Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg in Heidelberg

Actually recommended as a sophisticated restaurant in Heidelberg. The service was very friendly and impeccable. The food is in the upper price segment but very poor quality. There was wild boar sausage with red cabbage and mashed potatoes. The puree turns out to be a powder mass mixed with water. The sausages were pre-cooked and then “brought to life”. But they remained faded - despite good quality. Only the red cabbage was able to shine, but cabbage always tastes better when warmed up. Here quality and hospitality are sacrificed in favor of profitability (profit). It's a shame for such a nice restaurant in this atmosphere.

Their beers are so good! But the service is not. We could not properly chat with my colleagues due to constant interruption by different waiters. It felt like; either order new, or go away pls.

Great pork knuckle, skin is nice and crispy. Sauce of salad is also delicious.

Went to the restaurant for dinner. It's a very large restaurant and it was packed, so it was very loud. A long queue in front of the door on Saturday evening during the Advent and Christmas market. Nothing works without a reservation. We had reserved a table. Cordon Bleau was delicious, but the roulades were unfortunately dry. Unfortunately the deer back was gone. It was impressive how much food went out there in the evening. The food was good for that. The home brewed beer was delicious. 32€ for a Cordon Bleau is definitely too much!! All in all a nice evening.

We were only there to eat, it was very good. The service was also very good and we will definitely come back.

It was a good experience, the decoration is very cozy with a typical atmosphere that you expect from a town like this. Attention is a little slow; However, it is worth going because the food is delicious, especially the knuckle, it is what I would recommend the most. I loved this site.

Great location. Very good food. Very friendly and committed staff.

Tolles Essen, sehr aufmerksamer Service Natürlich recht laut, weil ein sehr großer Raum, aber für ein Geschäftsessen war das noch kein Problem.

Our meals were fabulous. I had the goose which was the best goose I have ever had me my wife had the pork which was so good

Were only in the restaurant. It was very tasty and the portions were big enough. Plus a friendly welcome and service at the table. We would come again 😊

We had dinner at the Kulturbrauerei. We did not stay at the hotel so this review is only about the restaurant. The people were very nice. The food is adequate, but not great. The atmosphere is like a big loud food hall and you probably share a table with people (which is fine). But the späztle was the worst I’ve ever had. The wildragout was not bad. I live in Berlin and work in Swabia, so know Swabian cuisine well. I would not eat there again and cannot recommend it.

Very professional restaurant in an old building. Very solid German food. Tastes good, portions could be larger. Prices are a bit too expensive. Service was always top. Beer was always very tasty too. Is a good address for Heidelberg, price-performance not perfect, rather a bit too expensive

Eine Brauerei wie man es kennt, war sehr gut. Allerdings war es sehr laut von der Akustik.

Wild ragout (€26.50) from the Kulturbrauerei restaurant in Heidelberg. Nice atmosphere, friendly and quick service. The food was excellent, fresh and homemade. Recommended 🙂

Food great Good beer Good brewery tour

Nice ambience, very tasty food and nice service - absolutely recommended!

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 5 und hatten einen schönen Abend, jedoch war eines der Essen (Kalbsbäckchen) zu stark mit Nelken versetzt. Als einzige Antwort vom Kellner bekamen wir hierauf nur, dass hätte Sie wohl schon mal gehört. Finde ich ein wenig schwach. Der Rest des Abends war gut.

Was there only for dinner. Wonderful staff, especially the 4 girls working there. Very friendly and professional. Made me feel like home

Fantastic restaurant! The interior is beautiful, the service is attentive, and the food is delicious. Great quality for the price—highly recommend!

Magical place. The food, as always, was simply great.

It was a cool rest with fresh seasonal beers. We tried Herbstbier and Kräusen and they were cool.

Das Essen war gut und innerhalb von 5 Minuten am Tisch, was auffallend schnell war. Leider war das Filet nicht mehr ganz so warm, ich vermute dass es vorgekocht wurde und warm gehalten wurde. Geschmacklich dennoch empfehlenswert, vor allem die Spätzle. Leider wussten wir nicht, dass es nur große Tische gibt, somit wurden wir bei fremden Leuten am Tisch platziert um die Tische zu füllen. Zudem war es ausgesprochen laut und lebhaft. Das muss man einfach mögen.

