Das Brauhaus Schlebusch in Leverkusen

Cozy atmosphere, nice and friendly staff. Typical brewery food at average prices.

Great food, no matter what, it tastes really great, I always love coming back, keep it up! And very friendly service.

You should be banned!!! Who gave you permission to be so delicious? Who gave you permission to be so friendly and understanding on top of that? Why did our evening with you feel like I was at home? Why? Why? The kitchen team, please feel virtually hugged ♥ you are magicians... I had the schnitzel with pepper sauce and... my colleagues were also very, very impressed. It was truly wonderful at your place... keep up the great work. A♥K♥Q♥J♥10♥

This is about a particular waiter and the boss who doesn't take action and doesn't throw out these types. The boss is replaced and does nothing. An unnamed waiter, 1.95 meters tall, with black hair and a beard, thinks he's the boss. He can diagnose illnesses from afar (better than a head physician) and then throw guests out of the restaurant. He interferes in private conversations that are none of his business. He declares a lockdown for the restaurant and keeps the beer garden closed even in perfect weather. Instead of serving customers at the bar, even though he sees them waiting for drinks, he goes for a smoke. He also knows where parking is allowed and where it isn't, orders a car to be moved, and threatens to call the police. Not five minutes later, another customer is parked in the same spot. That's perfectly fine. Double standards and no police involvement. This guy's arrogance and conceit are unparalleled and he certainly doesn't belong in the restaurant business. He thinks he's indispensable and is also incredibly unfriendly. Yesterday, I went to the brewery for the first time in ages. At first, the waiter said everything was reserved. When I finally found a free table, he refused to serve me and told the other waiters, who had never even seen me, to do the same. I, along with other guests, complained to the owner several times. He brushed it all off and even defended staff like that. Unbelievable. Several customers have already stopped going to the brewery because of this waiter. The owner never issued any bans. This untrained guy hasn't achieved anything in his life and probably never will, yet he thinks he's the boss, while the spineless owner doesn't do anything about it, even though his business is being damaged. Keep it up, that's the motto. I think it was about time someone addressed this publicly. Update: Yesterday, the owner reacted and issued me a ban on top of everything else, which I don't really care about since I wouldn't have been going back anyway. It's the revenge of the little guy who can't take criticism; the signals were sent by both the waiter and the owner. When things get out of hand, a ban is issued, problem solved. No one complains anymore. A boss who lets the waiter walk all over him and has completely lost his leadership. Honestly, nobody needs a boss who then spreads lies to his customers. He refuses to accept criticism and change anything. On the contrary, he counters it aggressively with false accusations. You rarely see him in the restaurant in the evenings, so he doesn't notice anything. I don't even want to comment on the other problems, as other customers have already done so. There are places where you're greeted warmly by the owner and treated politely by the staff. Here, the customer is treated like royalty, at best a second-class citizen. Anyone who agrees is welcome to comment. Food: 2

Highly recommended, my clear recommendation!

This was our first time here today, and despite the restaurant being full, we received a very warm welcome from the truly wonderful and attentive waitress. We didn't find the noise level bothersome at all; it's just typical of a brewery. The food was excellent, and we will definitely be back. My husband and I highly recommend it. A special thank you to the lovely waitress; she was the nicest person we've ever met.

The waiters aren't very attentive. They don't even notice you when you want to order something. The mashed potatoes and applesauce came without applesauce. Despite asking, I didn't get any. No apology either.

A traditional brewery, perfect for those who appreciate hearty food. The portions are generous, and you'll definitely be full. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, and the service was super friendly.

Finally visited after more than 10 years and we are thrilled.

The food was absolutely delicious, highly recommended. Wonderful German cuisine!

The food was delicious. Friendly service. Everything was excellent.

Very tasty brewery with good service. Very good value for money.

Typical brewery, very friendly staff... but: The food was actually a complete disappointment. I was really looking forward to the Leberkäse (meatloaf) with a fried egg and fried potatoes. Unfortunately, the Leberkäse was extremely salty, and the fried potatoes were a complete disaster: pre-made fried potatoes, like you'd get from a discount store in the refrigerator. Terribly bad; I'd at least expect fresh fried potatoes. What a shame.

Suuuuper delicious! Amazing service - cool! 😎👍🏼

Good food, good service, and very good value for money. If you're looking for that brewery feel, this is the place for you. If you want to be guaranteed a seat, you should make a reservation, as the brewery is very popular and therefore well attended.

