Idsteiner Brauhaus Alte Feuerwache GmbH in Idstein

Very nice location, the boss has everything under control downstairs. The home-brewed beer is world class. Price-performance ratio is right, so everything is good. You have to make a reservation there or sit at the counter without it. That's how it is in a busy restaurant. 👍👍👍

super positive experience, the bartender-waiter-perhaps owner was very kind and upon request he very patiently recommended typical dishes to us. The pumpkin soup was phenomenal, the other dishes were really good. Maybe a little expensive, but definitely generous portions.

Very tasty, very friendly and very rustic! We love going to the Idsteiner Brauhaus!!

Very friendly place, really good home cooking and very good beer! Nice team and nice, cozy location. Very good sauerkraut!

Great service. Delicious food.

Great brewery inn with nice staff. The beer tastes very good and the food is excellent. We'd love to come back.

Very friendly, courteous service and owner. Delicious daily specials with a small dessert at a fair price. We were at the brewery on a school day and we were all very enthusiastic about the schnitzel with leaf spinach and sheep's cheese and very good crispy fried potatoes. The salad was also mixed with a delicious dressing. The food even came for everyone at the same time, although one person came much later. The children starting school or retraining even received gifts. Reservation makes sense.

The atmosphere is homely, the service was friendly and the food was good, but the prices are also pretty steep. Salad plates for 21 euros and schnitzel dishes + fried potatoes + side salad for 30 euros, that adds up very quickly.

As always, very good, plentiful and tasty. Gladly again.

Good food, unfortunately not very vegetarian. The cheese spaetzle was perfect. The beer is exceptionally good but unfortunately too expensive to buy for your own celebration.

We go to the brewery every now and then, even in larger groups. The ambience is nice, even on the first floor, the service is fine and the beer is good. However, when it comes to food and drinks, the price-performance ratio is not right. It is simply too expensive for simple home cooking.

I always like to go here, the beer is top class, everyone can find what they like best here, the food is also excellent, the service, the ambience is great, but make sure you make a reservation beforehand, it's always full but cozy.

Leckere, bodenständige Küche, Hausmannskost wirklich lecker. Das Bier schmeckt richtig fein. Service ist lieb, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend, man würde der Dame eine zusätzliche Thekenkraft zur Entlastung wünschen.

Based on the reviews I expected it to be better. The schnitzel wasn't very good, the piece of meat was pretty bad and bland. Also, the service was quite slow even though there were only a few people there.

The food (and the schnitzel in particular) is fabulous, as is the service, but what really stands out is the beer. Their dunkel really does make the tongue rejoice, as was so good it was one of those very rare beers of which I drank two consecutively! Extra points are earned here as it is not quite such a tourist trap as the other bars and restaurants in the very centre of the town, and as such carries a very pleasant ambience of an evening, although I would still recommend booking a table if you intend to eat here. One might not expect to find a place such as this in Idstein but a craft ale enthusiast would be remiss for even attempting to go for dinner and drinks anywhere else whilst in Idstein.

When I asked for olive oil to season a salad they told me they didn't have it! When I told them I was returning the salad they brought me olive oil. Very bad service!

Small brewery with good cuisine

Very nice, attentive service. Delicious food and super tasty home-brewed beer.

Very comfortable! Enjoy your meal! Great service! They make their own beer and more (try it out) - also to take away!

Small restaurant with little indoor seating. There is often a lack of staff for outdoor seating, which means a lot of capacity is lost. It's a shame because the food is great.

Really delicious food, friendly service who also took the trouble to translate into English. Beautiful brewery in an old fire station. You also have the opportunity to buy tasty souvenirs. In addition, the town is worth the detour.

Casual, rustic atmosphere in a restored fire station, on the ground floor with a long bar and brick wall, on the upper floor wood paneling and groups of tables under a sloping roof, e.g. T. with a view of the hose tower. When the weather is good, you can sit outside on wooden furniture under parasols, almost like you're in a Bavarian beer garden. Good home cooking, generous portions at fair prices, which (in 2024) have picked up strongly, like everywhere else. But decent portions for that👍 Every first Thursday of the month knuckles can be ordered in advance: super delicious! The beer is always fresh and tasty. The smallest beer is 0.2l - cute little glass🤣 Very nice and attentive service. Ideal for a casual, cozy stay.

