Alt Bielefeld in Bielefeld

Great evening! Stumbled in at eight on a Monday. 10 minutes after ordering I had both beer and Leberkäs on the table. Food was delicious, beer had a perfect head. What more could you want after a tiring day?

We found Alt Bielefeld more or less by chance. When I entered I felt transported back to my youth, I had the feeling of entering an old pub (or a rifle lodge) (I mean that in a positive way because I have fond memories of it). We hadn't made a reservation and decided to go there at short notice. After the waitress checked to see when the tables were reserved, we were able to take a seat. The prices were quite cheap for today's times and it tasted wonderful. The first visit was a coincidence, next time we will specifically eat at Alt Bielefeld.

Very tasty restaurant, top service, fair prices, we were very satisfied

Basically recommended. It's just a shame that there was a Bernese Mountain Dog sitting at our next table. We generally find animals in restaurants and cafés very questionable. With every shake, lots of hair flew through the air and the constant cuddling and stroking without washing your hands afterwards is quite unsavory. The food was delicious and the service was great.

A small pub where you can just go and drink a delicious beer.

Very nice and welcoming classic German pub. Excellent beer, we haven't tasted the dishes yet. Advised.

Rustic, tasty, friendly at a great price. So good that we ate dinner there two days in a row.

Everything was great and nice service

Totally great...food, great atmosphere. Always my pleasure.

The house kale, 1 a. Here you can still eat like your mother's... It's also dog-friendly here.

German, delicious home cooking. The lunch menu is unbeatable in terms of price.

Gutes Lokal für klassische Küche.Sehr gute Preise

Delicious schnitzel with fries and fresh salad.

Delicious, cheap home cooking, unfortunately very loud other guests

German traditional cuisine and seasonal dishes are served in Alt Bielefeld. The guest room is separate from the economy. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The drinks are served straight away. In most cases you should make a reservation on the weekend.

It was super tasty and the service was extremely accommodating, funny and laughing. Kale and pork medallions were right 😋 we can only recommend!!

Good food, decent prices and great service! Thank you, gladly again.

Traditional restaurant with hearty local cuisine - delicious!

super cozy restaurant and restaurant. Very tasty, home-style food with perfect service. The price-performance ratio is simply unbeatable.

Gemütliches Altstadtlokal mit sehr leckerem Essen zu guten Preisen. Sehr kompetentes und freundliches Personal. Wir haben uns hier an 2 Abenden sehr wohl gefühlt.

Very good service. Unfortunately the operator had to close at midnight because of the neighbors

The lunch was exceptionally tasty and there was a great atmosphere. Service was impeccable and quick. We recommend kale dishes in autumn/winter. We'll definitely be back

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food (the kale menu is recommended) and great service! I'd love to come back.

Very nice traditional pub and restaurant. The food tasted very good and the service was great.

A very cozy pub...on one side a nice restaurant...on the other side a bar with a counter and seats. Everything in dark wood, with nice guests, very friendly staff in a homely atmosphere.

Great food, very friendly service

Cozy, welcoming, always a pleasure!

One of the last rustic pubs in downtown Bielefeld. The schnitzels are great and the service was friendly and quick, even though it was completely full.

Nice atmosphere, good service and delicious food for a small price. I had the Grunkohlplatte, definitely recommended if you like hearty food!

Traditional German cuisine for reasonable money.

Exactly what we were looking for. Even though it was full we still managed to get a table for 4 people, I recommend reserving for a Saturday evening :) The food was delicious and the beer too!

One of the oldest locations in Bielefeld. Good regional cuisine that also offers sessional dishes. A quaint, cozy facility with a good atmosphere. The staff is friendly, attentive and always trying hard.

We first had a beer, then took a short walk through the old town and then went in for lunch. Service friendly and quick. Food was good and portions were normal. Ambience is really great. It was nice and well priced. Thank you very much

Delicious German food in a brewery atmosphere

Very tasty food and great prices.

Super nice evening! We had a wonderful evening here with friends. We went to the restaurant to have something delicious to drink. That worked! The friendly “service Katja” is particularly praiseworthy here. You can tell that she simply enjoys the job. It was a great evening. We say thank you.🙏 Couple 60 plus from Hamburg.

