Hellers Brauhaus in Köln

It's been a long time since I've been to such a guest-friendly and, above all, child-friendly restaurant.

Compared to the breweries in the center, the quality of the food was not good. The waiter was nice, but needed help with the number of guests.

We were there with a group of 12 people and unfortunately five didn't think the food was good - not well seasoned and unimaginative. It's a shame because the location is very nice and the service is very friendly. In addition, the mirrors in the women's toilets take a lot of getting used to 😁

Nothing special, the food is not worth the purchase. Waiter too agitated and rude for serving 2 tables. We could do better... so much better

We had a lovely evening with good live music and delicious food! Oh - and with delicious beer, of course!

Beer actually something different, not bad, but the rest was unfortunately catastrophic. The food was just greasy, no taste, just greasy, and the service was there, but they weren't nice or particularly attentive. The food was paid for, but it was also the last time you were there. Unfortunately, the waiter is not capable of criticism.

I went there for dinner with a few friends. The atmosphere was really nice and the Kölsch was good too. It's just a shame that the food was a real disappointment. I had the schnitzel with wild mushroom sauce, fries and a side salad. The two schnitzels were almost black and of course didn't taste great and that wasn't an isolated case because some people at our table had the schnitzel and they all looked like that. The side salad didn't come in a separate bowl as you're used to but on the plate, which of course meant that the lukewarm fries were completely soaked with the dressing and it was simply no longer edible.

The portions are good, the atmosphere too, but the food is so-so for the price

Not bad at all, with a modern twist. Really liked their wheat beer, but it only comes in larger glass 0.33ml, when asked for a smaller 0.20ml, waiter said that's impossible, so a bit disappointed. Overall not bad place when its quiet. As this place is in the students area and gets really busy.

We arrived Saturday evening around 9:30 p.m. the Kölsch was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. You can eat very quickly, but the red cabbage, dumplings and sauerkraut in our three dishes were completely overcooked and mushy. It must have been kept warm for a long time. It shouldn't have been served like that. Only the knuckle was tasty, although a little too salty. But overall wouldn't come back because of the quality of the food.

I was at Brauhaus Hellers today and I have to say that the service was below average. The food was also not at the level that is usual in a good brewery in Cologne. I wouldn't go there again.

Contrary to some prejudices: Köbes can also be friendly (like here) without their status as Köbes

Very tasty Kölsch. It's a shame that it will soon no longer be brewed. Mettbrötchen were very tasty and plentiful. The knuckle was huge and delicious. The atmosphere was great, lots of plants, great hall.

Nice place, good and friendly service

A slightly particular brewery in its environment (with tropical greenhouse-type plants) and simple. Quite long waiting times, being a pub and having been on a weekday (how long will you have to wait if you go when the place is full? I waited more than half an hour after ordering to eat). Apart from this, if you are not in a hurry, the wait is worth it (I ate Biergeschnetzeltes, a kind of pork stew, very soft meat with beer sauce, very creamy, accompanied by stewed red cabbage with apple, very good!)

Classy, ​​cozy, great service. Gladly again

Nice brewery with organic Kölsch I think it's good that Kölsch is now also available in organic quality. In my opinion a right and good step!! The restaurant looks rustic and the Köbes is friendly. We enjoyed the very tasty beer (with organic ingredients), especially the Kölsch and the Wiess (a wheat beer). There is still room for improvement when it comes to the taste of the food – and the selection of vegetarian dishes. We'd love to come back.

Rustic brewery, good staff, food, drinks, ambience ok.

In any case, it's great to come here in larger groups if you're reasonably hungry! The portions are generous and the waiters are quick. There is also a whole barrel that you can order for those who are a little thirstier.

A place where it might be useful to book. Good traditional Cologne meal. Friendly and kind service. Great atmosphere.

A really rustic Cologne brewery with, of course, the Cologne national dish “Himmel und Ääd”. Always a good atmosphere and friendly, quick service.

My review: RECOMMENDATION....( + 87 / 100 )

Always good... we're always happy to be there again.

Delicious Hellers Kölsch in a cozy atmosphere, good Cologne brewery cuisine, attentive staff...always worth a visit

This was an incredibly disappointing experience. My friends and I chose to come here for an easy dinner because the pictures online looked so cute. Upon arriving we were sat quickly and we all enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant but it took a turn quick when we realized our waiter was not as friendly as he seemed. He recommended we get 11 beers for 8 people. 3 of which did not want to drink. We let him know we only wanted 5 and he brought out 11 anyway. When our food came out it was all low quality and not good. The grand total came out to €190 for everyone. When I went to pay the waiter told me I needed to tip. After I said “no” 3 times I gave in and tipped him €10 bringing the total up to €200. Overall we paid €200 for disgusting food and beer we didn’t want.