I was here tonight and the food was delicious, but I was wondering who owns this wonderful taste. I searched online but didn't find any results.

It's moldy between the tables and it's generally disgusting. The prices are far too high and not justified.

Food was tasty, service was quick and friendly

Fast food, no highlights but ok. Beer, home-brewed, always delicious, fresh and healthy. Is that the boss? He's so grumpy and always on edge that you don't sit for too long without ordering again. Older man. Please, be a little more calm. Nice location. You usually have to look for parking spaces

The service here is hopeless. We waited for 20mins seated but no one turned up to get the menu. The staff is were just walking around doing nothing. We are tourists and wanted to try the local beer but since no one turned down, we had to step out with utter disappointment. However, beer lovers you can try your luck as the beer looks to be yummy.

Been there for the first and last time. The food came and there was already a hair on the mushroom. I thought ok, it can happen. Looked a little further down and found another one. Then I said to the waitress that I was sorry, but I wouldn't eat this salad. She then got a bit snippy and said "That would be unlikely because the lady in the kitchen has long black hair. Maybe it's a fiber, but with salad you'd never know if there's something in it...." Um, sorry, but That is not how it works. Isn't the food washed here!?

Great shop, mega beer👌👍incredibly delicious ❤️👍😘 and a great team 👍 Give so much love to the beautiful shop 🤗 I love the Brauhaus Idstein, always worth a trip. 10 out of 10 points👍😘.

Beautiful interior. Great food! Excellent service!

Very tasty roast pork and delicious cheese spaetzle. The home-brewed beer tastes good too! But the waiting time was clearly too long, so one star was deducted!!

Located in the immediate vicinity of the rustic witch tower..., with its own beer brewery.

Nice decor that you won't get tired of. Nice staff and tasty food for a good price. Beer was also very tasty and of course we also tried the beer brand.

The dishes are, well, very German. Cutlets (good in themselves, juicy, huge) with dry fries, served without salads. Cutlet on rye bread (Krötchen) is a better idea, because at least there is fried onion and salad (unfortunately with some ready-made mayonnaise sauce). The service is simple, slightly patronizing. The interior is interesting and cozy. Prices are quite high considering the simplicity of the dishes. Very high price for a child's drink.

The Brauhaus Idstein is a charming restaurant located in a historic building and offering an authentic atmosphere. Two impressive copper kettles in the middle of the room serve as eye-catchers and the bar is arranged around them. The kitchen offers simple but original Hessian dishes. Delicious house beer. A visit to the Idstein brewery is definitely recommended.

This week we were visiting Idstein and wanted to take a typical beer specialty with us. So off to the old fire station. Taken 4x 0.5L amber lager and dark. Each expiry date is July 24, 2024, as if they would survive that long. ;-) Chilled overnight and tasted the next day and what can I say. I love home breweries, we have 5 of them in the immediate area that we go to regularly, so I had a rough expectation of the taste, but instead of more or less bitter hop aromas and/or a malty, drinkable finish Both types simply tasted disgustingly sour, as if they were bad, expired or tipped over or the last rinse of the brewing kettle cleaning. Absolutely undrinkable. Who bottles stuff like that without quality control? In terms of taste, they really couldn't have been serious.

An absolute recommendation from us. At lunch we had bratwurst with potato salad, very tasty, a bit expensive, shank aspic with fried potatoes, also very tasty, price/performance ratio was right. In the evening sausage salad with fried potatoes, white sausage with pretzel. Here too the price/performance is right. Great beer. Our dog was welcome. Good parking at the restaurant and approx. 200m away.

From the reservation, to the food and to the service - everything was great! We would be happy to come back on our next visit to Idstein.

