Kasematten Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf

A restaurant mile directly on the banks of the Rhine. Here, you can watch the action in a cozy atmosphere. Weather permitting, a visit to the various restaurants is worthwhile. The prices are typical for the location but still reasonable. It's just a few minutes' walk from the old town.

Good place to hangout, river front

Dorado was cooked well. The other things was just awful. Waites awful. Atmosphere awful. Asked for hot drinks-not available. Asked to water outside of fridge, they bring cold water with ice. We don’t have she just say. Never go there !!!!!!

It's always wonderful to stroll along here and just stop for a bite to eat :-)

Great atmosphere, service on point, must visit if you wanna get drunk

Roast beef and duck leg served with the same dark ready-made sauce...each dish around 20 euros...cheeky

Very generous portions, delicious seafood fried to perfection. A cool vibe and a great DJ – a fantastic atmosphere!

Popular, trendy, the atmosphere is always there, come in and enjoy the time.

Perfect for dancing on the table. But a disaster for eating out. Potato salad from a bucket and the other dishes were also poor quality. But the prices were outrageous!!!

I am extremely dissatisfied with my visit to this restaurant and bar. I had reserved a table for ten people for my birthday, but upon arrival, we were only offered a table for five. Instead of finding a reasonable solution, we were repeatedly shuffled from table to table as our seats were repeatedly being made available for other guests. This was not only chaotic, but also massively disrupted the entire evening and the birthday party. Unfortunately, there was no sign of professional service or appreciation for guests. Very disappointing – definitely not recommended.

Very unfriendly staff, they were very rude and insulted me because a colleague still had a nearly empty beer from outside. There was no chance to talk about it, and you feel personally attacked, even if you ask to order and get rid of the bottle. It's unbelievable how much of a power trip the employees are on.

I attended the birthday party as my best friend – and honestly, it was a disaster. Although a table had been reserved for ten people, upon arrival we were only offered space for five. Instead of finding a reasonable solution, we had to change tables several times because our spot was constantly being vacated for other guests. The whole thing was chaotic, unprofessional, and completely ruined the party. Especially on a birthday, you expect appreciation and good service – unfortunately, neither was provided here. Very disappointing and absolutely not recommended.

Highly recommended. With a magnificent view of the Rhine

Good food, very friendly waiter and typical atmosphere.

After the fish market, I went to the after-party at the Kasematten. The atmosphere was initially good until two girls started causing a stir, insisting on our table. When I sent them away, I was pushed from behind, fell onto the table, and glasses broke. I cut my hand with a piece of glass. After half an hour, I went to the bar to clean the wound, ask for a bandage, and more drinks. I got a bandage, but no more drinks. The second time I asked, I was immediately told that there were no more drinks. On the third attempt, the head of security came and asked me to step outside, where I was told I couldn't get back in. So instead of help, I was simply kicked out. Very disappointing how injured guests are treated here. No leniency, no apology, instead a ban. Absolutely unacceptable to me.

Unfortunately, the tables weren't very clean, and there were things lying around on the floor (napkins, cigarette packets, etc.). The restroom attendant was also really rude when you didn't give her the requested amount of money for using the restroom facilities, which were supposed to be free for all guests anyway. And be warned: NO card payments are accepted. The bill is written on a beer mat. Very questionable in such a central tourist location in Düsseldorf...

"Door policy"? Disgusting. Compliments to the security: A masterclass in cheekiness, impudence, and disrespect.

We went to the restaurant on Wednesday. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The setting, right on the Rhine, is of course incredibly beautiful. However, we were very disappointed with the service and the food. Of course, the lack of staff was noticeable here too. But the staff that was there didn't even make an effort to give us the impression that the service was good. Furthermore, the food (baked potato with salad and a dip) was anything but tasty. The baked potato was still hard in places and the dip was simply made with mayonnaise and a few herbs. You could only use the toilet for a fee. There was someone sitting right at the entrance to the toilet holding out their hand. Pretty disrespectful. In my opinion, there are definitely better restaurants on the Rhine promenade in Düsseldorf.

Great atmosphere. Always an experience.

Delicious food at a fair price, WITH a view of the Rhine. The waiter is friendly, and the food arrives quickly. Schnitzel with fries, salad, and a coke for €22.80.

If you want to dine in style and see and be seen, this is the place for you. A deep wallet is required.

We visited the Kasematten restaurant in Düsseldorf, and unfortunately, our visit was very disappointing. After we sat down, we sat for a full 10 minutes without anyone attending to us. The table after us, however, was served after just a minute – we found that very rude. The service overall was unfriendly and uncaring. We didn't enjoy the food, and to top it all off, the coffee was cold. We really expected more for the beautiful location on the Rhine. It's a shame, but we won't be coming back.

