Postwagen Aachen in Aachen

You arrive from the big city in the Middle Ages. This beautiful, quaint restaurant overlooking the market square offers first-class service and excellent food. In addition, a Pinot Gris from South Limburg is offered. We ate here yesterday and really enjoyed our stay.

We were there with a large company group starting at 7:00 p.m. At the request of the catering staff, we had to submit our meal requests from a limited menu a few days in advance. Despite pre-ordering, the food didn't arrive until around 9:15 p.m., and dessert at 9:50 p.m. Furthermore, two dishes were forgotten and never arrived. The food was tasty, and the service was friendly. However, waiting that long for a pre-ordered meal is unacceptable.

Very nice pub with the best cellar ever!! The shop is spread over three floors, has a doctor's room and is completely winding. You have the feeling of being on an old sailing ship. The waitress gives the impression that there is nothing better than being a waiter and is happy to give you one too! The ambience is great, as are the guests... I haven't enjoyed spending my money in a pub for a long time, the toilets are awesome and the drinks are delicious. There is also upscale cuisine from the Ratskeller. I can recommend the chocolate souflee. I come back here as often as I can!

Unfortunately our visit to this restaurant was a disappointment. The service was poor, the staff unfriendly and visibly in a bad mood. Just waiting for the menu took 15 minutes, and the drinks took another 30 minutes to arrive. Overall, not a pleasant experience - we won't eat here again.

One of the quaint pubs in Aachen! An incredibly great atmosphere and many different rooms to spend time in. Unfortunately it took a relatively long time until we were served, but then the service was very friendly and accommodating. The selection of drinks and food leaves nothing to be desired. There are also some local foods and drinks that are highly recommended.

We absolutely loved this place! The interior ambiance is warm and inviting, creating a wonderful dining experience. This was my second visit, and every time, the waitstaff has been friendly and attentive. This time, we only tried the appetizers, which were delicious, and we’re already looking forward to coming back to explore the main dishes!

Very very good service and meal, definitely recommend

We chose the mail van for a business lunch. Organizationally everything worked well, I had to adjust the reservation several times, and that worked out great. On the evening of our visit, however, we were offered the option of sitting in the Ratskeller, probably because it would be more comfortable for us. However, due to the atmosphere, we wanted to sit in the mail van and were a bit confused by the request. It may have been a challenge for the service, but the service was great and everything worked well. Food and drinks as we expected. All guests chose the schnitzel or the sauerbraten, so there was nothing to complain about. The dessert, apple strudel, was also ok. However, the toilets are a challenge because they are very small, but of course this is due to the conditions of the building. That's just how it is. All in all, a nice visit, the only negative point was the attempted transfer to the Ratskeller, understandable but not an option for us. But we were able to sort that out and then everything worked.

On Saturday my husband and I were in my old home of Aachen for the first time in at least 5 years. After a stroll through the city, we decided to take the mail van that we knew from the past. We both ordered sauerbraten, which was served after a short time. We liked it, but the portions seemed quite small; 2 small pieces of roast, 1 small dumpling, but quite a lot of red cabbage in comparison. After we had finished eating and had been cleared away, the table next to us got their food. Including sauerbraten. In comparison to our portions, the suspicion arose that we may have received the last portion of roast and dumplings and that it was divided between two plates. Since I didn't want to raise this assumption in front of the other guests, I went down to the counter and spoke to the waitress in a friendly manner. She promised to clarify it with the kitchen. After about 10 minutes, without comment, she placed two small plates, each with a dry potato dumpling, on the table. There's probably no need to write more about it...

Very large portions and very tasty! Schnitzel is incomparable

The lady behind the counter is very attentive. You don't stay "on dry land" for long. However, I think the switch from Bitburger to Krombacher in a rustic, traditional pub in Öcher is a strategic mistake. The prices quoted for Bavarian Helle etc. are at the upper limit for a normal pub. You can also go straight to a shop with international specialty beers. By the way, I'm only talking about the front pub, not the back vaulted cellar with restaurants.

