Brauhaus Rietkötter in Bochum

A great spot for a nice lunch and a beer

A very nice restaurant. The menu is varied and also suitable for vegetarians and vegans with a larger selection than usual. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Everything is totally justified in terms of price. I can only recommend it and would be happy to come back.

We were totally thrilled, good home cooking tasted really good

Very tasty food and good, relaxed service! Highly recommended! There is a small seating area outside, which is very comfortable, especially in summer. Inside it looks like an old brewery should look.

Very loud unfortunately because it was also full. Service great, beer ok 😎. Unfortunately, the food had been in the oven for a long time. The knuckle and the duck already had a lot of dry spots. It's a shame because it was otherwise delicious.

Very nice old restaurant, super friendly staff.

We had lunch here. A great restaurant with very, very friendly staff and the food was also great. It's worth stopping here!!!

We stopped in for a freshly tapped beer and had many types to choose from. Great atmosphere in the originally designed guest room. There is a small beer garden in front of the brewery. Very nice staff.

Anyone in Bochum should eat here! Really tasty, super nice service. Can absolutely recommend

I only had a quick pilsner there, but the menu read interesting and there was a vibe there

Brauhaus Rietkötter is definitely worth a visit. It has a large selection of drinks and a well-rounded menu. My schnitzel was only mediocre on my last visit.

Super tasty and a great price-performance ratio in a typical atmosphere with super friendly service. The beer knuckle is a clear must, but the DryAge burger and the salmon fillet were also simply delicious. The service is always a “woman” of the situation 😉, always a smile even with difficult people 👍🏻. In short, a great restaurant that we will definitely experience more often.

I didn't eat there, but they made a profit out of my desperate need to go to the toilet. After I asked really politely whether I could use the toilet, I was initially given a supposedly friendly yes, WITHOUT mentioning that it would cost €1. When I politely thanked them after using it, as I was really happy about it, I was then told AFTER using it, in a very rude manner, that this is not a given and that I should now please pay €1. They are making a profit out of someone's need. Nowhere did it say that using the toilet costs €1 for non-guests, and I'll say it again, the waiter didn't inform me of this beforehand either.

A good restaurant, the portions are decent and the taste was good too. Unfortunately, the prices of the dishes are also very high. A big disadvantage is the acoustics of the room, it was very loud (yes it was full), but conversations were only possible with a very raised voice and ears pricked up, which was quite tiring.

great atmosphere, super delicious food, great portions, great quality, everything very clean, great atmosphere. BUT an increasingly cheeky, unruly and increasingly slow service. You don't have to be that loud with your guests. You will recognize YOU.

Excellent food. Excellent beer and wine. Lovely spot for lunch whilst we were in town. Friendly staff. Definitely will go back on our next trip to Bochum!

Beautiful, rustic brewery. Very cozy, friendly staff. We'd already eaten elsewhere, so no review. However, the food at the next table looked very good.

Very nice team and very nice people in Bochum!

Very fast and friendly service. Good, home-style cuisine. Delicious. Can definitely be recommended

Great atmosphere, very busy even on a Monday. The food was excellent, including the vegetarian soy schnitzel, which was perfectly prepared and filling.

Great restaurant, great service, delicious food, very cozy furnishings, but you have to like a certain level of noise then you're in good hands there.

Beautiful, historic brewery with a cozy atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. The beer was fresh and delicious! The beer knuckle was really good, crispy and juicy, but the side dishes were pretty average. Overall, a recommendable place for a good beer and hearty cuisine.

1a top satisfied table for 2 people it was a successful and satisfactory day at Rietkötter

Very relaxed and friendly service.

Rustic and Pott-original ambience in the middle of Bochum. I've eaten different things several times during the business trip and so far it's always been very tasty. Very nice and fast service, if something wasn't right, the response was direct and without any modesty (the wrong beer was brought). Reservation required in advance, the price was completely acceptable! Thanks

Very nice inn, very friendly staff and very good food

2 super nice waitresses. Food also great. We all felt very comfortable.

Anyone who has no demands is in good hands. Very rustic furnishings.

Classic brewery with good prices and large portions. Service was very friendly

A piece of history. With delicious food and friendly service! Soothing in this city.

Good food, fresh beer, nice service in a nice atmosphere!

The Brauhaus Rietkötter in Bochum offers an authentic brewery experience that impresses with its rustic ambience and traditional cuisine. Of particular note was the pork knuckle, which was perfectly cooked: juicy, with crispy skin and just the right balance of fattiness and spice. The side dishes - crispy fried potatoes and juicy red cabbage - complemented the dish perfectly. The spicy sauce rounded off the taste and made the meal a real pleasure. The freshly tapped Fiege Pils was ideal as an accompaniment, its bitter character harmoniously rounding off the hearty flavors of the dishes. Overall, a culinary experience that impresses with both its quality and the harmonious atmosphere of the historic half-timbered house.

That was a great dinner in an authentic brewery inn! The two of us spontaneously stopped in and were very lucky to get a place without a reservation. We ate and drank really deliciously, the service ladies were great and had everything under control! Normal value for money with a good selection on the menu. Definitely recommended if you want a casual, delicious meal!

Everything was perfect...great beer, good food, nice service, great atmosphere. Clear recommendation.

Friendly service, very tasty food. We'll definitely be back.