We liked it, very rustic. Unfortunately, beer production will soon stop.

Extremely disappointing for what we paid. The beer was not good and the pork was all fat. The only edible thing was the potatoes. We were pressured to pay more because we "were Americans and Americans tip." It didn't deserve a tip. It didn't even deserve to be paid for. The decor was nice. That's the only positive.

I am very disappointed with my meal here. My group and I came this evening. My food was inedible. We told our waiter we only wanted 5 beers and he brought us 11 and charged us that much. He then demanded we give him a tip after we tried saying no three times. If you are an American and want a German meal, this is not the place. We spent over $200 and it wasn't worth it. I am very disappointed with my meal here. My group and I came this evening. My food was inedible. We told our waiter we only wanted 5 beers and he brought us 11 and charged us that much. He then demanded we give him a tip after we tried saying no three times. DON'T COME HERE!

We had a terrible meal, i was sick the whole night. Service was patchy, Never again

Very nice there. But unfortunately the vegetarian portions are quite small. They all cost €10 less than the meat dishes, but that's why you can't order two because otherwise there won't be enough. ;D

Hellers is a not-so-usual brewery. When you enter the building it has the appearance of a beer garden. Lots of plants hanging from the ceilings and solid tables. Something new. The volume is a little more moderate than in a normal brewery. You just have to get used to the “silence at a higher level”. All in all, we had a really nice evening with very nice, rustic service as usual. Standard Kölsch is delicious. It's always worth taking a look at the beer menu. Lots of special and seasonal beers. (The alt on offer is probably more of a joke. But it tastes like you're trying to drive away people from Düsseldorf (and rightly so). Unfortunately, most of the food came out of a bag. But the prices were also moderate. I would go there again and again if I ever had a chance I don't feel like being in a narrow and loud brewery (it rarely happens but people aren't getting any younger) Addendum: I was at Hellers again after years. Unfortunately I have to say the quality of the food has deteriorated even more last time. I don't expect top cuisine at the Bauhaus, but this is now really a disgrace. The prices are already suspiciously low, but for a bridal outfit that advertises its organic certified Kölsch, it is a real disgrace to use preservatives in almost every food and even flavor enhancers in some. When I asked if the Bearnaise sauce on the vegetables was homemade, I was surprised to hear a "yes". (Although with the caveat that this is only made fresh every 3 days because it lasts longer, which really disturbed me since a large part of the sauce consists of eggs) Even when I asked directly whether it was the Lukull sauce from a tetra pack, they insisted that it was made in-house. What ended up on the plate would have been an insult even in a fast food restaurant. What was offered on the menu as beer slices with colorful vegetables, mushrooms and bearnaise turned out to be spongy, gray frozen vegetables in the bottom drawer with "Lukull hollandaise with parsley (tarragon could not be found even after several attempts). The meat consisted of large, spicy pieces of meat in a disgusting ready-made sauce. The 3 points are for the ambience, the moderate beer price and the friendly, if uninformed, waitress.

Arriving alone I was looking forward to eating traditional cuisine. 1h15 wait for a plate of overcooked ribs as hard as wood, 3 fries overcooked and stuffed with salt. The bottom of a stale Coke bottle. All for 24.60 euros. The atmosphere I don't know, I was placed next to the front door, where I peeled the loaves, supposedly the restaurant was full. End of meal I go to the bathroom, the back room is half empty. I had come to Cologne for the tekno I should have left it there. I come out of there still hungry and full of meat between my teeth. No thanks.

Solid brewery with acceptable food. Delicious beer with our own different types of beer. Nice personel.

Celebrating carnival is fine, but unfortunately there are a few points that bothered us. The toilets are simply not enough for the size and number of people. Of course, many locations have this problem, but here it is more extreme than I have ever experienced. We also found €3.90 for a Kölsch a bit excessive, especially considering that it comes from the in-house brewery. The choice of drinks was generally difficult, or there were simply none. Only Kölsch and sparkling wine, no short or long drinks. We found it a bit weak for a location of this size.

Bought extra tickets for Weiberfastnacht... Queued for 1 1/2 hours with several people, then they said no one was coming in!!! 😤... What kind of s.......! I hope people get their money back!! Rip off!!! 😡

We were here yesterday (Women's Carnival). You have to expect long waiting times in the queue, regardless of whether you have an advance ticket or not, as there are no separate queues. The stamps are very bad and some can no longer be seen after just an hour. I went outside with my friend to go to the kiosk. When we wanted to go back in, my stamp was almost completely faded and my buddy's stamp was completely gone. But the bouncer recognized my friend and so he was allowed back in. However, the man who gave the stamp didn't want to give him a new stamp and argued for ages until my friend had to pay the entrance fee of €18 again, even though the bouncer said to him that he remembered my friend and he did was in there. It's all an unnecessary power play. Really annoying. The stamp man is described as being around 35 years old and of southern origin. A little tip, next time use stamps that don't disappear immediately when they come into contact with water. At least when it's raining outside. The location is otherwise nice and the music was good too.