A very disappointing visit. The waiter told us we could only order large drinks and pay in cash, otherwise he wouldn't serve us. When we asked about it, he shouted at us, and we felt clearly discriminated against. This shouldn't happen in such a well-known place.

I ordered an Alt and received a 0.5l glass without comment. Even in 2025, you'll only be able to pay in cash, but then I'll be able to use an ATM for exorbitant fees. The bartender will surely make money off of that. That's not customer-friendly; it's designed to maximize profits.

Very nice ambiance and delicious food. The only downside was that you could only pay in cash.

We were ripped off! We were charged over 80 for 0.5l beers, even though we only had 50! Never again!!!!!

The waiter with the braid is really unpleasant and aggressive. Please follow up.

The food was great, but I didn't like the toilets, the huge, dazzling TVs there, and the seating 🤷🏻🙂

Although they told us the drinks were open throughout the flight, the bar closed after the first drink. The old captain is very nice.

Right on the Rhine promenade. Delicious food, friendly and, above all, fast service (the restaurant was very busy), and there's loud music playing all day, and sports events are shown on TV.

We were there yesterday. The waiter, wearing a jogging jacket, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, was turned backward. I wanted a coffee and received a brusque rebuff. He told me he wasn't allowed to bring me a coffee in the front row. Okay, a Coke and a wine spritzer for my wife, please. We wanted the fried fish from Gosch for dinner. He explained that we'd have to get it ourselves. When I asked why no coffee, he replied, "It's a regulation from the public order office." Well, yeah, that's fine. The fried fish from Gosch was truly awful. The roll was a cheap pre-baked roll from a discount store, and the fried fish was breaded pollock from the discount store's freezer. We had to pay for the food at the counter. Although, in terms of quality, I've had better food at discount stores. When we tried to pay the waiter (€6.50 for a 0.5l Coke and €5.30 for a wine spritzer), he told me €14! I was taken aback; I had the impression he was trying to talk his way out of it. I'll leave it at that! Everyone should form their own opinion. Bottom line: very poor service, terrible food, Beautiful view.

Very pleasant place and excellent service. Very helpful staff. Excellent food. I recommend it.

They only accept cash. Conveniently, there's an ATM right in the restaurant for €6 per withdrawal.

Great location, super nice staff

Thank you for the service, but I had an unpleasant experience: I could only pay cash for €32, and even though I gave €3 more, I didn't get any change. I also find it incomprehensible that you even have to pay extra for the restroom in a bar/restaurant. It seems like they're exploiting the guests—a shame, because the location on the Rhine is actually very nice.

Here you can sit beautifully right on the Rhine and enjoy an aperitif? We didn't eat here.

The evening was a lovely end to our vacation. Our man of the evening was Talha, and he was always very attentive. It's always nice to be with you.

Very nice location. Beautiful view of the Rhine. Payment is only possible in cash.

Unfortunately, there's no Zero Coke available these days, and the Wiener Schnitzel is sold as Viennese style...a very bad scam. The location is very good, otherwise it would have been a maximum of one star.

Actually, it's a superb location with great service and drinks. One star deducted for the fact that card payments aren't possible, and above all, it's not mentioned anywhere. I was lucky that I was still able to pay my bill...

Beautiful weather, good vibes, like-minded people, having fun and enjoying...

Great atmosphere, nice view next to the rever. Just be aware that they only except cash payment.

Prices are reasonable, the location is perfect. The staffs are also really friendly

Everything is strange here…no card payments possible…

After a good walk, a pleasant break with a drink in the sun.

It was a great atmosphere again...I always enjoy being there👍

Yes, nice to linger, delicious food and delicious drinks.

Sitting by the Rhine and gazing at the evening sun. It gets crowded on trade fair days and weekends.

Kasematten Düsseldorf A fantastic location right on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf. It's amazing how much everything has changed here. A great party district. The Kasematten consists of several areas. You can watch the events on very large screens. The food is good...the drinks and, of course, the Alt beer too. There is no parking here.

Nice atmosphere, but wildberry lillet is a mini glass and practically no alcohol 😅 for almost 8 euros I would have expected more

The view is fantastic, right on the Rhine. The service is also okay... I wouldn't recommend the food, it feels like a mediocre chain restaurant, but it's okay if you're hungry. Only cash payments are accepted here, which I really don't expect in a "big city"...

A very cool and stylish venue. We were there on a Saturday evening with nice weather, and it was very busy, so you have to make concessions regarding the service provided by the staff; they had plenty to do. They could work on their friendliness. My cocktail was subpar; next time I'll just have beer or wine. I'll gladly go there again and recommend it to others.