A nice atmosphere, super attentive and friendly service (thanks!) and good drinks. Unfortunately my roast was crustless. I noticed it briefly and thought I would get something, but then I didn't, what a shame.

restaurant The best beer in the world. Outstanding service. Great food. Uniquely beautiful atmosphere in the restaurant

With great excitement on the small card. Little food on it - this can only be a good thing. However, the opposite was the case: the roast was too weak, the spaetzle wasn't seasoned and the sauerkraut tasted straight from the can, apart from the few caraway seeds. The cranberry espuma on the game goulash is a have that is out of place. Pork fillet is much overcooked and the mushroom cream should be stirred once before putting it on the plate, so you can prevent the cream and moisture from being separated on the plate. But to all criticism, the salad was great.

We were in Heidelberg for a few days. Stopped in here on a Monday at lunchtime. The food was great and the best we've had in a long time. Great atmosphere, nice staff. And last but not least - the good beer!

Alles top. Preislich etwas high level, aber Essen und Ambiente waren super.

Very good food and fantastic interior

Freundlich empfangen! Hervorragend bedient! Sehr gut gegessen! Einfach schöne Stunden verbracht!

great service and food and beautiful location. Also for big groups!

Food is good, ambience OK (very loud), service subpar and the prices are completely exorbitant, for example bread as a starter for 13.5 euros - you get that on the house in other restaurants in the price range...

Dear Kulturbrauerei team, I like your brewery, but we have to talk about the cheese spaetzle that I got last night. 20 EUR for cheese spaetzle (with a small side salad) is already beyond the pain threshold. But if you only get a children's portion or a side dish for all that money, it gets stupid. Guys, cheese spaetzle is not a side dish, but a main dish, so it is not enough if you take a handful of spaetzle. The iron pan was maybe a third full or even less, no normal man can get enough of that!! If the next portion is as it should be, it will be 5 stars again.

Wer gute deutsche Küche liebt und sich unter Menschen wohl fühlt, der ist hier bestens aufgehoben.

The food was not good at all ! I love German and traditional food but the red cabbage was really gross, the gravy was very strange in flavor and so was everything else. I will not be returning and won’t suggest it to anyone who wants good traditional German food. Very dissatisfied

Lovely restaurant serving Germany food. Love the outdoor seatings and the indoor decor is stunning too. Food is amazing. Highly recommend.

Was only there to eat. Price/performance is completely justified. Super delicious food and fast and friendly service. Can only be recommended.

An Historical Restaurant with traditional German cuisine and beer. Food was good as per tradition. The place is very large but busy, service was good and quality of food. If you want to get a taste of the german cuisine I recommend this place in Heidelberg

A nice even 7.5. Good German experience! Quite busy.

It's not my first time there and I keep visiting it when I return to Heidelberg. Own beer and very good. Traditional dishes with good garnish. Group atmosphere at dinners. In summer a garden with a great terrace.

We had a very tasty meal there.

Beer and food incredibly delicious.

Das Essen war gut, die Bedienung sehr gut und die Gaststätte insgesamt sehr schön. Es ist natürlich alles auf Masse ausgelegt. Der Geräuschpegel in der Gaststube war bei voller Auslastung schon etwas lauter. Alles in allem war es ein schöner Abend.

Unfortunately we weren't very satisfied. We made a reservation online and wrote specifically that we were coming specifically for the pork knuckle. Reservations were made and we drove an extra 30 minutes just to hear that there was no knuckle that day. They could have done better and perhaps written an email to let us know. Food was lukewarm. The waiter who brought the drinks spilled my drink a little, not really bad, but our table was wet without him apologizing or cleaning it up. Too bad

We were there for dinner. The waitress had already told us that we only had 1 hour and 15 minutes to eat. It spoiled our mood a bit. Food was there extremely quickly and was also very good. Haxe was outstanding. Beer was great. That's why 5 stars

Quaint brewery where you can eat very well. When you were there, the restaurant was well attended and the food was served quickly. Very attentive, friendly service. You should go there if you are in Heidelberg

The three of us ate here and got a seat around lunchtime without a reservation. The food was very tasty and went very quickly. Service was also very nice! Unfortunately the prices were a bit high.. Would still recommend it!

