Peters Brauhaus in Köln

A pleasure for the young at heart

A typical Cologne brewery. Our Köbbes Christian is a typical Köbbes, but he was nice and also fulfilled special requests (water, coffee, tea) in our group. Of course, a Kölsch is always faster! A very nice end for our group after an unfortunately rainy city tour. Gladly there again!

Quite touristy but still very good. Seated quite quickly despite the line. The staff were quite curt however service was quick and to the point. Food came out really quickly for the amount of people there and was delicious - really good, flavourful cabbage salad and the beef in raisin sauce was tender and tasty. The non-alcoholic drink was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

Cozy brewery bar, lots of space and giving off old vibe. Love the food and the fact the beers keep coming!

During our visit, we experienced extremely uncomfortable behavior from a group of other guests, and unfortunately, the staff did not respond when we sought help. When we asked to move seats, we were told it was not possible. We decided to leave early, but were still asked to wait for the bill while the uncomfortable situation continued. From the moment we entered, we felt unwelcome, and the lack of support made the experience worse. This was very disappointing and upsetting for us.

Very authentic brewery, very nice Köbes Christian, who was business-minded but not pushy and remained very nice despite the full house! We had a lot of fun in a larger group and ate delicious food.

Unfortunately, absolutely no recommendation – never again! We were there with a group of 8 people and have already experienced many breweries in Cologne - but we have never experienced such unfriendly service. The tone was disrespectful and simply underground. It felt like our presence was a burden. As for the food itself: It was what you would expect from a brewery – solid, but nothing special. Unfortunately, five dishes had to be returned because they were served incorrectly. Something can go wrong with a larger group, but in such numbers it is simply not acceptable. The ambience was fine, but the poor service ruined your entire mood. We would have liked to leave the restaurant straight away. It's a shame - what should have been a nice visit to the brewery turns into a real disappointment.

We ended up at Peters again for a standing beer (because we still had to wait for the train). Delicious beer, nice Köbes, also for our teenagers, first class service. Always my pleasure!!!!

To cut a long story short: it was the first and last time there. Food was okay to okay, but too little and too expensive. Service not available at all. At the end the waiter wanted to take a tip, even though firstly he didn't deserve it and secondly I didn't tell him that he would get anything. It's rude to assume that. No benefit, no extra money.

We had a really great day at Peters Brauhaus. We were there with a large group and our Köbes Christian looked after us very well. Super nice guy!!!

Portions really too small, had the plate with black pudding and sauerbraten. The taste is really not bad but for this portion €23 is a joke. No lie, the plate was empty after 5 minutes

Thanks for a great evening! We had a lot of fun and ate well!

We have never had a meal go back. However, the meat was so tough that you couldn't even cut it. The “new” meat was a little better, but still not good. Unfortunately

Disappointing. We returned after 8 years with some friends speaking well of the place and the food and I left ashamed of the service and the food. We ordered some baked knuckles that were served overheated and hard, the waiters with bad manners did not allow us to sit next to the windows at tables that were not reserved and they shouted us to sit in a dimly lit indoor dining room. At the end of the meal, in order to charge us, they demanded that we put the tip we wanted to give in the account, which seemed a bit awkward to me because the waiter was standing in front of us waiting for him to enter the amount so he could charge us. In short, a place that is not recommended for food and service.

Delicious food, typical Cologne atmosphere, great service (but put a felt on your glass if you have enough 😉).

A splendid beerhouse. Mainly set up for food but there is a small drinking area. Paulicarus, Boothroyd and I have never had their Kölsch beer. Very good. Very traditional with lots of dark wood. Quiet at noon but filking up rapidly. Food smells lovely! 0.2l beer for 2.30€.

Was served by absolutely the rudest waiter. Brought a group of friends that were visiting Köln, and left the worst impression. I’ve come before and had a great experience but this time around was terrible, he made us feel unwelcome and made it feel like he was doing us a favor by waiting us. Sadly won’t be coming back, used to be my go-to.

Food, super tasty 😋 also the Kölsch... TipTop. So, all in all...recommended.

Nice atmosphere and very good Kölsch. We were lucky and came to the restaurant on Easter Monday without a reservation. The service was very nice and accommodating. We thought it was cool that people still write on the beer mat in the classic way. The food was very tasty and attractively served. I would come back anytime if I visit Cologne again.

What a fantastic experience, this was our second time and it did not disappoint, fantastic and attentative staff, great atmosphere and super quality food and drink! We will see you again!