There is no service, no crockery by the way. Walked away without paying for the first time in my life, and why? We waited 45 minutes for the first drink, 2 minutes later the second round of drinks came, then waited more than an hour and a half for the dish. After asking 3 times, the schnitzels that we had already ordered upon arrival finally arrived. Only no cutlery yet, after asking the staff twice we still didn't get any cutlery. In the end I ate with my bare hands. After dinner we waited another hour for the staff and the bill never came. We did our best to make something of it. In the end I just left. Schnitzel, although cold, was tasty. Reply to owner: December 20, 2024, although it was busy in the city, about half of the tables in the restaurant were EMPTY! The bar downstairs was full.

Delicious food, top service (especially the waitress at the counter was super attentive, quick and friendly). The atmosphere is very nice and invites you to linger 😊

I asked if they have a menu for children, waiter says yes fish sticks with french fries, I ordered it and then they come with spinach instead of french fries, I complain as my kids do not eat this, waiter says oh sorry I made a mistake we only have it with spinach, the beilage salad for 6 persons they forgot and had to ask for it and when it came it had sand in it..do not recommend at all!

We were there as part of a Christmas party. The meal had been agreed upon in advance by the management. So there shouldn't be any delays, they thought. We were supposed to be there at 5:30 p.m. The meal didn't start until 7:30 p.m. The rounds of drinks that ran until then were Coordinated poorly or not at all. The staff was completely overwhelmed by the crowd of people in the restaurant. Sometimes people were forgotten and not asked. Or the wrong drink was delivered. This lasted the whole evening. The food was in Orderly and tasty. The building is old, and having so many people in the rooms makes little sense. The managers should get the staff on their toes, then things will work even in difficult situations. Maybe there is someone here who takes honest criticism to heart.

If you are in a hurry, don't go here, the beer is delicious but takes half an hour. When asking what was said, it only took a moment, but it didn't last a moment. Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!

Service (the young lady) was nice and the location was great. Very comfortable inside too. Unfortunately the food was below average. Unfortunately disappointing when it comes to the kitchen. We ordered schnitzel and leg of cheese. Schnitzel was wayllllll too hard, you couldn't bite it (it was in the deep fryer for so long) Goose leg was not at all crispy as it said on the menu. I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here.

Very nice atmosphere, unfortunately none of the four service staff did their job reasonably well. First we were overlooked, then our food was forgotten. Most of the time we met at the checkout to discuss things. Too bad.

Great atmosphere and traditional German restaurant. Very good prices (cheaper than Greece) worth visiting if you come to Aachen. Well done for all services.

Una buena elección de comida en el edificio de estructura de madera más antiguo y único en Aquisgrán, ya que estaba prohibido construir estructuras de madera después de un terrible incendio de 1656. La comida es sabrosa, buenas porciones, servicio profesional y ambiente único!

We have been here twice today (30 nov). Druring the afternoon sevice ok. Around 10pm, the service was really sad. The woman behind the bar took our order twice, yet no incentive to do anything, we left after 15 minutes

Beautiful surroundings, very tasty food, especially vegetarian and perfect and friendly service. We were there on a choir outing and everyone was very satisfied.

Atmospheric and located directly “at” the town hall. Classic beer glut with good regional cuisine. Had the “Himmel und Äd” (blood sausage with caramelized apple slices, mashed potatoes, with a delicious sauce. Plus lots of beer. Everything was delicious. Attention: the toilets are extremely small and narrow, not just for tall people. Not barrier-free (stairs and steps everywhere)

Wonderful place, good meals, great service. Thanks to all the team, and especially Maja ;-)

While passing through Aachen we came across this small authentic restaurant with traditional cuisine I think, for my part it was a schnitzel with a good beer and for my wife a goulash. Both dishes were excellent and the atmosphere of the restaurant takes us back to the past, it was a great experience, I will come back. The waitress was very professional and spoke a little French, making communication easier.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. I ordered a potato soup (which is more of a cream), a Kölsch (Pils-type light beer) and a Himmel und Äal (German black pudding with grilled caramelized apple and mashed potatoes).

