Altes Brauhaus in Zwingenberg

This old brewery truly deserves 5/5 stars. The food is authentic German cuisine of the highest quality. The service is attentive and welcoming. The ambiance is rustic, very clean, and truly cozy! I'm absolutely convinced.

It was our first time eating there, and we'll definitely be back. The food, drinks, and service were all so excellent that you really feel valued as a guest. I had the Kochkäse schnitzel and loved it. The other dishes were absolutely delicious as well. That's how it should be.

The Alte Brauhaus in Zwingenberg is located directly on the main street, which is very convenient thanks to the available parking – no long searches, just arrive and enjoy. From the outside, the brewery immediately impresses with its pretty half-timbered facade, which perfectly matches the name and the cozy overall concept. Inside, you'll find a blend of rustic tradition and modern hospitality. A long-established inn that immediately feels inviting with its lovingly decorated interior and warm ambiance. We received a friendly welcome and were shown to our table. Despite the full house – there was hardly a seat available – the atmosphere was lively but not obtrusively loud. The service was attentive, prompt, and very friendly, and drinks and food were served promptly. The drinks menu is solid, but I would have preferred a bit more variety in the beer selection for a brewery. Grohe beers are predominantly on offer, which is a bit of a shame for lovers of regional or specialty beers. A small, rotating selection of light, dark, or seasonal beers would certainly be an advantage here. The menu itself is clearly structured: German classics, various schnitzel variations, a few salads, and soups. We opted for the schnitzel with dark gravy – perfectly breaded, tender, and very flavorful. The gravy was served separately, which is convenient if you prefer something a little drier or particularly juicy. The fried potatoes also went perfectly with it. The side salad was fresh, colorful, and beautifully presented – more visually modern than you would expect in a brewery. The flavor was solid, if the sauce was a bit one-dimensional – a bit more acidity or fresh herbs would have been helpful. To finish, we had a cappuccino, which rounded off the evening. Overall, it was a very pleasant visit with fair value in a harmonious ambiance. Conclusion A cozy restaurant steeped in tradition, with friendly service and honest German cuisine. Not a place for culinary experiments, but perfect if you're craving a good schnitzel, a cold beer, and a down-to-earth atmosphere. We'll definitely try out the beer garden in the summer—it'll surely round off the experience.

I'll start with the good. The food is delicious, the salad is really very good. What annoyed me most, and what, for me, constitutes the poor service and the rating: I ordered a non-alcoholic shandy – I was given a 0.3 liter glass, slightly less than half full with Sprite, and a 0.33 liter beer bottle – so I filled my Sprite glass with beer – of course, the beer bottle was still almost half full afterward. So I finished my shandy and politely asked if I could have a little more Sprite so I could mix the rest of the beer into a shandy (which I had ordered...). The answer: No, that's not possible here; you have to order a Sprite. The waitress was a young man; it wasn't his fault. A little later, the manager came and asked if everything was okay. I explained to her that I wasn't entirely happy with it—since I'd ordered a shandy, not half a shandy and half a beer—and since they'd given me a glass that was too small for my beer, I'd like a few more ml of Sprite so I could mix the rest myself. The manager told me she understood my problem, but she couldn't do it because there would be no Sprite behind the bar. I could have finished my drink and refilled the beer... Sorry, but I've rarely heard such nonsense. If you let the customer mix their own drink and then give them a glass that's too small, that's completely unacceptable and simply petty. It's a shame that you're driving customers away like that.

A very cozy atmosphere, the staff are friendly and very attentive. The food tastes good and the portions are generous. In short, we will be back.

Nice, cozy restaurant, good service, and everyone enjoyed the food. The steak I ordered was good, but I'm lactose intolerant, which I told the server. I asked them to please make sure there wasn't even any butter in it. Unfortunately, I discovered that butter was definitely used in the cooking. If you don't have any food intolerances, this restaurant is a great choice. Anyone else might have a problem despite informing the server.

