Das Brauhaus Schlebusch in Leverkusen

I invited an Aussie friend to join me here for lunch recently. We hadn't booked a table in advance and even though the place was quite full the busy waiter indicated a table for us. Here, you really must stick to ordering the excellent Schreckenskammer Kölsch. Ordered in the typical 0,2l glasses this lovely beer is so easy to drink. I had the steamed mussels with white wine and cream. They serve this here with a small piece of black bread and butter. I think that I would have preferred a couple of bread rolls to soak up all the juice/sauce. My friend had a huge omelette with bacon pieces and substantial salad. It was so big that he couldn't finish it. Our waiter had a lot to do on that day. He seemed to be rushed off his feet. Nevertheless he kept his cool and remained friendly and tried to serve us as quickly as possible. All good!

Nice but too expensive if you're alone

Everything that makes a brewery... delicious food, nice staff and great Kölsch!

Delicious food at moderate prices. It was just extremely cold in the restaurant.

2nd Leverkusen pub festival with the band 'Second Hand' was simply GREAT!!

Been there for a few years, very good service and very good plain food.

We had a buffet. It was tasty but not for vegetarians. Unfortunately, the vegetables almost drowned in the hollandaise

Today we had dinner at the brewery with 4 people. 3 times steak, a knuckle without sauerkraut, but salad. The food was very tasty and plentiful. Waiting times were great. Recommended. Price performance fits. Reservation would make sense. Keep it up👍

Unlucky !!! We were assigned a table upstairs - the radiators were turned on by the service - but it was still cold. Because of the long journey from the kitchen, the food comes lukewarm. Cutlery is missing, will be fetched downstairs. Food is now cool. Since the plates are not preheated, the food for all four guests becomes ice cold in no time. Other guests close the curtains because they are freezing. We're calling it a night. It's cozy and warm in the basement. Bad luck for us.

Brauhaus was perfect! You don't have to go to the almost industrial processing facilities of the breweries in downtown Cologne, just sit here in the beer garden! The food is fantastic and of course the beer too!

Fair price. Good food and horror on tap. Perfect for a nice evening.

Spontaneously went to the brewery for a nightcap after not getting anything to drink for over an hour at another bar. Thanks to the very nice, attentive waiter, we'll be happy to come back for a nightcap or two :)

Everything was great, nothing to complain about. Recommended.

The three of us ate there today. After being a regular customer for many years, way back in the past under the previous owner, but having been repeatedly disappointed on our last visits in recent years, we wanted to try it again. Unfortunately we were disappointed again! First of all, the service was great. Our “Köbes” was attentive, quick and very friendly. He stayed that way even when we had to complain about our food. As with previous visits, the quality was completely unacceptable. One schnitzel was fried completely "dead", the cordon bleu was also completely dry, the breading was fried black, which even the convenient hollandaise sauce from the tetra pack couldn't cover up, but the third dish was even more cruel. The “Kölsche Bratwurst” was really inedible. Baked in oil that tasted completely old (certainly not properly fried in a pan), it had nothing to do with the fresh bratwurst that was advertised. Even a Dutch frikandel is better in terms of quality and taste. All in all very disappointing and actually our last visit to this once great brewery.

Today we were at the Schlebuscher Brauhaus for the first time. Had fun making reservations by phone yesterday and was looking forward to 1:00 p.m. Ambience full of “Kölsches Brauhaus”😍 We could smell the “old flair”. The door, the curtain, the dining room... THE wooden barrel... Mega!!! We were assigned the table and “the fun” continued!!! Great service (thank you both) Attentive, fast and friendly! Food was fantastic! (kudos to the kitchen) If you can't figure it out, you should do some work on yourself! Keep it up, we'll definitely be back 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Best brewery ever! Service and food are really very good, the salad dressing is absolutely amazing!

The liver was sometimes as hard as the sole of a shoe!

Kölsch very tasty, service very nice but unfortunately understaffed, food is okay, unfortunately the toilets are disgusting.

First of all I have to say that the service staff is very nice and quick. Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. We each ate schnitzel with fries and salad. Unfortunately, the food was only lukewarm, the schnitzels were so mixed that they were barely edible and the fries were fried so often that they only tasted like fat. We're not used to that at the Schlebuscher Brauhaus. We couldn't complain about the food because we were there with two small children and didn't have that much time. Friends of ours were there two days later and were also totally disappointed. Has the chef changed or why has the quality deteriorated so much? Unfortunately we won't be coming back for a while.

