Finkenkrug in Duisburg

This is where the beer lover's heart goes out, even if some specialties have often been sold out recently. The numerous draft beers are all recommended without exception. Effort is made with the food, but you shouldn't expect a "revelation". Still tastes good 😉. Staff is friendly and serves promptly. Update of the review in December 2024: Card payments are finally accepted and although it should actually be standard everywhere these days, that's worth one more star to me 🙂

The place of hundreds of different beers, lively crowd, many students, great food. Come for the beers, stay for the atmosphere. Regular quiz nights and events.

Very cozy location, the service was attentive and friendly and there is a very large selection of beers. We didn't eat anything, so I can't comment on that.

Many different beers and good prices, also very good opening times

Great shop for years - one star deducted because you sometimes get the wrong glass - that's not possible in my opinion - the beer selection is huge but please in the right glass

Google review for Finkenkrug, Duisburg ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Finkenkrug in Duisburg is definitely an insider tip! I would particularly like to highlight the goulash soup – simply fantastic! Even at a late hour it is still hot and incredibly tasty, with great seasoning and tender pieces of meat. The perfect meal after a long day or for a cozy get-together with friends. Another highlight are the liqueurs that are served in the Finkenkrug. Very good quality, fruity and intense in taste. You can tell that people work here with heart and passion. The atmosphere in the Finkenkrug is also great – rustic and inviting, ideal for a relaxed evening. The service was friendly and attentive, so we felt completely at home. I can only recommend Finkenkrug – a great address for everyone who appreciates good food and good drinks!

I always enjoy going there. Fast and friendly service. At least one more visit is planned this year.

Hidden gem in Duisburg. If you stay in Duisburg, do not miss it! Usually crowdy at ~6pm.

I used to be a really enthusiastic Finkenkrug visitor. But whatever happened, the finch hasn't changed for the better. You're used to long waiting times when it comes to food. But what happened recently to me (or rather to us) is the last straw. We were there with 5 people. The service was bottom drawer. Some of the waiters didn't even speak German? Then wrong food was delivered. Cold and just lukewarm food was delivered. This was then discussed instead of taking the food back or reheating it. My food was showered with curry and after 30 minutes I had a stomach bug of death. According to the doctor, it was a real curry overdose (turmeric). I had 5 days of sick leave! I then turned to Finke. There was an apology and an offer of a voucher as compensation. I still thought, oh, very nice. 3 weeks later? Still no voucher. Everything is just blah. So you as customers have lost something to us.

Lovely bustling pub on a Saturday evening with 300 different beers to choose from. The prices range from €3-6 a beer and there is a range from Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Belgium and more countries. The service is fast and they are very attentive.

Great pub. If you like beer, this is the right place 😊. Always full on weekends, so always reserve a table in advance. The service is great. Big praise

Top Laden insbesondere wegen der Bierauswahl (ca. 200 Biere permanent auf Lager). Hin und wieder muss man damit rechnen, dass das ein oder andere Bier nicht verfügbar ist aber die Auswahl ist noch immer mehr als genug. Die Portionen sind beim Essen für die Preise nicht die größten, aber alles ist selbstgemacht und relativ frisch von daher verkraftbar, zudem gibt es für Fleischliebhaber wie auch Veganer und Vegetarier eine gute Auswahl. Vegetarische Biere werden als solche ausgewiesen und auf Wunsch kann man sich auch beraten lassen welche Speisen und Biere man als Vegetarier oder Veganer problemlos essen kann, das gleiche gilt für Gluten oder Laktose wer drunter leidet. Am Ende ist es aber kein Restaurant sondern eine Kneipe und genau davon lebt der Laden auch, es ist eine angenehme Kneipenatmosphäre und im Grunde ist dort immer was los. Alle 2 Wochen gibt es Montags ein Quiz und spezielle Events zum Tatort, ESC usw. einziges Manko Sport wird so gut wie nie übertragen. Auch wenn der Laden sehr groß ist und über 4 Räume plus Biergarten verfügt, kann es am Freitag oder Samstag mal vorkommen, das man ohne Reservierung mal keinen Platz mehr bekommt.

Typical student bar with a huge selection of beers.

Super cool student bar. Waiters are very nice. Food is very tasty. The selection of beer and sodas is huge. The only thing that's a bit annoying is that certain sodas or food are often not available or are permanently "sold out" or there are delivery problems.

The choice of food is very large. There are even vegetarian and vegan food options and a variety of beers. The staff is very friendly and on the ball. We would love to come back when we are in Duisburg again.

