Latest reviews from Koln

“The only (good?) craft beer bar in town, so that makes it a mandatory stop when in town. It's about a 10-min walk from the central station. They have 15 beers on tap. Flights of 5x0.1L pours for €14 (same as Holy Craft Beer Bar in Dusseldorf). Bartender was very friendly and hospitable. Beer list wasn't that exciting though. They had an imperial stout on, but the rest was pretty pedestrian stuff; I guess even craft beer geeks in Cologne aren't that adventurous. Very pleasant spot to chill, but it doesn't open until late (6pm) during the week.“

“About a 30-minute walk from the centre, the draw of this place is they have more than 1 tap (!!!). They had a standard kolsch, an unfiltered (wiess), a weizen, and a bock when I went. 0.2L pours for the kolsch, 0.3L for the others, though the bartender serving me was happy to do (very generous) samples so that I didn't have to order over 1L of beer to tick them all. Beer quality was meh -- regular kolsch was average and the other two I tried were not to my taste. If you have time, worth a visit.“

“Right in the old town, close to Päffgen. If you just want beer, go to the small room on the right. €2.30 for a 0.2L pour. Beer quality was fine, maybe slightly above average for the style. Friendly service. Worth a stop when doing the rounds.“

“Really nice bottle shop about 20 minutes walking north of the centre. Small shop, with 4 sections of beers: sours and dark shit unrefrigerated, with German lagers and IPAs refrigerated. You can also drink beers on premises. Toby, the owner, is the nicest guy and very knowledgeable. I hung out with a beer and got a few things to go. Worth a stop when in Cologne once you’re bored of kolschs.“

“Right on Heumarkt square. Nice spot, with the usual 1 beer on tap (€2.30 for 0.2L). Pleasant service. Not one of the better kolschs in town, but it was fine. Nothing special, but worth a stop when doing the rounds.“

“Just south of the centre, yet another German brewpub with a single kolsch on tap — theirs is slightly above average. €2.30 for 0.2L pours. English was less well spoken here but still easy to get by. Worth a stop if doing the rounds in this boring beer city.“

“Just a little south of the station, this is the usual German brewpub. One beer, 0.2L pours for €2, cheaper than elsewhere. Their kolsch is about average for the city centre brewpubs. Service is pleasant but slow. May as well visit when you’re stuck in this boring beer city.“

“Traditional German brewpub, about 20 minutes walking from the central station. 1 beer, the top-rated German kolsch on RB - it’s fine. 0.2L pours for €2.20. Pleasant service. Cash only. Worth the walk so you can tick the top-rated version of this super boring style.“

“Another traditional German brewpub next to the cathedral serving of their kolsch (plus a radler). €2.30 for a 0.2L pour. Nice atmosphere and pleasant service. Not the best kolsch in town but may as well come to tick it as it’s so central.“

“Right by the cathedral / central station, fairly large German brewpub. One beer, 0.2L pours for €2.30. Pleasant service. Not one of the better kolschs in town, but may as well come for the tick since it’s so central. Pleasant place to relax.“

“Pretty impressive place with large, elegant rooms covered in sober wooden panels. Outside seats facing a cathedral. Good service, the Kölsch is unfortunately pretty mediocre.“

“Small, local pub, rustic but a bit dull. Some seats on the outside street. A bit confused service. Food was good. The kölsch was decent.“

“A bit crazy but genuine local pub in an old house that we visited early a saturday evening. Crowded inside and on the patio, lots of people on the sidewalk and the street. Not many tourists though from what I could tell. Päffgen on "cask". Surprisingly efficient service.“

“Very nice local brewpub in an equally nice neigbourhood of Köln. A few seats out on the sidewalk. Okay beer selection. Friendly service.“

“2022 rating: this was weird place. Like Marduk said, most beers were actually out. Also the whole atmosphere was kind of weird, moldy air, very used things,dark, like some haunted house or something. Memorable, but not really something I would want to visit again.“

“2022 rating: best beer experience in Köln. Owner was very friendly and chatty. You can't drink on the spot (he doesn't have the license), but you can drink in front of the shop. Good selection of craft and locals, not maybe the biggest (but also not small by any means!) selection you may have seen, but well curated - so ticks you find are usually worth your time.“

“2022 rating: as Marduk said, the place was actually closed, but staff were nice enough to let us buy something to go. So extra points for that. Otherwise looked like one of the best craft selections in Köln area.“

“Used two times the online shop. A lot of NRW mircos and some other online hard to get micros out of Germany. Prices are okay. Fast comunication and delivery.“

“Retro/old style Kölsch bar. Reasonable prices, but slow service. Only one beer, but kölsch in Köln, so still worth a visit. Ok bar.“

“Not sure why it is in rb, but the toilet was free and clean. So worth a visit when you need to take a leak. Beer wise: just a couple of macros, so avoid.“

“Craft beer bar on the outskirts of Aldstadt. A small chill place, nicely spaced indoor table. They have an outdoor deck upstairs as well. Sort of a typical craft beer bar interior, slightly dim with candles. They have 15 taps, almost all are German beers but they have a couple random others (Romania for example). A number of taps were the typical German styles and then they had some IPAs, sour/wild/fruited beers, and a couple of imperial stouts. Really well rounded list. Nice additional to the traditional Koln beer scene.“

“Large brewhaus near the Dom. Surprisingly large inside with tons of seating. Only the Kolsch served of course. They seemed a little more aggressive in refilling your glass, compared to other places. Apparently you’ve got to put the coaster on top even while you’re still drinking your last beer! Traditional German food menu, really good food too. Well worth a stop.“

“One of the few craft beer bars in cologne. Just off the Heumarkt. A smallish cozy place. They have 20 taps, a few Delirium beers of course. The rest are predominantly European. Variety of styles, though certainly a number of Belgians. Definitely worth a stop if you want to get away from Kolsch for a bit.“

“Nice cozy brewpub in Alter Markt. Lots of tables, nice interior with wood carvings. They just have the Kolsch of course (surprisingly we were able to order it in a large size, though no one else was doing that). They have traditional German food available (which I didn’t order). Good beer, worth a stop.“

“Small crowded brewpub in Alter Markt. They serve just their Kolsch, in 0.2 l Kolsch glasses. It’s pretty good. They have a large food menu as well, all traditional German food (I didn’t have any). Definitely worth a stop for an authentic Köln Bier experience! (Have to rate it low because there’s no selection really! But you know that going in)“
