Brauhaus zum goldenen Handwerk "Alte Papierfabrik" in Erkrath

Our company Christmas party with 280 people in the brewery was simply great! The service was extremely friendly and attentive, the food was excellent and the selection of drinks was perfect. Despite the large group, everything went smoothly and in great spirits. Many thanks to the team on site – we felt completely at home and would love to come back!

So the food was okay. It was tasty, but really nothing that would make you say “wow”. I don't think the establishment is intended for that, as breweries tend to have a cozy kitchen. Such home-style food. I found the atmosphere really nice! I really liked the industrial touch. Well... let's get to the unpleasant thing of the evening: the service. The waiter really rarely came to see us. We were there on a weekday evening and the store wasn't even that busy. Ordering took forever and after we were finished, no one came to clear away or perhaps ask for something to drink. I'm really a fan of giving a little tip anyway, because it's part of it. But he didn't accept my 1.90 on a 26.00 euro bill (that was generous considering the service was so bad) and stubbornly rejected it. He couldn't wish you a nice evening and stay nice after that. Keep this first and last visit personal. ☺️

Actually a very nice location. Unfortunately, at a Christmas party for 280 people, the half-drunk drinks were quickly cleared away, which looked very much like a rip-off, as it continued to take place after several people complained. The staff was generally very unfriendly. It's a shame for such an otherwise nice location. Ruins the overall impression.

Quaintly beautiful. Brauhaus meets industrial Lots of places outside and inside.

Super super cool atmosphere. You just have the feeling of coming home. The food was delicious and there was also something for vegetarians. The service was super friendly. We were there with our dog and baby. That's right, everyone, regardless of who they are with, is welcome here. Even with a dog and baby 😀 The boss even came and asked if everything was OK with the volume. Really super cool 😌 We would come here again and again because it just feels like home. Thank you very much 🫶🏼

Nice decor and good food at a decent price. The ambience is in modern industrial design, old factory or something similar. What is absolutely not possible is the parking situation. The nearby parking lot is packed during the day. Otherwise good.

The ambience is very nice because some of the old factory hall flair has been retained. The food was also very good. I would even give the service one more star because it was so attentive and super friendly 👍 We'd love to come back

The food was very tasty. The atmosphere in the restaurant is good but very noisy. The lack of a good coat rack is a loss.

Very nice and comfortably furnished brewery. The high ceilings and the furnishings have charm. The knuckle with sauerkraut and puree was unique and super tender. Would love to come back. It was very nice with you.

If you like a brewery with its flair, this is the place for you.

A successful brewery - gladly again ;)

All good, very rustic but cozy. Can be recommended

We didn't like it at all. Fries and burger buns were soft. The black pudding had lumps of fat as thick as white beans. The apple wasn't stewed, just warmed. The worst thing was the taste of the gravy. Due to the height of the room, it is cool and very loud, therefore uncomfortable. More room dividers would create more atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant with very tasty food

Large hall. Nicely furnished. The taste of the food is okay but nothing special.

Delicious food in beautiful surroundings

A very pleasant cozy location. Very good and excellent service, very tasty food. I can only recommend it with full conviction.

Delicious food at reasonable prices, good beers. Friendly service that was very attentive without being intrusive. The ambience is appealing, the atmosphere suits the brewery. We were there as a group of 15, felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

Chic restaurant where you can sit outside and inside. The kitchen is recommended!

The ambience is really great, everything else is far below average: We had knuckle and schnitzel, both out of the question, the knuckle was anything but crispy and not much to it, the schnitzel was dry. Really out of the question given the prices. The waiter was just listless.

Great food, nice people and great ambience!

A super nice atmosphere...I felt very comfortable

Great ambience, very nice service. Food not recommended: Salad is overwhelmed by the salad dressing, French fries are ok, knuckle better not.

Everything was very tasty and we would love to come back.

Ambiance was nice, food was good but unfortunately quite expensive, waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed even though it wasn't full and wasn't exactly attentive, after we had our food he didn't even come to the table and ask if we liked it or if we wanted something else Want to have a drink, not good service, so when we were finished we paid straight away and left, which is a shame because the atmosphere in the shop is actually quite nice.

Mega delicious food, easy to reach and great ambience, I'll definitely be back.

Brewery atmosphere with corresponding volume. Staff attentive. Food is convincing, but the pricing is excessive.

