essBar in Aachen

Best food and drinks at the best prices!!

Food was delicious, nicely presented, service very friendly, very good prices, performance

Good food. For a reasonable price.

We were there with a group. The food was delicious and there was a lot of choice. Also for vegetarians. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Always happy👍☺️

The waitress is really rude. The one with highlights and glasses. My boyfriend had to leave early for a meeting. I tried to politely ask her to pack the burger my boyfriend order but before I could finish my sentence, she cut me off and said she can't and left. I should mention, as far as I could see she only behaved like this to me. I was the only coloured person in the restaurant. Don't go here if you aren't white. I don't think I deserved this type of service.

Not good! The meat had to die twice before it was served.

Unfortunately, our visit to the Essbar was anything but satisfactory. We actually really enjoy being there. After waiting for over an hour, our food finally arrived - but then the next disappointment: the meat wasn't cooked through. When we spoke to the staff about this, there was neither an apology nor an appropriate solution suggested. Instead, we were just offered a short on the house. Since we don't like drinking alcohol, this wasn't really any compensation for us. Overall, the visit was disappointing - long waiting times, poor quality food and little responsiveness from the service. We had hoped for much more and unfortunately we cannot recommend the Essbar.

I regularly come here for something to eat and drink, or just to have a drink. It is always cozy and neat here and the staff is always friendly. The food is always tasty and neatly presented. Definitely recommended to come here for an evening.

If you want to eat delicious and relaxed food, then come here. Oh no, the only thing that works here is delicious. On Sundays the atmosphere and the volume are like in a pub, sports bar or something similar. My companion had to shout to communicate, but I still couldn't hear them. The waitress didn't really care either. We asked if the level could be lowered a little, but asking a large group for silence was probably too much to ask. and unfortunately this wasn't an isolated case today. We have been rewarded, punished?? with the same action almost every Sunday! Probably not in the future.

So far it's been one of the best places to eat in Aachen, the prices compared to the food quality, portions, and services are really good. The staff are all friendly and helpful. You would expect to be paying more for what the place provides, but what makes it always an attractive choice is prices. Definitely recommend

the food was delicious and the service was nice

We love this places, a lot kind of food to choose from and pretty good price value balance 🫶🏻 the quality of the food vary though.

No luxury but the food tastes good and the prices and portions are good too. That's why I would always come back.

Delicious food, great cocktails at very good prices. Service very nice and attentive.

Really great restaurant and gluten-free is also possible. We were very satisfied.

The service was very friendly and quick. The taste of the dishes we ordered was OK, but nothing more. Unfortunately the portions were very poor for the money. A handful of fries and the same amount of gyros... We left the shop not full and probably won't go there again.

Good food, decent portions for a fair price. Cocktails also very good. Ambience suits the location, functional, not fancy. We'll definitely come back

I ate with my family at the edible restaurant. And I ordered a gyros pita, when I ate it the meat was so strange and it was raw. My mother and husband ordered two plates with hands and the meat was raw again. My mother had severe stomach pain afterwards. My husband is Muslim and doesn't eat pork. My husband gave it to me to taste if it was pork. And it tasted like pig meat even though we specifically said that my husband is Muslim. At the end where we paid for it and got the cash register bong, the note said pork meat. My mother told the waitress and her answer was "ok" just ok she said. I find it really sad that we were treated so badly there. And afterwards, when we were at home, my mother had severe stomach pain and had to constantly go to the toilet. I wouldn't recommend going there.

There were four of us in the restaurant and wanted to test it with the Schlemmerblock. Before ordering, we placed two gourmet blocks clearly visible on the table. However, when we paid we were informed that the voucher would not be accepted because we should have explicitly mentioned it at the beginning of the order. Unfortunately the staff didn't point this out to us even though the block was clearly visible. Instead, we were told that subsequent redemption was not possible - a rule that is incomprehensible to us as long-time Schlemmerblock users. This has always worked without any problems in other restaurants. The food was good, but the inflexible and unaccommodating treatment spoiled the overall impression. It's a shame that there seems to be little emphasis on dealing with guests here. Only conditionally recommended for Schlemmerblock users.

We were there with a larger group. The table was reserved and also free. The service was nice and friendly. A look at the menu suggested something bad, as the pricing cannot be reconciled with good quality. Unfortunately, I was right. The quality of the meat (grill plate for 17.90) was subpar. In my experience, such a dish cannot be produced seriously with the amount of different types of meat and of good quality. I advise everyone not to eat there. Good money is paid for bad food. It's better to spend a little more money and treat yourself to quality.