Good German cuisine. The price is a little higher but the quality is also good. The portions could be a bit larger, especially for the price.

Beer is bad, food is poor value for money, service is okay. Super loud in the interior

The ambience and service were great, but the prices were way too high and the beer also left a lot to be desired. Portions are really small for the prices and the taste is average. I wouldn't go there again.

Unfortunately, the Wiener Schnitzel had nothing to do with a Wiener Schnitzel. Unfortunately, the fries were also way too salty. (For the price) In addition, all 3 homemade beers were not my cup of tea. Nevertheless, a very cool atmosphere and very nice staff.

We had a hotel in the old town and were only a few meters away. The many recommendations didn't promise too much - it was outstanding!!!! Both the staff and the food - if you don't want to eat "normal to good" you are in good hands here. We found it sensational. Reservation is perhaps important if you want to sit well ;-)

Trotz Reservierung wurden wir darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass wir aber nur 3/4 Stunde hätten, da der Tisch dann benötigt wird. Im Raum selbst stand die Luft. Mal ein Fenster für frische Luft zu öffnen wurde versäumt. Die Tischeinweiserin war sehr unfreundlich, aber unser Kellner war gut.

Best lunch i have in Germania. That was Crusted roast from the swabian heavy pig. Delicious! I was travel and visit restaurants all over Germany but this is special!

An incredible €33.50 for a relatively small Cordon Bleu. Taste ok but definitely not worth 33.50!! Really cheeky!

Had dinner here with 5 people. Good fast service, tasty food, German cuisine!

Lautes riesiges Bierlokal mit saftigen Preisen 12.90 Kürbis-Ingwer-Suppe, Zartes Schweinsfilet 24.50, Kaiserschmarren für 2 mit Pflaumen 19,90 Bierspezialitäten natürlich der Renner; Service aufmerksam; wegen der Preisgestaltung nicht so ganz meins und deshalb die Bewertung!

Our Viking tour of Heidelberg booked us here for "lunch with students" at the university. The meal was very good, with a set menu and options for vegetarians, and was served family style. We enjoyed all three courses and the free-flowing beverages, and of course, getting to know the students a little bit. Due to the weather we were seated indoors but the courtyard looked very appealing. Restrooms downstairs.

Beautiful inn. Colorful mix of young and old, locals and tourists. Excellent food.

This is about the Kulturbrauerei restaurant, not the hotel. The location is beautiful - located between Neckarmünzplatz and Karlsplatz, the building ensemble is a feast for the eyes. The restaurant itself is housed in a very tall building, chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and a view of Heidelberg can be seen on one wall - an impression of "shabby chic" arises. The tables are arranged in rows, so that you may have your own table but be directly adjacent to another group of visitors. But that only completes the impression of a brewery bar. It's cozy, you feel good. The service is also very attentive, quick and good. I'll explain why I only gave it 3 stars. The food was also good and sufficient. In addition to a nice, small standard menu, there is also a weekly menu with current specialties. In my opinion, the fact that one or two dishes were no longer available only showed that the ingredients were freshly prepared (contrary to other reviewers' assumptions) - yes, certainly prepared, because the finished dishes were brought to the table very quickly. But that's not negative either. The quality was very good and it tasted very good. So why only 3 stars? We arrived at the restaurant at 8 p.m. and sat and ate there until around 9:20 p.m. However, the last 20 minutes were relatively uncomfortable. On the one hand, this was due to the fact that it was cleared away rather hastily - even though we were still partly eating. I find this “pulling the plate out from under the cutlery” thing very unpleasant. You feel like you've been sitting at the table for too long and now you just want to cash in. That's really a shame. Secondly, around 9 p.m., we started setting up the tables - many were actually already empty - for the next morning. Dish trolleys were pushed through the aisles, and very noisily. And so in the end you had the impression that you were in a cafeteria or canteen rather than in a restaurant. Since the prices are not at this level (3 main courses, 3 small beers: around 100 euros), I don't think that's appropriate. It's a shame, because the location itself and the people there were really nice and recommended. But if you don't really feel welcome as a guest, you're left with a negative aftertaste.