Good atmosphere, delicious food at fair prices

Iconic with class. Great service: attentive, approachable, professional. Kitchen was excellent.

Good pub with a very large, sometimes changing beer garden and also a sometimes changing menu. The waitresses are friendly, quick and attentive.

Old student bar that has existed since I can remember. Known for overwhelming number of beers. Unfortunately, more and more often lately, many of the beers on the menu are not available and Altbier is no longer available on tap, which I personally find very sad 😢. Times are changing.

Our local pub. Real. We always enjoy coming back.

Yesterday the four of us spontaneously visited. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back again. Great selection of beers, drinks and food. Staff was great. The atmosphere was great. There's enough to discover!

The first and last time after 5 years! Unfortunately, the orders were lost several times or the wrong drinks were brought. Fresh draft beers, non-carbonated and slightly stale. Unfortunately the invoice was also incorrect. In summary, it's simply much worse and more expensive than before!!!

Cozy pub with good food and an incredible number of beers. The crowd is friendly, the service is quick and very friendly. Great!

I will always come back to you. Thanks for the nice evening. 🥰

As always, very tasty food and delicious beers🍻

Simply a great pub with very friendly waiters and very good food and drinks!

We are always happy to be there. Everything is great. Service, food, everything was great.

Very nice pub. It's trendy and you can go there with a larger group 😁 Food and service very good. Highly recommended. I'll be back 😉

Lively pub. With many types of beer. You can eat. Staff are quick and keep an overview when the pub is super full. I would We recommend a reservation on Fridays and Saturdays.

Very generous portion and the spaetzle tasted very good.

The food was very tasty. Large selection of different beers from all over the world.

Super great shop. Great range and good food. Unfortunately only cash payment. Update: Card payments are now also possible

Great load Enjoy your meal Nope

After years of not being able to make it, I was finally able to be a guest at the Finkenkrug. There are lots of beers on tap and a hearty and homely menu. I had a Belgian goulash with a matching Belgian beer, both of which tasted really excellent. The service was very friendly and so forthcoming, I would be happy to come back.

After ordering our beer after 30 minutes it hadn't been received....

The food and beer were very good, the atmosphere is appropriate for a student bar and we really enjoyed sitting outside. Only the replenishment of beer could have worked better; When I asked to order another beer, I was greeted several times by the waiter with "I'll be right back" without him coming again. For example, a beer that was ordered wasn't brought at all and had to be ordered again after 20 minutes. Nevertheless, overall a good experience, I would happily go back and can recommend the Finkenkrug

A really nice restaurant, with friendly, courteous service, very tasty food and a large selection of drinks - favorite: coconut beer.

The food was pretty good, but the salad didn't feel fresh, quite large portions and very good flavor are worth the price, the service was quite fast and they didn't make us wait long. Maybe the negative point would be that there were a lot of people smoking cigarettes, but I understand why we were eating outside.

THE student pub in Duisburg - for current, former, historical students and those who want to become one. Great beer selection, really great cuisine, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. The beer garden in particular is really great. The promotional weeks are also always worth a visit. Or quite simply: a cross-generational place for encounters and exchanges.

Very cozy, very nice staff and the food was good too.

It's a great evening, the food was great and the service here too, there's nothing to complain about

Cooler in the sense of simple and uncomplicated, shop, very, very tasty food...also a lot for vegetarians or vegans, lots of different beers...all at a fair price!!!

Very cool place to meet up with friends. Mega nice selection of drinks! Potato snacks also super delicious. The service is very nice and the quiz evenings are also super cool. We'll be back!

We went there for breakfast and it was really tasty. What I found unfortunate was that the coffee was very thin and the service was very slow due to a lack of coordination. The food took a good three quarters of an hour to arrive. The cold drink order also took a good 15 minutes to arrive, even though the drinks were already ready to be picked up. But overall it was still quite pleasant, so we'll come back again

Great shop, great staff, great food, great selection. I don't know what could be done better!!! Always a pleasure to be there!!

Employees completely overwhelmed. Despite repeated requests, I waited 40 minutes before I could place the first order. Reordering drinks was also a game of roulette. After I said I wanted to pay, it took another 30 minutes. The waitress's answer was always the same: "Sorry, I forgot it." Employing students as waiters is a good thing. However, training should also be provided.

Just genius. I don't want to describe it any further here in words. You have to experience it to be believed. The beer garden, which you wouldn't expect at this point, is very cozy and unique in its kind in Duisburg. On top of that, the price and performance of food and drinks are also right. You don't believe that? Go and you will be taught otherwise.