Super tasty, great atmosphere. Child friendly… Gladly again at any time 😊

Four of us had dinner there today. We were sent upstairs to the attic. We immediately noticed the strange smell and the stale air. It was also disproportionately warm up there. Furthermore, after a few minutes we noticed that a large group of fascists were also dining in the dining room on Adolf Hitler's birthday. We immediately lost our appetite. To our further shock, the food was only served after 1:30 hours after a long wait. At least it was hot. The waitress, who was left alone, was extremely friendly, but at least very polite and was embarrassed by the conditions in the shop. The food was average and not worth the price. A 0.75 liter bottle of water costs almost €9 here. Since the restaurant obviously offers space to right-wing radicals and, in our opinion, even wants them, we will turn our backs on this place.

Mediocre schnitzel, okay service, nice ambiance ‘aber’ 8.20€ for a bottle water! Okay.

The food was very good, we had schnitzel with mushroom cream and fries, the service was very friendly and attentive, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices

The ambience speaks for itself and is good. The service made an effort, as long as you understood German. Eat... Frozen schnitzel “Viennese style” with frozen fried potatoes.. It's bad when you taste it straight away, as if you had quickly prepared it yourself at home. The side salad was fresh, but still tasted like vinegar, even though it was supposed to be a yogurt sauce. The cheese spaetzle were ok, not particularly good or bad, they were ok. We won't be coming back... It's a shame, we really liked the atmosphere...

We were really thirsty and we were helped here. The ambience is great and you can enjoy your beer in the brewery, as it brews fresh every week.

Friendly and quick service. Good beer in a wonderful atmosphere.

We had a very different experience than what most people describe here and my "table neighbors" next door, I think, had a disaster. First: the atmosphere is really nice and the man on the phone for our reservation was also extremely nice. But now come the "buts": The woman behind the counter spoke very respectfully to several people during our stay, especially the young family at the next table, who had probably called that there were 4 people and 1 "small child", but the table was only for 4 people. The waitress was upset about this for several minutes, so much so that we almost wanted to intervene. Afterwards, another customer was told that they couldn't magically make the order (the food) smaller...you ask yourself, why not? Our food then came, although the fish smelled and tasted somehow musty. The young family at the next table also had the same problem. Difficult to understand fish for over 20 euros. It should be noted here that the prices listed here on the internet and on the website are not correct. Around 3-4 euros were added everywhere. Understandable at this time, but misleading. We then noticed that a discussion had broken out at the next table about the 20 or so fries that we had received for 6.20, but well, you can think of it what you want, for me personally these were a lot, considering the quantity too expensive. Oh yeah, bottle of water 8.20...that's quite an announcement! All in all, we still had a relatively good time, as I said, I think the other tables probably won't show up there again.

We were at the Idsteiner Brauhaus today. We really enjoyed the dark beer and the service was very attentive, friendly and hardworking. The food was also delicious. We'll definitely come back.

Well attended, nice staff. Simple dishes that taste good.

Ambience ok, food ok. Service is terrible, you'll actually be insulted if you don't understand the difficult German spoken by the service. Incredible.

It was my first time in the brewery and I was very satisfied with the evening itself. The beer was delicious and the ambience was great. However, the service was very rude. I have been working in the catering industry for 6 years and can say with a clear conscience that something like this is not normal. We arrived 2 hours before closing time and ordered a 5 liter column. The waitress already pointed out to us that the brewery was closing in 2 hours. OK. When a colleague came over three quarters of an hour before the end, we asked the waitress for three glasses and she abruptly said, "I already have a glass in my hand and now I need to hurry up." You don't stress guests out just because you want to finish work early just because they want to stay a few minutes longer. It's a shame but the brewery is still very nice.

Authentic place with good beer. The portions are big enough and good to share a schnitzel. Child friendly and convenient for families.

Very nice restaurant with friendly service (Mr.) Unfortunately, like everywhere else, the prices are exorbitant, for a small cup of soup with pancake strips 8.70 And then no taste.

Very good, I'm totally satisfied.

Good rump steak with onions and bread, very tasty, Baumeister-style schnitzel was okay but not the fried potatoes for over 6 euros is too high for me. Drinks were great, we sat on the first floor, that wasn't fair to the brewery, but it was below top👍. Therefore only 3 stars

Nice ambience, good food! We would come again.