Das Restaurant ist urig und wirklich interessant, leider ist der Service aber nicht so toll. Gäste die fast 20 Minuten nach uns kamen wurden bei der Aufnahme der Speisenbestellung vorgezogen und unsere Nachfrage deswegen wurde mit einer unschönen Bemerkung des Personals abgetan. Die Speisen waren lecker, aber leider wurden sie zum Teil nicht so geliefert wie bestellt und die Beilagensalate kamen erst nachdem wir an der Theke danach gefragt haben. Wir wollten nach dem Essen die Rechnungen Familienweise bezahlen, da wir sehr unterschiedlich große Beträge hatten die wir nicht anschließend selbst ausrechnen wollten. Dies war letztendlich nur an der Theke möglich. Die Bedienung am Tisch war nicht imstande diese Rechnung aufzusplittern.

Quaint pub with delicious food and attentive service.

Gran lugar para probar la comida tradicional alemana. El edificio tiene siglos de antigüedad, estructura de madera, mucho carácter. Tamaño mediano. Bar en planta baja, luego habitaciones para comer y beber en tres plantas. Comida de primera calidad, platos alemanes. Cerveza Krombacher. Personal amable y servicial. Realmente disfruté de una noche aquí.

Very good schnitzel, served with a delicious sauce and salad

Nice vibes and food was delicious.

The beer is good!!!! The bar is located in the Aachen Cathedral.

Ein super uriges Restaurant, wie aus dem Mittelalter. Das Ambiente ist so toll, dass man gar nicht mehr gehen möchte. Das Essen war sehr lecker, das Bier ebenso. Die Bedienungen waren fix und waren immer zum richtigen Zeitpunkt zum Nachfragen da. Ganz toll!

A quaint inn with delicious food and refreshing drinks.

One of the best schnitzels I've ever had

Regional cuisine - a few dishes have been put together with finesse for the menu. Delicious food in a historical atmosphere. Ideally suited when you are touring around. And despite the limited staffing levels, the service was extremely friendly and relaxed.

The service was great but unfortunately the food wasn't that great. The schnitzel had been in the deep fryer for too long, so the breading became very dark and the meat was very dry. The fries served with it tasted like old frying fat: It's a shame :(

Lovely typical German restaurant, a bit of a strange interior.

It has been on our bucket list yet never found a spot. Nice, cosy and historic place with decent selection of dishes. You may consider drinking drecksack 😊

Food was great, but the waitress who dealt with our table was very dry with us. Would recommend for the beauty of the restaurant, although the place is quite small and the toilets too.

Magnificent building, but the waitress was very unfriendly and although there was space elsewhere she put us in a dark corner... Not nice

Booked a table and had a delicious evening meal here as a couple. Great historical building. Staff were great, food and atmosphere was also fantastic. Would visit again for sure.

For the first time in Aachen and in the maze of many restaurants in the city center, we decided to use the postal van. The ambience of the rustic pub alone doesn't make you regret such a decision, a place steeped in history that you can feel there. Added to the feel-good factor of the quaintness was an extremely friendly waitress, the staff is adapted to the location, down-to-earth and very pleasant. Diverse but clear food and drink menu, fast service and normal prices. The quality of the food was okay, although rustic like the restaurant, but still neat and good. We had Aachener Sauerbraten and stagecoach schnitzel. All in all...a recommendation, if only because you are warmly welcomed.

I was here for a quick snack around noon on a weekday. The food and the location invoke a very nice rustic and classic atmosphere. The server was very attentive and nice and my food arrived very quickly. The food itself was very tasty and the portion size was good to be filled without overeating.

Il locale é molto bello , uno dei piú belli di acquisgrana in una posizione fantastica. Quando siamo stati noi nel locale c´era pochissima gente , il servizio era ok e ció che abbiamo mangiato era buono,anche i prezzi erano nella media .Consigliato.