Lots of choice, very tasty and, above all, inexpensive

Price performance ok. Nothing more but nothing less either.

Food was decent, prices are pretty good, but not sure if it was worth the 2h+ waiting time.

We waited 2 hours for our food, 2 hours. That's more than sick. What we ordered was okay. 2 schnitzels and 1 pork knuckle, the portions were large, which was very surprising. The knuckle wasn't particularly tasty. Staff friendly unfortunately overwhelmed. What wasn't great - it's extremely loud inside, you can't really have a conversation. Should we eat there again? Very unlikely the 2 hours we waited without anyone telling us why or how is not professional and definitely too long

2h waiting time!!! We reserved a table for 6 at 8 p.m. and received our food at 10:15 p.m. The store was full and after asking questions after waiting for an hour, we were repeatedly put off. If we had known this earlier, we would have left sooner. The food is average and definitely not worth 2 hours. The first and last visit for us

They played my music request, otherwise everything was great!

The food was tasty, but even though it was happy hour, I was charged the full price. I've heard other Greeks experiencing the same thing. Well done, real professionals!

Super tasty, good food and delicious espresso martini

Very good and friendly customer service

So much choice of such delicious food. Simply wonderful and great atmosphere

The food was delicious, but the staff wasn't all that friendly. We had a voucher for 2 main courses for the price of one, but we couldn't/weren't allowed to redeem it because the boss didn't agree that we didn't let us know BEFORE ordering but only after ordering.. For me it's incomprehensible and outrageous. (then you don't need to issue vouchers)

Very good price-performance ratio, very friendly staff, we would like to come back 👍😊

Price-performance ratio is great. Service very friendly. The food looked and tasted great. Only to recommend.

A very nice restaurant in the middle of the pedestrian zone. We were there on Sunday afternoon. It was relatively empty. A nice atmosphere somewhere between a sports bar / industrial look. I liked it. The service was very quick and super nice. We had 5 different meals and everyone was satisfied. There's nothing to beat in terms of price queued. I would love to come back on my next trip to Aachen.

The best team, best shop in Aachen

Service was unfriendly. There was nothing going on.

Nice food, good atmosphere and friendly service. All this you enjoy with student friendly prices :)

Very nice restaurant with friendly staff and comparatively cheap food options. Easily accessible on Pontstrasse. Highly recommended.

Nice staff, absolutely fair prices in October 24, gyros for under €10.

Good food and cheap for the area. Nice staff.

this is the best bar in town. very tasty food, very large cocktails. service and atmosphere at the highest level.

The food was super delicious, the drinks took a little long, but that could also be because it was relatively full So overall great

We were inside.. and saw a huge mouse inside. We informed the staff but they were aware of it. We Will not come back. The plate and cutlery were also dirty. The food was not good at all.

The two of us each wanted to order a schnitzel for lunch. However, we were then forced to order a drink because we had a voucher. After not too long we were given drinks and salad. The salad was not edible. The dressing was very sweet and vinegary, the salad itself wasn't really fresh and the hard stalk of the salad wasn't exactly appetizing, brown spots in the salad and dry cucumbers weren't great either. The schnitzel was solid and luckily managed to somehow remove the aftertaste from the dressing. The experience was rounded off by a card payment limit of €20.

So far I have only ever ordered schnitzel with champion cream sauce and have always been satisfied. It was very tasty, the service was good and the restaurant was always very clean and well maintained. Everything is great in terms of price too. Always my pleasure.

Very tasty restaurant. I had the hamburger. It was very juicy and delicious. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable.

Good food (large portion and selection) very good contains

Price-performance ratio great. Food was very good at a fair price. We'll be back.

Here meat items are available for very cheap price, but tastes delicious. The serving quantity is also very decent. It serves alcohol also at reasonable price. Overall, it is a good and pocket friendly option.

The restaurant has set many implicit rules of its discounts. As a customer, you certainly don't expect to suffer losses because you haven't learned the rules of a restaurant. One suggestion would be that this professional restaurant should be treated seriously like the derivatives of the capital market. Of course, it's not because the cashier is dishonest, but because the customer hasn't learned the restaurant's rules diligently and doesn't have enough perseverance in a debate. Apparently I lost a debate in my free time over the weekend. A “debate club” should not be called “Edible.”

