Ols - Brauhaus am Hafen in Oldenburg (Oldb)

Fantastically located, very tasty food

Lara and Sally are simply the best service people in the world and both deserve an uprank kiss on the nut ❤️

We have been to Ols several times now. Basic good food without a lot of frills. A highlight are the home-made beers. So why the average rating? As soon as the outside temperature has reached 20 degrees, you can expect relatively long waiting times and piping hot beer because the crowd is so large. Unfortunately, that's no fun!

Pleasant, modern restaurant with very friendly staff! Will visit again! 👍

Great location and delicious food and beer!

Um 20:30 Uhr war ich im Lokal. 20:40 Uhr wurde ich gefragt, ob ich etwas bestellen würde. Die Kellnerin würde kommen. Um 21:00 Uhr kam ein Kellner und nahm die Bestellung auf. Leider habe ich um 21:45 Uhr immer noch nichts bekommen. Weder ein Getränk noch mein Snack. Die Bestellung digital aufzunehmen, zeigt sich mir kompliziert. Ich stand auf und fragte eine andere Kellnerin, ob ich unsichtbar als Einzelperson sei. Ich kann dieses Lokal leider nicht empfehlen. Leider wurde mir auch nichts entgegengebracht. Und tschüss wurde mir gesagt. Das ist sehr schade.

Good beer, nice staff and delicious herink. It is worth a visit.

Nice brewery with delicious beer, there are also beers from branded breweries. Nice location, you can hang out here. Food is also very tasty.

Good brewery with delicious beer and reasonable food.

Unfortunately we were unlucky. According to the very friendly service employee, we were there at 2 p.m. too “early” to get a cold beer. And this in a brewery where beer should be the core competency. Ours was stale and way too warm. We didn't eat because we had already heard clear criticism in advance from two tables next to us. Cold potato wedges, salad with asparagus with hardly any asparagus. We're still thinking about our next visit.

We came as group for dinner and beer. The beer and the staff was superb. The waitress had her first evening and she did a fabulous job trying to serve us. Her colleagues supported her. It was simply a great team. The food. Nothing to write about. Most of us had schnitzel. Some pork and others veal. When served the schnitzels looked identical with the same batter showing that it had been prepared in too much grease. The fried potatoes sailed in its grease and finally the so-called bearnaise sauce reminded me more of mayonnaise than a sauce. The three stars is only given due to the beer and the staff

Nicely located on the river, small outside bar. Very crowded on warm days. Good selection, tasty food, friendly staff, but understaffed on our evening, so waiting times were quite long. Toilets are a bit difficult to find. Stem fits in the restaurant.

The schnitzel was very tasty. Unfortunately, the cranberries that were on the menu were missing. That's what there was mayo for. Otherwise the toilet is a bit difficult to find, but still doable. All in all, it was a wonderful and enjoyable evening!

Brewery inn at the old harbor with good beer and food and friendly, courteous service.

Most of our own beers have not been available for months. There is no notice on the website or on Facebook. If you sit outside in the back area there is only a limited beer and menu. Here, too, there is no information on the table.

The pollack fillet from the “Fish/Dippers” dish was cooked into wet fish pulp in the thick batter.

Delicious beer, great atmosphere

Wow, what a big store! The service was really great – very friendly and with a nice dose of humor. We were also impressed by the home-brewed beer, really tasty! Unfortunately, we were not satisfied with the food in our group. My fried potatoes seemed like convenience food and were only served lukewarm - so I didn't eat them. For the food, 2 stars would actually be generous, but because of the great service and the quality of the beer, it deserves some improvement overall.

Nice place near the water. Food or service.... nothing special.

Delicious food and large portions, good beer.

Highly recommended. The beer is very good!! Food is also absolutely recommended.

In the summer there by the water with a delicious oil, there is little better! Food is absolutely fine there too :)

Achtung Abzocke! Wir haben zwei Gläser Apfelsaft bestellt. Mehr als 30% des Getränkes bestand aus Eis. So kann man Kosten sparen. Die Bedienung meinte nur, wir hätten sagen müssen, daß wir Saft ohne Eis haben wollen. Eis ist grundsätzlich nicht schlecht, aber nicht so.

