Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom in Köln

Small menu consisting mainly of pork dishes. The food was delicious, the Schnitzel with Hunter's sauce and roast pork with potato dumplings are standouts for me. Efficient but friendly staff. I enjoyed the bustling energy of the restaurant.

Great beer, lovely atmosphere, always come here when on holiday in Koln, never disappoints.

Delicious food and drinks in a great atmosphere! Super friendly service, top!

Nowadays they no longer have tasty schnitzels, and they no longer serve salad with them either. noisy because it is also a 😉🍺 brewery, but it has a nice atmosphere. Staff and service depend greatly on how busy it is. When it's busy, the staff can sometimes be stressed and clumsy, but usually friendly. You have to be willing to do something about the hustle and bustle. We have been eating here often since 2016, 5 stars for the delicious food back then. Nowadays the quality is a lot less unfortunately. You can hardly find an empty table, not anymore because it is (was) so good, but because of the name. Schnitzels with fat in the edges, you no longer get tasty fried potatoes with bacon and onion like years ago. You no longer get salad as standard as before, so that's a shame. Things haven't gotten any better, just more commercial. *We think Früh in Neuss is the best location, as it once was in Cologne. *In Cologne: Peters brauhaus Under the Cathedral/museen there is a nice large, clean and well-lit parking garage (Contripark tiefgarage), where you can park cheaply (pin and cash), there are women's and family parking spaces in a good location, you arrive directly at the entrance. from the cathedral on the square (a short distance from Brauhaus Fruh), and the shopping mecca of Cologne. 😍

Great brewery. Delicious food, delicious beer. Super friendly service. Gladly again. 👍🏻

You can get no stop beer till is enough! Great beer and great food! I highly recommend it!

Everything is very cool. Food, service and atmosphere were very good. I ate there with a friend. He had the homemade cheese spaetzle, which was very tasty. I had the pork ribs with fried potatoes which you can only order on Wednesdays (meat extremely timely 10/10)😤🔥 Recommended

Food was very tasty. Getting a table spontaneously wasn't a problem either. Unfortunately, our waiter was so unfriendly and probably wasn't in a good mood at his job. Too bad...

Nice place to have a drink! Dishes were good and lager was 0.2 l for 2.40, drinks well. Many rooms that are all full on Sundays, nice and busy!

It's always nice to spend a few nice hours here and then eat and drink well and have pleasant conversations with other people.

One of the best breweries in Cologne. Friendly, fast, tasty and highly recommended.

Absolutely unfriendly staff. Even when there is a lot to do, you can be friendly. Went again. Never again. Zero stars!

Incredible food, pleasant, welcoming and very helpful staff and beautifully decorated Christmas trees❣️ Don't forget to skip the walk to the underground cellars! 10/10!!

A palace of beer and blood sausage. Friendly and efficient staff, good food and a nice atmosphere.

Huge place, very popular, my potato soup was delicious.

If you want an amazing authentic German meal and in my opinion one of the smoothest beers, this is absolutely a must go destination when in Cologne. I've never had better sauerkraut in my life either. All the food was amazing and ambiance is spot on. I hope to be back someday!

Prima, aanrader, leuk om daar te zijn, niet te lang, want dan wordt het wat kostbaar.

We recently went to dinner at this brewery, because we had also been to the Hofbränhaus in Munich and we had liked the typical German atmosphere, but on this occasion, it was the worst experience we have had in all of Germany, due to the Köbes that served us, an arrogant and very unpleasant person, who made us feel very bad and wanted to finish soon so we could leave. When he brought the cards to the table we saw that he didn't feel like serving us, he didn't even look at us and he didn't even look at us. greeting. We chose our dishes by pointing to them on the menu, he placed the order ignoring us and without paying attention to us. When he brought us the ordered dishes, we saw that there was a mistake, since one of them was not the one we had indicated, we asked him if he could change it and he did not pay any attention to us, he made us understand that it was our fault and that There was no possible change, he left and left us with the word in our mouths. Bad luck caused us to drop a glass of beer and break it, another waiter kindly cleaned the table for us and told him to bring us another beer. To make matters worse, he charged us for the spilled beer on the bill. I attach the ticket where you can see the name of Köbes (Herr Rieck), the beers served and those charged. If you go to this establishment I wish you luck and not be touched by this waiter.