Very tasty food at good prices and very nice service

Super tasty food and everything was perfect in terms of service. For 2 large drinks, with a starter, 2 main courses and a side salad, we paid just over 30 euros, which I think is fair these days, as long as the taste is good and you are really full. We will definitely come back.

Here you can eat well and cheaply. On different days there are discount promotions for different types of food (pizza/gyros/schnitzel etc) But even without these discount promotions, the food is cheap. The waitresses have all been very friendly so far. Unfortunately, it took a while sometimes.

Il s'agit ici d'un de mes endroits préférés à Aix-la-Chapelle. On peut y manger très correctement à petit prix, et le Che Guevara est le meilleur cocktail de la ville (en tout cas, c'est le cocktail préféré de mes amis et moi). La terrasse extérieure est très agréable. Le personnel est souriant et accueillant. N'hésitez pas à y aller pour un excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Wow, what a restaurant. I'm often there to have spare ribs. Very tasty food. Must try in Aachen! Food 💯 Quantities 💯 Drinks 💯

Very bad experience, I waited more than an hour for a gyros plate otherwise, and in the end the waiter told me he was sorry it was a mistake. I will never visit this restaurant again.

I had a very bad experience because the food I ordered arrived 1.5 hours after ordering. Service was poor and the service unfriendly. NEVER AGAIN !

Rude staff, long waiting times and bad food

Very friendly staff, good atmosphere, very good prices

We waited for hours for the food, employees were rude and treated us disrespectfully.

Not recommended to eat during the lunch break. We waited more than an hour and then got so-so food.

The waitress wasn't nice. She took our order incorrectly. Neither drinks nor the food was right. She was unfriendly. Service was very slow, but thanks for everything.

So the new waitress was super nice and accommodating, but the food was way too hard (in any case, everything was just heated up in the deep fryer) the price is ok, but I definitely won't go there on Saturdays anymore (the meal alone took over an hour felt)

The food was good and tasty The service was ok when we ordered and got the food, overall it was ok 3.5/5 for

Es gab nur wenige vegane Optionen, die aber alle nicht verfügbar waren. Der vegetarische burger sollte vegan serviert werden. Allerdings wurde der Burger mit nicht-veganer Remoulade gebracht. Der Kellner meinte dazu nur "vegan sei halt schwierig". Die Getränke musste ich mehrfach bestellen, da die Bestellung mehrfach vergessen wurde, meine Freunde waren ebenfalls mit der Qualität ihres Essens unzufrieden und das Anbiete war laut und voller betrunkener Menschen.

There were five of us there. It was very loud and many other guests were drinking too much, so it was a really unpleasant atmosphere. The few vegan dishes on the menu were not available, so the waiter offered to make a vegan burger extra. But the burger served wasn't vegan - the waiter just replied unkindly: "vegan is just difficult". My friends were also unhappy with the quality of the meat. We had to remind us several times about our drinks until they were served incompletely after a long time.

The dishes marked as vegan on the menu were all unavailable. If requested, the vegetarian burger should be available as a vegan option. This was then served with non-vegan tartar sauce. The waiter just commented that I shouldn't act like that. edit: Attention! This local deletes negative reviews!

It's a shame for the animal that had to die for this food. Disgraceful. From the Norma freezer with sauce from the tube, into the microwave. Yes, is it still okay? I can only recommend massively thinning out the map. Please only serve what the kitchen can actually prepare.

The evening was very, very nice. Service was great.

We went on a friend's recommendation and did not regret it at all! Relaxed atmosphere, excellent service, delicious pitogiras and a wide variety of cocktails! All at great prices for the quality and quantity! It will definitely be our place to stay!

Great offers! Portions are very good and taste good! ☺️

That was nothing. 45 minutes left until the next appointment. So eat a pita gyros quickly. Nothing came of it. Waited ten minutes and then ran after the waitress. The restaurant was poorly attended and still no Pita Gyros after 20 minutes. Now over 30 minutes had passed and I had to go to my next appointment without pita gyros. Addendum: Today it worked. The gyro was very tasty, well seasoned and toasted. The consistency was perfect. There was definitely not enough tzatziki. Double the amount would be appropriate. There were no cucumbers in it either. And there weren't enough onions on the gyro. The price-performance is satisfactory. The service is a bit slow and less friendly. Card payment only possible from €20.

The restaurant is OK. The waiter was friendly. Visually the food looked quite nice. The taste was okay - it was "quick cuisine" for me, but it tasted good. The ambience is okay, although some seats were torn off. There is a lot of space in the restaurant. You can eat inside and outside. However, there were no umbrellas outside.