I'd go back anytime. Delicious food, great service, and, above all, the best Kölsch beer.

It's always a pleasure to stop by. It's best to make a reservation, as it's always busy. A typical brewery with very friendly service, without which it would really be only half a brewery. The food is delicious and almost impossible to finish. The "Schrankenskammer" beer is simply the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work.

It's a lovely old brewery with a delicious "Schreckenskammer" (chamber of horrors) on tap. The menu is good and the portions are generous. Now, during chanterelle season, they also offer dishes with chanterelle mushrooms. I had a schnitzel with chanterelle mushrooms and absolutely loved it! The only downside to the brewery is the limited parking. It's always best to call ahead and make a reservation.

Good food Good portion Good price Great

Despite a small staff, friendly and quick service, food all around good and tasty

My husband made a last-minute reservation. Unfortunately, we arrived about 15 minutes late. When we arrived, we were seated at a pass-through table facing the kitchen sink, a makeshift shelf and wall. The table had a shelf under the legs, so we didn't know how to place our feet without them starting to itch. The waitress asked us if we wanted drinks. We were given them together or separately, as my husband had reserved under a name. There was a candle on the table, which is usually lit, and my husband did this. The wait was okay. When our food arrived, we were greeted with the words "Welcome to McDonald's." I go to a brewery to eat well, not just for the sake of it. The food was "well, I can do better at home." The sauces were slimy, and the schnitzel my husband got was very dark. They should never have served it. We didn't want to wait any longer, though, as we had other plans. My chicken breast was perfectly fine, but the sauce. When we were finished, of course, we wanted to pay. We had to ask three different people if we could pay. It took 10 minutes before someone came. The waitress asked us if we wanted anything else. My husband said, "A pormornaie to pay." We don't think she found that very amusing. She went and took the orders for a large group. While she was calculating, she bent down to the table, which was already cramped.

Thank God we discovered this restaurant last year and we are happy. Service 5 points, everyone is always in a good mood and friendly. Food 5 points, no matter what we ordered, everything was simply delicious, even to take away, everything as desired. Price/performance ratio also 5 points. We are always happy to come back.

Super friendly staff, good service, and delicious food! We'd love to come back 🥰

Unfortunately, the schnitzel was overcooked. The portion of fries was very small. The salad was okay. The noise level was quite high.

The food was delicious. We sat outside in the beer garden. Everything is rustic but cozy. The portions are generous. The prices are perfectly reasonable.

Friendly and fast service and delicious food.

Yes, waiters were a bit overworked

Large beer garden with wooden tables and benches, although they aren't very comfortable. The special salad was very varied and delicious. Extremely friendly and prompt service; the value for money is decent.

Highly recommended. Nice atmosphere and service. Good value for money. Unfortunately, the wait time for service was a bit long.

Very nice beer pub. Delicious food. Cozy.

We were there and it was super delicious, we were served immediately and the cellars were super friendly

Tradition is important and prices are moderate and that is how it should be

The best brewery you could wish for! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What more can I say? A wonderful and fantastic team, great guests, and delicious food! You can come here and relax! I especially recommend the delicious Kölsch beer! Absolutely recommended!!! ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

It was crowded and loud. But the food and service were great.

A good brewery! Excellent service! We keep coming back! Very busy outside in the summer! Chamber of Horrors beer!

Good food at a good price. Friendly staff.

Delicious food and well-chilled drinks

They have great schnitzels of all kinds, and you get a generous portion, plus fries and salad on the side, which is plentiful and filling! There are plenty of other dishes to choose from! A very informal atmosphere and very nice and friendly staff. I've eaten there a few times and can only recommend others to eat there! It's worth it!

We were there with friends. It was a lovely evening. At the beginning of the evening, the waitress was great, quick, and friendly (we would have bought her a drink). When we ordered our food, I ordered the brewery burger, which tasted good. Unfortunately, I have to say that the tomato was cut into quarters; in my opinion, they should put a slice on it. Later in the evening, after we'd finished eating, someone asked where the friendly waitress had gone, and the "boss" said, "I threw her out." We didn't find that very funny. Because of that, we won't go there anymore; in my opinion, that's just unacceptable.

Nice new benches and tables outside, beer cold and good as always, food delicious, but unfortunately the service on Sunday was much too slow or overwhelmed and it wasn't really fun.

