Haus Unkelbach in Köln

Conveniently, the tram stops right in front of the door - traveling by public transport is recommended if you want to drink a Kölsch or eleven and you don't have to find a parking space. Long established, good quality food and friendly service. Fits.

Great Cologne brewery. Rustic atmosphere and very friendly staff. You just feel comfortable and welcome. There is delicious Kölsch and good food. A great place for a social time.

Typical Cologne brewery. Simply nice for a nice evening in a small or large group. Classic Cologne and Rhenish specialties, simply delicious and traditional cuisine. In my opinion not suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans. Great service, the ladies and gentlemen in service are on their toes and always friendly. A successful stay with the thought “I would like to come back”.

We met up with the family and had a lovely time in the Unkelbach house. Nice old inn.

We ordered a Viennese veal schnitzel and were very disappointed. For one thing, it was very small, dry, and the breading was soggy. Without my daughter's remaining fries, I wouldn't have been full. It was absolutely not worth the price. The service, however, was very friendly and helpful. My husband's veal currywurst was much better. So it's better not to order expensive food.

Haus mit netter Atmosphäre, aber mit bestelltem Tisch nicht vorbereitet, obwohl wir 10 min später da waren. Ich würde nicht empfehlen, das Wiener Schnitzel zu nehmen. Es sind zwei kleine trockene Stückchen mit einer Panade, die nicht knusprig war. Von der Dimension wurden aus einem Schnitzel 3 gemacht. Die Beschreibung mit Sardellen und Kapern müsste zutreffenderweise heißen, mit Sardelle und Kaper … es war also Kartoffelsalat mit Schnitzelbeilage für 29 Euro. Lieber was einfaches, günstiges nehmen, dann ist es nicht so schlimm, wenn gefühlt TK zum Einsatz kommt.

Das Schnitzel sah aus und schmeckte wie TK Kost, der Salat wie Fertigmischung aus der Tüte. Normalerweise ist es da guter Durchschnitt aber am 20.9. war das Essen wirklich schlecht. Zumindest war das Reissdorf Kölsch lecker und der Service ganz gut.

Quaint restaurant with beer garden and bowling alley. Very polite staff and very tasty food. Always worth a visit.

I went to Haus Unkelbach for the first time on a Tuesday to eat Rievekooche. Since I'm limited with what I can eat, I asked if you could have rievekooche instead of the fried potatoes with the roast beef. And it wasn't an issue. How delicious was that 😋😋😋!!! Plus, it was a great summer evening and the service was so nice. I'll come back when I get the chance, definitely to eat Rievekooche and I would order the same combination again!!

Delicious food and quick service 👍🏽

Food good and very decent portions. Service very attentive and friendly.

Actually you have to judge two things, beer garden and restaurant: delicious food. At least good Cologne cuisine, nice service, great beer garden with atmosphere, secondly the bowling alley, I would only like to give it one point, a completely outdated bowling alley in which the chairs have not been replaced for 45 years. Unfortunately, I also have to report that it even smelled slightly of vomit. The air was so stuffy and the whole thing was so late 70s style, apparently nothing has been done since then that one of us with asthma even had problems breathing... Sorry, I'm sorry, I'd like to write something else. As I said above, everything is great, the beer garden etc. but the bowling alley, something urgently needs to be done here so as not to damage the reputation of Haus Unkelbach.

It was a very nice evening out in the yard. The staff was very nice even if it sometimes took a bit longer. The food was very tasty and gluten-free was no problem.

The Reissdorf Kölsch brewery bar is my favorite destination when I'm in Cologne with guests. The beer garden is always full. Classic dishes of matjes, half rooster and schnitzel are all included.

When we arrived we got a seat very quickly. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for drinks. We were actually hungry, unfortunately no one brought us a menu or asked if we wanted to eat anything

es iwar im Biergarten unglaublich laut gewesen!!! Die Geräuchkulisse war sehr störend Das hat niemanden am Tisch (8 Personen) gefallen.

I have lived in Cologne-Sülz since 2004 and have been to Unkelbach countless times. I always thought it was great there, delicious food, friendly staff and a diverse crowd. But unfortunately the rabbit is gone, that's his real name. Was practically Alex's right hand man Manek. Now his successor is an attractive but arrogant and unfriendly long-time waiter. His manner always makes me uncomfortable...the other employees are very nice. The food has been very tasty so far, but this time I had the feeling that the chicken breast in my salad was fried in a pan that had previously been used to fry fish...I practically had fish-flavored chicken breast. I told the waiter this...He wanted to pass it on to the kitchen...I didn't get any response. The beer garden has become more and more beautiful in recent years, but the interior is no longer nice for my taste...no more pictures on the walls...just bare walls in the back area. I would rather go somewhere else in the future

Very good restaurant that I can recommend without hesitation. The service was very good. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the prices were normal.