Again, very tasty food, good beer and very friendly service. A successful evening

Price/performance ratio is not right. The cuisine is mediocre. The ambience and location is great

The food was good, but the portions were way too big.

The service leaves a lot to be desired. Waited almost an hour for an order for the next one. The staff is semi friendly. We just wanted to drink.

I've been there a few times now and I've always enjoyed the food. Once I ordered currywurst and when I asked, I even found out that the boss made the sauce himself, which as a currywurst fan made me very happy :) Clear recommendation!

Everything you need: Food prices are quite high, the four of us wanted to get information on our first visit. The service was a disaster. Drink orders were constantly forgotten, when they arrived the foam was gone and the beer was already warmed up. You are also resistant to criticism and advice. We then went somewhere else to eat. A lot of appearance, little being. Not again.

Our food was visually well presented, valuable and very tasty. The service was very courteous and polite.

We didn't eat, but the food looked pretty good. The prices on the menu are very high and we had to wait a very long time for ordering and delivery for each round of drinks. Good parking and nice atmosphere.

There wasn't much going on that day. Tables were not wiped clean and service took its time. Food also came quickly after ordering. There was also a daily menu where 25% of the dish was no longer available. Price performance is a bit too expensive in my opinion. But I would eat there again.

Great food and great service. We will definitely come back.

Excellent Christmas dinner, there were 10 of us and everyone was thrilled. This time there are five of us - we'll be back, everything's great.

I would highly recommend it. We were here with a hiking group of 10 and we were all well served with food. My recommendation: pork knuckle pan, tasted great, lots of meat and good value for money!

The atmosphere is great, we sat outside in the beautiful weather. Unfortunately the waiter was overwhelmed, even though the beer garden was only moderately busy. His T-shirt looked very grubby, maybe it should be changed every now and then. The food was average. The beer was tasty, but there was only one for us because the waiter avoided our table.

With a few exceptions, the price/performance ratio is no longer right when it comes to food. The automatic door to the disabled toilet has not been repaired for at least a year. Furthermore, despite requests, access is almost always difficult because chairs or clothes racks get in the way. The bit of staff is very friendly and committed!

Great location, the beer garden also makes a nice impression. We were inside today and this industrial design atmosphere is really charming. It certainly wasn't there for the last time

Simply great food and great service. I'm looking forward to the next visit. And super delicious beer :)

No service at all, tables that haven't been wiped down, it's best to give them a wide berth

Successful evening! Classic modern cuisine, albeit meat-heavy. Nice ambience. The service was friendly and the guys were on their toes. Free parking nearby. Unfortunately it wasn't open outside, it wasn't that fresh. We'd love to come back, hope you have St. Martin's Goose in your program

100% satisfied! Very good food, super nice staff! Our service was first class! Mega ambience!💐 We felt very comfortable 🥳 We'll be back 💐

A very nice location, right on the Düssel, the food was delicious, the service was very friendly. An all-round successful evening.

Location great, I didn't like the food.

The Brauhaus zum goldenen Handwerk is great in terms of its interior and location. Unfortunately there is a lack of qualified staff (waitress) here and you are treated as if you were lucky to be dining there. Unfortunately, this spoils the experience so much that you think twice about going there again. Too bad

Super great dishes and also very nicely maintained and very friendly, good quality and staff. It's finally delicious to have old home cooking and also to enjoy. Simply great and also recommended. I have to go there again. It's always well attended. It's worth just stopping by and drinking a delicious beer and maybe eating something

It seems a bit expensive to me. The food and the ambience weren't that great.

The atmosphere is very nice, the food was good, the schnitzel and spare ribs were good and filling. The service is friendly but completely understaffed and this becomes a challenge after the second drink at the latest. Too bad...

Good cuisine in a very pleasant atmosphere. Nice audience. Courteous and competent staff. Not to mention the managing director. I'm really excited.

Great brewery inn with rustic traditional cuisine and lighter summer dishes on the weekly menu. Unfortunately no changing table available.

The service staff are very friendly and attentive. The food is very good.

Nice location. Good food and good service. Price performance a bit overpriced. Clean. Recommended

Völlig ÜBERTEUERT!! Wir haben auf das Essen verzichtet, da es nicht nur viel zu teuer ist, auch am Nebentisch nicht besonders aussah. Chicken Nuggets by the way mit Pommes 22 Euro 🤦‍♀️ was ist da schief gelaufen?? Nur mal so, damit man eine Preisvorstellung bekommt, unfassbar! Dazu schlechter Service, gelangweilte nicht unfreundliche Kellner! Nie wieder!