The Leberkäse (meatloaf) with egg and fried potatoes is very tasty, well prepared, and looks great. The non-alcoholic wheat beer also tastes delicious. Compared to current prices (July 2025), the prices are still slightly below average—in other words, quite reasonable. The ambiance of the place is more for "old-fashioned" people; it's more rustic/country-style. It really appeals to me.

I was with a small group (4-5 people) at "Das Brauhaus" in Schlebusch. Overall, we had a lovely evening: The food was delicious, the beer fresh and tasty – absolutely nothing to complain about. The service itself was also friendly and personable. However, the service was unfortunately anything but smooth. After the first beer and the meal, we ordered more beer – but after that, we sometimes had to wait 20 to 30 minutes before anyone even came by or for our order to arrive. We even had the foresight to order the next beer right after receiving one – and even that took another half hour. For a brewery where the flow of beer should be a given, that's really disappointing. The whole thing dragged on several times throughout the evening. At times, we had to ask several times, and when we asked for the bill, we were first asked whether we wanted cash or card – then the waiter just came back with his wallet, even though we had said "card." So we went back to get the card machine. Occasionally, we saw him smoking outside the entrance while we waited to pay – it made you feel like you weren't being taken seriously as a guest. I understand that it can be stressful and perhaps there's a shortage of staff – but then management needs to react accordingly and employ more service staff. This shouldn't happen in a brewery of this size and with this level of standards. Conclusion: The food and drinks were excellent, the staff friendly – ​​but the service was unfortunately completely disorganized. It's a shame; better organization would have made it even better.

Unfortunately only had a quick look as it was fully booked but the short impression was very positive

Nice brewery in Leverkusen-Schlebusch. We ate with 10 people in a separate small hall. We also had dinner with two other groups. The service (Ingrid) was super friendly, pleasant, and quick. Very tasty brewery-style food at reasonable prices. I highly recommend it! On the downside, the poor acoustics are worth mentioning. It's difficult to have a conversation at that volume. Next time, we'd better try the large hall or the pleasant outdoor area.

Today was my first visit to Brauhaus Schlebusch. Excellent service! The (young) cellar attendant was super friendly, attentive, and quick. The rest of the team was also very good. The food was good. Excellent value for money. Thanks, see you next time.

Service was excellent. The food wasn't so great. The schnitzel tasted like it came from the freezer. Many chip shops do better.

Very cozy, delicious food, incredibly friendly staff, and the best service I've experienced in a long time. All in all, a place where you feel at home.

middle row ppl. take the middle row

A very good brewery with a very nice beer garden. The food is very good and the menu is very varied. The service is very good.

Very tasty food. Good home-style cooking. Friendly service. We'd gladly return.

Brewery with typical dishes. Unfortunately, the portions have gotten a bit smaller recently. But the prices are still the same. Unlike in many other restaurants, where the portions are getting smaller and the prices are increasing at the same time.

Very nice place—we drop in spontaneously from time to time and have never had to wait long for a seat. The food is typical of a brewery and delicious!

...that's home! Delicious beer and food, in a rustic atmosphere, with a super friendly staff. When the weather's nice, the beer garden is a great place to relax. Reservations are essential for a table inside!

Delicious food, delicious Kölsch, delicious boss! The great team and the cozy atmosphere always make the visit worthwhile. The shop fills up quickly on weekends, so it is advisable to reserve in advance.

The drinks and food were excellent. Fast and friendly service, and very good value for money. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Super attentive, friendly service. Excellent food quality. Prices are absolutely reasonable.

We went all out and chose this brewery, even though we'd never eaten there before. Our first daughter was having her communion, and we just wanted to go out for a meal. The communication beforehand was so seamless. We were able to do everything to make it a pleasant experience. We chose our dishes, could have decorated them beforehand, and even had fresh flowers on the tables. We were in an area just for us, which was perfect with so many children! The restrooms were nothing to complain about! The service was simply very sincere! We were served by a young team, and they were very approachable, friendly, and accommodating! They were thoughtful, and we didn't feel like we were being "overwhelmed." The food was simply magnificent! We left nothing to be desired, making it absolutely worth the price! We will definitely come back and will definitely celebrate our next communion there in 2027 🫶🏻 Best wishes, The Kösters family

We were guests at the brewery today and unfortunately witnessed a serious medical emergency. A huge thank you to the emergency services who responded immediately to the scene, as well as to the staff and guests who responded as first responders to save lives. Thanks to this, the patient now has a good chance of recovery, and the evening took a happy turn for us as well. Kudos to everyone involved.

