We were staying at the top of the hill, we saw this spot on our way down into town. It was outside the city center and we knew we should try it. "Are you looking for real beer?" was our greeting. We saw a list of Belgian beers on the chalk board, and we knew we had found our place. John was an excellent tour guide through many of the selections we had to choose from. We also had fantastic food. The chicken satay was incredible and a nice change from typical German fare. What a nice surprise in this small town.

Op dr Kinat- also known as: Bei Pohls or Bei Günther…read more This is he best Cologne-Stile pub in Zülpich. Dozens of the main beverage, Dom Kölsch, is always present in best cool quality. The audience is made up of welfare recipients, the middlebrow, businessmen and academics, everything you can imagine. A real old school Pub with really good and simple plain and cologne fare. Special offers are the seasonal fresh blue mussel and the really good Holsteiner Schnitzel. That is escalope in viennese stile, toped with roasted onions and 2 fried eggs on top, thereto pommes frites and salad. For snack I can offer to you the Mett-Hälfte, that is a half bred roll with pork hash and onions, and the Halfe Hahn, a rye bred roll with old gouda cheese and butter. Clear and brief: Really nice place here!

After dinner, I let my friend choose the place for drinks since she's the local. She took us to one…read moreof her favourite bars, Domkeller, which I'd classify as a dive bar. We dropped in on a Tuesday evening (around 9:15pm) and it was busy. There was a private event upstairs so the inside was packed. Luckily, we were able to snag a table outside beside the heaters. Nice touch with the blankets for you to use if you get cold. Only downside is lots of chain smokers but that's at most bars. There were a couple menus but we only were here for beers (€2,50 to €5,80 range). - Tannenzäpfle (€2,50 for 0,33L) - 2x Eifeler landbier (€2,50 for 0,30L) - 2x Bolten alt (€2,50 for 0,30L) Chill, laid back spot to grab a few beers with friends.

One of the coolest bars I've been to in long time! I looked up Domkeller on Yelp! and you all did…read morenot disappoint, I got just what I was looking for! Located (as the name suggests) right near the Dom, Domkeller offers good beer (German, Belgian as well as others) in a cozy atmosphere. For me, Domkeller embodies what a bar should be--a relaxed place where you can share a drink with friends and listen to good music (at just the right level) or have a good conversation. The music played here is fantastic and is an amazing mix that just about everyone will enjoy. They also regularly have concerts--I'm sure this place gets packed for those! Although a bit pricey (our bill came to around 12 with 2 beers and a snack) I think it's a nice enough place to enjoy a drink (skip the snack).