Food tastes great. Unfortunately, the prices have simply increased so much in recent years that a visit is no longer worth it in terms of price/performance.

Food ok, great terrace right by the stream

Was in the brewery for the first time. Very nice atmosphere and very nice staff. I can't write anything about the food yet because I only had something to drink.

We met friends here and loved the food, service and ambience. You can sit very well inside or outside when the weather is good. We will be back.

Das Weinglas war voll Lippenstift. Als ich reinging wollte er tatsächlich den Wein aus den schmutzigen Glas in ein sauberes Glas umschütten. Die Nudel meiner Freundin waren matschig gekocht. Der Beilagensalat war ebenfalls nicht frisch. Die Kellner total unaufmerksam. Haben nicht einmal in 1Std gefragt ob wir noch etwas zu trinken haben wollen.

Stale warmed sauerkraut is not delicate.Only one of the many tables had an earthenware jug with cutlery and napkins which my husband fetched.The waiter didn't notice when we were serving that we didn't have any cutlery.Prices are exorbitant.

We had a lovely evening here with great, friendly service, good, tasty brewery food, a large selection of desserts and plenty of drinks. We'll definitely come back for dinner.

Nice atmosphere inside and large beer garden. Service quick and nice. Home-style food with reasonable prices.

Nice view of the Düssel from the outside area

It's best to avoid this "restaurant", it's really really bad and overpriced (no wonder there are no prices on the menu online! A bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, peppers and seeds for €17.90 You have to bring it first. Now add avocado as a topping for €5.90 extra and a bit of chicken for €7.50 and then you have a delicious bowl for over 30 EURO. That's really cheeky given all the increased costs and should be bought straight away. About our experience: If you just want to drink a beer and are nearby, ok... but then please pay attention to the filling level and where the calibration mark is! People tend to pour too little here ;-) and at €5.60 or so for 0.5l it should at least be full and not have 0.45 liters in it! The food was really bad and incredibly expensive! Had two burgers, the first was super dry and inedible, the second was a little better but really not good at 22 euros, you just expected more. The problem here again, 200 grams is on the card and what feels like 130 grams arrive. Of course there was a loss of roasting etc. but either it was really bad meat with a lot of water or it was just a lie ;-) Waiters were nice, but it seems like the boss is the problem here! Therefore simply not recommended ;-)

There were two of us there today and we waited almost an hour until our order finally came. Great atmosphere to have a drink but I can't recommend eating there. The menu is not large, but quite expensive for mediocre quality.

Very nice experience eating there. The ambience is incredibly beautiful and rustic with industrial culture. And the food was also very, very tasty and highly recommended!

Schade für den hungrigen Abend. Preis-Leistung leider sehr schlecht. Getränke und Service flott - das war das einzig GUTE. Die Speisen viel zu kleine Portionen für den Preis. Der Gulasch hatte nur zwei “Stückchen“ Fleisch in eigenartiger angedickter Sauce, mit einem geschmacklosen Kloß, für 22,50 € - 😳 unfassbar. HAMBURGER recht klein, eher als Kinderteller geeignet, wenig Pommes. Nichts für den guten Hunger, oder starke Männer. Auch hier vieeel zu teuer. Da ist McD sogar besser. Die anderen Speisen waren auch nicht gut. Salatsauce musste man suchen. Bratkartoffeln waren kalt. Also bei schönem Wetter, draußen für 1-2 Drinks ja, aber nicht wieder hierher zum Essen.

Service very friendly. Drinks and food came quickly. Salad punch is absolutely not recommended. Just add a little vinegar sauce. The price at €17.50 is unreasonable and overpriced. No bread was served with it and no "small compensation" on the house after you had expressed your dissatisfaction. It's a shame... I know it differently

The ambience is very nice. The service is quick. The price is okay. A little too high, but fair for the ambience. There is an open kitchen. My cheese spaetzle was plentiful and tasted great. But the cheese choice wasn't right. The mountain cheese wasn't enough and it was very creamy. This made it a little too runny. But overall a 4 out of 5 points

Die Location ist sehr ansprechend,allerdings hat der Salat zu wenig Dressing und stellenweise verwelkte Blätter,der Hauptgang"Schnitzel mit Champion Rahmsoße und Bratkartoffeln muss leider reichlich nach gewürzt werden,die Preise sind schon sehr hoch für die nicht so gute Qualität des Essens. Ich würde 4,5 von 10 Sternen geben.