excellent service large portions great german dishes excellent beer

For our taste, the Kulturbrauerei is a tourist “pass-through bar” that can only exist because of the amount of tourism. The food is mediocre and the beer is not at all tasty. There are only three types of beer (none of which we liked) - of course it's all a matter of taste, but in a brewery I expect different types of beer and perhaps a beer tasting with small tasting glasses. Even if you look in the corners, at and behind the counter, you can see that this restaurant is not run by people who put their heart and soul into it.

Tolles Restaurant, sehr netter aufmerksamer Service und das Essen war mega lecker.

What a fantastic dining experience! It had been a long time since I enjoyed a meal this good. The fish was absolutely wonderful, complemented by a rich, flavorful curry sauce and perfectly prepared rice. Even the bread was fresh and delicious—every detail of the meal was spot on. Though the restaurant can be a bit loud due to its historical charm, the beautiful setting more than makes up for it. Considering how busy it was, the meals were served surprisingly fast, and it’s clear the staff works together seamlessly. One thoughtful touch was when my partner was generously offered a salad in place of red cabbage—a rare and appreciated gesture. This place is a gem for both food and service!

Leckeres Essen, super Service (schnell und freundlich), schöne Location. Gute Auswahl an deutscher Küche. Tages/Wochenkarte noch vorhanden.

What a beautiful restaurant down deep in the town of Heidelberg. The atmosphere is wonderful and so is the food. It was a very enjoyable dining experience! Highly recommend.

Went here for dinner and a few beers. Service is super friendly and absurdly fast, so the main course was on the table 5 minutes after ordering. As stupid as it sounds, maybe wait a few minutes longer before eating, because that would make it seem like a hard mass. Otherwise absolute recommendation.

Drinking beer 🍻 is great, especially drinking it in a ceramic cup

Great delicious food, good location, cool staff

Nice ambience, great food and the best beer in Heidelberg!

We had a family meal at the Kultubrauerei. The building is beautiful, the beer garden is inviting. We ate well and enjoyed the delicious home-brewed beers. Not exactly cheap, and the service could be a bit more attentive. But we were in good hands.

Gemütliches Restaurant mit schönem Außenbereich. Sehr gutes Essen, freundliches Personal.

Favourite place to stay in Heidelberg. Great beer, comfortable rooms. Friendly and helpful staff.

I was recently at the Kulturbrauerei I felt comfortable there and drank a delicious shandy. Unfortunately, I left my sunglasses and case there. After a short phone call with the friendly staff, my glasses were sent home to me. Thank you very much for kindly dealing with my mishap. We'll be happy to come back.

We had a lovely evening of German beer, good food and good service (something that I feel is often lacking in Germany in general). The young lady (dark hair in pony tail and great smile) who attended our table was super lovely. She was energetic and on point about the menu. Duck was delicious and pork as well. Large, hearty portion. Not fancy but lovely and down to earth place , great to spend an easy going evening with mates, families and loved ones.

We ate there. Solid Baden home cooking. Seems to be essentially based on prepared foods and/or convenience. Definitely too expensive for that

We didn’t stay at the hotel but had dinner in its brewery / restaurant. Food and drinks were delicious!

It was really tasty. Typical German dishes. Had spare ribs 💪

Hele gezellige plek 0m te zitten. Eten viel echter tegen. Veel te zout en lauw. Duur ook nog vergeleken met andere restaurant in Heidelberg

Unfortunately, the food didn't convince us for the prices. Unfortunately, we left the restaurant pretty unsatisfied. The service was very nice.

Lunch at its finest, very good cuisine. Very attentive service, nice ambience and fine 🍺. Always happy 👍

Group of us ate here recently and it was excellent. Great quality traditional German food topped off with first class service. A great place to visit in Heidelberg !

