We read great reviews about Brauhaus Pütz when we got to Köln and were not disappointed. We arrived…read morearound 6pm and while most front tables were reserved, there were several high top tables that were open, so we seated ourselves there and were quickly greeted by our server. We of course ordered Kölsch, which they bring around to drop off full glasses as soon as you finish the last sip of your previous glass. I ordered a dish from their seasonal asparagus menu, which was very tasty. The schnitzel was fried well without being too dry and the asparagus was huge, but still delicious. My bf got the Jägerschnitzel mit Pommes frites. The fries were crispy and the mushroom sauce was a great addition. Our server was very friendly and kind and we really enjoyed our meal here!

We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

Great little outdoor seating area, super friendly staff, great people watching, and did I mention the food? Oh yeah this food was amazing. If you've never had pork knuckle stop what you're doing and get it. The flavor was out of this world. Crunchy, salty, tender, and juicy all at once!

My husband ordered lamb while my sister ordered pork cutlet... very very delicious, the potatoes were awesome no need to ask for salt or pepper... sauce and herb used were more than enough... highly recommended when you're in Koln, Germany. The Koln beer was even tasty considering I don't drink beer.

We came here for an authentic food and drink experience right in the centre of Cologne. Steps from…read morethe Cologne cathedral, this is a local favourite. 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. Plus you have to have the kolsch - also a local beer - that comes in 200 ml glasses. Tip: the servers will keep replenishing your beer until you cover your glass with a coaster!

I stopped by here in the middle of the day to get a bite to eat and sample Reissdorf since I had…read morealready tasted Gaffel, Gilden, Fruh, Muhlen, Dom, and Sion. I was pretty hungry as well, and without even looking at the menu, I spotted a dish that another guy was eating so I just pointed to it and asked the server if I could have what that guy was eating. She was really nice and made sure I had a full, fresh glass at all times. My dish resembled a shake 'n bake pork chop, but the best shake 'n bake pork chop anyone has ever had. A side of potato salad and a tub of mustard complemented it just right. It was very low-key when I came in, but it looked like a great place to party.

This place was so cool! It was just down the block from our place, so we decided to check it out…read more First off- this is definitely a locals bar. We were the only ones speaking english, and about 90% of the people in there were 55+. Which we actually loved, because it was still so lively and high energy! It seems like almost all of the people in there know each other and are good friends. The seating is community style, so they will just sit you wherever there is a spot. We sat with 3 other people at a small round table. The place was packed, so we were lucky to get a seat. Maybe that was because of the soccer game, but either way it is not a large place, so I could see that being the norm. The waitress will very quickly come around with some Kolsch beer, and mark your coaster for every drink you get (they will just keep bringing them until you say stop). It seems like that is all they really serve- I did not see one single other type of beer/drink being served. They serve it in smallish glasses, so it stays fresh and cold. They have one menu with about 12 different choices. I asked a local what he recommended, and he did not disappoint. We got a fried pork chop with potatoes and salad, and a sausage with a carrot/potato mash, and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, and the portions were plenty large. For 2 dinners and 5 beers, we paid about 25 euros. Not bad at all considering the quality, portion sizes, and friendly service. I would definitey check this place out if you are looking for a non touristy place with local charm. Oh and I would have taken a picture, but I didn't want to make myself stick out as a tourist more than I already did haha!