Very large, beautiful brewery with great beer, delicious food and good service. A morning Kölsch in the brewery should be part of every visit to Cologne.

Nice shop and the beer came quickly, but the knuckle was really not good. Now to the knuckle, it only consisted of fat, was NOT CRISPY and, like the fried potatoes, was only lukewarm. The reviews and photos looked better than the knuckle we had on our plate. The waiter said the food is usually better and he doesn't know what was going on that Friday.

It's unbelievable what's going on.

Here you can get the best and most traditional Kölsch beer in the city.

Sadly every time I come here it’s worse than the last. It does not bother them that this Koelsch isn’t even koelsch anymore but just some stale faded ghost of its former self.

The service at this restaurant was excellent and I could really feel Kobe's quick wit. Unfortunately, for me personally, the food was the worst meal I have ever had in Germany. However, I am sure that this was not because of this restaurant, but rather because I simply cannot accept the taste of non-alcoholic Kölsch and the Kölsch version of Sauerbraten. Just a matter of taste!

In a nice atmosphere you can drink a delicious Kölsch in peace and quiet.

The atmosphere was very nice. A traditional German restaurant. Even though we didn't know which door to enter, we were able to find a seat in the restaurant, which was divided into sections. We ate sinitzel and it was delicious.

Beautiful environment of this ancient restaurant excellent service excellent food to be recommended the goulash suppe and the schnitzel shame too much balsamic vinegar in the stew ok price

A typical brewery, delicious food and a few drinks.

Crowded but huge place for a casual beer with a schnitzel in the heart of Koln. We were lucky to find a table as some people were leaving as we walked in. Once settled, our friendly waiter took our food order and kept the beer coming. The pork schnitzel was better than the beef one we tried. Speed of service was okay but the staff were doing their best. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, but we had a fun experience and everyone around us seemed to have fun.

There was a standing pub to the left of the actual brewery early on. I can't judge whether they exist permanently or only for carnival. I noticed it for the first time this year. The service was carried out at the front of a pub with well over 100 guests by a single waiter. Another was behind the counter but wasn't serving. After the first round, the resupply ran smoothly, although not quite as quickly as usual. The atmosphere was absolutely unique.

Waiter Kebapcioglu horrible, unfriendly aggressive incredibly rude, shouted at me The customer was unbelievable that the food came wrong and cold. Worst place ever. Zero stars

We were very well received, the atmosphere was good.

The food is below average at best. At least we found a very correct waiter. Unfortunately it was far too warm in the restaurant and the air was miserable.

A very quaint authentic restaurant!! The food was great and our waiter Dirk S. from Swabia was the hottest!! Always my pleasure!!

Absolutely disappointing - never again! We were looking forward to a pleasant visit to the Brauhaus Früh, but unfortunately it was a disaster. We sat at the table for 20 minutes without anyone from the service team even bothering to serve us. Meanwhile, other tables right next to us were promptly served as if we were invisible! The service was not only slow, but simply non-existent. A brewery that has so much tradition should be ashamed of ignoring guests like that. You definitely won't see us here again.

Ate delicious Mettbrötchen and enjoyed Kölsch in a beautiful atmosphere - I'll be back

We held the warm-up there for our company Christmas party. The half rolls with sausage, meat or cheese that were served in advance were very good. The drinks came quickly. The main dishes were satisfactory in terms of quantity and quality. The dumplings when roasting pork are very small. You would have had to order red cabbage separately. A hint from the waiter would have been good here. I had the veal Wiener Schnitzel with fries. The schnitzel was "soggy" on the back. The breading is far from a Wiener Schnitzel as we know it. The emphasis here is on quantity rather than class. Many tourists probably only come once anyway. Service and ambience were appropriate for a brewery. Depending on the room, you should go to the toilet early. The building is a small labyrinth.