Drinks unfortunately warm and boring.

So far so good...but unfortunately she doesn't serve any coffee and honestly they only accept cash payments now...that's a bit weak these days.

It was lovely there. Sitting by the water with a drink in hand made the place very authentic.

Oh, the speed is amazing. Ordered; it was already on the table. I rarely eat steaks, but this topped everything. The waiter with the braid who served us was attentive and on the ball. We'll be back!!

Despite having completely free seats, we weren't allowed to bring our stroller with our sleeping newborn to the table. The waiter chased us away with shouts of "Get out of here!" and we spent our money elsewhere.

Great location but the toilet solution is unfortunately absolutely inconvenient

We had pizza rolls and Altbier punch for lunch, both really delicious. The location is lovely, right on the Rhine. One star deducted for the fact that you only accept cash payments... it's simply outdated!

...was okay—lots of bars next to each other, a view of a river. Oh well...

We come to Düsseldorf every year because we used to live there. Now we live in the beautiful Palatinate region. When we were there a few times last year, we unfortunately didn't have such a great experience and didn't want to go back. But when we passed by after our Old Town tour, the waiter greeted us very warmly and asked if we wanted water for our dog. It was very warm, so we accepted the offer and decided to have something to drink. The waiter (Ufuk) was very friendly and attentive. He gave us excellent and expert advice about the white wine, Grauburgunder (we live in the Palatinate, where the wine is grown) and refilled our glass often, but a little at a time. The view is unique, and the food is delicious. See you soon....

Nice place in Sunset with beer & schweinshaxe!

Terrible atmosphere. We entered quietly and were escorted to our table. So far, so good. As we were walking, a waiter came around the corner, full of beer, and bumped into my wife. All the beer spilled onto the floor and onto her. This annoying man got angry and started yelling at us for who knows what. We had to pay attention and were a bunch of idiots (unfortunately, he said a lot more). We were also told to pay for everything and to leave. He also got physical with my wife. This has never happened before, and it was obviously our last time there. As long as they can make money as quickly as possible, it's fine. I'd say, close it quickly.

Price and performance are perfect, the food was also very tasty

We only had drinks, but the food looked excellent. Great atmosphere, fantastic ambiance, and excellent service. A must-see and a must-visit when in Düsseldorf. We'd happily go back.

Our food, apple strudel and hot chocolate, were rather poor. The portions were small. I've had better frozen apple strudel, and the hot chocolate was very watery without proper milk. It was also served in a glass without a handle, which is very impractical for a hot drink. Service was okay, but nothing more. The notice that only cash payments were accepted was quite rude. The atmosphere on the Rhine was quite nice, but very loud.

The Schlüssel an den Kasematten in Düsseldorf is a great spot right on the Rhine. The sunset view and relaxed atmosphere with good music are particularly beautiful. The drinks menu is appealing. A perfect place to enjoy an evening on the Rhine.

If you want to sit comfortably, watch the sunset, and have a drink, this is the place to be. The food is more like a good snack than a good meal, but that doesn't detract from the experience. The service is super friendly, personable, and welcoming. You sit fabulously right on the Rhine and can easily strike up a conversation with strangers (if you want).

Dont come here looking for breakfast at 1020 in the morning.

Great location...otherwise, you probably wouldn't go here specifically. It's just like many tourist hotspots that more or less run themselves...the food is "okay" (but nothing I'd go to specifically for dinner) and the service, when they do spot you, is friendly. Even on a weekday morning, we waited 20 minutes to place an order. Overall, there's still plenty of room for improvement.

Very friendly and attentive waiter. Great atmosphere and lollipops to go! :)

Recommended. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, avoid the weekends.

I'll pay at the checkout counters immediately after ordering in the future. This time, we had a common lid, which we had to share with about ten people. According to the waiter, it wasn't possible to have multiple lids for one table. Of these ten people, however, only six were part of our group. At the end, we had an unpleasant surprise: Apparently, the other four people had ordered drinks or bottles, which unfortunately hadn't been paid for. It was also strange that they said that they wouldn't give you a detailed bill upon request, so you wouldn't be able to figure out what was actually ordered. After counting several times, we couldn't get the total the waiter had mentioned. Well, okay—learned something new.

Great. I had currywurst with fries, delicious.

Yesterday I was here with my friends. The view was beautiful, the cocktails delicious. Unfortunately, the tables were sticky and the menus dirty. The service, however, was a disaster. When we paid, the waitress asked us if we knew that tips weren't included in the price because it was too low for her. When we replied, "Yes, but we don't want to give more," she said that the restaurant industry was going under because of guests like us. She also made other sarcastic remarks that ruined our mood. With service like that, you shouldn't even get a tip.