I had the schnitzel with green sauce and a side salad. The side salad was very tasty and went above and beyond the standard with pickled radishes, radishes, and beets. The schnitzel, fried potatoes, and green sauce were also very tasty. Not too greasy or overly seasoned. The service was also very attentive and friendly. I do have one small criticism, though: I found the music selection of German Schlager a bit odd.

A cozy restaurant with plenty of charm in an old half-timbered house. I had a schnitzel with fried potatoes and a creamy mushroom sauce – everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had the meatloaf, which was also very tasty. The portions are large and the value for money is good. The service was friendly and attentive. We felt completely at home and would gladly return.

Good food, great beer garden. Friendly staff, nice manager. We'll be back!

Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere

Three of us were in the garden/courtyard on a Saturday evening and were graciously escorted to our reserved table. An older, a younger, and a younger server were all very attentive in taking the food and drinks and serving them. The various dishes—meatloaf, Wiener Schnitzel, and Schnitzel with Green Sauce, usually with fried potatoes—were all very good. The breaded schnitzel was fried in the traditional pan, the coating still light brown, and the thinly pounded schnitzel was beautifully tender. It was really well done. The fried potatoes could have been a bit crispier. They were relatively firm and already cut into quite different-sized, asymmetrical pieces, perfect for fried potatoes. Presumably, the potato variety was waxy, and the fried potatoes were a bit undercooked. The dessert from the daily menu, homemade plum crumble with good, presumably purchased, vanilla ice cream, tasted delicious. The drinks, Bergstrasse Riesling, Äppler, driver-friendly wheat beer, coffee, and water, tasted good and were served in matching glasses or in an Äppler-Bembel (a beer-style beer) on a tray, as they should be. The restaurant did a great job that day, both in the kitchen and service, in a rustic atmosphere and did a great job promoting itself.

The beer garden is a great place to sit, and we received quick and friendly service. The food was delicious too; my wife called it her best schnitzel ever 😄

Quite nice, but the prices are considerably higher than the standard, not to mention completely overpriced. €27 for a plate of pasta with seven chanterelle mushrooms and a tiny salad will make me steer clear of this place in the future. A shame, really.

A hidden gem as a spontaneous stopover on the way home. Just found it and immediately shared it. Today we traveled over 1000km from Italy (to the Netherlands) and wanted to refuel and eat nearby. We ended up at Altes Brauhaus. What a fantastic location! Because we popped in spontaneously, there was luckily still a table available (reservations are recommended!). We certainly made the most of it! We received a very warm welcome and were given a lovely table on the terrace. The staff provided excellent help and advice. The friendly people here are unique. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wanted to stay longer. Unfortunately, we still have 400km to go, so thankfully we were able to pay quickly. Of course, they gave us a little something extra. Plus this well-deserved review, because I highly recommend Altes Brauhaus! Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, the penne dish was completely overpriced. 18 euros (without a small side salad) for a very small portion. We found that outrageous! The schnitzel dishes were cheaper and the portions were larger. We complained briefly, but they could have at least given us a small espresso. It's a shame, another restaurant we don't go to. Spending so much money for a small portion of penne :-(

Everything is always great with you, there's nothing to complain about. We always enjoy coming to you.

It's always nice! The food is seasonal and sooooo delicious.

Very cozy inside and out, good, friendly service and good hearty food to go with a beer 🍺, the schnitzels were very tasty, super breaded.

I was fortunate enough to be a guest there a while ago. A great location, very friendly service, and very good, down-to-earth food at fair prices. You can tell that the owner and the chef de cuisine put their heart and passion into their work. I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the brewery in Zwingenberg.

Sat and ate in the covered beer garden. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch yesterday. Since it was raining a bit, we opted for an indoor seat, but the beer garden is highly recommended. A perfectly cooked schnitzel with green sauce fully met my expectations, and my wife was also thrilled with her handmade ravioli. A big plus: I left my smartphone on the table, and the waitress ran after us and brought it to my car. We'd be happy to go back :-)

Very nice restaurant with very good service, delicious food and a great atmosphere!