Cozy restaurant with fine service and good food.

Tolles Etablissement. Wir waren draußen im Biergarten. Obwohl die Bedienungen viel zu tun hatten, waren sie sehr schnell und freundlich. Essen sehr lecker (ich hatte Himmel un Ääd).

We always enjoy being here both indoors and outdoors.

Our visit lasted exactly 1:20 minutes - then a deeply unfriendly waiter showed up - we left immediately. Not for families with children. Thanks. No.

We were there at 32 degrees with two small children. We briefly moved a table outside to accommodate a children's chair. Incredibly unfriendly and stroppy comment (“does the table stay here like that?!” “didn’t really think much of it”). Untypical for Cologne and just downright unpleasant. NOT recommended for families with children!!!

Alles top, nette Kellner, leckeres Essen, schöne Location (draußen) und mit 35€/Person für Essen und Trinken gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis Verhältnis.

Es war ein super Abend und auf allen Ebenen 5/5 Sterne!

Been there for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, delicious food. Only the timing was a bit bad, it was rush hour and so the waiting time for the food was a little longer. But with the best weather and a secure supply of drinks, it was bearable.

Erstmalig dort gewesen und angenehm überrascht. Sehr schöne Atmosphäre, sehr freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen. Lediglich der Zeitpunkt war etwas ungünstig, es war Stoßzeit und somit war die Wartezeit auf das Essen etwas länger. Aber bei bestem Wetter und gesichertem Getränkenachschub war das gut auszuhalten.

Rustic inn with a bowling alley and delicious, hearty food. Portions perfect (maybe a little too small for very hungry people). Fresh fries, mayo and ketchup are free. Most of the service staff are very nice and attentive, exceptions prove the rule (hence only 4 stars). But would still come back.

Wir lieben Haus Unkelbach, gut wie immer, alles bestens :)

Guten Tag Wir haben am 2.8 einen Tisch für 5 Personen bestellt zum FC schauen mit Essen. Essen alles ok. Unser Service funktionierte überhaupt nicht mehrfach mussten wir nach vorne und dort bestellen auch machbar. Nach Abpfiff wollten wir heim, Während des Bezahlen im Eingangsbereich kam der mangelhafte Service zur Sprache meine Frau sagte das unserem Tischservice . plötzlich tauchte eine ,ca 1,6 m große schwarzehaarige Servicekraft max. 35 Jahre alt auf und mischte sich frech,aggressiv laut Schimpfend in unseren Bezahlvorgang und dem Service Gespräch ein Wir als Gäste wurden von dieser Dame frech gemaßregelt weshalb wir uns beschweren würden , sie hat behauptet nichts mitbekommen und sich ins höfliche Beschwerde Gespräch eingemischt, Diese Dame redete sehr laut und meinte mich Dutzen zu können, was ich mir aufgrund ihrer unhöflich Art mit der Frage „ seit wann wir uns dutzen würde „ beantwortet!! Das war Zuviel für die unhöfliche Dame Wir standen zu 5 Gästen mit den beiden Service Kräften im Gespräch Aus heiterem Himmel schrie die schwarzhaarige ,die mir mit ca 1 m Abstand gegenüber stand , fassen Sie mich nicht an !!!!! Das in einer Gesprächsrunde mit 7 Personen!! Daraufhin tauchte ein schwarzhaariger Mann mit lockigem Haar ca Mitte 20 auf der alles nur gehört haben konnte und drängte mich gewaltsam und drohend mit den Worten“ hier wird niemand betatscht „ ca 30 m über der Hof zur Straße. Meine Freunde erledigten die Rechnung. Ich selbst bin 70 Jahre habe den ganzen Abend nur Cola getrunken,meine Kinder zw,30 und 40. Ich habe diese freche Servicekraft zu keinem Zeitpunkt berührt. Die Unverschämtheit eine derartige Behauptung aufzustellen mit der Reaktion des Kellners mich aus dem Lokal zu begleiten ist eine Frechheit. Eine größere Familienfeier wird nun anderweitig organisiert.

