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!

Our waiter was super nice and understanding even when we could not read the German menu well. Good house wines and kolschs too - a nice German pub to checkout if you're in the area!

We were staying at an Airbnb down the block and stopped by on a warm spring night and sat on the…read morepatio. This is a neighborhood place. The servers and, I believe, the owners seemed to know everyone. We speak only rudimentary German and only one young woman spoke a bit of English. But we were still treated great. We muddled through the menu with what we knew and some guesses and a bit of help with Google translator. My wife went with the white asparagus risotto while I ordered one of the specials which we paired with a bottle of Riesling. Now to be fair I knew I was ordering a meat per the German word "fleisch". But I didn't recognize the type. Well "sülzfleisch" it turns out was a type of headcheese, home made, with a sauce on the side and baked potatoes. I was surprised but dug in. Both dishes were excellent! Great food and relaxed atmosphere. Worth stopping by.

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!

The spaetzle was some of the best we've had in this area. And the beer is smooth and very easy to drink! The service was friendly, patient, and not rushed. (This was rare for the area) We will be back!!

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.

Our waitress didn't speak any English and we didn't speak any German but we were able to get by with pointing and hand gestures. She was this super cute older German lady and she was really nice to us. We got cappuccinos and two slices of cake. I don't remember the exact names but they were both really good and not overly sweet. Great way to relax in the afternoon! Note that this place is cash only. We didn't know that before we went but we were lucky to have cash on hand.

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!