Very nice ambiance and excellent food. The staff is attentive and friendly, accommodating special requests without any complications. Everything is super clean. A great restaurant. We won't be returning there for the last time. Greetings from the Sauerland

Super. Unfortunately the espresso is a bit thin.

Delicious. Simple dishes but with the right taste.

This restaurant has a beautiful beer garden and the service, ambience and food were very good

Cozy atmosphere, nice crowd, pleasant service, delicious food, at slightly higher prices.

I'll keep it short. Great food, great location, super nice staff, and easy to get a table at short notice. We say thank you and would be happy to come back 👍

Definitely better to book in advance on the weekend. .

Went there for dinner with friends and we all enjoyed it very much. Service very nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very nice

Everything was just right in this restaurant that evening. Salad, braised beef and meatloaf were clearly above average. The staff attentive and friendly, the atmosphere pleasant. This is no longer a given today. So big praise!

Five of us and five times were very satisfied. The food was very tasty and even the side salad was obviously prepared and decorated with a lot of love (and that's how it tasted - delicious). And the two waitresses were super friendly and attentive. I would even give it 6 stars if I could. We would love to come back and also with the family.

Very good restaurant. Top food & great service. We'd love to come back.

Nice restaurant with good price-performance ratio. The service was nice as the food came very quickly.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Delicious schnitzels. The Schnitzel Champions is particularly highly recommended.

A very nice historic restaurant with a charming pub atmosphere. The dishes are fresh, skilful, classic with that special something, and the local wines are also well selected. All guests visibly felt comfortable. Thank you for the lovely evening

If you want really good food, come here. Schnitzels are excellent. Not a calf, but everything else, just as you would expect from an economy with aspiration. The salads are to die for. Everything except the lettuce is pickled. Simply clever and incredibly tasty.

Thank you very much for the unforgettable wedding celebration of our son and daughter-in-law Alex & Lena. Everything just fit. Keep it up👍 Gaby & Willi Schubert

We had reserved a table for August 7th, 2024 and were there for dinner with five people! We were greeted very nicely and sat in the courtyard in a cozy atmosphere. The food was super delicious, Very appetizingly prepared and served quickly. All in all definitely recommended! We'll be back!!!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding on August 3rd, 2024 in the old brewery. Many thanks to the Altes Brauhaus! The food was fantastic and so was the service. You fully responded to our wishes and needs. A special thank you also goes to the entire team and the chefs. Thank you very much 🫶☺️

The Altes Brauhaus in Zwingenberg made our wedding an unforgettable experience. As soon as we entered the location, we were impressed by the charming atmosphere that the historic building exudes. The interior of the brewery combines rustic cosiness with elegant accents, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Particularly worth mentioning is the beautiful beer garden, which also delighted our guests. The green oasis not only offers plenty of space, but also a wonderful backdrop that was perfect for our wedding photos. The old trees and the lovingly designed seating areas ensured a relaxed and happy outdoor celebration. The culinary offerings at the Altes Brauhaus were another highlight. The food was simply to die for! The dishes were not only visually appealing, but also tasted excellent. From the first bite to the last course, every dish was a delight. Our guests still rave about the quality and variety of the food. With their friendly and professional service, the Altes Brauhaus team made a significant contribution to ensuring that our big day ran smoothly. We were very impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to respond to our wishes and allowed us to enjoy the celebration to the fullest. In summary, we can warmly recommend the Altes Brauhaus in Zwingenberg. It is the perfect place for special occasions and we are grateful that we were able to celebrate our wedding there. The combination of beautiful ambience, outstanding food and excellent service made our day unforgettable.

Thank you for the great wedding of our daughter and son-in-law on August 3rd, 2024 Top food, service and individual attention to your wishes. Great.... can only be recommended... thank you very much.

