Brauhaus Rietkötter in Bochum

A restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. My companion's dry age burger was apparently tasty and my venison was a bit tough, but the spaetzle and red cabbage with it was pretty good. The bread before the meal with a mild mustard sauce was also very tasty. I had to reorder the house draft beer because I really liked it, and it also went very well with the food. The interior of the brewery is quite nice. It was a bit noisy because there was a large group there when we visited. Overall, this restaurant is recommended, especially for a group, because you can find something for everyone :)

Really good place, with a pleasant atmosphere, I recommend to try it! Tasty beer 🍻

Rustic inn with good, home-style German cuisine. For example, there are schnitzels, cheese spaetzle, pork medallions, but also house-pickled salmon. I had the brewer's plate and was very satisfied. There is also a season ticket. We were there in November and there was, for example, an additional wild card.

Good food with friendly service and good Fiege Pils 🍺

A really great restaurant in the heart of Bochum. The food tastes great, the portions are good and the service is great. We really liked it here - we would love to come back.

We arrived at around 7 p.m. without a reservation and were warmly welcomed despite the "hut" being full. The food was delicious, the service was great. Everyone relaxed and very careful. We would come again.

Teamarbeit par excellence! Motivierte Bedienung, sehr aufmerksam und freundlich verschönern den Aufenthalt sehr. Das Essen ist sehr gut zubereitet, sehr reichlich und gut serviert.

Quaint restaurant, the service was good, the food came very quickly, contrary to many other users. However, the bill does not match the price on the card. The “shortfall” was reimbursed.

Simply super tasty and recommended.

Very nice atmosphere. Brauhaus feeling in the middle of Bochum. Nice and child-friendly staff. A solution was quickly found for all of our children's special curls. Tasting board of Fiege beers is recommended.

We got a table for two hours on Saturday evening without a reservation. Great service and delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Four of us went here for dinner. The service was super friendly, careful and relaxed. There is a rustic facility with a unique character! A brewery in a small, family atmosphere. Very pleasant! The food was very tasty, the portions were really big and the prices were reasonable! We would like to come here more often, but unfortunately it's too far from Berlin, which is a shame!

Quaint brewery with a great menu. In addition to the “classics,” there are also vegan and vegetarian options. So everyone can find something for themselves. Ambiance is not exceptional but good.

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, good food. Very loud

Sociable brewery with great service. Portions sufficient and tasty.

The restaurant was very busy and the background noise was correspondingly high. The food came very quickly and the pork tenderloin was very tough. I would have gotten a new one, but I didn't want it. Had the spent grains plate. Not again.

Everything excellent. Old-established gastronomy in Bochum. Large and tasty portions when eating. I'd love to come back

Great fun! Had vegan options, which was helpful to me.

The vegetarian meal that I received yesterday still has a lot of room for improvement; it was not fresh enough, seasoned and prepared - I should have sent it back, but I was hungry and didn't have much time...

Delicious food, friendly service

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food, I'll go there again.

Big portions, everyone gets enough here, so the price-performance ratio is also reasonable. Excellent food. Service nice and friendly and quick. You should make a reservation as it is also busy during the week.

It would be great if a brewery had its own beer. Otherwise everything is great!

We go to Brauhaus Rietkötter about once or twice a year, but I don't think I've ever written a review. Yesterday we were there again and very satisfied. I would particularly like to praise the fact that the selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu has increased significantly since my last visit! I had a jackfruit goulash that was really great - and so much that I was able to take a small portion with me. 3 types of fiege on tap are of course also great. The service ladies are always quick and friendly. Thank you very much! :-)

We had dinner there with 4 people. Meat, vegetarian and mushroom dishes. Everything was very tasty and beautifully prepared. Plus friendly and cheerful service in a rustic atmosphere. Gladly again!

The food is very tasty and the service is very good.

Very quaint restaurant. Fast and nice service…keep it up

Great staff, very attentive. I hope the operators appreciate this and show it too. Food was delicious. All in all, a great evening in a nice atmosphere.

The service is totally friendly and forward-looking! Huge portions for a more than reasonable price. Everything very fresh and delicious. How could I have missed this until now???

The food was ok. Not outstanding. The staff was great. Unfortunately, due to a larger group, it was louder than average.