Super friendly service. We had good space and the food was good too. Price performance was good. Have lunch for 10 euros with chicken and salad. Great, I'll come back when I'm in Cologne. The only negative point is. I would have liked to buy another t-shirt but unfortunately I didn't have an XL.

One of the best breweries in Cologne.

Wouldn't eat there again. Very loud and mass processing. Becomes noticeable when eating.

Very nice and cozy Brauhaus with of course the accompanying Kölsch. The traditional beer as it is brewed in Cologne and served in 0.2l glasses. It seems as if the glasses cannot be emptied. And in principle that is correct, because every time the glass is empty it is immediately replaced by a full glass. The advantage is that you always have a fresh and cool glass of Kölsch in front of you. In addition to the beer, the food is also of solid and proven German quality. Many local and well-known dishes from all over Germany are served quickly and friendly. The staff really does their best to make everyone happy and even when the Brauhaus is completely full, they manage to provide customers with all orders.

Atmosphere great, Kölsch highly recommended. The waiter didn't have his best day in terms of friendliness and the food - well - I've had better and cheaper in other Cologne breweries. It's better to reserve a table otherwise wait a few minutes until something becomes available.

Real Köln experience. Food was great, beer was awesome. Service was excellent. Only positive vibes

Restaurants recommended by locals Zan Zan

We had to wait in line to get in, because we had not booked in advance. The dishes are quite expensive, since it is a fairly touristy restaurant. My only complaint is that we had to leave a 10% tip, as we felt quite pressured by the waiter. I highly recommend the cheese and sauerkraut soup with bratwurst pieces.

Absolutely luxurious potato soup, they served us well, they were nice to us 🙂 Thank you ❤️

Extremely unfriendly service staff

Good food and delicious beer😁👍🍀

Mega location but the cellars are as unfriendly as hell.

This place doesn’t even receive one star. If there’s a negative rating, it would have been negative 5. Firstly, service was super bad. He forced us to refill beers when we didn’t ask too. My friend ordered drinks but he looked at my friend and ignored her. Super rude because he heard but he turned his head away. The waiter rushed us to finish our food towards the end when we haven’t finish. No pictures for my review because nothing is worth for memories here. What an “ amazing “ place for drinks 😃

Very good tasty food. The staff is friendly and very attentive. Highly recommended.

Very nice staff, food was great, highly recommended!

Were very, very unfriendly, I can't recommend it!

We got the beef with kölsch sauce and schnitzel, both came with a side coleslaw-like salad and beef came with a red beet side dish. Both were really filling and delicious. The service was VERY slow though, we asked for bread early on and it came after we were finished. We also waited a lot to pay. Other than the slow service we were very happy and would come again when we don't have a train to catch!

I found this place on timeout recommendations so thought I'd try it out. Service was good and the recommendations on food was on point. The food presentation was good and the meal sizes are massive. Interior was nice too. We didn't sit in the room with the stain glass window but that room was so beautiful. If you're visiting Cologne, I'd recommend visiting.

The food was very traditional german, compained with pricey but fresh kölsch, the service was kind and helpful, we will be back for sure!

A nice restaurant. I recommend you try it. We queued at the door. When there was a suitable table, they immediately let us in. The wait is short. It has good ventilation. A warm environment.

Knuckle was not crispy. Asparagus are fresh and yummy. Chill beer

Very good kölsch and apple strudel!!

The best thing about the restaurant is that it has the menu in Spanish... 4 people arrived for dinner early and we ordered 2 starters, 1 salad and 2 baked knuckles, the knuckles took exactly 1 minute and a half from when we ordered them (logically they were not freshly made, they were overheated from the food and harder than a shoe sole, the pâté and the herrings arrived later and were not bad... and when we had finished they brought us the salad, a disaster... the worst thing was at the Go out and see a waiter carrying some plates covered by a plastic lid to a terrace they have outside and when he tripped the lids fell to the floor and another waiter put them back on the plates and that's how they were served... really vomiting

German pig trotters are pretty good Beer is the signature You can eat it and see

Because yesterday I drank Peter's Kölsch in a great restaurant in Linz and I enjoyed it TOTALLY, I persuaded my husband to eat at Peter's Brauhaus today. The beer tasted very tasty here too. However, the calibration line was not necessarily taken into account. I found the prices of the dishes to be very high, considering that the puree comes from a bag, the sauce has never seen a roast in its life and the salad was drowned in a ready-made sauce. The dishes are designed to please the masses. If you expect sophisticated dishes that taste really good, you've come to the wrong place. It's actually sad and a shame about the food. I've been to several breweries. Unfortunately, I didn't like it here the most. Too bad. The service was okay. I thought the atmosphere was great. Above all, it wasn't as loud as in other breweries. Even though it was well attended, we didn't have to shout at each other. Conclusion: If you want to drink good beer and are easy to please when it comes to food, this is the place for you.