Great restaurant with lots of regular guests. Fair prices. Katja is great and a competent service person. we've been coming here for years. Thanks also from our visit from Hamburg!

The food was very tasty. And the service was very friendly.

Great beer, very tasty food. Great prices and a friendly environment. A great place to eat and drink in Bielefeld.

Great little beer pub, highly recommended

Das hat Spaß gemacht! Auf einen Absacker hier gelandet und die Zeit genossen. Freundlicher, schneller und aufmerksamer Service. Wie kommen gerne mal wieder, wenn wir in Bielefeld sind .

Authentic old world German restaurant and pub. We went here twice during our 2022 Kitchen Fair visit and 3x during our 2024 visit. The food is delicious and authentic. We usually order the seasonal items and add a few other tasty bites. It’s too much food yet great to experience all the different flavors. The pub is small and cozy with good beers on tap. Recent visit for dinner was solo and Katja went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable. Huge appreciation for her! 🥰She remembered my name 2 days later when I popped into the pub for a beer. Mahalo🌺

Very nice pub where you can also eat delicious food. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our dog was given treats and water. Prices are definitely appropriate. Highly recommended.

Nice rustic restaurant with a good, manageable menu.

Price performance great. Cheap and yet large portions.

The food was delicious and the service was good!

Traditional gastronomy with averagely good food at a fair price.

I recommend the steak, very good quality

Nice people, always good for a short visit

Very nice staff, great shop, gladly again

Tapped Herforder, says it all!!!

We tasted national dishes - Snizel it was very tasty, we highly recommend to visit! Good service and good atmosphere 😊👍

I visited Bielefeld for a week on business and was blown away by the traditional food and beer on the first day. I returned twice more because of the excellent food quality, service, and atmosphere.

Typically German bar and restaurant. Tables on the street for the bar, and the restaurant is indoors. Typical German decor. The restaurant is a little stuffy in summer. We were very well taken care of. Delicious food, but nothing very special.

Good home cooking with local beer in the heart of Bielefeld!

Had a delicious lunch with my wife today. Plus a perfectly tapped KÖLSCH, in the fresh air. What more could you want on a summer day? Plus very nice service and moderate prices. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food and great price too

Very nice place with typical dishes. Staff very pleasant.

Overall I'm happy with it.....beer but delicious

After a bike ride, a super quaint pub with great service and great cuisine. There were 7 of us and we all ordered something different and were very satisfied. Again and again, great, keep it up. Thank you for the lovely evening.

There are 4 stars just for the bar part. Careful attention is paid to ensuring that you don’t get thirsty in the first place 😉. Next time we will also try the kitchen.

Good cuisine at affordable prices! Thanks!

Good pepper steak, unfortunately with a bacon edge, which could have been removed in the kitchen immediately after frying. The salad was a bit dry without dressing, a shame.

Nice ambience, friendly and quick service, delicious food and affordable prices.

Food was good. Service too. Prices completely ok.

We easily got a place for two in the evening. Drinks and food were served quickly, were very good and just the right amount. The next day we were there in the afternoon for a beer and sitting outside. It was very nice both times.

Haben abends zu zweit problemlos einen Platz bekommen. Getränke und Essen wurden schnell serviert, waren sehr gut und genau die richtige Menge. Am nächsten Tag waren wir nachmittags auf ein Bier da und saßen draußen. War beides Mal sehr schön.

It's a hidden restaurant and pub. Really delicious food and friendly service. The atmosphere is a bit old but ok

It's a lovely pub with delicious food, great service and a lovely old-fashioned atmosphere! We didn't know the store before but we'd love to come back 😀!

We ordered Schweinefiletmedallions in Cognac-Pfeffer-Sauce and Zigeunerschnitzel. Both of them were good! Can't say anything more. Good price and big portions. We were here around 13:00 something, not so many peoples in the restaurant = easy choosing where to sit. The service man was nice and friendly, he talked a little bit fast and quietly. But take your time and ask again. Price (2P) : ~45€ (with drinks)

Very rustic. Delicious home-style food. Service is great.

Great food, great service, delicious schnitzels, polite people, nice atmosphere, highly recommended again!

Very comfortable there. Good price-performance ratio.

The steak tastes great too. I like that there is a menu of the day. The friendly staff are the best!!!!!