Carnival party for €18 entry doesn't deserve a star. ✋ 2 hours of uncontrolled queuing despite the card and inside there was only jostling for beer and long queues at the toilets. Ah and €3.80 for a 0.25er Kölsch. Bottomless. 😅

Very nice atmosphere, nice hospitality and delicious beer. Unfortunately the food was just okay. Unfortunately, the food wasn't much - for the high price. Unfortunately, we were all still hungry after eating - and we are all of normal weight.

Extremely unfriendly on the phone

A beautiful, rustic brewery, as you would imagine. I tried different types of beer, super tasty, the Kölsch, the Wiess and the Bockbier are recommended. Only the chairs can slowly be replaced. This is the one star 🌟 that you are missing for a perfect rating. The waiter was also super attentive and funny, like you know people in Cologne, with his heart on his tongue. Happy to come back 😊

Great food and very friendly service. Even remembered the names and had a glass with us. The atmosphere is very cozy - highly recommended.

Oh yeah, I always think it's nice here, nicely decorated, cool counter area, I like it here.

Super nice brewery. Service was also good, but the food was just mediocre. Other breweries in Cologne are definitely better.

The beer is good, but the food was very salty.

Super essen. Top Bier. Und typisch kölsche Kellner

Es gibt auch vegane Gerichte, geschmacklich ist da noch sehr viel Luft nach oben. Die omnivoren Gerichte waren gut. Der Service ist freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Ambiente ist toll! Alle Räume sind sehr schön dekoriert, es ist unheimlich gemütlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Gemütliches Brauhaus mit entsprechenden Essen. Die Köbes'e sind auf zack.

Im Rahmen einer Weihnachtsfeier mit ca. 20 Personen zunächst mal knapp 30 Min auf das erste Bier gewartet ... in einem Brauhaus!??? Leider schon ein ganz schlechter Start! Der Biernachschub kam dann auch nicht, wie in Köln eigentlich normal, automatisch, bis man den Deckel aufs Glas legt, sondern nur auch Zuruf und dann eher schleppend. Das Essen 'toppte' es dann noch: Das sog. Biergeschnetzelte waren trocken Bratenabschnitte, die in einer undefinierbaren Pampe aufgewärmt und mit matschigen Semmelknödeln und Fertigrotkohl serviert wurden. Im privaten Rahmen wäre das direkt als ungenießbar zurückgegangen. Auch die anderen Gerichte der Kollegen waren ähnlich schlecht. In Schulnoten daher also: Ambiente/Service 4 Kölsch 2 (wenn da, dann lecker und kalt) Essen 6

Schönes Brauhaus mit modernem Flair. Gutes Essen, große Bier-Auswahl. Es hat riesen Spaß gemacht, da man hier bei einer Reservierung nicht wie in anderen Brauhäusern nach 2 Stunden rausgeschmissen wird. Aber Ihr müsst Eure Toiletten mal vergrößern und renovieren. Für die Anzahl an Gästen geht das nicht mehr. Abwr: top Köbes-Team! Klasse!!

Schönes Brauhaus mit vegetarischem Angebot, das aber noch ausbaufähig ist.

Gutes Bier, tolles Essen und der überdachte Innenhof ist der Kracher.

Lecka Pils auf jedn Foi! Der Lehrling hod hoid nu Butta auf de Finga ghobt wie a de Weihnochtsdeko aufghängt hod und kon vun Glick redn, dass de deppadn Kugen ned aus Glos woan, sunsd hed a den gonzn Obnd zomkehrn kina.

Wonderful beer and excellent hearty food on a cold night.

Sehr leckeres Bier und einige vegane Optionen. Die Portionen könnten vielleicht etwas größer sein, aber es war sehr lecker.

Super tolles Brauhaus mit leckerem Bio Kölsch. Service, Essen und Ambiente echt super.

Top Brauhaus!!! Lecker Kölsch nette Bedienung und top Essen.

Wir hatten einen Tisch reserviert und entsprechend auch erhalten. Das Bier ist für meinen Geschmack super lecker, aber das muss ja jeder selbst bewerten. Alle waren auch mit dem Essen zufrieden. Der Service war sehr freundlich und immer mit einem kleinen Witz auf den Lippen. Das Ambiente ist super und meiner Meinung nach eines der schönsten Brauhäuser aufgrund des Wintergartens mit der gesamten Begrünung.