Very good cuisine, very good service. Can only be recommended

Great restaurant, good service and I can only really speak to the special dinner they had around a Christmas time. They did offer Christmas goose as one of the options. Would recommend making reservation to ensure you don't have an issue with seating. The food is tasty!

We recommend. We had a delicious meal in the beer garden. The price/performance ratio is very good, the atmosphere is very appealing and the service ladies are very attentive and friendly. We'd love to come back!

Excellent pulled pork!!! TOP service. Enjoys it !

I love the outdoor patio area, with the real grapevine hanging from the ceiling. My spritzer was delicious, and the food was on point. The waitress was very accommodating and I felt very comfortable eating there with my daughter.

We visited here on my partner's birthday and spent a wonderful evening here. I had asked in advance whether the table could be prepared a little for the event and this was easily done by providing a subtle bouquet of roses, matching napkins, a bottle of water and two glasses of champagne. So the reception was perfect. The food was delicious & very beautiful to look at. The liqueurs and brandies/schnapps were also excellent. The service 10 out of 10, super friendly, attentive, the timing was always right and we felt very welcome. The toilets are very clean and equipped with towels. All in all a successful evening and absolutely recommended! Thank you very much and kind regards

Meget hyggelig gamle bryghus, der lige har fået nye indehaver, og må sige at det var god service og maden var super. En skøn kochkaseschnitzel, en stor tysk øl fra fad. Hvad mere har man brug for. En sted vi skal besøge igen, vil anbefale at man prøver, solid tysk kvalitet

Yesterday we spontaneously went to the brewery for a schnitzel. The food is delicious and I particularly liked the side salad. That's what I call variety. There was even yellow beetroot in the salad, which I have never eaten before. It immediately encouraged me to plant yellow beets in my garden :) Super delicious!! We were completely satisfied and would love to come back!

Food perfect and inexpensive. Service was very attentive and friendly. However, drinks are extremely inexpensive. 11.90€ for 0.2l red wine???

Nice restaurant with good food. The big advantage of these restaurants is that they are open all day on Sundays and public holidays. Our large salad was very good. The schnitzels also looked very good.

Good food and very nice service 👍

Very tasty food, would love to come back. Very friendly staff.

Sehr ansprechendes Restaurant mit viel Charme. Gutbürgerliches Essen zu fairen Preisen. Ausgesprochen freundliches, aufmerksames Personal. Vorteilhaft ist zweifellos die durchgehende Küche.

Yesterday I was with you for the first time and I can only say top service, taste and preparation of the dishes, great location, the preparation was a dream, it's a shame to eat (never experienced it like that) when you see the plate in front of you. 😌👍 And the owners are really friendly. I will definitely recommend you and visit you again 😎👍 PS: 5 stars are not enough 😄

Super nice and attentive staff. Very tasty food. I'm looking forward to the beer garden in the summer. We will definitely come back and recommend it.

Very tasty food, nice staff and good value for money

Finally the old brewery is under a great management! Everything is right here. Top recommendation!

Top food, very good service and a nice restaurant.

Good service, delicious drinks, good food and a cozy inn in an old yet modern form. Reasonable prices for really good, fresh and imaginative food. It's been a long time since I've eaten such a great side salad alone. Very tasty and creative. Not that the rest wasn't also very good 😄

Great service, delicious food and in a very nice atmosphere. What more could you want! Thanks

Great food, very friendly service, we will be back 🙂

Were here today for a long time. And I have to say the best schnitzel in a long time, plate warm, schnitzel perfectly breaded. The side salad was a poem, so many flavors come together, accompanied by a nice Grohe beer and, at the end, a liqueur. We'll definitely be back 😃

For this quality, top prices. Everything was very well maintained and clean.