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

The beer garden is great. The Kölsch is delicious and readily available, but unfortunately, our food was forgotten.

Great quaint place... I like being here

Very friendly, courteous service. Food and drinks were served quickly despite the large number of guests. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious food at absolutely fair prices

A nice brewery with motivated staff. Unfortunately, you're sometimes seated in secluded rooms where the waiter doesn't always check, so ordering rounds can take a bit longer. Otherwise, there's not much to complain about. The food (especially the cutlet) is very good...the fried potatoes are a bit bland, the prices are fair, the location is great, and the tram is only 250 meters away. We'd love to come back and hope for better seating.

Great food and classic brewery flair in a very nice ambiance. The outdoor beer garden is great, especially because of the quaint building.

After a rather "rustic" welcome, we enjoyed a very good goulash soup with a delicious beer. The ambiance and noise levels are typical of a brewery, and we encountered some very friendly and, unfortunately, some less so service staff. All in all, a good place to visit.

The food was great! Tables were dirty Surcharges not clearly stated

It was very nice there, nice service, good food

Always very tasty dishes no matter what you order it tastes good and then the delicious Schreckskammer beer is simply top and the outdoor area in the summer with so many guests is just great

Highly recommended! Good value for money, good quality food (and beer, too), and very friendly service.

Beautiful ambiance with super friendly service and good food. A beer garden is available. It has everything a good brewery should have. Nothing is missing. Highlight: Schreckenskammer Kölsch!

Typical brewery food, staff great!

I was here many years ago and both the staff and the food were great.

Absolutely recommended, a place with history, a former casino, very attractive, nice, quick service, delicious food, horror chamber Kölsch, what more could you want?! 🌞

Unfortunately we didn't eat anything, just stopped for a moment and had something to drink. But what was brought to the other tables looked very good!

Delicious beer and very good food

Friendly service. Very good food.

Everything was great, only the boss didn't greet me, even though I stood in front of him and looked him in the eyes and greeted him, he treated me like air. It was probably because of me personally.

Stopped here spontaneously late on Sunday afternoon. Surprised at how busy it was at this time, we were greeted very friendly and shown to a free table. The service was absolutely top, friendly, quick, accommodating. The ambience you would expect from a brewery, rustic and cozy. And the food was absolutely excellent! Absolute recommendation 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Despite the full hut and stress, the 4 of us were seated without a reservation and were very friendly and well looked after. Thanks to the team

Delicious food and very nice service.

Very great restaurant. I would never be disappointed

Really good brewery with an appropriate menu. Brauhausschnitzel is always recommended. The price-performance ratio is also right here.

Great restaurant, super delicious food.

Very tasty food, very good value for money. Sometimes a little louder

Delicious food, good service. Prices/performance is great. Would love to come back.

A great inn. Staff nice, attentive and always with a relaxed attitude. Food rich and tasty. We'll probably come back next time we're in Cologne/Leverkusen.

We ate the delicious Brauhaus schnitzel. The service was excellent and we received a friendly welcome.

A nice brewery on the edge of the forest. Also easily accessible on foot, by public transport and by bike. Price-performance ratio is reasonable. The food is good. However, the kitchen could be more attentive to the details. It's nicer if herb butter doesn't come from the ready-made butter roll on the plate, but is made yourself from simple ingredients. A special highlight is the delicious, freshly brewed horror chamber Kölsch.

The food is not worth the money. The shop thrives on the ambience.

The food was delicious, the staff (ok, we only had one condition) was friendly. It was a bit cramped and loud because the store was full. But I think 5.50 euros for a bottle of tap water is steep. It doesn't matter to me whether the water was filtered beforehand or not. Yes, it's a brewery, but I don't drink beer.

The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. I felt very comfortable. I'll definitely be back.

Great brewery with incredibly nice service.

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

Very nice typical brewery with very good food and top waiter Oleg, who contributed well to the atmosphere.

Very friendly and competent staff. The food is plentiful, tasty and affordable. Nice Cologne atmosphere. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back. Be sure to reserve in advance!

If you are looking for a real German experience, this is the place to be! The food there is great, people are nice and the atmosphere of a cozy, very nice pub. I recommend reserving a table here for dinner even on a weekday because it gets full (the best time to come for the experience). Lunch time is more quiet and relaxed.

A typically rustic brewery. Very nice service and the young employees here are already mastering the Cologne culture. The food was very tasty.

Very nice brewery with delicious Kölsch (Schreckenskammer) fresh from the barrel.
