We sat at a table in the centre and were able to enjoy the warm and friendly ambiance. A memorable dish was the Himmel Un Äd - a local specialty.

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.

Not really spicy, but super flavourful and the potatoes were great with it.

Love the ambience though, so I'd just head back and be prepared to wait.

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!

I got the best and first schnitzel of my life and I'm not being dramatic when I say it was a complete game changer. Crispy as you like with that creamy peppercorn gravy poured over top. I had a side of chips that soaked it up perfectly. Could have shed a tear right there at the table. Washed it down with five Kölsch on the spot. Ended up drinking about thirty throughout the day while walking around the city like a legend. Started early and never let off the gas. This meal brought me back to life. I went full animal mode until 3 in the morning and honestly I blame the schnitzel. Right place. Right time. Right pint. Quality food. Prime location. Germany, you've set the bar.

They use the cologne system of measuring the beers you drink by marking your coaster. Their beers are fantastic. Some are aged in whiskey barrels and and brewed by the restaurant.

Glad to have discovered something I love almost as much as stouts. Braustelle's Munchausen sour ale also ranks up there with the sours I love.