Good food and cold Kölsch. You can eat great outside, but inside it's very dark and not comfortable. Staff could be a bit friendlier

Die armen Servicekräfte, die waren heute richtig im Stress. Alle nett, aber sehr in Eile. Der Biergarten war super voll und daher dauerte es etwas mit der Bestellung. Es war auch sehr, sehr laut. Das Essen ist lecker, die Portionen groß. Die Preise sind angemessen. Die Karte bietet neben den üblichen Brauhausgerichten viele vegetarische und auch vegane Speisen.an. Auch schön, dass diese um saisonale Angebote erweitert wird. Das ist wunderbar. Wir kommen öfter.

Reservierung hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Location ist schön gestaltet, der Biergarten hat eine schöne Atmosphäre (ist aber etwas laut, da Innenhof), auch wenn die obligatorische Kastanie fehlt. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, das Essen lecker und preislich angemessen.

Very tasty cuisine, vegetarian and vegan options are also possible, some of the staff are unfriendly Card payment possible

sind immer sehr gerne da und kommen immer gerne wieder

Unkelbach is as much a part of Cologne as the cathedral. Old brewery with German cuisine. The food is OK. Not overwhelming, but tasty. The brewery is known for its legendary carnival parties.

Die Haxe war Hammer, das Bier kam zügig und die Bedienung freundlich. Gerne wieder!

Haus Unkelbach war einfach Spitze, wir gehen gerne dort hin, weil einfach alles passt.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden das Essen hat sehr lecker geschmeckt

Very cozy place, big portions, nice people

Jeder der die kölsche Art mag ist hier genau richtig . Leckeres Bier , gutes Essen, nette Leute und eine mega klasse Bedienung . Trotz heftigem Regen sind wir im Biergarten geblieben und hatte sehr viel Spaß 👍👍👍

Was there for public viewing Everything fine

Immer wieder wunderbar. Freundlicher Service - leckeres Essen. Besonderer Dank an die sympathische Dame, die sich um die WCs kümmert und für Kinder einen Korb voller Süßigkeiten bereit hält!

Impolite staff, they tried to have us sit at a terrible table although there were dozens of better ones. And the way the waiter talked to us was so cringe and arrogant. If you call that area of your place a "biergarten", you can't simply prevent people from sitting at the tables that seem to be available. When I said that I would not like to sit at the shown table, he arrogantly asked "why". Well, you are not supposed to question our preferences... What a terrible service...My answer was "because it is a "saturday meal" and deserves a bit more respect". Educate your young personnel before losing further "stammkunden" ! My friends and I (we are locals in Sülz) will never come back again.

Very good service !!! Person friendly and accommodating!

Typisch Kölsches Brauhaus im Veedel. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Delicious Kölsch and food. Great service (female) who was always very friendly despite being busy

Great beer garden and totally courteous top service.

Einfach genial vom Service Personal bis zum Essen

Delicious food, friendly service, an institution. Very tasty salad - and of course everything for meat lovers.

Oh well. After many years we were once again in Unkelbach. Service still good and friendly. We had bacon pancakes three times and currywurst once. The bacon pancakes all looked different and were clearly below average. We've had much better elsewhere. The currywurst tasted so-so and was way too expensive at over 14 euros. The Kölsch price of €2.40 is absolutely inappropriate for the location. So we weren't surprised that the restaurant was only lightly attended on Saturday evening. Things used to be completely different. In any case, we won't be coming back any time soon.

Ein super Abend mit super essen! Ganz tolle zuvorkommende Bedienung!

The food and kölsch were delicious. Unfortunately, my companion was mostly ignored at the kölsch, hence the 2nd one.

The breaded beer coach cutlet is a poem: the meat was super tender and juicy. The taste is fantastic. The side dishes are excellent. The price-performance ratio is right here! Plus ice-cold, delicious Reissdorf. Definitely recommended.

Pretty inn in the middle of the row of houses on a 4-lane main road. Beautiful beer garden in the courtyard and a rustic atmosphere in the restaurant, a diverse selection of food, mostly Rhenish specialties, but also vegetarian options. Service was attentive and friendly, Kölsch always arrived quickly, the meal took 45 minutes, but it was also full and it was a sunny Sunday.

Largely tourist-free, typical brewery. Nobody has to die of thirst, the Köbes is nice and fast. Food as you would expect in a brewery. Despite the beer garden being full, service also works indoors. Reissdorf on tap is delicious. Gladly again soon.