Cozy evening in the brewery A really nice atmosphere, rustic with real wooden tables, a friendly warm welcome, a clear menu, many types of delicious Fiege 🍺 mainly on tap, food prepared with love, the quantity was more than enough, we were there as a family and everyone had different dishes , or desserts, unanimously enthusiastic, Top outdoor area under a large 🌳 Price performance very good, risk of repetition 😋

Nice, capable staff, good quality food for every diet and taste! Highly recommended!

Was very rich and tasty! Top service staff 👍🏻

The food was really good. Schnitzel with fried potatoes, mushrooms and pepper sauce... Enough and still tasty. The side salad was a positive surprise, both the sauce was delicious and the different salads were fresh and good! Friendly service without being intrusive... All in all a successful evening outside on the warm summer night! Still pleasant even now in autumn

We visited the restaurant with four people and enjoyed the good service and the very good food. Highly recommended.

Very nice place for social dining

The food was lukewarm and the ingredients were not of good quality.

Had the schnitzel with fried potatoes. Everything was soggy from the sauce. But sauce for fried potatoes??? I don't know that. Taste wasn't that great. The salad with it was tasty. The service was very friendly.

Great location with delicious food, friendly staff and good drinks.

Unfortunately, the food was just good but nothing special, some dishes you can easily cook yourself at home. The service was overwhelmed, orders are still taken on paper. Too bad. The prices, especially for the vegetarian dishes, are also rather too expensive.

I love places like this... Quaint, cozy, with a very special charm... If you're looking for bells and whistles and modern frills here, you'll find them elsewhere and look in vain here. But that's exactly what gives you that feeling of well-being from times past when everything was good and you were happy to go out...🥹🥰❤️ Come here, have a good time with a local Fiege Bernstein (or something like that) and forget about time and your smartphones again... 🤗

The schnitzel was inedible, seemed to be made up of different pieces of meat and tasted very “strange”. I had to let it go back. The reaction to my complaint was outrageous. It was incomprehensible to the staff that I was dissatisfied, and the lady in charge tried to play the guests I was there with against me: “But you were satisfied, weren't you?” And to me: “See? The others were happy too.” This means that you have to be satisfied with what you are given and pay. Good food cannot be taken for granted and criticism from customers is unwelcome.

Das Schnitzel war ungenießbar, schien aus verschiedenen Fleischstücken zusammengesetzt und schmeckte sehr „merkwürdig“. Ich musste es zurück gehen lassen. Eine Unverschämtheit war die Reaktion auf meine Beschwerde. Es war dem Personal unverständlich, dass ich unzufrieden war, und die zuständige Dame versuchte, die Gäste, mit denen ich dort war, gegen mich auszuspielen: „Aber Sie waren doch zufrieden, oder?“ Und zu mir: „Sehen Sie? Die anderen waren doch auch zufrieden“. Heißt, hier muss man mit dem zufrieden sein, was man vorgesetzt bekommt und bezahlen. Gutes Essen ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit und Kritik vom Kunden unerwünscht.

Chosen based on the good reviews! But if out of 11 people, 9 people criticize, then you can say Failed!! Food cold, meat tough, fried potatoes not good... It's a shame, service and ambience were perfect.

Everything tasted very good, unfortunately the crust on the knuckle wasn't on top but was soggy from the red cabbage... What a shame...

Amazing staff member who recommended us some drinks and also sold the food very well. Nice clean establishment with a welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend with big or small group

Delicious food, super friendly service, fast cuisine. Prices have risen considerably. Very pleasant atmosphere. It has become too expensive for a pub.

Really nice restaurant- nice seating outside, kid friendly and portion were extremely generous. We sat outside we our daughter and it was really lovely. Nice service as well

Great brewery in Bochum city center, rustic, cheap and cozy.

Great outdoor terrace (a little crooked, but a great, pleasant corner), the entire staff was VERY attentive and accommodating. I was impressed by the clock-like atmosphere inside and the fantastic food. My conclusion: price/performance = top

Attention, if you don't want to be insulted, you shouldn't go here! We had a really unpleasant experience at our family celebration last Sunday evening. The older waitress with a Polish accent completely freaked out when I complained about my Aperol Spritz. The drink arrived in a dirty glass with lipstick stains. Even though another very nice waitress apologized for it, the older waitress just continued to argue wildly and didn't see anything. Her aggressive nature totally destroyed our mood! We've been there several times, but we definitely won't come back! I will write to management again, I have never experienced anything like this! Absolutely not recommended, how can you let a waitress like that loose on the guests? (I left the restaurant immediately; I could no longer touch the food that had been brought to the table shortly before because I was no longer hungry.)