We were there just to drink, tried local beers and really enjoyed it. We sat downstairs and met really nice people there. Since it is small, we shared the table, exchanged stories and had a good time. The location is great and it's definitely worth going there and exploring the place.

Cerveza en un local centenario justo en los bajos del ayuntamiento. Local de madera y con mucha historia. Recomendable

Nice ambience, service nice, Printen schnapps delicious, food ok, councilor toast tastes better without toast 😉

I haven't been to Aachen to eat in more than 30 years. As a former resident of Aachen, the traditional restaurant “Postwagen” was of course a must. I was very surprised at how well maintained the ambience was. The food was first class, the service was very friendly and the prices were absolutely fair. The guests already present were also appropriate for the standard of the house. All in all a successful evening. I would love to go there again with my family.

Very good service Thank you for supporting us Once again sorry for the noise 😁

The beer is very good they had the courage to support us

Excellent food with light beer on tap. Super nice service staff. We'd love to come back

We went there for drinks only, we had some local beers and we loved it . We sat downstairs and met really nice people there. Since it is small we shared the table, shared stories and a good time. It has a great location and its definitely recommended to go there and see the place

Nach 20 Minuten keine Bedienung. Die Kartoffelsuppe für 12 Euro spricht für sich . Leider habe ich noch einen 100 Euro Gutschein denn ich wohl günstig abgeben werden.

Was könnte das schön sein hier! Aber: die Einrichtung ziemlich zerschrammt, die Herrentoilette winzig, der Wasserhahn dort kaputt. (Angeblich schon seit langem gemeldet, aber nix passiert). Speisekarte deftig, aber im Vergleich zu anderen Möglichkeiten ähnlicher Art sehr reduziert. Auf's Essen dann 45 Minuten gewartet, obwohl Lokal fast leer war. Der einzige Lichtblick: die sehr nette, junge Bedienung. Überlegen Sie gut, ob das was für Sie ist: trotz des anziehenden Ambientes.....

Nice ambience. Unfortunately the food was below average. Unfortunately disappointing when it comes to the kitchen.

Nice historical tavern. Short menu (no fish).

Rustic, cozy pub. I can't comment on what the food is like since we drank there. The service was attentive and helpful.

Eggnog lukewarm, only half full, service underground. A shame for the Aachen Christmas market.

Urige Atmosphäre, nur das Essen eine Katastrophe. Der Aachener Sauerbraten war eine Kombination von Convenience-Produkten, wobei der Kartoffkloss nicht gar war, der Rotkohl unangenehm süß und zerkocht war sowie die zwei Scheiben Sauerbraten ohne jeglichen Geschmack und bereits trocken waren. Zulange vorkocht, das arme Rind ist eines zweiten Todes gestorben. Leider ging es den anderen Mitessern nicht besser. Das Schweineschnitzel war zuerst innen roh, das nächste in der Friteuse dann trocken gebraten. Für den Preis eine Frechheit. Nie wieder!

Tolles Ambiente und sehr nette Bedienung.

Wie immer tolle Atmosphäre, gutes Essen und nette Leute! Aber das gepflegte Bitburger gibt's nicht mehr! Da müssen wir uns wohl woanders treffen. Schade Schade

Sehr zuvorkommender Service, auf Nachfrage werden auch vegane Gerichte zubereitet

Aachen'ın merkezinde harika atmosferli gerçekten iyi biraları olan mekan. Özellikle turistseniz bu klasil alman barına gelmenizi tavsiye ederim. Kendinizi zaman makinesiyle çok eskilere gitmiş gibi hissediyorunuz. Her şey için teşekürler. Bizz çok sevdik.

Wonderful interior and good food but a very limited menu

Immmer wenn ich nach Aachen komme, wird dem Postwagen ein Besuch abgestattet. Kleine Karte, aber schmackhafte Gerichte. Es ist schon eine Instiution.

Fajny klimat , duży wybór piw .super!

Beautiful spot, food was lovely.