A very nice young restaurant. The service is very nice and very attentive. The food is super tasty, we all ate something different and everyone found something. It's really tasty and cheap at the same time. The homemade lemonade is great and, above all, nothing artificial. The cocktails are bigger than expected and delicious, as are the long drinks. There is music with lighting effects similar to a club. I can only recommend the essBar if you want a nice evening with delicious food and cocktails.

The food was prepared quickly and nicely presented, but it didn't convince me: the spaghetti was too thin and the bolognese had no tomatoes. The waiter was unresponsive to ask for parmesan. It was too cold for me in the restaurant because the service didn't close the door and the music was annoying.

Super great shop, we were there yesterday. Huge selection of food (each of us had something different and everything was tasty) the home-made lemonades are highly recommended (no syrupy liquid that you would otherwise get) the cocktails and long drinks were simply bigger than expected, and the crowning glory was the super friendly and attentive staff that work there. So we'll be back soon. Thanks for the great evening 🤗🥰

Unfortunately we had to wait an extremely long time for our food (well over an hour) but it was worth the wait! It was super delicious!

Delicious food for a good price plus friendly service.

Since the new chef arrived, the food tastes much better. Our favorites are the Greek Club Sandwich and the Bifteki filled with feta. The Essbar is also our first port of call because it has the best Freddo Cappuccino in Aachen. Especially in summer you can sit outside and enjoy it. When it comes to service you have to be lucky, depending on who is there, everything runs like clockwork and you receive very friendly service.

The portions of the food could be a little larger, but Sven is a super friendly waiter and I love him, so it's a solid experience. The owner is also super nice and recognizes you straight away, I also celebrated my birthday here last year, and for me and my friends it was one of the best evenings in Aachen (of course it depends on the friends, mine are great <3 ) and we could all agree on that. Is highly recommended! :DD I mainly come here for the cocktails, in my opinion they are in the top 3 in Aachen, you won't be disappointed!

We were there today. Each of us had a different menu. You have to really say it and be honest. Everything was top. The size of the portion, the price and the ordering time were mega. A top 👍👍👍👍

The food was super delicious! The waiters were very nice, but unfortunately we had to wait well over an hour for our food (normal gyros, not rocket science) but it was worth the wait!

It was absolutely delicious, my wife had the minced steak filled with feta and I had the fish platter. Everything tasted delicious and the service was great. P.s. the lemonade was the tip!

Nice place for cocktails and different meals, the employees are friendly. Prices are medium, the interior of the place is very nice and clean. The small party style continues with nightly music on weekends.

Thanks to your professional and friendly service, you have saved me a bad evening twice now. Thank you!

Very large selection of products. Drinks as well as menu...

Super tasty, inexpensive food. Very nice friendly service. I can only recommend.

Wouldn’t eat here again even if it was for free.

Super delicious food. :-) Grill plate

Food was very tasty and service was very friendly

Super tasty food. Good ambiance 😊

A real favorite restaurant, delicious food (huge selection), extremely delicious cocktails 🍹😋 and great staff 👍

Great place, in the city center. Atmosphere and ambient are good. Service is kind and fast, efficient and helpful staff that speak great English. Every day you can eat here for 50% cheaper prices if you come until 17h. They have great prices. We ate giros ans big beer for 10e. Really recommend this place.

My favorite restaurant and the staff is great, especially Michelle the fast one, Markus, Sven, Armin, Sevi and the kitchen is fantastic. And the boss is so warm. Just always visit. I just love you 🥰

Tasty, inexpensive, good location.

Food was served hot. Maybe you should serve the salad separately. Staff friendly and helpful

Very good relaxed atmosphere, democratic prices.

The worst meal I have ever eaten, after half an hour you ended up on the pot, the food is really not recommended.

There were several people there and we all had a “steak” with fries/potatoes. No idea what that was. The cooking point (I had ordered medium) was completely missed (done) and the fries were far too short in the deep fryer. All in all: definitely not

There were three of us and the food was very tasty. I personally ordered a gyro plate. The waitress told me it could take 20 minutes because the meat still needed something. Ok, no problem, nice that we were informed. After an hour the lady came back, are you okay? Well, we actually wanted to eat something! Oh, I'll check with the kitchen. 10 minutes later. Sorry, we previously had a large order with 30 people who also ordered a lot of gyros. Another 20 minutes later my dinner was on the table. The service was always friendly, but we would have liked more attention.