Very interesting beer menu with a large selection of different - including international - beers. We didn't eat there, so no review. In terms of ambience, it feels like a student pub. Very relaxed.

The food and beer selection are really great here. The service is a bit hit and miss, some are very nice and capable, others not so much. But we'd love to come back!

We had a very nice evening there! Happy to come back! Very nice beer garden. Incredible selection of beers. The burger was super delicious! We recommend!

Very large selection of beers from all over the world! You can also eat delicious food. The fries were great! Public viewing at sporting events in the beer garden. Top service (also speak English), fair prices and a disco ball in the men's toilet ;) absolute local recommendation :)

Very tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere - we felt very comfortable

If you're more interested in eating here than enjoying the huge, good beer selection, there's good news: Yes, the food is really good. The small downside is that for 3 euros you only get half a handful of fries and the good dipping sauces also cost extra. Yes, you get full, but then you're always over 20 euros just for food. Then a beer!

Very large selection of beers at good prices. The onion schnitzel was excellent, also at a good price. Plus very nice, unobtrusive service. We had a very pleasant evening and would love to come back.

Nice pub with a nice terrace, many types of beer, delicious food and friendly service. Despite the rain, you can sit outside under large umbrellas. We used to be here for training and studies and now I'm going there with my 17 year old daughter, it's funny

Great food and a wide range of beer specialties, no wonder the shop is popular with students.

So really inconspicuous but cool place!! Great food and lots of beer selection! Above all, the staff are in a very good mood and the atmosphere is great

Very good food and all kinds of different beers. Everything is very good.

Great student bar. What we unfortunately notice regularly: the service tends to take a long time. What we are also very behind on: no card payment possible!!

Very nice pub with a huge selection of beers, even for my mother, who has a gluten intolerance, there was a beer selection

Cute pub, nice staff and a huge selection of beers.

Cheeseburger to go, I'm still feeling bad 🤢

Super pleasant atmosphere and very large beer selection. Absolute favorite bar The burgers and salads were also very, very good Update 2024: even after a few, still my favorite pub in Duisburg. There is now even card payment, the future has also arrived at Finkenkrug ;) there is also an expanded vegan offering and a continued huge selection of delicious beers. 10/10 Here’s to many more years of good beer and good food

A must in Duisburg. That's where I like KöPi the best in all of Duisburg. It's a shame they swapped the pita bread from the burgers for brioche. It used to be my favorite burger ever. But the food is still fantastic. Always a cool, nice atmosphere.

High selection of beers with good prices. Very nice atmosphere and live football match broadcast.

Great ambience and super delicious food! We definitely recommend Lindemans Kriek Kirsche 😍

It was always four stars because of the lack of card payment options. But these are now available and the rest is still correct

Simply a great shop! Huge selection of beer, good and tasty non-alcoholic drinks. Good selection of dishes that are very tasty. The atmosphere is great, whether outside, in the pub or in the "winter garden", very cozy, you feel comfortable. I'm always happy to come back!

Perfect through and through. All the employees are so incredibly friendly that I'm just happy to come and receive the nice service. You get the feeling that the working atmosphere internally is really good. A true paradise for alcohol drinkers and also for non-alcohol drinkers you will always find what you are looking for. The waiters can usually recommend something or you can play roulette on the menu with thousands of types of beer. In the winter season, the pub quiz evening on Mondays is highly recommended. Mood is great. Food is top. When the weather is good in the summer season, the beer garden is open and there are occasional parties on certain occasions. For those who get hungry late in the evening when the kitchen is already closed, you will still find dishes on the menu that you can order in the evening - these are also highly recommended, even if the kitchen is still open 🤓 The weekly menu changes regularly and is usually adapted to a specific theme. Breakfast on the weekend is also highly recommended. I really don't know what there is to complain about with the Finkenkrug and the fact that the Finkenkrug has been around forever reinforces the assumption even more ☺️ All regular customers can definitely confirm this! I love it here! As the saying goes. You come as a guest & leave as a friend ☺️

Great beer selection, delicious food. The waitress wasn't that bright, but I think she was new.

Still an Inn shop, this time we had to wait a long time outside for drinks. 1 hour.. Prices, drinks, ambience.. all good

We were there with a group. The selection of beers was more than plentiful and everything was delivered very quickly. The burgers were good and large, but the burger was only slightly spicy. Basically, but very tasty. You can say that the price performance is still right here. Unfortunately there is no parking space. Importantly, the place doesn't look like anything from the outside, but once you're inside, it's really great.