The service is friendly and the atmosphere is really nice, especially outside. The food is also very tasty.

The beer was delicious, and the fried Haksen, Jägerschnitzel, blood sausage, and seasonal asparagus were all delicious. It's not salty or salty. Haksen said that the Korean friend who lived in Germany for a long time was really delicious.

Rustic Kölsche brewery with delicious dishes. The Kölsch intake also fits

Nicht schlecht, nicht gut. Habe schon besser gegessen. Meine Käsespätzle waren durchschnittlich. Ich bekomme sie besser hin. Die Lokalität draußen sah nett aus. Drinnen hat es mir nicht gefallen. Harte Holzbänke ohne Flair. Wie gesagt, ich bin besseres gewohnt.

We went there on a Tuesday evening. An almost eerily rustic brewery. Optically it suits my taste perfectly. I had basically sworn off Reissdorf Kölsch since my studies, but I made an exception for the freshly tapped one. I ended up liking it more than I originally thought. Let's get to food. Very tasty and generous portions. Actually had to struggle with the portion even though I'm a seasoned eater. The schnitzel had a good breading and the meat was also good. Was perfect brewery fare. There was a bit of a lack of salt & pepper, but the man is himself. I have made no secret of this and everyone can add seasonings as they wish. What surprised me very positively was the diverse menu. My companion eats a vegetarian diet, so the brewery-style menu was even adapted to include meatless, classic alternatives. We really liked it. I even managed to convince my partner to come and visit me. Not the last time.

Completely overrated and too expensive when you offer 80% prefabricated goods from Remagen.

Very good food and very friendly service.

Drinnen urig und gemütlich und draußen: Sehr schöner und gemütlicher Biergarten, den man bei gutem Wetter genießen kann. In Kombination mit der sehr breiten Karte auf der Jeder was finden sollte…. Absolute Empfehlung!

Very nice beer garden, we were very happy with the food. Particularly noteworthy is the top service 👍 a young team of service staff, all very attentive and extremely committed. Nobody stood there looking stupid, everyone was always in action and super friendly. You can only feel good there.

Schöner Biergarten, wir haben sehr gut gegessen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der top Service. Sehr engagierte junge Leute, haben alles im Blick, sind freundlich und sehr auf Zack. Eine Freude, zu sehen, dass Service so gut gehen kann.

Kölsch top chilled. Food ok, seasoned too weakly. Service after the change was terrible. They went relatively quickly after that.

If you want something fresh on your plate, you shouldn't eat here. There is a lot of work with TK products. And then prices like that too. Disgrace!!!

Food recommended, waiter a bit overwhelmed

Wie immer... ...und immer wieder! Bis zum nächsten mal! Die Haxe ist nur schlecht für die Figur. :-)) (Gibt´s Montags halt Diät!)

Large outdoor area, nice atmosphere and food that is completely OK. Unfortunately, the service usually leaves a lot to be desired. If I stand at the "please wait here" sign for 2.3 minutes without any of the service staff walking around greeting me or at least looking at me, I simply don't feel welcome. Instead of a nice greeting, I received a “Please wait here!” I snapped when I took two steps towards the many free tables... despite the "understaffing" it was enough for that. A pity. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions, but the rule, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this. I would really like to come here regularly, but it's just not fun. If I as a guest have the feeling that I am a burden (including the last lap 30 minutes before closing time), then I can go somewhere else and spend my money there.

One of the best breweries in Cologne. Good, hearty cuisine, good service, rustic atmosphere.

Generally a great place to stay. It's just a brewery. The beer garden is the best thing here. Events are great and worth a visit even in winter, as there is a small “Christmas market” outside. It's quaint inside, and when the house is full you can easily be overlooked, but that's still within limits.

es war für meine Gesellschaft (lauter ältere Leute) etwas zu laut. Alles andere war in Ordnung,. Sie sollten die Bewertung Ihres Angebots nicht so sehr durch schwierige Erreichbarkeit gefährden, Ich war zwischendurch versucht, aufzugeben und zu sagen: Sie wollen offensichtlich nicht bewertet werden, Nun hat es am Ende doch geklappt. Freundliche Grüße Christiane Hoss

Quite ok for a few Kölsch. Food is a matter of taste. There are better breweries there.

