Hellers Brauhaus in Köln

The food here is not recommended. There is only Kölsch and Wiess

The food was really a disaster. My friend gave the inedible schnitzel straight back. My knuckle had an almost impenetrable crust and was probably in the oven for far too long. Another friend ordered kale. But it looked more like igloo creamed spinach soup. Service was nice. A BRAUHAUS that describes itself as such must actually offer more than just a beer. There weren't even a few special bottled beers on the menu.

It was a great visit, the service was very nice and we had no problems with a large group

Unnecessary behavior today and a rather unfriendly service. We were very happy to accept the suggestion that we would like to go somewhere else.

Food wasn't really my thing Jägerschnitzel was bland in taste The atmosphere was very nice and the waiters were very friendly and accommodating

Schnitzel and ribs were quite dry and not really good, but ok. Beer very good.

Good service, delicious beer, nice ambience and good food. Predominantly young audience, but still something from all age groups. Very reliable, friendly Köbesse who expressly check in and out of shifts. Nice location.

Nope Nice restaurant, friendly staff.

We had reserved for 25 people and were divided into two tables. As the group gradually became smaller and people changed seats, the waiter lost track and at some point shouted at us for several minutes without any reason and accused us of making him sit on drinks because he could no longer keep track of who had how much had drunk. And this despite the fact that there were no positions open at the time and a proper tip had already been given. Outrageous. Spoiled my evening - although as a Cologne native I'm definitely used to a lot from breweries in Cologne. Really a shame. I won't come back voluntarily.

Beautiful ambience, delicious food, traditional dishes interpreted in a modern way and great service, a clear recommendation!

A good address for a nice evening with Kölsch. Service is very good. The food was just so-so.

Organically brewed beer, different types, a visit is always worth it!

AWESOME jungle of plants coning down from the ceiling! I just wish they had some different options for the drinks, but after all it's a brewery.

Relatively long waiting times. The food was OK

The schnitzel came so quickly, I thought it had traveled through time - straight from the microwave. In terms of taste? Like an old sneaker that has been dragged through the dust. This was definitely the worst schnitzel I have ever eaten. My colleague had better luck with his dish, but it only tasted “okay”. The beer, however, was good! It was almost enough to suppress the schnitzel trauma. The waitress was super nice – she probably knew what to expect. Conclusion: Come for the beer, leave the schnitzel in the parallel world.

Beautiful, especially the plants on the ceiling

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

Wir waren mit 25 Leuten zum EM-Eröffnungsspiel dort. Das Bier war gut, das Essen leider richtig mies!! Keinem hat’s gut geschmeckt - Schnitzel zu dunkel und trocken, Schweinebraten aufgewärmt, Pommes versalzen, Bratkartoffeln verbrannt!! Zum Glück war wenigstens das Spiel gut!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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. 😅

Extremely unfriendly on the phone

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.

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.

There's no denying the quality of the beer in Cologne, its amazing, the famous kölsch beers are so well brewed and delicious, one place I love to visit on any holiday I take to Cologne is Brauerei Heller. A great looking brewery,interior is superb, a cool looking serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this brewery, its just a great brewery to unwind in. We were here on a cold and rainy December night, this place was so busy with a great atmosphere, we luckily managed to get seats near the serving bar were we ordered their helles beer these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and took in the great brewery we were in. My beer was really good, a golden, light and hoppy lager style beer bursting with taste and very easy to drink especially when served freezing cold as in this brewery, it was just so good being in such a lovely brewery enjoying a quality beer and sat with my twin brother, best beer companion in the world. We really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. Brauerei Heller is easy to locate along Roonstraße. Opening hours are ; Monday,closed. Tuesday to Thursday, 7pm till midnight. Sunday, closed. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

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

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.

Super essen. Top Bier. Und typisch kölsche Kellner

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

HELLERS Brauhaus is an excellent brewery and taproom on Roonstraße that offers an organic home-brewed range of beer's and is located in an excellent area of Cologne were there are many interesting pubs/bars and restaurants. This is a superb brauhaus with an excellent interior with ground/attic bars and a really nice conservatory bar area.There's lot's of interesting fixtures and features relating to there beer range and great seating area's throughout the whole brauhaus and it was a pleasure to go here on our 7 day holiday to this superb city. We visited here just as it opened and were the first in here.On our visit to here me and my twin brother had a few of there organic beers which were superb and on par price wise with the other brew-pubs we visited on our trip to Cologne. A superb brauhaus in a superb area that's well worth visiting and is really easy to find from Zülpicher Platz tram/u-bahn stops it's a short walk away.(This is my first review of HELLERS Brauhaus). Opening Hours. Monday-Closed. Tuesday-Saturday-17.00-00.00. Sunday-Closed. Public Transport. Tram/U-Bahn Stops-09-12-15.

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.

Das Essen war lecker, jedoch war die Organisation obwohl im Vorfeld alles abgeklärt und eingereicht wurde eine Katastrophe Noch schlimmer war der Umgangston die ich mir anhören musste in Form von "Guck mal Mädchen..." Eine Erwachsene Frau muss sich das nicht anhören! Der Abend endete für mich mit einem Glas Wasser und einem Spinat-Kokos-Auflauf, weil mir die Laune verdorben wurde... Sehr schade!

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!

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.

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.

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

Mein Mann und ich wollten nur noch auf ein oder zwei Kölsch gehen, um den Tag schön ausklingen zu lassen. Dann kam der kleine Hunger und wir haben einen Halven Hahn bestellt. Woanders ist mir der gerne mal zu trocken, aber hier war das Röggelchen warm, der Käse sehr lecker, genügend Zwiebeln ... mit Senf und Gürkchen genau richtig. Sind am nächsten Abend gleich nochmal hin und haben das Gleiche bestellt! :-) Das Kölsch ist auch sehr lecker und man sitzt schön in einem typischen kölschen Brauhaus.