We always have our Christmas parties here with friends. Great shop and good food for an average price!

Food is always a matter of taste. Neither of us liked it that much, but it was generally ok. Prices quite high. Ambience was nice.

Beautiful place - all senses are addressed!! Great, unique location, delicious beers. Stopped in for a beer on the way to the planetarium! 10/10!! 👍🏻👌🏻

A beautiful old restaurant in the heart of Bochum. The schnitzels are freshly pounded, fried potatoes are freshly fried in butter with onions and bacon. The mushroom cream sauce is also fresh and delicious. Pilsken with it….done!🙏🫶

It offers what you expect. You get a lot of meat and beer-heavy food. The portions are large and many are flavored with different types of beer. There is even a small selection of vegetarian dishes, but almost all of them contain mushrooms. In general there is (only) a small selection of dishes on offer. Unfortunately, on the first visit the employees were very unfriendly and did not contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. On the second visit the employees were very nice.

Always great. When we are in Bochum, the brewery is a must!🫶 Very good cuisine and a local beer, everything sitting outside under the tree or in the rustic interior, very friendly service - TOP! 🍻🥗🍗❤️

Very cozy. Very tasty food and great service.

The food is very good, especially very large portions. The service could be better, we had to wait a long time for our drinks.

Nachdem wir bei Mutter Wittig nicht mehr bedient wurden sind wir hier gelandet. Hier wurden wir nicht nur freundlich empfangen, sondern es gab auch noch etwas zu essen, auch noch wesentlich später. Die speisen waren sehr lecker und mehr als ausreichend. Das Bier muss man nicht besonders erwähnen, es spricht für sich Es gibt Fiege in großer Auswahl und ausreichend

bel locale con spazio all'aperto a 2 passi dal centro, offre cucina tipica tedesca, buoni piatti di carne, abbondanti con bel contorno, prezzo congruent

We looked for a restaurant with home-style German cuisine and a good rating on Google and decided on Brauhaus Rietkötter. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The rustic ambience should be mentioned positively. The service staff were also friendly, quick and tried to apologize for the subsequent inconvenience. We ordered “Bochum Bierhaxe” and “Schnitzel” twice. The knuckle was baked crispy, a little dry, but ok. The red cabbage served with it was very successful and tasty. The beer mustard sauce is a matter of taste. It's probably based on a cheap ready-made sauce, refined with beer and mustard. Not my thing at all, these industrially produced sauces with the long list of additives. Fried potatoes were also served. These didn't deserve their name. The fact that ready-cut potato slices from wholesalers are used today is no longer unusual given the current shortage of skilled workers. The potato slices served here had a completely uniform golden yellow color and a slightly rough surface, with a very firm consistency. I am of the opinion that they were made in the deep fryer, but the waitress denied this. She kindly invited me into the kitchen to show me how to prepare it, but I politely declined. If you crushed a potato slice with a fork using a knife, the surface of the slice separated from the inside like a skin, strange behavior for a fried potato. The taste is bland without the typical taste of roasted aromas. The schnitzel was handmade, well prepared and tasty. Unfortunately, the sauce was the same disaster here too, just without any attempt at refinement. Fried potatoes like the knuckle. The schnitzel dish also came with a fresh mixed salad. If you eat it all the way to the bottom of the bowl, you will be rewarded with a dead, green, iridescent beetle in the shape of a Colorado potato beetle that is a little too big. We had enough, we were full. It's a shame we didn't expect that. A beetle like this can still be excused as an oversight. For me, the other points of criticism are technical errors that are unacceptable in a good restaurant.

Very nice service. The young woman was very friendly and accommodating. She took care of us even though it was very busy. Top. Thanks to Desiree.

Great restaurant, with delicious food.

Wonderful Bochum original with a small garden. The food was delicious and the service was quick and very friendly. Gladly again.

Traditional German food, friendly staff, stops serving food at 9pm.

Nice rustic brewery. Very friendly and attentive staff. Plus, rich, tasty and freshly prepared portions at reasonable prices.

Great brewery with friendly staff and a large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. We come here often and regularly :)

Love this place, great food, great beer and lovely hosts!