We agree with the other reviews. Highly recommended. But unfortunately there is still a downer: A bottle of water (0.7l) costs an impressive €8.20 there. There is no way this price can be justified! People here feel resentment when they pay the bill... Unfortunately, the water is more expensive than the beer. That at least stifles our otherwise positive impression of this location.

Omg such a cute and authentic place filled with locals! We arrived for lunch and most of the tables were already reserved, so be careful. They apparently have regulars who are mostly old generation, cute retired couples, friends 🥰 The guy working there was friendly and nice. And of course rbe Käsespätzle was amazing!! 😍 Must visit place in Idstein 🤍

Beautiful location, delicious home-brewed beer, delicious food at fair prices, great service. For me there's an additional 6th star here

9:40 p.m.: “do you really want another column?! We close at 10:30 p.m. and if you’re not finished then, I’ll just take the rest away from you!” And much more :)

Freundliches Personal. Leckeres Essen und super lecker Bier

Essen war sehr gut. Restaurant ist schick, rustikal eingerichtet. Preise sind in Ordnung, nicht günstig aber dafür war man bekommt absolut gerechtfertigt.

Das Essen war ganz okay. Aber die Preise . Für eine Portion Pommes 5,20€ ist schon eine Frechheit.

Small but nice place for having dinner with friends. Good beer, homemade, tasty food, historical building in the city centre.

Sehr freundliche bedienung und gutte preisen

Super tolles Ambiente! Sind spontan gegen Frühen Nachmittag rein und hatten Glück, dass wir ohne Reservierung einen Platz bekommen haben :) Kann aufjedenfall die Brizza empfehlen 😃

On short notice, I needed to organise somewhere casual between Bonn and Frankfurt to catch up with an old friend. I don't think we could have chosen a better location. I felt like I had walked into my local travern, everyone was so friendly. Because I was driving, I couldn't drink too much, yet I was there to celebrate. The owner came up with the perfect compromise. We also had a quick bite to eat... Well, it was meant to be. I thought I had ordered the smallest dish on the menu. It ended up being quite the meal. (A big tick on value for money!) As my introduction to German hospitality, Idsteiner Brauhaus was close to perfect.

Prima Essen und sehr guter Service 👍

Leckere deftige Gerichte kombiniert mit selbst gebrauten frischen Bieren im historischen Ambiente - so lässt es sich leben.

Ein schönes kleines Brauhaus. Gemütliches und warmes Ambiente und wirklich freundliche Servicekräfte. Das Bier war sehr lecker

Essen und trinken gutbürgerlich und in Ordnung. Leider aber nicht kinder- bzw. babyfreundlich, als wickelmöglichkeit wurde uns einzig der Platz zwischen den Waschbecken in der Damentoilette angeboten, das waren so 30 cm auf kaltem Stein. Wer schon mal ein Baby gewickelt hat, das sich drehen kann, weiß, dass das nicht machbar ist. Wir wollten stattdessen auf dem Boden wickeln (es war auch nicht voll und irgendwo hätte es sicher eine ruhige Ecke gegeben) aber das wurde uns verboten

Man kann am Brauhaus lecker essen und trinken gehen. Ist nur weiter zu empfehlen.

Super urig und gemütlich, leckere Speisen und guter Service. Komme gerne wieder!

Gemütliche Location und sehr aufmerksame Bedienung. Das Essen war lecker und ordentliche Portionen, dafür etwas höherpreisig.

Spontan versackt im Biergarten, leckeres Bier, gutes Essen. Die Bedienung bemüht, aber wohl vom Andrang überrascht. Innen toll,wir kommen sicher wieder.

Schönes Restaurant mit guten Essen und fairen Preisen. Das Bier hat meinen Geschmack nicht so getroffen, aber Geschmäcker sind ja bekanntlich verschieden... Auf jeden Fall solltet ihr euch selbst von schönen Ambiente, leckeren Essen und aufmerksamen Service überzeugen. Vorab reservieren ist empfehlenswert...