Ein schönes Gasthaus im historischen Ambiente, jedoch vollkommen unzeitgemäß ohne vegetarische Gerichte, außer dem Salat. Wo sind die vegetarischen Schnitzel, Kartoffelpuffer und Co?

Zo zie je ze nog maar weinig. Een oud kroegje met goed personeel en goede sfeer. Lekker muziekje en een uitstekend Aachener bier

Danke an Jan , sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Круті інтер'єр, музика, тоді грав Айрон Мейден, розташування, але мало персоналу, тому приходиться навіть пиво довго чекати

Schöne alte Kneipe/Restaurant mit Wohlfühlcharakter

Wir sind an einem Tag sogar zweimal dort eingekehrt, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat. Nette Bedienung, gute Musik und man sitzt dort wie in vergangenen Zeiten. Wirklich ein ganz besonderer Ort.

Tolles altes Gebäude. Leckeres Essen, wir hatten Hungerturm und Sauerbraten mit allerleckerster Lebkuchensauce. Angestellte sehr nett, hatten sogar Zeit über Tattoos zu reden. Echt schön hier

Super schöne Lokalität. Essen war super lecker. Leider war bei meiner Frau das Schnitzel an einer Stelle roh, dazu muss ich aber sagen das beim Braten das Schnitzel an der Stelle zusammen geklappt war und es deswegen es nicht ganz durchbraten konnte. Das kann natürlich passieren und ist ja auch nicht so schlimm. Der Kellner brachte uns sofort ein neues. Das nenne ich Service. Wir werden trotzdem sehr gerne wieder kommen. Vielen Dank und bis nächstes mal.

Beatiful location and friendly staff. Food was also pretty good.

Der Postwagen in Aachen wurde um 1659 gebaut und war damals eine Gaststätte gleich am Aachener Rathauses. Das rechte Holzhaus war zwischen 1860 und 1910 als Haus „Zum Eulenspiegel“ bekannt, wurde jedoch nach der Umnutzung beider Häuser als Gaststätte in „Postwagen“ umbenannt. Nach den Zerstörungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde wieder alles originalgetreu rekonstruiert und später unter Denkmalschutz gestellt und ist jetzt ein Restaurant und Bar zugleich. Drinnen fühlt man sich wie in einer Zeitreise. Grosse Auswahl an Bieren, unbedingt probieren.

Waren gerade vor Ort....Sehr empfehlenswert....

Der Klassiker unter den gastronomischen Betrieben in Aachen. Irgendwann beherbergte das Haus mal einen Buchladen. Heute werden hier schmackhafte Gerichte serviert. Das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Ein Besuch im Restaurant Postwagen lohnt sich.

Das Maschinenbrauerbier schmeckt toll.

Tolles Ehrwürdiges Ambiente, leckeres Essen, freundliche Mitarbeiter. Ein Abend mit der Familie zum Genießen.

Vi åt inte utan satt bara utanför och drack god öl, innan de stängde. Trevlig servering!

Urige und sympathische Lokalität. Tolles Essen zum vernünftigen Preis.