A great host who is launching a very special campaign at Carnival. Whether it's a party or a relaxed evening in the brewery, the team is always in a good mood and tries to fulfill all your wishes. The Kölsch from the barrel is delicious and always well tapped, well chilled and simply perfect, even when the rooms are full for a carnival celebration. Our dog (see photo) is always warmly welcomed, no Kölsch for him, but treats, water and cuddles from the boss and his crew. We can't understand the dog-unfriendly reviews, but we're actually traveling with a large dog.

Nice staff, we were there without a reservation and were very friendly "placed" in the counter area and then after 20 minutes a nice table with 4 people Our waitress was super nice, but sometimes had to "overcome" because it was very full and the staff shortage was certainly evident here too. The food was delicious😋 and we would love to come back

Too few staff, totally overwhelmed. Food and drinks were forgotten, supposedly a transmission error. Otherwise food good.

Were immediately greeted with the words the place is full I'm alone in other words you can go again.

Typical, rustic beer garden and brewery atmosphere. The staff is very friendly, they serve "Schreckenskammer" Kölsch (that's the name of the brewery. Highly recommended.) The food is very traditional.

I ordered fried potatoes with egg and was immediately told that they were made with bacon. What came next were lots of fried potatoes, some of which were black and tasted burnt, and the rest seemed to barely have touched the bottom of the pan. There were no bacon bits or onions. When I told the waiter that it tasted burnt, he immediately took them away and brought me new ones (?) that were just as burnt. I sorted out at least half and ate the rest. The waiter was nice enough to bring me a small plate with more fried potatoes. But I had completely lost my appetite for it. The waiter was very attentive and friendly and the food and drinks were brought promptly. I won't come back.

Very friendly and capable service. Forward-looking and competent! Thanks to Melina for the feel-good atmosphere.

Food delicious. Thanks to Melina for very friendly service.

... what should you write that others haven't already written? Summer, sun, hunger and thirst. Just go to the beer garden in the evening. The waitress tries to provide supplies to quench your thirst. The cook tries to satisfy the hunger. Both of them succeeded. Despite the high number of guests, there were no waiting times. That's how you like it and that's how you like to come back. ...

I was very satisfied. The steak was tasty, the croquettes were ok, mushrooms didn't convince me. The service was very friendly. Even though we were there with a child, we felt very welcome. Thanks for the lovely afternoon

Dry Brauhausschnitzel. This also applies to the side dishes, whereas the salad is tasty. Contrast meal. Beer good

Spent a lovely summer evening in the brewery. The food is brewery-friendly, tasty, down-to-earth, well priced, tasteful and well portioned. The Horror Chamber Kölsch 1A. The service is cool, always with a good saying. A guest didn't take his order quickly enough. The Köbis said: "It's your turn when it's your turn", great!!!

Beautiful house and beer garden, very friendly staff, very flexible when a thunderstorm threatens to offer beer garden guests room in the house despite the high number of reservations. The prices are very moderate and the portions are large and tasty. We'll definitely be back.

The meat was just very dry. It was literally fried.

Good service. Price-performance ratio is right. Dishes sufficient and tasty. Always my pleasure!

The food is delicious and atmosphere is great, everyone were so friendly.

Absolutely delicious burger eaten! Ambiance just brewery. Would go back at any time!

Good even though it's in Leverkusen

Great beer garden, spacious, rustic long tables, mostly covered with giant tents! Extremely attentive service, lightning fast, friendly, additional requests - extra Parmiggiano, pepper mill - are fulfilled immediately. Greetings to the kitchen… tagliatelle with chanterelles, a delight!! No Italian does it better! Al dente, the pasta, delicious the dish, portion that makes you happy😀Already ordered for the second time… Unfortunately, summer is always too short, but the interior with its robust feel-good atmosphere invites you to continue 😂 Kind regards to Schlebusch to the entire brewery team, continued success and friendly guests! UA & J Br.

Very good food. Everything fits here. Brauhaus feeling, service.

Delights and laugh muscles included! The Brauhaus Schlebusch is the perfect place to leave everyday life behind. The food? Simply delicious - it makes you think about whether you should sneak into the kitchen secretly to steal the recipes. The atmosphere? Rustic and cozy, you feel like you're having a relaxing evening with old friends. If you don't stop by here, you're definitely missing out!

