Located in the little town of Paderborn, this is quite the hip lil pub right in the middle of…read moreDowntown. The food was good and the beers don't stop flowing. They have free wifi for those that need it, just ask the waitress, who btw is the Most beautiful girl in town!! We shall be back for more!

The food was delicious. As an American in germany, really good burgers are hard to come by. This…read moreplace does pretty well. They were over-cooked but I think that's pretty common in germany. A little bit of pink freaks them out. I however, enjoy the juicy-ness of a pink burger. (As any burger cones-sour should) Anyway, the flavor was great. The reason I gave three stars is because of the god-awful iPad ordering system. It screwed up our order once, and deleted two of our party's burgers twice. It took over an hour for the food to get to us, and that was after a human being noticed we had been waiting so long. (Thanks technology) All-in-all tasty burgers, terrible ordering system, and not the friendliest staff.

Came in for a solo dinner while traveling for business. There were no reserved tables and I was…read moreinstructed to sit anywhere I liked. The menu descriptions are in German, but the dish names were all English, I didn't ask if they had an English menu because I didn't need it. I opted for a beer, water, and pick-two BBQ... ribs, wings, and fries all sounded good and that one hits them all. The waitress asked if I wanted mayonnaise which gave me the opportunity to decline and ask for ketchup. I'm not exactly sure which stout I got, but it was smooth. The food came out shortly and was a generous portion and they put the whole bottle of ketchup on the table for my fries! Crispy chicken wings were the whole wing like you'd get in fried chicken but simply fried (no breading, no sauce, no seasoning- crispy skin). Ribs were tender enough, crispy on the outside with some sauce squeezed ontop. The fries are thick cut and were the star of the dish. Overall there's nothing wrong with the food or service and it satisfies the craving for this type of food. But, it's no replacement for barbecue from the bayou in the US.

I've stopped here in the afternoon a few times with friends to grab a drink. It was pretty slow the…read morefew times we went, but then again most bars are slow in the middle of the day. The list of beers included stouts from New Orleans, which my friend was brave enough to try. Unless you are an experienced beer drinker, I would recommend sticking to the local brews like Herforder Pils because the stout has a very unique and probably acquired taste. The New Orleans decor inside the bar/restaurant is pretty cool too.

ALEX offers a chill, laidback setting for a lunch break or midday coffee. At night, especially on…read moreFridays and Saturdays, the bar fills up with customers drinking Herforder Pils, the local brew. It's close location to Jahnplatz, Altstadt and the Strassenbahn's (streetcar's) Rathaus stop makes ALEX a great place to either start or end a night on the town in Bielefeld. Some of the music played sounds like a best of the 80s and 90s soft rock station, but that could be said of many German establishments I've enountered. The bathrooms are always pretty clean. The waitstaff and bartenders are helpful and friendly. They will also remember your usual order, if you become a regular customer. Brunch on the weekends is quite popular at the restaurant/cafe/bar. The food is great, especially the Italian Baguette. I recommend sharing the cheeseburger unless you have a big appetite. Drinks are very reasonably priced. Ice cream desserts are good too, and they can be ordered without the alcohol.