We came here spontaneously for lunch and we really enjoyed it. We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable in the rustic (but not dusty) atmosphere. The food was very tasty and attractively prepared. The staff was friendly and competent. The price was also absolutely fair. Reservations are definitely useful, especially on weekends, as the restaurant is busy :)

Great food, very friendly team. Gladly again at any time.

Spontaneously had a craving for home-style food early on Sunday evening. We were there and very satisfied. The service ladies were very friendly, attentive and quick. The advice on portion sizes and drinks is also great. Now for food: My wife had the meatloaf with potato gratin - very tasty and with a great sauce. I had the schnitzel with mushrooms. This is how schnitzel works! Tender meat, the breading is nice and airy, it has bubbles! Also baked evenly - so it had a wonderful color. No deep fryer in use, but a chef who knows his craft. The sauce is a dream and the side salad is completely different than you know it - but great! The restaurant is now firmly anchored in our list. We will be back.

We love eating here - whether inside or outside it is very nice. Very good food and very nice staff. Particularly noteworthy are the sanitary facilities, which are beautifully done and ultra clean!

The food is always top notch. I ate the beef roll today.

Little meat, lots of side dishes... Very, very loud! Difficult to understand your neighbors.

Super gemütliches Restaurant mit sehr sehr angenehmer Atmosphäre. Man kommt herein und wird direkt sehr herzlich empfangen. Top Personal, sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Großes Lob an den Koch, daß Essen war fabelhaft, nicht nur geschmacklich, sondern auch, wie es angerichtet wurde. Komme die Woche auf jeden Fall noch mal wieder 🤗

Service ,Leistung und Qualität sehr gut 👍

Ist immer schön, wenn man gepflegt essen gehen möchte aber nicht weit fahren will. Service ist sehr zuvorkommend.

Tolles Lokal mit sehr leckerem Essen. Schönes Ambiente. Gute Parkmöglichkeiten wenn man Glück hat direkt gegenüber oder zumindest in direkter Nähe. Sehr freundliches Personal. Preis Leistung geht absolut in Ordnung.

Das Essen ist super lecker und modern. Wer deutsches Essen mag und das in eienr super Qualität und Geschmack ist hier richtig. Das Preis-Leistungens-Verhältins passt!!!

Wir waren gestern Abend zum ersten Mal im Alten Brauhaus .... und sicher nicht zum letzten Mal, wir kommen sehr sehr gerne wieder! Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr gemütliches Ambiente und erstklassiger Service! Hier versteht man sein Handwerk und spürt den Wunsch, dem Gast einen schönen Abend zu bereiten!

Einfach nur Klasse. Sehr zu empfehlen. Reservierung ist sehr sinnvoll!

Schönes uriges Gasthaus mit deutschem Essen. Schnitzel, Kochkäse etc. Das Interieur passt zum Namen, der Service war aufmerksam. Die Auswahl der Fleischgerichte groß, einige Salate, zwei warme vegetarische Essen. Gute Weinauswahl zu vernünftigen Preisen. Mein Kritikpunkt: Die Kartoffelklösschen (Gnocchi eigentlich) mit Spinat und etwas Frischkäse, sowie das Linsencurry waren mit 16/17 Euro sehr teuer im Gegensatz zu dem Kochkässchnitzel für 14 Euro. Die Essen waren gut, aber einfach in der Ausführung, Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis fand ich unangemessen, daher Abzug

Sehr schönes und gemütliches Restaurant. Super zuvorkommender Service, leckeres Essen zu fairen Preisen, keine langen Wartezeiten! Man kann z.B. von den Schnitzelvarianten, die sehr groß sind, auch nur eine kleine Portion bestellen (1 Schnitzel statt 2). Ein Muss ist der kleine Beilagensalat 😃. Der Biergarten im Hinterhof ist sehr, sehr schön zum draußen sitzen. Also wenn es das Wetter zulässt, raus setzen!

Top Preis Leistung. Service auch gut!