Great atmosphere, fantastic music, and a priceless view 😍, good food and reasonable prices, and good and fast service. I was there for a drone show and got a table without a reservation. I'd be happy to come back.

Cocktails with a hint of alcohol, yet you pay 10 euros+ Only drink beer and wine otherwise you're paying for something worth half of what you are getting.

Trendy crowd, fast attentive service

An absolutely fantastic evening at the Kasematten in Düsseldorf! The drinks were fantastic—ice-cold, delicious, and perfectly mixed. The pizza was incredibly tasty, fresh, crispy, and cooked to perfection. The DJ really delivered with his house music! Cool beats, perfect vibe—we didn't want to leave. A clear recommendation for anyone who loves good drinks, delicious food, and awesome music. I'll definitely be back! 🙌🎶🍕🍹

Been there...at Casemates for the first time... Strikingly expensive...but where isn't it?... Nice view towards the water...good...

Terrible ready-made food. Nothing but the ambiance. Cash only?! Best regards to the tax office.

Cash only! That's not possible!

Everything's fine, we'll be back

Beautiful location right on the Rhine Food and drinks at Gosch und Schlüssel are okay

The glasses were dirty. We asked for ice cubes. They didn't bring them until we'd finished our drinks. In the end, the Kaiserer took a tip for himself.

Great place right on the Rhine. Highly recommended for all ages.

It was actually very good, but the constant begging is annoying.

Not good, visit 7/25/25 Hard benches, no cushions, no backrest. Overwhelmed service. I ordered a medium-rare steak with chanterelle mushrooms for a reasonable price. I got a thin slab of steak that was completely cooked. The chanterelle mushrooms were mixed with vegetables, which tasted very bland overall. When I asked for salt, the worst came: the waiter brought paper salt packets. At these prices, that's hardly worth commenting on. Overall, it was very loud.

Always lovely, pure holiday feeling! It's always fun to chat with the waiter. The food is delicious, even when it's very busy!

Great place to go have a beer a slice of pizza as you're walking beside the Rhine River in Dusseldorf great atmosphere

Situation: Reservation via the website for the Frankenheim on a Saturday afternoon during the summer holidays, for 10 people. Answer: You don't need to make a reservation for a small group like yours with 10 people. We can easily accommodate you. No sooner said than done. So last Saturday, we stood at the entrance with our group and the first response from the "doorman" was, "No, we're full." We showed the email and, with gritted teeth, were assigned two tables, which, of course, weren't next to each other, and the group was split. So much for that! On top of that, the service was unfriendly and rude at the same time, and we left after one drink. What a shame!!!

We were there both in the afternoon and on Friday evening. Superb service, fast and very accommodating. Drinks were nicely chilled and the food was delicious. A great atmosphere in the evening, where you can still have a good conversation and party. Great! We'll be back

We went to the "Schlüssel" and had really good Altbier. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The waiters were very friendly. The seating was right on the Rhine. Beautiful.

I don't understand why you only pay in cash at Gosch! It's completely out of date. The food doesn't get a good rating.

The Pizza was delicious and the drinks really well priced! Staff very attentive and the atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon was great! They are cash only so make sure you don’t get caught out! Also the Wasps in the summer can be a problem!

The food was really good and I liked the location – nothing to complain about there. Unfortunately, the service was a huge disappointment: We had to wait over 25 minutes before we were even asked for drinks. When we finally paid and even tipped, we didn't get a "thank you" or a "goodbye." It's a shame, because that significantly dampened the overall positive impression.

I was there on a recommendation! There's nothing wrong with the atmosphere and people, but when it comes to the food, then unfortunately, yes. See pictures: These two hardly have anything to do with steak (rump steak & entrecote), and the taste was nothing. They didn't even ask if they wanted it well done or medium. Considering everything else on the menu, I hope it's edible, but when it comes to eating steak, no recommendation. They should probably remove it from the menu.

Kasematten Frankenheim is a cool location with a great view of the Rhine, Oberkassel, and the sunset. The waiter at Frankenheim was very friendly. What's an absolute no-go is that they only accept cash payments. Düsseldorf presents itself as an international, cosmopolitan city, and then only accepting cash payments. Absolutely not! So, bring enough cash.

Great location in the most beautiful city on the Rhine

When we're in Düsseldorf for concerts or something similar, we always head to the Kasematten on the Rhine promenade beforehand. It's always delicious and reasonably priced.
