It's a typical European service style which I like a lot. I loved that they helped with allergy & gluten questions, and even modified my dish (which normally comes with pasta) to be workable for a gluten allergy.

I had the burger and was surprised when I saw it was two burger patties with the cheese in the middle. Really really flavorful burger. My husband had the schnitzel (pork art) and that was also cooked to perfection. Our friend who is pescatarian had the veggie burger and it looked and tasted like a real meat burger. We all enjoyed our meals. The service was ok. They took our order and brought our food not too chatty

We were seated immediately and every staff member we passed by was so kind and warm to our group. We all ordered Kölsch as well as the feast meal, spätzle, pork schnitzel, sausage, and sauerkraut. The feast meal easily fed 4 people and this was the best item we ordered hands down. The ambiance was so lively and everyone in the restaurant was so joyful to be there. This was the best restaurant we ate at on our trip. I can't recommend this place enough!

We decided to sit outside, but because it started to drizzle, we went inside. We paid for our drinks outside and brought them in with us. The waiter was not friendly. Asked if we had paid for our drinks, I said we paid outside. I'm not sure if he believed me. When he finally came to take our drinks outside order, he seemed irritated with us. We got our drinks and order our meals. Our meals arrived very quickly and everything was wonderful. However, upon closing our bill, the waiter got very angry with me saying something about good service and no tip. We are literally in Germany where you don't tip. It's a cool place to see, but I'm not sure I would go back.

Yes, the evening began with a semi-civilized dining on plates of predetermined authentic regional appetizers including meats, tartar, cheeses, crackers, and breads.

The main course Sauerbraten much of the same with beautiful and delicious Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Spaetzle, Laberkason, Red Cabbage, and Cheesecake for desert. Service was outstanding and on spot. The Brauerei was warm and festive. A fantastic meal, great spirited vibe with fresh Kolsch that never stopped!

And having an ipa or triple is so special that almost all customers were requesting a gift wrap. Living in the Seattle area, I'm Spokies by hundreds of local breweries, each with 10 or more styles. I like a lager occasionally, but seeing a can of the Swiss national beer: feldschlossen embossed with "lager hell" seemed an apt description of the beer situation, as well as the style. Hopfen and malz has dozens of beers from around the world, including some from Germany. And about 6-8 on tap, with a happy hour during the week. I'm aware of craft beers in Berlin getting around the strict reinheinsgebot law by simply calling themselves something other than beer. Hoping more do so! And that we see more places like this.

Schon mal ein Bier mit Sauerkrautsaft oder Wachholderbeeren probiert?   Wir möchten Euch gerne in die Welt der Biere begleiten und deshalb haben wir uns so einiges einfallen lassen: Ihr könnt zusammen mit unserem Biersommelier kreative   oder auch alt bekannte Biere brauen oder an einer Bierverkostung teilnehmen, bei der 6 verschiedene, internationale Biere vorgestellt und genau unter die Lupe genommen werden oder die Welt der Biere in Kombination mit Essen kennenlernen. Diese Events sind reservierungspflichtig. Wir haben zudem einen Gastraum mit ca. 50 Sitzplätzen und einen Bierladen mit einer riesigen Auswahl an Bieren aus der ganzen Welt. Wir freuen uns auf euren Besuch. Prooost!

Peter's Brauhaus is often described as a beer hall, but it is so much more than that. Once we entered, we were ushered into the bar, so that we could drink a local beer while we waited for a table. This gave us time to also take in the rustic wood construction of the interior, and enjoy the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen. Seating is family style, but they also have a few tables for two. The food is hearty traditional German fare, you won't need a second meal that day. This is certainly a must do in Koln, to have an authentic meal in a historic brauhaus.