The food was ok, but a bit sparingly seasoned. There is delicious horror chamber Kölsch, the ambience is typical brewery. We sat in a side room, the air in it was very bad, you can't ventilate this room, and there are also the kitchen smells. A real drawback is the staff; The young lady was friendly, but also completely overwhelmed. You wait a long time for drinks, you have to ask for fresh glasses, and plates are not cleared away. If it's full, it's not an issue that you have to wait, but you'll think about whether you'll go there again under these conditions.

Perfect and they cater to your special requests for small children.

Very good price-performance ratio and very tasty 😋 😋 😋

Location good. Waiters friendly but understaffed, resulting in a longer wait for drinks. Food mediocre. Got another chance after two years. Waiters still very friendly and no longer understaffed. Better brand of beer now. Food unchanged - worked. One more star now.

Very good food, good atmosphere and the waiters are always super friendly. Price/performance is right. Would love to come back.

Nice beer garden, good parking, attentive, friendly service and reasonable prices. What more do you want?

Absolute disaster This is the second time I've had burnt schnitzel and soggy fried potatoes. You have to call the waitress several times to get someone to come. Last time, the food came first and then, after repeated shouts and 5 minutes, the cutlery came! There was also a stupid comment from the waitress! Conclusion: We will be spending our regular meeting at another restaurant in the future.

We had a very pleasant experience at Brauhaus Schlebusch. The staff was extremely friendly and tried to make our visit as pleasant as possible. The food was fine and the portions were very generous. The price-performance ratio is great. The ambience and flair of the brewery are also fine. We'd love to come back!

I'm excited! Great service and really good food with a typical brewery atmosphere! Simply mega

The food was good 👍 the service was nice

Delicious food, Kölsch and great service! Always my pleasure.

Delicious food, nice staff. :-)

Unfortunately, the food didn't convince us, the sauce on the mushroom schnitzel was too cold and therefore even lumpy, and the fries were simply hard. The small salad bowl was unspectacular but the tastiest of the whole dish. The really friendly waitress asked if it was tasty and we explained why it wasn't. She said she was sorry, but from the reaction you could tell that no one really cared... it's a shame, I know much better food from other bauhaus locals

Very friendly staff. Delicious food at good prices. Delicious Kölsch

I ate there for the first time yesterday and wanted to eat something smaller so I decided on the burger. Looked good at first, but... the patty was as tough as shoe leather, and the lettuce leaf underneath had seen better days... just awful. The fries were good. They'll never see me again

Good food, see friendly conditions! We had a lovely evening and would love to come back.

Great beer garden. Delicious food. Nice personel. Good price-performance ratio. It's worth it.

The beer garden is ok, as is the beer horror chamber. Unfortunately the burger was below average with ready-made sauce. The fries were good. The salads were also quite ok. The waiter, however, was rude and said to other guests: "...if you don't like it, you can leave." Another guest ordered apple juice and the answer was harsh: "It's out". And he was particularly confidential with us, even though he doesn't know us at all. Nope 🤨

Great Brauhaus food, simple filling and tasty, great beer as well.

If the service is overwhelmed, you shouldn't blame it on your colleagues but rather help each other

Nice typical Kölsch brewery. The food is delicious, the portions are large and, as is typical for the brewery, the Kölsch is always delivered quickly. As for Kölsch, there is a chamber of horrors here.

You have to get staff first to order something then they forget to bring it. Food was warmed up. Toilets are dirty despite the report nothing has changed, the reason is that staff are missing for everything even though the restaurant was almost empty

Very varied cuisine... sometimes great and sometimes a no-go... you don't know how that happens. It's just a shame that you don't get consistent quality.

A very chic brewery with friendly, accommodating service, what more could you want.

Not worth eating there! Maybe they had a bad day!

We have been coming here for over 20 years. Even after the change of ownership. Always quite satisfied so far. Unfortunately different today. Pork chop only slightly cooked, i.e. bloody. Potatoes boiled and seasoned, but no fried potatoes. Went back more than half. Salad with turkey liver. Unfortunately, chicken is no longer available, the meat is a bit leathery and dry and, unfortunately, mostly bland iceberg lettuce. The staff accepted the "criticism". Potatoes that evening (after 1 1/2 hours) were probably complained about several times.