Last night we had dinner at the Brauhaus Früh am Dom. It is a very large restaurant with very good food at good prices. The service was very attentive and how else could it be a Ur Kölner. Even if it was very full, you could get your Kölsch quickly and didn't have to wait long to eat. The portions were good enough to fill you up. So I can only recommend it, you can also go spontaneously without making a reservation.

the ambiance was very welcoming. we ordered a dish for four, which included schweinshaxe, a boiled schweinshaxe, along with some german sausages, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, and sauerkraut. we also enjoyed a plate of schnitzel with sauce and some beer. it was a truly typical German dining experience. we loved the food and the beer!

Cool pub where we only drank beer. The service was really good and quick.

Wanko soba style beer hall. Rather than just tasting the beer, I think it's a place where you can enjoy the atmosphere of happy customers and the fast-paced beer distribution. It was after noon, but everyone was drunk lol The staff will check how many drinks you've had with a ballpoint pen on a coaster. You can also pay at the table.

Quaint brewery. With very good Kölsch and food

Cozy and rustic restaurant not far from the cathedral. Very tasty brewery food with top service.

Delicious Kölsch, Himmel & Äd, friendly service, what more could you want. 🙂

Food is average. I’ve had better in other places in Germany. We felt ripped off when the waiter give us the check already with a 10% tip adder on top of the pricy dishes, almost felt like we have no option. Do they do this to all tourist? If so, that’s wrong. I would not return here and would not recommend it. I am sure there are better places around and this is just touristy.

Very good experience. The place is huge and labyrinthine, with many rooms and nooks. There were a lot of people but there was still no problem finding a table. Früh beer, as it could not be otherwise, served in the typical tube glass. The food is nothing special, but acceptable.

Nice cozy place to drink a Kölsch beer and have a small bite to eat. Lots of small spaces instead of large ones.

I didn't eat anything. The waiter came to the table very late and made it clear to the guests that he didn't feel like working. The guests were then very angry (several tables). I found the ambience to be very spread out, so that one thought that there were several bars, but this was not the case. I will never visit again and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Very warm welcome, the flavors are super nice. The place is really atypical, you have the impression of being in another time 🙂 if you go to Cologne, I advise you to stop there 👍🏻

This Bräuhaus is epic. The service is friendly and the food does not disappoint. The Kölsch keeps coming until you put your beer mat but you never really want to do that. I found that they still ask you if you want another and there is no pressure to move on despite it being the location and tourist hot spot, it doesn’t feel fake. It has a huge hall for guests the drink and eat. Just don’t play cards in Cologne as they consider it to be gambling. Try the schnitzel and get the red cabbage. Enjoy.

Surprisingly good food for a touristy location. Service was great.

Coziness. ! Service, prices, everything was right

Very quaint brewery with good service. Unfortunately I can't rate the food, I was only there to drown in the defeat (1-0 against 1.FC Köln). Next door FRÜH fan shop.

Very good place to eat and drink. Regular price. A 200 ML pint or glass of beer for €2.5, but the taste is very good, since it is the house beer and it is fresh. Desserts are less than €10, I recommend ordering the strudel, meals are on average €15. Eye! They have a friendly bathroom! That is to say Even if you don't buy anything they let you go to the bathroom, in case you have the urge, it's at the back down the stairs, clean bathrooms. In the afternoons and evenings it gets busy so sometimes you'll have a hard time finding a table.

Aladin is very nice !!!! Everybody should come!!!