Cozy brewery-style restaurant; delicious food and nice service staff; Price/performance ratio is great

Great home cooking. Where else is that available? Highly recommended and would be happy to come again.

A small, somewhat inconspicuous gem with a rustic atmosphere in Bielefeld, with delicious food (including daily specials!), courteous service and very fair prices. We'll definitely come back.

Great pub and great food Down-to-earth prices, good food and a great ambience! I'd love to come back here.

There is nothing to complain about, everything is tip top.

I was there for the first time today, nice old-style interior, friendly service and very reasonable prices, we had matjes, pork schnitzel with fries and plaice fillet “Finkenwerder style”. All in all, solid home cooking, unfortunately the fried potatoes with the plaice fillet were almost black, the fish itself wasn't crispy, but rather limp on the outside and falling apart on the inside. Was there a microwave at work here? The next time I come and the vanilla pudding also has the chocolate sauce on the menu (it was missing this time), we can take another look at the rating.

Great atmosphere, whether young or old. Food is fantastic and the price-performance ratio is A1. Whether inside in the catering area, at the bar or outside You are greeted with warmth and friendliness. One of my favorite 'pubs' in Bielefeld.

An average but well-attended restaurant due to the delicious food...one of probably Bielefeld's oldest restaurants/pubs...but therefore a more upscale crowd

Solid home cooking, very very friendly service, totally child-friendly and attentive

This review refers exclusively to our visit on May 20, 2024. On other days we received more professional service. We visited the Alt Bielefeld restaurant for lunch on Whit Monday. There were four of us. We were given a table “back in the corner”. When asked “The beautiful round one?” it was then said “no this one”. “This one” was positioned so close to another that we had to move ours aside a bit. When ordering we were asked what the soup of the day was. A “Wait a minute, I have to ask” and the waitress was gone. She should know this when she starts work in the lunch service. After we had ordered, the round table was occupied by a group of three people who were shooed away. We had two different dishes. Asparagus was served first, which had the opportunity to cool down a bit until the second dish arrived. The plates were not warmed. One of the drinks we had was still water, not chilled. Here an ice cold one was served without comment. The round table now obviously had the right guest because it was assigned to an individual. All in all, the operator gave the impression that she was completely overwhelmed. Even if the restaurant wasn't really full.

Wine and food extremely tasty good Seating ok

Simply great. The food is freshly cooked here and at fair prices. But you can also just sit outside and enjoy a freshly tapped Duckstein and watch the people stroll around.

This place was packed on a Friday night. Four of us there, we ironically all ordered the pepper steak. Phenomenal food, beer and desserts. Very fair pricing too. No regrets coming here!

It was very great there. The food was very tasty and the atmosphere was really quaint. 👍

Simply German, just exactly what you need.

Great food and even better service! This is an authentic German expirence found in a quiet dinning room. Love it!

Atmosphere: Nice quaint restaurant/pub. I can only agree with the comments that it is for the older generation. They are more welcome here. Service: We wanted the daily menu, apparently it was sold out. 2 other old gentlemen ordered it and received it straight away. According to the tone of the conversation, they have been there several times. Unfortunately, that didn't make a good impression on us at all. Food: Frozen and over-salted potatoes I would give the food 6/10 points. Unfortunately, the regular guest acted out to younger people because they were sitting at her regular table. There was a big tare, and unfortunately the restaurant didn't care. I would recommend it for bar goers. Nice shop but the service really needs to be worked on.

Great service, good food, uncomfortable

Good German home cooking without any frills. Fish, meat and vegetarian on the menu. Plus Herforder Pils and Früh Kölsch. Perfect. Friendly staff and attentive service. Prices really good. Payment possible by card. The ambience has probably remained unchanged for decades. Some outdoor seating. It's good that something like this still exists. Location in the pedestrian zone.

Sometimes more beautiful than you think... the sun was there and everyone was very friendly... However, the rail connections to the surrounding area can be expanded...

A real traditional restaurant, with both a busy bar and good food at the table in the hall.

Drank before football Bielefeld vs MSV 🍺, met really nice people

It was a nice experience to be there.👍

great location First-class, fast service even when it's busy

Small, cozy and rustic restaurant with home-style cuisine. Good service, nice service, delicious food. What more do you want?

Very cozy room with traditional German cuisine. Delicious. Thank you!