We were spontaneously in Bochum and discovered this cute brewery by chance. I haven't had such good German cuisine in a long time. Highly recommended!

Super delicious food! The vegan dishes are also delicious! 👍🏻

Service etwas chaotisch. Leckeres Fiege Bier und gute Brauhausküche bescherten einen schönen Nachmittag im Aussenbereich unter einem riesigen Baum.

Quaint brewery in the middle of downtown Bochum with a small beer garden in front of the restaurant. The food tastes delicious and the portions are generous, and a freshly tapped beer goes well with it. The staff is very friendly, quick and attentive.

Food great Tattooed service great Keep it up!

The food was delicious, there were a few tables outside, the waitress was alone when we visited and also had to pour and prepare the drinks

Down-to-earth food, but also unusual. Good beer!

We really liked it in the brewery. The staff was great and the food was very tasty. Added to this is the ambience in a listed building. Very suitable for a brewery.

Rustic, cozy inn where you are warmly welcomed and immediately feel at home. The food is super tasty and you can simply taste the fresh preparation. Can just be recommended.

Rustic atmosphere, hearty but definitely delicious food and a good selection of drinks and especially beers. People like to go here. However, it can get a bit fuller and louder...

Very tasty food and large portions. You will definitely get full here. The service is very friendly.

Excellent food, huge portions at good prices. The service is a little lame (letting you sit for a long time without a drink)…. Excellent atmosphere.

I just drank beer. And that was delicious.

Today I was at Rietkötter Essen. I have to say the food should be warm. The comfort level is ok. The staff was very attentive and friendly. But the food wasn't that good. You have to ask yourself whether you should go there. I won't go there anymore

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food and good beer. You feel comfortable here! In addition to meat and fish dishes, many vegetarian and vegan alternatives are also offered.

Überwiegend Raucher im Biergarten, über eine Stunde gewartet, Personal unfreundlich, Burgersemmel verbrannt, Fleisch zäh.

A stylish pub with a great atmosphere. Very good beer and excellent food, huge portions 🙂👍

The location is really great. The food was very good, unfortunately the service didn't work so well, we had to wait a long time for drinks and a meal was forgotten, but they were all super nice

Reservations are recommended for later in the day. I had liver cheese with fried potatoes and salad. I enjoyed it. Typical interior of a brewery. The beer garden in the front yard looks cute because it's quite small, but it can't be helped because of the adjacent street. Card payment is possible here.

Delicious schnitzel, lumpy bruscetta, but the schnitzel made up for it. Nice service, outdated atmosphere but well maintained.

There were four of us here today and we had pre-ordered, which was a good thing. Ambience is a typical brewery. The selection was sufficient, there was also an asparagus menu. Portions very large and very tasty. The two girls from the service were just super nice and were very quick and kept calm despite the stress. The toilets are getting old. A renovation would be advisable, but it was clean.

Food with a fantastic flavor. Service was a little slow and slow, but nothing that ruined the atmosphere. I recommend.

We had lunch today. The food was very tasty and the service was very good.

Unfortunately I didn't receive my food. Upon request they wanted to deliver more. I declined because I was there with a group of about 25 people who had already finished their meal. I was kindly not charged for 2 “light ones”. However, the last person in the group had to pay for it. I had already left. Mistakes happen every now and then. Don't do anything...

Extremely tasty with friendly, uncomplicated service and normal prices

A really nice, rustic restaurant, also with a small outdoor area under an old chestnut tree, very nice menu. Food was great, everything was freshly prepared. The service was very quick, very nice and you just felt comfortable there.

For a first meal in Germany, it was hearty and consistent: the size of the plate is enormous! Welcome and discover 😉👍

Nice beer bar, only drank something, so we can't rate the food

We spontaneously got a table today, a Saturday evening. Outside under a huge chestnut tree. The service was quick and friendly. The food was great, the prices were reasonable. That's how it should be.

You wait more than two hours for your food and then it's still cold q

The stay was very pleasant. The food was good. The schnitzel was very tasty, but the fried potatoes with it didn't convince me, they were cut too thick and some were mushy. Next time we'll have fries, they were very tasty. But I still have one criticism: the portions were huge. There was also a fairly large salad. This was very good with a great dressing. Unfortunately, it has almost completely disappeared because a normal eater cannot manage the amount. Unfortunately, food is simply thrown in the trash. Other tables apparently had the same problem. You should think about it for a moment.