Mega beautiful old brewery (pub) with a very nice ambience. You just have to visit it and drink a delicious Kölsch in the beer garden. Top

I was here for the second time, the food was really delicious, surprisingly, there are more than vegetarian dishes, the staff was nice and friendly, I can recommend it

Absolutely not recommended for eating asparagus. The asparagus was still very firm to the bite, sometimes even bitter. The potatoes tasted and looked like they had been reheated in the microwave. Unfortunately, an absolute disappointment at the start of the asparagus season.

A typical Cologne beer garden. Very nice.

Real traditional Cologne restaurant with authentic brewery character. A popular Cologne hotspot not only in the 5th season. The guests tend to be young and young at heart who appreciate this Cologne atmosphere. This also attracts guests from all over Cologne and the surrounding area. If you don't want to drive to the breweries in the city center, Haus Unkelbach has a great offer.

Wir waren gestern mit Freunden im Unkelbach, weil wir Lust auf ein klassisches Brauhaus hatten und das Haus Unkelbach recht urig ist. Ich war vorher etwas irritiert, weil die letzten Bewertungen hier recht negativ waren, doch wir wurden alle positiv überrascht. Meine Frau hatte ein schön crosses Cordon Blue, unsere Begleitung hatten Roastbeef und ein Traum von einem Rumpsteak mit perfekt getroffenem Garpunkt (Medium/rare) und anständiger hausgemachter Kräuterbutter. Ich hatte ein Schnitzel mit Pfeffersoße. Wenn ich etwas zu bemängeln hätte, dann dass die Soße nicht separat kam. Die Pommes waren super knusprig und Mayo und Ketchup gab es nicht in Tütchen, sondern in Quetschflaschen. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam. Als er sah, dass ich nix mehr aus der Mayoflasche rausbekam, dank meiner gierigen Freunde... Lol... kam er umgehend mit einer neuen versiegelten Flasche an den Tisch. Preisleistung war top und so auch unser Abend. Wir kommen definitiv wieder und dann nehme ICH das Steak.

The vegan asparagus dishes were incredibly delicious. Very cozy beer garden.

Wir waren am Sonntag zum Mittagessen dort. Gleichzeitig fand eine Feier mit vielen Gästen im vorderen Bereich statt. Ich habe "Himmel und Ääd" bestellt, was ich schon in verschiedenen Lokalen gegessen habe. Hier war es einfach nur grässlich. Mein Eindruck war, es war vom Vortag und in der Mikrowelle etwas aufgewärmt. Das Meiste habe ich zurück gegeben.

Traditional, actually nice gastronomy. But absolutely completely overpriced. Bowling alley chairs are worn out and dirty but the prices are absolutely in the upper range. Uncomprehending and uncompromising service completes this arrogant manner.

War alle sehr gut, .... wir hatten eine Menge Spaß mit der Familie... Jederzeit wieder...

We wanted to have delicious asparagus for lunch and accordingly ordered boiled potatoes with asparagus and hollandaise sauce, with a veal schnitzel. The food took a while and was only moderately warm. The asparagus probably never saw the asparagus pot, at least it was still very firm to the bite, and not just for us. The potatoes looked very strange, yellow/dark yellow spots, small and peeled very smoothly. The assumption here is that these are ready-made potatoes, like the ones you get in a jar in the supermarket. All in all it was a disappointment for us.

Wir waren zum wiederholten Mal im Brauhaus Unkelbach. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Jägerschnitzel with fries was very tasty and a nice big portion 😋 The staff are all very friendly and offer very good service to the guests Bowling was also a lot of fun ☺️

My review: RECOMMENDATION....( + 97 / 100 )

Tolle Location! Super nettes Personal, sehr leckeres Essen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Good quality food but limited variety. Ambiance of a Rhenish brewery, always good

Cologne classics away from the mainstream breweries in the city center. Good food, good service, everything was great.

Wie immer: alles super! 😀 Leckeres Essen - schneller und freundlicher Service! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch! 🤩🤩🤩

Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere. Gladly again.

Nice service, good food, top brewery

I only knew Unkelbach from carnival. We recently ended up here late on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy, the conditions were brisk and friendly, and the food was better than I expected. Points are deducted for the pricing, but unfortunately that is now the case in many places. Four stars.

Extremly good. From A to Z. Perfect store

The schnitzel was dry and the fries were simply too salty. Simply underground.

A quaint restaurant that serves delicious food at fair prices. What is particularly worth mentioning is the friendly service. All in all, highly recommended!!!