Excellent ! Cadre typique. Venir je pense comme nous vers 14 h. Beaucoup de touristes. Nous avons choisi ce restaurant sur les dires du guide du routard ! Repas délicieux de plats typiques. Boulettes viandes avec une sauce et escalopes veau à se sucer les doigts. La bière est servie dans des bocks magnifiques et est très bonne. Le vin est parfait (pinot noir). Le personnel n est pas très chaleureux mais fait des efforts pour nous comprendre. Carte traduite en anglais. A recommander les yeux fermés ! Nous sommes prêt à rester un jour de plus pour revenir !! Prix compter 80e pour deux sans desserts. Attention la carte sur le site n est servie qu après 17h. Mais le midi la carte est excellente aussi.

Unfortunately I can't award stars for the food here. You might want to adjust that, you can only rate the accommodation. But we were only there to eat. And I have to say, the first thing that put me off was the prices, but you really get something on your plate for the price and, above all, the taste is really good. I thought the spray mist that was attached to the parasols was absolutely brilliant. How cool is that and why doesn't everyone who offers outdoors have that? Mega. This means you can cool down in hot temperatures, which is really good, and wasps are successfully driven away.

Absolute Empfehlung! Tolles Ambiente, leckeres Essen und nettes Personal! Wir kommen immer wieder gerne!

Het eten was zeer matig. Alles lang van te voren bereid en even opgewarmt. Geen aanrader.

Sehr nettes Personal. Auch das Essen wat sehr lecker.

We were there for dinner. Nothing was free in the old town. Maps then took us to the Kulturbrauerei. The food was very good. The service was very quick, extremely friendly and competent. The prices shocked us Saarlanders, but we are also in Heidelberg!!

Top Speisen in super Ambiente und kompetente Mitarbeiter Gerne wieder

Really great experience and not madly busy with tourists

Beautiful building, large terrace, good food and friendly service. We had dinner here with 2 teenagers and a German friend. They got her dog a bowl of water without us having to ask. There is no children's menu, my daughter chose the schnitzel and that was a good choice. Delicious country bread with dips. Furthermore, the chicken in coconut curry sauce is very tasty.

We both enjoyed the food very much. The crusty roast is particularly highly recommended. The waitress was extremely friendly and even took the time to play with our little son, which we really appreciated. The outdoor area is pleasant, quiet and shaded, ideal for relaxed al fresco dining. The high rooms inside also contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. An all-round successful restaurant experience!

Nice hotel with its own beer, in the middle of the old town. Very friendly service

sehr schönes Ambiente und super leckeres Bier und Essen!

The service and the food were wonderful, very tasty, but unfortunately I have to complain about one thing, otherwise it's always the non-smokers who complain, now the smokers, I think it's ok that we're no longer allowed to smoke inside, I'm totally along with it, but Now the non-smokers are also complaining that smoking is no longer allowed outside, which is not fair to the smokers. Sorry.

Great place to eat, somewhat away from the main square. With good weather it’s nice to sit outside, there are mist sprayers to keep the temperature at a reasonable level and the tables and chairs are comfortable. The place services a variety of good beers and has a menu full of German dishes that go very nicely together with their beer. Prices for food and drinks are very reasonable while portion sizes will most likely not leave you hungry afterwards. Highly recommend place to have dinner or just to have a beer.

Very pleasant hotel, centrally located, parking only 5 minutes away. Very friendly reception.

The beer is super tasty. Service was nice and quick (but it wasn't busy) The food was OK (the sauce needed more flavor)

Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön, allerdings war der Lärmpegel durch eine Gruppe sehrbstörend

The beer tastes very good... Would deserve 5 stars. BUT The stone jars should also be filled up to the calibration mark. Maybe the responsible office should take care of it. Something like that doesn't work at all 👎

Food and beer were very good. However, outdoor area has a wasp problem that needs to be addressed. One of our party was stung and we were plagued by wasps for a good chunk of our meal, as were other tables. The restaurant needs to find the nest, deploy bait traps, or maybe leave the water mist on (which seems to discourage the wasps.