Service Doesn't see guests, walks past back and forth. Unfortunately it's not that clean either

Discovered spontaneously, very tasty fish & dippers and of course the beer 😁🤩

It was not possible to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere and fully appreciate the establishment, as we only peeked in to try the signature Oldenburg beer and drank it outside on the summer terrace. Served by a nice girl, but it seemed that she was not very kind to our company, maybe because we did not communicate very well in German

... outside there is a beautiful location right on the water... the alcohol-free Ols is great -☆☆☆☆☆

Kadir best man, best regards Sigma boy

The lunch buffet was definitely worth the money! The service was very friendly.

Great Bar Service and nice young barkeeper. So thank you Ben and cheers 🍻

I had the impression that singles who sit there alone are served a little less attentively - or is it "normal" to wait 50 minutes for their food? The tarte flambée was okay, just slightly seasoned.

Nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The service was great - dynamic and friendly. The food was very tasty. Great flavor components and good quality. I can highly recommend the Ols Dark Lemon.

The food and the staff were very friendly. The food selection and the portions are large. A unique criticism: two beers were already sold out at 5 p.m.

Actually, I should have followed my rule (if there's nothing going on at the best time, it's better not to go in) or read the negative reviews beforehand. But unfortunately I fell into the trap. I have nothing to complain about (unlike some others here) about the ambience and service. Even more so when it comes to eating! I ordered the Brauhaus Schnitzel with fried potatoes, hollandaise and cucumber salad. At a price of €18.90, I was sure I was getting restaurant quality. It also came very quickly - as was the disillusionment: schnitzel was frozen food thrown into the deep fryer (I can bring it to the chip shop, but not to the restaurant). The fried potatoes were hidden under the stuck-together (!) schnitzel and 1/4 of them were already completely fried. The hollandaise, served separately, was simply poured cold into a small bowl. Why bother with the water bath? When asked if everything was okay, a clear no. After explaining my claim, I was offered to speak to the boss - but he was no longer in the house at the best time. Ultimately there was a discount on the food because of the disappointment, which is ok - I still won't be back.

Always beautiful! ☺️ Thank you, Oils!

We were there yesterday with 11 people (we had reserved in advance). We had to wait two hours for our food, even though we ordered it in advance, which is really sad. Too bad

Been here for the second time and again it was a culinary highlight! Matjes are above average, as are spinach dumplings. You are happy to accept the longer waiting time. And the beer is also something special. If you visit Oldenburg, you shouldn't miss the Ols. The only minus, which didn't concern us, was that the toilets are not barrier-free and you have to go down steps.

Ich bewerte heute nur mal die Damentoilette. Klobürste lag auf dem Fussboden. Handdesinfektionsmittel war leer. Seifenspender hing "auf halb acht" zwischen den Becken. Ich hoffe das war nur eine Tagessituation....dürfte in meinen Augen dennoch kein Zustand in einem Restaurant sein.

The location and the beers are really great and the service situation has improved a lot!

Super nice service Everything great Again and again

Very nice staff and great food. Always worth a visit.

We had reserved the glass tent and had a lovely evening there. Dear Kadir was particularly nice and attentive.

Very disappointed with the hamburger. The meat is firm, tough ((like frozen and heated in the microwave) Overall taste not particularly tasty and aromatic, cheapest ingredients! Sorry, I expect better for this price. Fries really aren't particularly tasty and too salty too bad:( The servive was very friendly, thank you :)

We had a wonderful evening with delicious beer and food. Very special thanks to Kadir who gave us the best service you could wish for. We'd love to come back ☺️

Here is a suggestion for your Google rating for the Ols Brauhaus in Oldenburg: "A visit to the Ols Brauhaus is always a highlight! The welcome is northern, but warm, just as you would hope. The food is great - I always treat myself to the Matjes Hausfrauen style, and it is a pleasure every time. There is also an excellent selection of beers that leaves nothing to be desired. The young, friendly team creates a great atmosphere with their relaxed and attentive manner."

Waited a long time for two cold tarte flambées! Staff tried hard, but unprofessional. Beer delicious.

Coffee tasted delicious. Service is quick. Price, 4.90 per large cup of coffee is a lot of money.