Für mich das beste Brauhaus in Köln. Das Bier, ob klassisches Kölsch, Weizen oder Wiess ist sehr lecker. Die Speisekarte ist relativ knapp aber dafür sind die Gerichte wirklich schmackhaft. Die Atmosphäre dort macht es besonders, gerade im hinteren Bereich hängen überall Pflanzen von der Decke und schaffen einen echten Hingucker. Auch die Köbesse tragen viel zum gelungenen Abend bei und sind wirklich gut drauf! Einziger Tipp: Reservieren lohnt sich!

So viel Salz habe auf einmal noch nie gegessen

Essen war nix. Schnitzel entpuppte sich als zwei kleine Stückchen Fleisch, wobei nur eines mit einer Soße bedeckt war. Beilage Fritten schmeckten und sahen so aus, als ob sie schon dreimal in der Fritteuse drin waren.

Beautiful interior, nice staff, delicious food

Hab nix gegessen dazu kann ich nicht sagen. Ein sehr schönes Lokal mit sehr netten Personal

**Atmosphäre:** 5/5 **Küche:** 2/5 **Service:** 4/5 **Preis/Leistung:** 3/5 **Gesamtbewertung:** 3,5/5 Beim Hellers Brauhaus in Köln fällt einem sofort die tolle Atmosphäre auf. Der Wintergarten ist hell und luftig und überall stehen große Pflanzen. Die Kellner sind freundlich und aufmerksam. Das eigene Kölsch schmeckt sehr gut. Die Küche ist leider nicht so gut. Das Schnitzel mit Pommes für 16,80€ war aus der Fritteuse und das Schnitzel war wahrscheinlich ein TK-Produkt. Das beste aber waren die 1,50€ Sonderwunsch Berechnung. Ich hatte aus allergischen Gründen den Salat nicht essen können und hatte das bei der Bestellung gesagt. Trotzdem wurden 1,50€ für die Änderung berechnet. Das finde ich frech. Das Hellers Brauhaus ist ein nettes Restaurant mit einer schönen Atmosphäre. Die Küche ist leider nicht so gut und die Sonderwunsch Berechnung ist frech.

Tolles Brauhaus und sehr freundlicher Service! Wir kommen wieder!

Great food and great atmosphere. I was there with coworkers for drinks and dinner.

Leckeres Brauhaus-Essen, urige Atmosphäre, humorvoller Service und Bio-Kölsch! Uns hat es bestens gefallen und bei unserem nächsten Köln-Ausflug kommen wir gerne wieder!

Kölsches Brauhaus mal anders. Eigene Biere und Schnäpse. Man sitzt wortwörtlich im Grünen. Speisen werden frisch zubereitet und serviert. Pesonal ist aufmerksam und reagiert schnell. Bin öfter mit Brauhaus Führungen dort gewesen und meine Gäste und ich wurden nie enttäuscht.

Leider kann ich das Hellers Brauhaus gar nicht empfehlen. Das Ambiente war top mit den hängenden Pflanzen in den Gängen, aber die Bedienung sowie das Essen schlecht. Die Portionen waren enttäuschend klein und haben fast alle um die 18€ gekostet. Wenn man Fleisch ist und nicht unbedingt Lust auf Mettwurst mit Grünkohl und Kartoffeln hat, wird man um 20€ pro Essen nicht drum herum kommen. Das vegane Gulasch war eine Suppe aus Tomatensoße, möhren, Kartoffeln und sellerie. Es war ok, aber leider nicht das Erwartete und für 11€ auch vielleicht ein bisschen zu teuer für das was drin war. Die Bedienung, der Köbes hat und leider vergessen. So musste einer unserer Gruppe aufstehen und ihn suchen, weil er über eine halbe Stunde Zeit nicht aufgetaucht ist. Zu finden war er dann Kölsch trinkend hinter der Bar mit den anderen Kellern. Grundsätzlich finde ich das nicht schlimm, wenn der Köbes auch mal mittrinkt aber es wird halt blöd, wenn sich das auf den Service auswirkt. Das Essen kam recht schnell. Fazit: Jedes Brauhaus in Köln ist besser und das Hellers ist leider nicht empfehlenswert.

Tolles Brauhaus mit gutem Essen. Der Umweltfaktor (Bio) kommt hier auch noch zur Geltung, somit nochmal schöner. Der Sauerbraten, die Haxe und Himmel und Ähd waren super.

Wir hatten hier einen wunderschönen Abend verbracht und eine Menge Spaß gehabt! Vielen Dank an das Team und ein Hoch auf das Bier 🍻

An sich alles gut aber zu kleine Portionen