Yes, it is central and yes, it seems authentic at first - but you won't find any “locals” here. The “admission director” isn’t there for a while; At the waiting tables you are more in the way, the tables are too small and are very narrow. The food is solid but not enlightening and unfortunately the portions are too small - especially the schnitzel. The waiters are awake and on their toes, as you would expect from breweries.

Excellent place, nice decoration. Good food. Bad service.

Real Cologne brewery, conditions that we know and love in Cologne. Great food, good prices, incredibly nice restaurant atmosphere

Good Köbes, everything went well and tasted good!

Authentic brauhaus, friendly service and okay price/quality. Highly recommended when visiting the city.

We always enjoy coming here. You can also eat well here and the service is very friendly.

Typically Cologne brewery. Good drinks, home-style cooking and friendly, Cologne-style service. Go and experience it! 👍

Great beer. Popular. Come off hours or expect to wait.

Spectacular decoration, very good service and quality food.

Went here on a beer tour. Good food and great beer!

Yes, but there is no dialect spoken here

Nice place to go and eat some typical German homemade food accompanied by a local Kölsch beer. Only negative is that is too touristy and therefor you get served too quickly in my opinion

Very nice brewery, nice service and excellent price-performance ratio, we would like to come back….

We were at the brewery on a Saturday. The food was tasty and came relatively quickly. Normally I avoid going somewhere for lunch on a Saturday because it unfortunately feels like a mass rush. Same on this day. The food was carelessly prepared, so I would have preferred to wait a little longer. Nevertheless, I would come back, just next time on a quiet day. The waiters were very friendly and took their time with the orders even though it was very busy. Every now and then people asked whether everything was OK.

We came across Peter's Brauhaus by chance. The food was very, very tasty and rich. The service was quick and careful. Clear recommendation!

Really good Kölsch. You may have to wait in line

Very friendly and bright waiter, always happy!

Unfortunately we left without even trying the food. We were hoping to sit outside and enjoy our meal, but we were very rudely reprimanded twice. We also asked where to sit and were told to just choose a table. When we sat down, it was rudely explained to us that 1. the tables were not available if the chairs were ajar, and when we moved around, 2. that the table was not available because there were still dirty glasses on it. Both times we were treated in an incredibly rude tone, which is why we left. It's disappointing to be treated this way, especially when there is a simple issue or misunderstanding about the space. I expect a lot more politeness from a place trying to attract customers.

I haven't been there for a long time because 6 months ago I didn't think the food was good. But now I wanted to try it again. Extremely disappointed again. Service waiter great. friendly as always and always ready for a chat. Now the kitchen. I have been a master chef myself for many years and am now retired. I wanted something quick and easy to eat. Ordered schnitzel with potato salad, 5 minutes later the gray thing came to the plate. Finished potato salad from the bucket, shaped schnitzel 2 pieces. Same size so TK.Ware. Frozen. Fried in the hairdresser Garnish, unwashed lettuce leaf, cucumber slice and tomato wedge Schnitzel dry potato salad Bruckmann. No more Peter's Brauhaus at the cathedral. But colleagues warned me

So far this has been a nice starting point for our company. The food is good, but unfortunately the friendliness is no longer present when there are more visitors. Due to the disrespectful and extremely unfriendly behavior, we will refrain from further visits.

Unfortunately, the food is just average and doesn't blow anyone away. The lighting is a bit dim when eating, the service seems unfocused, brings the wrong drink and billing doesn't seem to be their strength either. There are plenty of better breweries!

The place is beautiful, the service is good Food was disappointing, potatoe soup extremely salt. My husband appetizer, the description was much better than the reality, which was only a bread and a piece of cheese

A good place to eat traditional German food. Kölsch is tasty but you have only 0.2cl optiom in the menu which is very small to be honest.

Typical German place, ideal for a nice evening and a kölsh.

If you want authentic German food, beer and atmosphere then this is the place for you .

Authentic germany! I wish I knew about this places when I started living in Europe. It is simply amazing to go to a place filled with people having a great time with good bear, a meal and a laugh. Recommended.

An authentic German location with delicious cuisine. I recommend with love!

Come to Cologne every couple of years for a trade fair. Never miss a visit to Peter's.