Very long waiting time. Waited over an hour to eat and then the schnitzel was quite small and the fried potatoes were barely toasted. Price/performance is not right

Very nice here, we were only there to drink

Service top, food top and beers for every taste. Again and again a Rhinelander says with joy!!

Always happy to be there. Perfect North German ambience. Beer and food were super delicious

In summer it's a dream to sit outside. The beers are simply delicious and I love the Black Betty. Unfortunately the food is too expensive for me and the portions are rather small.

Great place to combine a beer with something to eat, much more in the summer. Unfortunately, the Backfisch was a cheaper frozen frying variant, which could really be improved.

Insanely great restaurant right on the water. The vegan kale can't be beat and the beer is fantastic!

Great food, good ambience and friendly staff. The kale plate is really highly recommended.

Wide choice of draft beer. The own beers are fine. I think the pilsner, schwarzbier and IPA are recommended. The service at the bar varies in quality. Personal curiosity and contact would make it more pleasant. Not every bartender understands that here. The beer knackers are highly recommended.

Delicious food and cozy bar, lots of choice of tap beers.

Der Wiskey Cola war gut, sogar sehr gut, ich hätte trotzdem gerne einen Long Island gehabt. Bitte zeitnah der Karte hinzufügen, danke im Vorraus.

We only drank but service took a really long time for 4 beers. What a shame Beer but good

There's a parking garage nearby, pretty comfortable

Spontaneously got a place for 2 in the winter garden Food is really outstanding (kale and schnitzel) Portions are filling and not excessive Service is super friendly Ambience great Will come again!

The food is fresh, rich and very tasty!! Unfortunately the service was very inattentive.

Quaint local. Unfortunately, when we walked in it smelled like sour beer. Two hundred of us were assigned a small round table. Cards were delivered quickly, but we had to wait about 15 minutes before we could place an order. The service was quite friendly, but quite slow. A good hour after entering the restaurant we got our food: schnitzel with fried potatoes and currywurst with dippers. The Schnitzel was extremely thin, almost more breading than meat, tasted okay. The small cucumber salad consisted of 6 slices of cucumber... Overall, absolutely expandable.

Very tasty, fast, attentive and friendly service...we'll be happy to come back 👍

The most beautiful spot in Oldenburg to spend a relaxing evening, perfect location right on the harbor, great service and of course only good beer! I can only recommend it!

The burger is nothing special for 18.90 euros and therefore very disappointing. Beer delicious and service friendly!

Great restaurant with delicious food open 7 days a day. Large selection of drinks and food. Perfect for eating and drinking!

Fast, friendly service. The food was very good 👍

The visit to Ols Brauhaus was the culmination of a week of travel. We had the kale platter and the veal schnitzel. Highly recommended. The service was extremely friendly and competent.

I was in Oldenburg on business and was invited to the OLs in a large group. Everything worked out for me. The food was delicious, even the vegetarian-oriented colleagues found something. If I were to end up in OL privately, OLs would be on the shortlist.

The food tastes good and the portions are not too small. Of course the beer is in the foreground.

I like to come: the beer is very good. Only the waitress saw us late, it took a while.

I was at a wedding party. The ambience was great. There was delicious food to match the rustic room.

Delicious food, attentive and friendly service and a nice ambience, whether inside or outside

Great event location, delicious beer 🍺 very nice. We'll be back.

The OLs is always in the basement. I particularly like the OLs Dark. I visit the associated restaurant more often, like last night. And as always: Well attended but we managed to get a table, GREAT service (thanks Sabrina!) and delicious food! Really recommended. It's a shame that there are still no peanuts or something similar to order for "dessert"! Ambiance deducted one star because unfortunately it happens more often, including yesterday, that the toilets are unkempt (large puddles of water here) and the paper towel dispensers are empty. These dispensers also have a manual dial that you have to turn to get paper replenishment. It's disgusting when you see how some people use their fingers...

Great here, nice to sit there, nice atmosphere, very pleasant, we like it a lot

Always happy to come here again and again

Ols beer is a loyal companion at home. But we hadn't been to Ols itself until that evening. We weren't disappointed! We already knew what the beer tasted like, but the food was also fantastic. In addition, the view of the harbor is really beautiful when the sun is shining! The only suggestion for improvement: The service staff is very friendly, but unfortunately you have to spend a lot of time outside before you are served... Nevertheless, we will definitely come back!