Home cooking. Setup normal. But super nice, friendly and funny service. C. (does not want to mention his name here) was always attentive and immediately there for the customer. People like to give a good tip here.

NEVER AGAIN - STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Went there one early evening around 6.00pm... Ordered a simple dish (Nürnberger Sausages) and waited and waited. They were clearly understaffed and I observed several other guests complaining about the long waiting times for their food orders to arrive. The "excuse" was that the kitchen was busy...amazingly, at some point one of the female staff members (daughter of the owner/chef?) shouted loudly and for all guests to hear: "die Küche ist ein Schlachtfeld" ('the kitchen is a battlefield')! At that point - had waited for over an hour for my order to arrive - I lost my appetite completely. I cancelled my order, but they insisted that I had to pay for the food I had ordered but that never arrived....UNBELIEVABLE! There are plenty of better restaurant choices around - this Brauhaus is ridiculous: unprofessional, incompetent and outright rude!

Delicious food and friendly, attentive service

With perfect service and good food..A perfect lunch break..

We ate here for the first time today, but definitely not the last. The portions were plentiful and very tasty. The staff friendly and accommodating. Price performance ratio is very good. Update March 24, 2020: tried your delivery service today. Food was very tasty. Thank you and we keep our fingers crossed that you get through this difficult time well. Stay healthy

Whenever we are in Leverkusen, we meet up with friends there and always have a great time there!!

The service was nice but also very stressful. Everything took a long time. The wait staff can't help it, but how about one more employee on a sunny Saturday? Unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed the food at all. We won't come back.

Simply great. Great for a nice evening. Price performance ratio top

Well prepared food in a nice place.

Super nice staff. Good food at reasonable prices. Very busy so make a reservation on the weekend.

Very tasty food. Chamber of Horrors Kölsch.: great. The ambience is great

This is how I imagine a brewery. Great food, great location and unbeatable prices

Rustic, several rooms and large beer garden. Delicious Kölsch

If you like schnitzel, this is the place for you, if you like good schnitzel, this is the place for you. Great pan-fried schnitzels with buttery flavor, that's how it should be and that's how it's done here. The service was also good, the poor waiter always had to go up the stairs but we never ran dry ;-)

I'm thrilled, very friendly, great menu for a brewery and great what's on the plate. So people come by here and see for yourself. And the price is right here too.

Delicious authentic cuisine. The service was very friendly. Gladly again.

We sat comfortably and ate very well. Food was excellent. Again and again.

A brewery as it should be, legendary Kölsch, great food and super-friendly staff. Even if it's full, always have a nice saying ready.

Great value for money and service always friendly. You should reserve a table as it is always full.

Reasonable prices for Kölsch and small delicacies like Mettbrötchen.

Hmm, we came here again and had such a delicious meal. The greeting was nice and I feel very welcome here.

Very tasty and cozy atmosphere.

Very cozy restaurant Price performance is not exaggerated and affordable. Very tasty food and good portions. The staff is very nice and accommodating. I can only recommend it and always a happy guest. 👍👍👍👍

Simple, old, good. Very busy at the weekend. Food good.

Great mood. Very nice and humorous staff. Great food

Delicious regional food, fair drink prices, super nice service

Super friendly staff and the food was very tasty, again and again 👌

First visit to the Schlebuscher Brauhaus, roast roast sensational, fried potatoes a bit dry, salad delicious! Service outstanding, atmosphere cozy. Price-performance ratio: great! Nice to have such a great restaurant nearby!

Nice, competent service/food delicious and satisfying!!!- Good price-performance ratio! Completely satisfied

Rustic brewery feeling on the outskirts of the city. The waitress was on the ball and always kept an overview even with our chaotic group of almost 20 people and provided us with delicious horror chamber Kölsch and other cold drinks. The only negative point is that, as a vegan, there isn't much choice on the menu. So I concentrated on drinking beer. Improvements can be made here, especially since there is no shortage of options these days, including for breweries.

Nice restaurant, pleasant atmosphere.

I celebrated Weiberfastnacht at the brauhaus schlebusch and was positively impressed by the ambience and service.

Simply great, it's just how you imagine a good brewery to be. The service is great, the food tastes good and there is always a well-tapped Kölsch in front of you. You just feel good and want to come back again and again. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Nice brewery, summer and winter
