guy.

Privatbrauerei Gaffel Becker & Co. OHG

Brewery

😠 We had a small piece of brown glass in a gaff glass bottle we bought from the supermarket. We noticed this when pouring into a glass. Fortunately, we drank from a glass and not from a bottle. The splinter was very thin and 8mm long, so hardly visible. But the consequences would be devastating due t...

FRÜH am Dom, die FRÜH Lounge

Function room facility

😠 The service is very rude, the worst I ever had in Germany. I travelled in the Europe for over 10 years and never been treated like this. Is that because I look like Asian? Do not recommended to come, even people said the food is good or beer is good. With the same amount of money, you can find some...