Location to get lost... but that's what makes it so exciting there. Food typically Kölsch and not touristy

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to point out that we do not describe ourselves as tourists. My grandparents come from Cologne and my uncle worked as a deacon there. Below I would like to present my points of criticism. First of all, it should be mentioned that the brewery is no longer recommended. The quality of the food was extremely poor, so we have rarely had such a negative experience. My wife and I ordered different dishes: I chose pork knuckle, my wife chose Jägerschnitzel. Every chip shop can do it better! The price-performance ratio was not acceptable, the food didn't taste good. The only positive aspect was the service provided by a friendly and courteous "Köbes" who apologized for the inconvenience at the brewery. Although we do not intend to do this, we would like to share our experiences as they may be of use to others. We discovered that the brewery was a complete tourist rip-off. It can be seen that by eliminating the salad from the schnitzel, a reduction in costs can be achieved. A reduction in sauce consumption is also conceivable. The ambience of the establishment can be assessed as inferior. The smell of the toilets in the basement suggests inadequate maintenance. (station toilet) The presentation of images is not necessary at this point.

Plus a 20 minute wait for the beer But food was great. 2 years later unchanged

This roasted pork knuckle is very good. There is no boiled one. The beef stew is also very good. The side dish is potatoes, not sauerkraut.

I would have eaten the fried eggs with fried potatoes warm too

Hey, Köbes... when I see how you unkindly (!) push Asians who are ignorant of customs around the area, the average sauerbraten comes back to me. In addition, I sometimes had to draw attention to myself loudly if I wanted a new Kölsch. Because "until the lid is on the glass, there will be new Kölsch quickly"! Very disappointing

It was very tasty and very atmospheric.

Typical good brewery Delicious beer. Delicious food

A really nice big "beer room" near the Cologne Cathedral. The atmosphere is happy. When you sit down at the table, you are immediately brought a kölschner (beer) in a 2 dl glass, which is made in Cologne. The waiter has a circular set with several filled beer glasses from which they serve them to the customers. If you don't want more beer, put the coaster tag on top of the glass, otherwise you will get a new glass of beer. It's worth watching how beer glasses are filled directly from the beer keg.

Brewery based on the Bavarian model. Quite nice.

The service was great and very friendly. You get your food and drink very quickly and I felt really comfortable. However, there is a very unpleasant smell in the toilets. But they are clean. Would go there again!

Very cool, cozy location. Food is good, portions are sufficient, prices for restaurants are okay.

Very Nice German food and amazing place

I have known the brewery for more than 20 years. The glasses of Kölsch were never full, which is considered a “trademark” there, so to speak. Visited there last night, a Kölsch now costs 2.40 euros and is filled with a maximum of 160 ml instead of 200 ml. So the price is at a high, the Kölsch level is at its lowest.

Very tasty beer but the staff is bottom drawer

After 3 hours of service, our Köbes was full like 10 howitzers and only managed to finish the bill with a lot of questions. Food was ok for brewery. But like in Munich, it's more of a pure tourism scam.

It's a shame, that's not the Brauhaus Früh that I remember. The Köbes is moderately friendly (ok, you can live with that), but what were you thinking when you changed the furnishings to "vintage"? The beautiful tables and benches now “shine” scratched, damaged and ugly. Or should that not be the intention at all and the facility is simply “run down”? The crowning finale was a mouse whizzing through the dining room. We didn't want to eat anyway 😞 Early at the cathedral? Unfortunately no thanks!

Very authentic German atmosphere. The food was okay, not as good as we’d had at other restaurants. The apple strudel was the best thing we had. I would recommend that!

Brewery with cuisine linked to the name of the Cologne Früh beer. The selection of dishes is not huge, but certainly characteristic and well prepared. The "all inclusive" meat & sauerkraut dish is very good, crazy cheese spatzle. Last but not least, the good house beer is served in 0.2L glasses which make it very easy to lose count. Worth visiting even just for the location, a stone's throw from the Duomo.

I went there today and my experience was as follows: I had a few kölschs and they were really good. Compared to other breweries it was slightly more expensive, probably due to the touristic location. The food was ok, but wouldn’t come here to eat particularly. To finalize the experience I saw a small rat running through the saloon. Good luck, but I won’t come back.

Pork knuckle with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes is simply delicious.