Leckeres essen, frisches selbstgebrautes Bier alles in einer alten Feuerwache mit Blick auf die Braukessel

Angenehmes Gasthaus mit freundlicher Bedienung und gutem Essen. Die Schlachtplatte war mehr als ausreichend, Blutwurst, Leberwurst, Leberknödel und Bauchfleisch an Sauerkraut und Püree, war gut und reichlich. Die Ofenkartoffel mit Kräuterquark ebenfalls prima und den Abschluss bildete Vanilleeis mit heißen Himbeeren, dazu leckeres Festbier.

Super Essen in einem Geschichtsträchtigen Gebäude

Das Essen, Käsespätzle, in dem sehr gemütlichen Lokal hat mir sehr geschmeckt. Leider gibt es keine Seniorenportionen auf der Speisekarte und auch auf Anfrage nicht. Da ich und auch eine andere Person nur die Hälfte essen konnten, durften wir den Rest, der ordentlich verpackt wurde, mit nach Hause nehmen. Allerdings schmeckte mir das zu Hause überhaupt nicht mehr, sodass ich es leider entsorgt hatte. Mir tut es in der Seele weh, Lebensmittel auf diese Weise zu entsorgen, daher wünsche ich mir, dass Seniorengerichte auch auf der Speisekarte angeboten werden.

Gutbürgerliche Küche, leckeres Bier,

Good rumpsteak and great variety of beer.

Lecker und sehr schönes Ambiente

Schönes Ambiente. Speisen sind sehr gut. Bedienung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Preise angemessen. Für Vegetarier wenige Gerichte. Sehr empfehlenswert. Bitte weiter so.

Sehr hübsches Gebäude, sehr schön gestaltet, man fühlt sich sofort wohl, nette Bedienung und tolles Essen. Gerne wieder!

Schönes Brauhaus mit einem klasse Bier. Das Essen war gut und der Service sehr zuvorkommend. Eine klare Empfehlung!

Tolles Angebot, Service super, jederzeit wieder

Ein Wiener Schnitzel für 10,80 das geht ja noch, aber für Pommers und Beilagensalat je 5 Euro zu verlangen ist schon sehr übertrieben. Geschmacklich war es auch nichts besonderes. Das selbstgebaute Bier hat mich auch nicht überzeugt. Bedienung hatte auch nicht so die Lust

Leckere Speisen und netter Service 👍 Bier 🍻 sehr gut 😉

Sehr schöne und passende Einrichtung und das Essen ist auch sehr lecker!

Gutes, ehrliches Essen und leckeres Bier. Preise angemessen. Bedienung sehr freundlich. Tolle selbstgemachte Spezialitäten, wie die hauseigene Bratwurst mit Kartoffelsalat. Sehr lecker!!!

Schnitzel und Salat waren lecker, Ambiente gemütlich, wie man es im Brauhaus erwartet. Etwas mehr Kreativität auf der Karte wäre schön

Wir waren gestern zu viert Abends hier essen. Erstmal haben wir festgestellt, das leider einige Gerichte von der Karte verschwunden sind. Vor Corona gab es die Gerichte noch, keine Ahnung ob es was damit zu tun hat, aber jetzt fehlt irgendwie das Besondere auf der Karte. Bei zweien von uns war das Steak viel zu fest und nicht das Geld wert, die Sauce bei einem nichts besonderes und geschmacklich wie aus der Tüte. Und meine Bratwurst war viel zu fest und hatte keinen Geschmack. Das beste waren das Wirsinggemüse und mein warmer Kartoffel-Gurkensalat war auch ganz ok. Alles in allem haben wir festgestellt, das alle Gerichte nicht ihr Geld wert waren. Schade, weil es mal anders war, wir werden leider so schnell nicht wiederkommen.

Schlechtes Personal, total wirr, war wohl noch recht neu, statt aufzuschreiben, wurde versucht sich alles zu merken. Die Preise total abgehoben, viel zu viel für diese Art Restaurant. Schnitzel im Bausatz, am Ende über 20Euro. Leider ist kaum noch ein Gericht seinen Preis wert, schade.