Really cool concept, everyone who likes to drink beer and wants to drink internationally without traveling abroad will be happy here. Prices are lower than at beer fairs/events, for example, and the wide catalog makes it possible to drink in a very diverse way. The food is also very good, with classics like burgers, but also a very good bouillabaisse or an excellent onion roast. The toilets are also very interesting ^^

Finally, card payments are also possible. Lots of beer selection, relaxed atmosphere. The audience is mixed, so there is something for everyone. It is also very loud on weekends.

Excellent atmosphere great service

Had another lovely evening at the Finkenkrug! :) Special praise goes out to the cook! The vegetarian and vegan dishes are really creative! You also notice that when tofu is used in different dishes, it is also seasoned differently! The weekly menu used enoki mushrooms instead of normal mushrooms! As a vegetarian you can just tell that a lot of effort is being put into it and you can see and taste it too 💕🤤

Great pub with nice service and lots of different types of beer. Highly Recommended!

Large selection of beer, mostly friendly and good service. The food has always been good so far. 5 stars are given if card payment is possible.

Breakfast is a 10/10. Unbeatable value for money.

Always worth a visit just for the selection of draft beers!

Huge selection of drinks, delicious food

36 beers on tap. Great varieties that you won't find anywhere else. The best way to eat is to order a burger. There are many variations.

The service was very friendly, attentive and competent. With five people at the table, the orders were assigned correctly without asking, even though the restaurant was busy and the waitress had to look around at several tables. There are a full five stars for this. The cuisine is good, the dishes are deliciously prepared and beautifully presented. The ambience corresponds to that of a "student pub" - it is quite loud when it is full. In the front area it is significantly cooler than in the guest room, and the smoke comes in from the outside area. If the door is opened frequently, then the perception is more that it is a smoking club. May 2024

Cozy pub for all generations, predominantly young crowd. Large selection of beers. Food tastes good too. There may be waiting times during peak times. Service mostly friendly and accommodating. Card payment possible.

Cool atmosphere, every beer you can imagine, service is good and above all relaxed. The food is always really tasty and in the winter months there is a pub quiz - super fun! In summer there is the beer garden, which is beautifully decorated. Only recommended!

The Finkenkrug is a kind of student bar, with food on offer and many types of beer. For my part, I was overwhelmed by all the different types of beer. It was a lot of fun to test your way through some of these. I'll definitely stop by every now and then.

A relatively hidden, wonderful gastro pub with an incredibly wide range of beers and, above all, a unique breakfast menu from many different countries. We opted for the British breakfast, a first class choice! The breakfast was very tasty, rich and attractively prepared. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was appropriate, especially since we were able to sit in the beer garden when the weather was very good. We will definitely visit the gastro pub again.

The first impression isn't great at first, but you can't complain about the service and the food.

Always happy to sit together, try out beers and find something good to eat, as the weekly menu provides constant and good variety. That's why it doesn't get boring even if you come back often...my beer of the season Vitus from Weihenstefan...off to the beer garden season!

I clearly say it's the best place if you want to switch off the lights with colleagues or just enjoy good food with a good beer. Always my number one restaurant

Extensive selection of drinks, especially different types of beer. Menu with vegan and gluten-free options. Good value for money. Friendly and attentive service staff.

Wonderful shop. Large selection of beers... also from the barrel. Everyone will find what they are looking for here. The food is also delicious.. The burgers are recommended.. they not only look good but also taste good.

Huge selection of beers, unfortunately the two of us only grabbed half of the draft beers. I have to go there again. Food looked great, unfortunately I was already full. Staff was quick and very nice.

I always enjoy going to the Finkenkrug! I was definitely here more often when I was still at the University of DUE, but even now it's always nice to study the beer menu! It's just a shame that this has now been reduced to a list view ;)

Mega location super great great staff quick polite and great

Rustic, original, huge selection of beer and drinks, very busy, therefore noisy.

We were thrilled! Food was super tasty, burgers, fries and the desserts were really good! The beers were all cold and fizzy, as were the bottled ciders! (Especially Brothers Toffe Apple Cider is a real highlight!) Prices are okay, if a bit high, the staff is friendly but really busy! Clean toilets, card payment possible. Only the volume in the front "glass room" is really extreme, which is much more pleasant in the rest of the finch pitcher. Games can be rented for a deposit. We'll definitely be back!!!

Enjoy your meal. Good service. Unfortunately it is very loud here and you can't understand your own words. Would recommend the Finkenkrug, simply cult.

As always, it was great...the food, the quick, friendly service. They gave us good suggestions and tips given the huge selection of beers...always happy...

Price and performance are good And it was always adjusted A very good atmosphere and suitable for the location as it is close to the university