Good brewery with hearty food and delicious Kölsch. The Köbbes brings the beer quite quickly and always has a good saying

Some of the staff were really unfriendly. But the food (sauerbraten) was an imposition, really bad. When I was asked if it was tasty, I said no, but the cellar wasn't interested at all. It's a shame, things used to be different here

Short waiting times, friendly service - Kölsch is great, the food is delicious

Food was delicious, anyone who knows the brewery knows what it tastes like😁 But the portions feel like they're getting smaller and smaller🫠

Quick, uncomplicated and the food was good too

We had very good german schnitzel. Good place for a quick and cheap bite.

Great rustic location with delicious food. What you should know is that every empty glass is replaced with a new Kölsch. (Without asking). Always space unless you come with more than 4 people, then you should reserve so that you can sit together.

Yes, it was okay so far. It also happened very quickly for the large number of guests. Our Köbes was an original and also nice, but probably a bit spoiled that day. Forgot to bring food so it was a bit cold. But it just worked. Taste was good.

nice atmosphere, friendly waiter who is also fun and up for it and wonderful food.

I ordered pork knuckle and beer, the beer was brought immediately, I waited 40 minutes for the pork knuckle and when I called the waiter it turned out he hadn't placed my order. Very uncomfortable

The food was just ok. Unfortunately the waiters were very unfriendly and impatient. So no recommendation

We didn’t even get to eat there. We were a group of 12 people went for dinner during orgatec , we were told there’s no more table available inside , which is very understandable as we didn’t book and it’s a busy week due to the exhibition. We then asked a waiter if it’s ok to sit outside (even thought it was cold ) the waiter told us we could sit anywhere outside which is free . We then went outside and try to put two small table close to each other to fit the group , a Spanish speaking waiter ( older man wearing glasses ) suddenly started shouting at us and even came to the area ( where to were trying to put table closer ) and drag out one chair and slammed it down to express his extrem anger ( yes , that’s right , the level of anger seemed unreal at that moment as if we had personal dispute with him ) and then our Spanish colleague told us he was swearing at us very disrespectfully and of course we walked away . This is very shocking and disappointing experience as we came to orgatec previously and the restaurant has always been quite pleasant experience.

A Köbes who was up for all the fun. He even served an extra fried egg with the Flöns. The guest from Vienna ordered it just for fun. Great service and the ambience is beautiful. Yesterday we were there again. Everything was fine again.

The best Kölsch beer we drank in Cologne was here. Although finding a place is a bit chaotic, the food is delicious

Simply a large brewery where you can not only drink Kölsch but also eat well...

Always a pleasure, Kölsche Brauhaus tradition, good food... good Kölsch, what more could you want 🤤

We went early today and had a delicious meal. The Kölsch was always refilled (if you didn't want any, that was of course accepted). The ambience - typical brewery. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Cologne.

Une excellente expérience dans cette auberge ! Le service est impeccable : le serveur, souriant et compréhensif, a fait l’effort de parler en anglais pour faciliter notre commande, et un autre membre de l’équipe est même venu discuter de football avec nous, ajoutant une touche chaleureuse à l’ambiance. La nourriture est simple, typique et savoureuse, parfaitement en accord avec le décor, qui est à la fois authentique et accueillant. Une adresse conviviale où l’on se sent vraiment bien ! Merci Ali

The food was old and absolutely terrible. Salad dressing only tasted of ascorbic acid. Immediately after eating I felt sick for hours

The food was very bad, lukewarm and looked a bit old.

Classic Tourie mockery but what can you do?

Wir waren 6 Personen und haben gleichzeitig Essen bestellt. Tatsächlich kamen dann aber nur 4 Essen ! 2 Essen wurden Tatsächlich vergessen. Ein absolutes No Go. Einfach Katastrophe.

Good food, good beer, but we were greeted by a rude, aggressive waiter of about 60 who didn't understand English or German well. We waited at the entrance for 15 minutes. Time is not a problem. The problem is that they spoke to us rudely. I was with the Germans. I wanted to go to another restaurant, but my friends were waiting inside. I recommend another beer restaurant.. / Good food, good beer, but we were greeted by a rude, aggressive waiter of about 60 years old, who did not understand English or German well.