Traditional and well known. Without a reservation it will be difficult. Schnitzel was tasty and service was okay too.

The desserts are amazing, and the beer was pretty good, too.

An authentic Cologne restaurant where you can enjoy moderate taste at a reasonable price

The place is original and the food is very good. We were served by a very friendly Italian waiter.

Excellent Traditional German food on old market area

We absolutely enjoyed our meals we had. The lady serviced us can speak good English, the meal size is massive and delicious! I would recommend this restaurant.

Always delicious! Cozy & good :)

Great carnival party. Mixed audience. The Kölsch tasted good. Fast service.

The food is nothing special but the apfelstrudel was very good. The beer is good (on the light side) and service is friendly

Good food in a suitable setting! Absolutely perfect value for money. Despite their stressful jobs, the servers are very friendly. The plates are attractively decorated, and the portions are large enough for even the most hungry guests. The kitchen does a great job; despite the never-ending stream of guests, the quality of the food remains high, and the food arrives piping hot (assuming you've ordered something hot 😁). The noise level is high, but that's perfectly normal with so many happy, chatty guests.

We were there with a group of 23 people on a Wednesday evening. Although it was full and therefore very noisy, we were served friendly and didn't have to wait long for our food. Everyone was more or less satisfied with the taste. The mashed potatoes were quite poor when eaten plain but still recommended overall. Portions and prices were reasonable.

West German cuisine also tastes very tasty!

Traditional, good middle class. Food was super good.

Friendly atmosphere, didn't eat so no judgement

Was there for carnival, great atmosphere, €15 in ,, 25 lads drinking like fish , they were very nice , but I felt they took advantage, a bottle of water was €12:50 ,,, then €15 ,,, just because ‘That’s the price NOW “ ,,,, so Peter , won’t be back again

Everything was right here! The service staff were super funny and despite their stressful work, they always kept an eye on our table. I would recommend a reservation, we missed it and were lucky to get a table for 6. Only had to wait 5 minutes. We were all really happy with our food, among other things we had the Brauhauspfanne, Himmel und Äd and the pork knuckle. Everything delicious! In hindsight I have to say that we really liked it best in Cologne here at the Peters Brauhaus. And we tried pretty much all the breweries... we'd love to come back!

I really want to rate the food 4.8 out of 5, but other than that, this place is German perfection according to my American stomach, eyes, and patience level. The server answered all of our questions without getting impatient. My better half ordered the breaded fish, which ranks in the top 3 I've ever tried. I had the sausage with cabbage and bacon potatoes. The sausage was a bit dry for my taste, but that's probably a me thing. The rest of my dish was fantastic, and the servers continued to refill our drinks without us asking until we gave the signal to stop. That kind of service doesn't exist in the United States or the country we currently call home. If you want fantastic authentic German food and beer, come to Peter's Brauhaus but get there before they open, or you might be in line for quite a while.

We had reserved a table for 10 people the day before and then reserved 2 more seats, which wasn't a problem, but then it gets cozy, that's what we said on the phone. Unfortunately, when we got there it wasn't that tight to sit there. When the waiter asked, the three of us were kindly seated at a table where there was a sign, free until 5:45 p.m. Then the waiter came and said we had to leave, it was busy and that wouldn't work. So we left the brewery and went somewhere else, apparently you don't have to rely on the money. The rest of our group wasn't particularly keen on the price/performance ratio either, the food wasn't great... In general, I find Cologne very expensive when it comes to gastronomy.

Beer was unfortunately very slow, but the height was that we were told "that it was appropriate for our children (note 3 and 5 years) to sit at the table". Very unfriendly and we won't go here anymore. If you can't do "Brauhaus", then don't do it!

Delicious beer, food and cool kebese

Cool old-school atmosphere, short waiting time for dishes, great service and delicious food! The prices are a bit too high in my opinion, but I highly recommend them!

We were here on Carnival Sunday Great atmosphere -> party with entry 11:30 p.m. then end

Classic german beer house and food. The food was good and the apple strudel was also successful. Our waiter was from Bosnia and Herzegovina and was very good with his energetic, friendly and fast service.

The knuckle and everything else we ordered was very good.

Actually ZERO stars because we were arrogantly turned away from the entrance three times, even though there were plenty of free seats. I know Rhenish hospitality differently.

This place is a must in the city of Cologne (Köln). Your trip wasn’t complete until you tried the Koelsch bier, (made here). As plates, I highly recommend these two: Hummel un Äd and the Kassler mit Weinsauerkraut.

The food was mixed, but the service was terribly bad.