Ein sehr gemütliches Restaurant, auch der Garten ist toll. Zudem gibt es auch sehr freundliches Personal und das Essen ist top😍

Spontan angehalten und zu Mittag gegessen, begeistert gegangen. So läßt es sich zusammenfassen... die Küche und der Service waren gut und schnell, es hat sehr gut geschmeckt.

Werden wir weiterempfehlen. Essen sehr lecker u super freundliches u umsichtiges Personal. I

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit einem tollen Biergarten. Die Auswahl an Speisen ist nicht riesig, aber was sie haben, ist wirklich lecker. Das Personal war super nett.

Waren nach einer Wanderung mit Hund und sieben Personen ( hatten reserviert) dort in der Gartenwirtschaft eingelaufen. Wurden sofort nach Getränke abgefragt und danach auch gleich Essen aufgenommen. Die verschiedenen Vor- und Hauptspeisen waren alle super, auch die Bei- Salate waren mit Liebe und geschmackvoll zubereitet. Auch an den Hund wurde gedacht und eine Schüsselit Wasser gereicht - sehr aufmerksam vom Service Personal.

Super! Gerne wieder! War ein toller Tip von guten Freunden! Es war alles eine runde Sache und ein schöner Abend dank der Wohlfühlatmosphäre.

Volle 5 Sterne für dieses tolle Restaurant. Vorbehaltlos zu empfehlen. Super Service, Super Essen und Super Ambiente! Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis perfekt. für 2 Radler, 1 Apfelsaft, 1 Salat Pfifferlinge, 1x Kochkäse Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln und extra Portion Brartkartoffeln 50,40 € bezahlt für alles.

Der Biergarten lädt zum Verweilen ein essen war OK Rumpsteak war nicht medium

Sehr leckeres Essen, tolles Ambiente und erstklassiger Service! Wir waren rundum zufrieden & es gab absolut nichts auszusetzen. Ich kann das Restaurant somit absolut empfehlen!

Ein tolles Restaurant mit hervorragender, deutscher Küche. Der Service war ebenfalls 1a Im Biergarten sitzt man sehr gemütlich und ruhig, obwohl das Alte Brauhaus direkt an der Bundesstraße liegt. Ich kann das Alte Brauhaus nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Wir sassen in dem sehr schönen Biergarten hinter dem Haus. Obwohl der Hof komplett ummauert ist und alles gepflastert, hat man die Holz-Pergola (durchsichtige Plastikabdeckung, also auch bei Regen zum Draussen sitzen geeignet!) schön mit Wein begrünt. Es ist sehr gemütlich da draussen. Die meissten Tische sind für 4 Personen, man stellt aber auch bei Bedarf welche zusammen. Reservieren ist empfohlen, man kann sogar draussen reservieren, das stellt kein Problem dar. Wir hatten einmal den Brauhaussalat mit Ziegenkäse und das halbe Hähnchen mit Talern. Es gibt Grohe Bier. Der Service ist sehr nett und alle Arrangements waren kein Problem. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und die Qualität hat rund um gestimmt. Wir werden das Lokal empfehlen und auch wieder kommen!

Super freundlicher Service, leckeres Essen und dazu ein einladender Biergarten. Gerne wieder :-)

Sehr schöner Biergarten. Lecker Salat und Kochkäseschnitzel. Sehr freundlicher Service 🤗

Einfach lecker und gut...ungemütlich.

És un lloc preciós i les porcions són perfectes per fer un plat únic.

Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln. Sehr leckerer Beilagensalat und leckeres Schnitzel. Mein Freund hatte ein Rumsteak, dass perfekt gebraten war. Kommen gerne wieder! 😊

Schönes Gasthaus mit tollem Biergarten. Gutes, sehr schön angerichtetes und schmackhaftes Essen. Freundlicher aufmerksamer Service. Insgesamt empfehlenswert.

Essen und Bedienung war gut. Es hat alles gepasst 👍 komme gerne wieder.

Tolles Restaurant, perfekt nach einer langen Wanderung.