Things have slowed down a bit, especially the previously ultra-tasty goulash is no longer available. Drinks and ambience still first class..

Nice cozy restaurant in the center with many beers on tap, including mainly beers from the own brewery. Food was okay too.

Yesterday we spontaneously opened at Ols am Hafen, it was very busy but we still had a lovely evening with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. To our delight, we met the friendly service from Ahoi, who always rounded off the evening in a friendly manner and with a smile. We'll definitely be back.

Visiting there again after a long time. The staff was totally overwhelmed that evening. Waited forever for the menu and no one came to take the order. After a long wait we got up and left. The waitress didn't notice you leaving the restaurant. Service wasn't even worth 1 star this time. Very unfortunate.

Update 2024, no service and absurd prices. Goulash 3 pieces and 10 potatoes €23.90. Decide for yourself. If you don't have to go, you won't get anything to drink anyway. Service makes an effort but there is either nothing at all or the wrong thing. The icing on the cake was that the bartender almost dipped his fingers into the glasses and then filled them without rinsing. Bah! I'm never going there again.

Yesterday we spontaneously went to eat there again after a long time and got a good seat inside. We had a top waitress (blond hair and glasses) who could do her job, and we had rarely laughed so much and been treated as warmly as a guest as yesterday. That was rather difficult last time and not always like that in Ols. The food was also very good! Thank you again for the lovely evening!

Not the entire outdoor area is catered for. We had to order our own drinks at the counter from an incredibly bad-tempered waiter and carry them out ourselves. Plus high prices. In the past the food was also rather bad. In our opinion, the restaurant only survives because of its location.

The service was good, but unfortunately my goulash wasn't particularly seasoned and didn't really taste like goulash. The tarte flambées were also rather mediocre - the sauces on them weren't really convincing, and overall everything was quite dry.

23 counts beautiful sunny day. When we arrived at Ols, we visited the interior after 20 minutes to find out that they can't take orders at the moment because they can't keep up with the cones. We were asked to move from the outside area to the inside area so that they could provide the service even though the outside area is also part of it. Conclusion: we went and unfortunately I can't recommend the location once again.

Super tasty food and drinks. Very friendly service. Nice ambience. What more could you want?

Have been there several times in the outdoor area. Unfortunately, the service so far has been very limited. We thought... well, since the Corona period you have to be happy that there are staff there at all. But today I have to express my displeasure: I literally had to beg to place an order. Receive drinks. After 20 minutes and after repeated requests we received the menu. 30 minutes later we still couldn't get our food order out. Then got up to pay at the counter. Wasn't possible. Only when it came to service was the answer rude. What if there is no service? Our criticism was only apologized tersely. It doesn't work at all. You don't need to be treated like that. There are much better places in Oldenburg.

The location might be the best, or at least one of the best, in the entire city. Next to the harbour, near to the center, not far away from the train station. A perfect place for an after-work beer. The food is fine, not so many choices but all I have tried was quite good.

A somewhat boring menu but there are many different types of beer. However, the Bieramisu is highly recommended, as is the white cabbage roulade, the only vegan main course.

a great place to have a good time and relax. Admire the setting sun. The only little thing is that on the street, in the bar, you can't pay in cash, only with a card. However, this problem can be solved on the spot if you go to the cafe and pay the waiter there.

Nice place at the harbor, good beer. The food was inedible. Even in a bistro you can expect fish in fresh batter. Instead there was frozen fish in dry industrial breading, probably from the microwave. Unworthy of a port city!

The view of Oldenburg Harbor is enchanting.

Great load! Very nice, courteous service. When the weather is good you can sit wonderfully on the edge of the harbor. I'd love to come back!

Unfortunately the food wasn't really tasty... The buffet had already been selected... Sausages were very salty... I ordered drinks and they arrived quickly... Unfortunately, three other staff members simply walked past the table without asking.

Good beer and good food, great service and atmosphere! Recommended if you are in Oldenburg.

There is everything your heart desires here. Good food, wonderful beer and very attentive service. Just ask for Kadir. Especially if you are here with children. We always called him the “cheeky wizard.” Let yourself be surprised. 😍

Rustic restaurant with top beer and a great view of the harbor