Habe ein Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln gegessen. Das Schnitzer war so weit o.k. Aber die Bratkartoffeln waren das letzte. Da waren keine Zwiebeln und kein Speck dran. Wahrscheinlich in der Fritteuse gebraten. Und dafür habe ich 5 Euro bezahlt. Wirklich das letzte.

Reservierung eines Tisches für 4 Personden klappte ganz gut. Bedienung nicht gerade freundlich, war sehr unaufmerksam und wirkte extrem gestresst. Die Speisekarte wurde wohl an die momentane Kostenentwicklung angepasst, jedoch zum großen Teil völlig überzogen. Beispiel: Ein Schnitzel Wiener Art (nackt!) kostet mittlerweile € 10,50. Die Beilagen - Bratkartoffeln und ein Beilagensalat - schlagen nochmal mit € 9,50 zu Buche und sind zusätzlich zu bestellen. Das sind insgesamt € 20. Das gleiche kostete vorher € 13,50. also eine Preissteigerung um 48%. Ziemlich heftig! Nicht empfehlenswert!

Bin mit einem Kumpel nur für ein Bier reingegangen - aber es war dann so gemütlich, dass es ein paar mehr geworden sind. Atmosphäre in Ordnung, Bier war sehr gut. Gerne wieder.

Das Ambiente ist so nett, warum wird einem das durch den Empfang so vermiest? Und das nicht nur durch einen Herren sondern auch durch eine Dame. Stimmt was mit eurem Betriebsklima nicht? Die Wertschätzung als Einzelperson entspricht der eines Bittstellers. Wenn man nach einem Tisch fragt (bei ca 3-4 freien Tischen) wird man in die Ecke mit einem Hochtisch verwiesen, nicht gefragt ob noch Personen dazukommen. Das nächste Päärchen nach mir, daß nicht reserviert hatte bekam dann direkt einen Tisch, der reserviert war. Kein Lächeln, kein nette Aufforderung zur Einsicht in die Covid App, keine Alternativangebote, als andere Tische frei wurden-oder auf die Frage nach Wifi. (Es gibt in Idstein kostenfreies WIfi) nur die Antwort: Nein haben wir nicht! (Mit einem Ausdruck. der vermittelt: Wie kannst Du sowas fragen...) Nur als meine Frau kam wurde es ein wenig herzlicher mit Tischangebot Fazit: Wenn man kein Stammgast ist, ist man als Einzelperson Gast zweiter Klasse. Schade, ich wäre gerne Stammgast geworden, da ich jede Woche zu dieser Zeit in Idstein nähe Brauhaus bin. Ansonsten sind wenigstens Essen und Getränke in Ordnung, wenn auch in der obersten Preisklasse im Vergleich.

Nach einer Wanderung im Taunus sind wir nochmal nach Idstein gefahren und durch die hübsche Altstadt geschlendert. Verhungern kann man da ja nicht, Kneipe an Kneipe. Wir haben uns für das Bauhaus entschieden und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Selbst gebrautes Sommerbier war sehr süffig und das Essen prima. Service war ausgesprochen freundlich. Wir kommen wieder.

Nette Atmosphäre, sehr gutes selbstgebrautes Bier. Speisen sind okay. Wir waren im August 2021 mit 3 Personen abends da. Um 22:15 Uhr wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass wir noch ein Getränk bestellen dürfen, danach wird geschlossen. An einem Samstag Abend um 22:15 Uhr! Öffnungszeiten offiziell bis 24:00 Uhr! Wollen die kein Geld verdienen? Sind dann noch weiter gegangen und haben noch was gefunden und bis 1:00 Uhr Getränke bekommen.

Die Küche hat sich insgesamt verbessert. Gibt gute gutbürgerliche Gerichte, selbstgebrautes Bier wie immer. Gemütliches Sitzen mitten in der Altstadt vorm Schloss. Preise sind ok, Bedienung könnte netter sein. Parkplätze oft belegt. Insgesamt mal sehenswert.