My experience at this typical German restaurant was absolutely fantastic! The authentic atmosphere, combined with delicious food, made for an unforgettable evening. The steak was perfectly cooked and the beer selection was impressive. Compliments to the chef and the staff for the excellent service. Definitely worth 5 stars

Rustic atmosphere, very well attended. Eaten down-to-earth (schnitzel etc.) Definitely come back!

Food delicious, service top but really cold inside

Nice evening with good food. Very friendly service. Gladly again

Yesterday was the first but not last time in the brewery. Clear but sufficiently large menu (there is also something for vegetarians). It was very crowded (VfL had a home game...), but not overly loud. Therefore it is better to reserve. Service in a good mood and accommodating, portions appropriate, prices reasonable and the food delicious - the Fiege in all variations anyway ;-) Good luck!

Excellent food, really enjoyed it.

Very good food, but too much 👍🏻

I can only recommend this rustic, cozy restaurant in the heart of Bochum. The menu contains vegetarian, light and hearty dishes. There's not too much on the plate, just the right amount. The service was very friendly and competent. With a reservation we could stay as long as we wanted. Even without a reservation, guests were lucky to get seats. Reordering drinks worked smoothly because the waitress regularly visited the individual tables. The ambience of this restaurant matches the theme of the house from 1777. Lots of old wood with decorations under the ceiling, old lamps and old wooden tables and chairs. Everything just fits. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back.

You don't get that much for your money... small portions, big prices

A popular and lovely restaurant that we would love to come back to. The food (Bierhaxe and Kötterpfanne) were very tasty and the quantity was almost unbearable. The kitchen must be super organized and managed with experience. Great job! The four service staff were all extremely friendly, quick, well-coordinated and managed the full restaurant perfectly. We asked more than once if everything was OK and our drink orders never took a long time. Great dinner in an “original” restaurant without a fancy attitude.

Super delicious vegan dishes. The vegan cinnamon ice cream is to die for. The staff were very attentive and super nice!

Very cozy restaurant that has been tastefully modernized. The menu features the classics of home-style cooking, and the original Wiener Schnitzel is one of the really good ones. All of this in one of the very few historic houses in Bochum city center. Go!

Delicious food. Hardworking and friendly service. Not exactly cheap, but the quality was good

Our spontaneous stay nearby took us to the Rietkötter brewery at lunchtime. A rustic restaurant with the very pleasant charm of the past. You immediately feel at home here. The staff's welcome is friendly and open-minded. For starters we chose a Hokkaido pumpkin soup with apple chili topping. Unfortunately, the first visually very good impression was somewhat marred by the lukewarm temperature. In terms of taste, the soup is definitely recommended! For the main course we chose the spent grain platter and the malt duck. Unfortunately, the lukewarm temperature should also be mentioned here. There was still nothing to complain about in terms of taste. I recommend a thermal bridge or revising the order of food arrangement. The service leaves no room for criticism: friendly and accommodating I would like to mention one more point: The men's toilet has a leak. Here a rinsal finds its way from the toilet over the tile joints into the anteroom... and the supposed quote: for weeks... Urgent need for action!!

We were there for the first time. Our four plates were sparkling clean. Brauhaus style is our thing, we liked it. 🌻🌻🌻

The ability and passion in the kitchen and in the service area are excellent. Keep it up. Also accessible by wheelchair. The toilets are clean. Cozy atmosphere. German home cooking as well as vegetarian dishes are offered. I had the spent grains plate and the cheese spaetzle. I would love to visit again and look forward to more dishes.

After 20 years we were again at the Altes Brauhaus Rietkötter. We were pleasantly surprised. It is rustic and tastefully decorated. We came in and immediately felt at home. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very good and rich, we didn't manage to finish it all. The espresso and a Fiege brand completed the beautiful evening. We will definitely be back and this time not for another 20 years.

I was told this is the oldest pub in Bochum, so a piece of local culture. I didn't eat there, but what was carried past me looked good. I was surprised when I looked at the menu, I wouldn't have expected a 'Brauhaus' to have vegan food, but there is and it doesn't even consist exclusively of salad :D I'll eat there too at the next opportunity

Hello everyone. You have to go! Very, very good food 👍great nice service! Ambience is how I imagine the Ruhrpott 🫠I'll definitely be back. Blue and white greetings, a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year ❤️Sascha from Zell an der Mosel.

For me in Bochum it is always a place that I really enjoy visiting - service is GREAT 🍀🍀🍀

Food and service ok, the room is nice and rustic.

A good German restaurant whose history goes back a long way. I ate half a whole one with fried potatoes. The whole was a bit too crispy for me. Otherwise the food was quite good. The service was very nice and competent. The service has been very good. The ambience corresponds entirely to an old, good German restaurant.

A bit loud, but that may also be due to the time of year

Everything was great, we couldn't complain. When we are in Bochum again we will visit the restaurant.

Really good food. Really friendly service. Thank you for the successful evening

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...

I'd be happy to come back next time I'm in Bochum 😊

Very rustic brewery with friendly Ruhrpott staff ;-)

Very tasty, very friendly. A beautiful old half-timbered house.

I have been visiting the Rietkötter brewery for several years now and am always extremely satisfied! I usually come alone on weekends and it is very pleasant there even for a single person. The ladies in service are incredibly warm, quick and attentive! The food is always extremely sumptuous and delicious! The malt duck, roast goose (seasonal) and steak are particularly recommended. The price-performance ratio is extremely good!!!

Very traditional German food. The portions are big and great quality.

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.

Simply super tasty and recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Sociable brewery with great service. Portions sufficient and tasty.

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, good food. Very loud

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 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!

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! :-)

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