The food is very tasty, but quite expensive. We each had a knuckle. My wife didn't quite manage hers. We also had our dogs with us. When we were finished we asked the waiter to pack up half of my wife's knuckle and my knuckle bone for the dog. The waiter took our plates and came back with two sealed aluminum boxes. When we opened the package at home. My wife had the rest of the knuckle wrapped up, but it was boneless. In my package, where my bone was supposed to be, there was only the fat I had set aside and no bone. I've never experienced anything so incompetent.

The ambience is really very nice and unique in Erkrath. Unfortunately we had to wait forever before we could order food and then had to wait another hour for the food. At least the drinks came very quickly. Unfortunately the food was below average for the price. At least the portions were very good. The salad tasted like rubber and the veggie burger also had a strange taste. A recommended location to go for a drink.

We were celebrating an 80th birthday with 13 people in the brewery. My mother paid a lot of money for a nice atmosphere, mediocre food and worse than bad service. The very stressed and unfriendly waitress made us wait for a long time and didn't ask whether everything was ok or whether it tasted good, she was very annoyed and rolled her eyes because the children needed something to choose an ice cream. When asked if she was stressed, she replied rudely, "that's just the way it is." No matter how much stress there is, the guest shouldn't notice anything. However, we are not inhumane and understand if things don't go smoothly right away. The food was placed on the table over our heads and the drink was handed to us. When asked if she had a glass of water to put the bouquet in, she said if she had time she would bring one! Of course this didn't happen. We then flushed an empty beer glass down the toilet and used it. We had reserved as a birthday party. A waiter who brought us 3 meals to the table was the only one who had a smile and was friendly. (a little older)

We were a large group of 14 people for a birthday dinner. The atmosphere is really nice. The food was okay for a brewery. In the outdoor area, a maximum of half of the tables were occupied; in the indoor area, we were the only occupied table. The toilets are not clean. In the men's toilets, the water and urine flow out of the urinals, so you inevitably have to walk through them. Even after staying for almost 3 hours, nothing changed. The service, however, is a complete disaster. Unfriendly and really snotty. We had to wait 30 minutes for the drinks order. After another 45 minutes you were allowed to order food. The food was brought very quickly, but there were 2 wrong orders and one meal was completely forgotten. The starters were then brought during the main course. We then rejected it and had to cancel it. Basically, we understand stressed service staff. However, the lady who served us was so unfriendly, snotty and unprofessional that I have never experienced that in my 50s. For this arrogant reason of unfriendliness, we will no longer visit this restaurant.

Food was good, but service left something to be desired. Long waiting times and the wrong dishes were brought out. Empty plates and glasses were cleared away very late or not at all. We were eating with a large group and had said beforehand that it was someone's birthday. Unfortunately, it was completely forgotten and no one even asked who the birthday child was. When asked if the lady was stressed, the answer was that it is just the way it is. Absolute no go.

Great location, nice that you are in Erkrath

First of all: the food was really good, plentiful and there was nothing to complain about. 6 people all different dishes ö, all at the same time, why and every plate delicious. Ambience: nice, big, modern... Great... However, it was really loud on Saturday evening, so you could hardly follow your own conversations. Now to the absolute crux of the matter: the service At first our table was still occupied. The waitress said "you can sit down when it becomes available". So far so good. 5 minutes later we could sit down. It took an estimated 25 minutes to clear up, the table wasn't wiped. It took another 20 minutes to order the drinks. After delivery, another good 40 minutes to order the food. Then it took forever to clear away and another eternity to place another drink order. Criticism was not even accepted. Short version: Great food, poor service.

Great location, very good food. Unfortunately service was very bad. Why? Apparently overwhelmed due to high number of guests or whatever. A few small key points: - Reserved table not ready. - Waiting time because of that. - no service staff present - after the delicious meal, not having the foresight to clear things up from the staff, let alone ask about their satisfaction... - only available to order drinks upon request (another 20 minutes later). - When the billing took place at some point, it was not open to expression of opinion... - Thank you, goodbye, hopefully you were satisfied.... none. Sorry for this statement, but unfortunately that's how it was!

Ambience, service, friendly staff, tasty brewery cuisine, everything was perfect. Visit for four.

It's nice to sit outside, which we did for the second time today. Inside the interior is in an industrial style, which I really like... beautiful! We'll be happy to sit there in bad weather. The service is very courteous and friendly. Today I ate the 3 bratwursts with sauerkraut and puree. They were served in an iron pan and I really enjoyed them. My companion also liked the Brauhaus salad with fried potatoes and fried egg. I think it's nice that you can order roulade. I had it last time and I really liked it too. We'll be back 🙂.

The atmosphere is very nice and the service is good, but not particularly friendly. Unfortunately the food was a disaster. The shank consisted more of fat than meat and the meat was of poor quality. Given the higher prices, we would have expected more. 2 of us (both had the knuckle or the knuckle pan) had massive gastrointestinal problems after eating. The burger was OK. We probably won't come back.

Service and ambience top, food just mediocre. The Serrano and olives look like they came from the supermarket. The bread dry. Main courses aren't great, but they fill you up. However, I think that the price-performance ratio is not right at all.

Ambience very good. Service, although not busy, could have been a bit quicker. The burger I ate was super tasty, but in my opinion it was overpriced. Price/performance ratio isn't quite right here, so no 5 stars.

Very nice atmosphere in an industrial style. Food a bit expensive but worth every cent. Rarely eaten so well. Definitely a recommendation.

Friendly service, super tasty knuckle and cheese spaetzle, nice ambience, we will definitely come back again

Nice beer gardens on the Düssel. Restaurant inside very tastefully decorated, really nice atmosphere.

Were here for Father's Day. Quite nice but too expensive due to the holiday. However, the restaurant looks very interesting. We will visit it again on another day.

Great ambience. Friendly service. Delicious freshly tapped beer. Food could be better. The meatball was not fresh and too salty. The fried potatoes as well and very fatty.

Nice location, you can also sit outside. Service is nice, there's nothing to complain about. While eating. Why does a salad with chicken pieces cost €26? It's a huge portion, but it's so big that it's impossible to finish it. And you can hardly pack a salad. Otherwise the food is obviously a lot of convenience with strong fluctuations in quality. There is also strong potential for improvement in the open wines. But at least the beers are delicious.

Just beautiful! Great ambience, the service was great and the food was very filling and tasty! We would like to go there again.

Delicious currywurst with fries and salad and very friendly and attentive service!

Very nice brewery, friendly service and delicious food. The prices are above average, but justified.

Unfortunately, I didn't have such a good experience in this restaurant yesterday. In general it can be said that the ambience of the brewery is very nice. I moved to Erkrath six months ago, my partner has always lived here. The landlord of the brewery showed me the location at the time and praised the Bauhaus highly. Of course I always wanted to go, but my partner wasn't that enthusiastic because she hadn't liked the food that much in the past. Two or three months ago I was able to get my way, but I have to say she was right. Nice ambience but the food was just okay. Yesterday I wanted to give the brewery a second chance. We were in the beer garden and I wanted something light to eat. I ordered the brewery salad, which consists of fried potatoes and a fried egg. I was wondering why the food was completely ready after just a few minutes. Preparing the fried potatoes usually takes a few minutes. After I saw the potatoes, I realized why. These were soaked with oil and partly lukewarm. Both in terms of taste and appearance, you could tell that the potatoes had been fried in oil for the second time. The potatoes were soaked with old and new oil. Of course I left a large part of the food alone, my partner only tried a potato wedge. The food upset my stomach in the evening and ended in diarrhea. Even my partner felt unpleasantly full after eating a piece of potato. You can also read in numerous other reviews that the food is only mediocre. It is impossible to determine whether the kitchen made a big mistake or whether it was a requirement of the company. I have nothing against slightly higher prices for food, but the quality of the food and the quality of its preparation should match the price level. We won't eat here anymore, just drink something. I would have liked to express my criticism personally, but there was only one service for inside/outside and counter. For me it's just understaffed. Because of this, he probably forgot to ask if everything was okay because of the stress.

Sitting here is really idyllic when the weather is nice, but the food is not recommended and the prices will make you lose your appetite. The service is good.

Good ambience, nice service, good food, large portions, slightly higher priced. A nice locality. Personally, however, I am missing a unique selling point.

Simply put: a brewery in Erkrath. Good food and lots of seating. Outside and inside.

Very decent food at great prices. The service is very attentive.