Wir waren samstags bei schönstem Wetter kurz nach der Öffnung hier und haben draußen locker einen Platz bekommen. Aber schon eine halbe Stunde später waren aber immer wieder alle Tische belegt. Drinnen waren viele Plätze zu bekommen. Der Kellner kam sehr zügig, war sehr freundlich und konnte auch auf englisch fließend Bestellungen aufnehmen und Unterhaltungen führen. Als Besonderheit werden Bierspezialitäten einer Alsdorfer Brauerei geführt, Tee vom gegenüberliegenden Teeladen im Siebchen angeboten, es gibt einen hauseigenen Gin, aber auch viele weitere alkoholische und nicht alkoholische Getränke stehen auf der liebevoll gemachten Karte. Wir hatten Kölsch und Weizenbier vom Fass, diese waren sehr gepflegt, gut temperiert und man konnte zwischen zwei Größen wählen, sodass man z.B. beim Weizen eine angenehme 0,3l Größe nehmen konnte. Im Verlauf des Nachmittag gönnten wir uns den "Hungerturm für 2 Personen". Es sind liebevoll zusammengestellte Kleinigkeiten mit sehr leckeren Dips und alleine fürs Auge ist der Turm schon ein kleines Erlebnis. Des Weiteren hatten wir die Forellenrillettes auf Bauernbrot, auch hier blieb kein Wunsch offen; es war frisch, schmackhaft und auch hier aß das Auge mit. Im Verlauf des Tages fing es an zu regnen und alle Gäste flüchteten nach drinnen, so dass es dort schnell voll wurde. Der Kellner hatte kein Problem mit den gewechselten Tischen und hat ebenso zügig weiter bedient wie vorher draußen. Wie auf den Fotos zu sehen, ist es ein wunderschönes altes Stadthaus, draußen sitzt man in der Nähe vom Rathaus und Markt im alten Aachener Flair und drinnen hat man den vollen Genuss des Altertümchens. Was natürlich auch ein Nachteil für gehbehinderte Mitmenschen hat: Das Häuschen besteht aus sehr vielen kleinen Etagen mit schiefen Treppen, die Toiletten sind zwar sauber und zweckmäßig, aber extrem eng. Die stimmige Rechnung haben wir mit EC-Karte bezahlt, ein Bankautomat wäre aber in unmittelbarer Nähe gewesen. Wer abends hier Essen kommen möchte, könnte wahrscheinlich Schwierigkeiten bekommen, einen Tisch zu ergattern, deshalb sollte man vielleicht vorher reservieren. Wir haben nicht auf vegetarische Gerichte geachtet, aber in der Speisekarte wird vermerkt, dass es immer Lösungen für Wünsche gibt.

Ein Hungerturm im vermutlich ältesten Restaurant Aachens. Zur Erklärung, der Hungerturm ist die ideale Begleitung zum Bier, von der kleinen Kartoffelsuppe bis zu frittierten Zwiebelringen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert. Wie übrigens auch der Rest der kleinen, aber sehr feinen Speisekarte. Dazu Kölsch, Pilz oder Weizen vom Fass, aber auch lokale Biere. Und ein tolles Ambiente. Die Toiletten sind nicht ganz einfach zu betreten, aber sehr sehenswert. 😄 Hier kann man auch einen verregneten Nachmittag problemlos verbringen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Hübscher Ausblick auf den Marktplatz, mega leckeres Essen, nettes Personal. Hat einen schönen älteren Anblick was sehr sehr schön ist. 😊

Beautiful vintage atmosphere. Great service. Very limited option for vegetarians and gluten free. These options didn't even taste well.

Wir waren unten an der Theke. Tolle Musik, sehr schöne Atmosphäre und nette Bedienung. Habe zuvor auch schon dort gegessen. Man kann urig sitzen und dS Essen ist ebenfalls klasse. Nur zu empfehlen

Bellissima location caratteristica del posto sita in centro storico e scelta proprio per la nomea…fino a quando… Ci siamo sedute per degustare i piatti tipici ma niente di tutto ciò, igiene scarso, la birra buona ma… il vino lasciava desiderare, decisamente scarso. La vera e disgustosa caratteristica del posto è stata la presenza di un topolino che ci ha fatto saltare letteralmente sulle panche. Ci siamo spostate ma di certo la nostra serata culinuaria è stata disturbata e ha proseguito con il magone della ricomparsa😂😂😂!! Non consigliato!!!

The schnitzel was not good, tasted like something from freezer section of Lidl cooked in the deep fryer, it really was not a schnitzel at all, the mash potato, onions and salad were nice. The venue is quaint and the waitress was lovely. I think this place is for tourists who don’t know good German food, such a shame because has a lot of potential

Außergewöhnliches Restaurant mit Kellergewölbe und vorzüglichen Speisen.

I fell in love with this place. Ate there twice in a week. Their "Himmel und ääd" (black pudding, caramalised apple & mash) defies description, as do their trout rillettes. Add their draught Bitburger beer & a cosy, friendly atmsophere, and this place is a stunner. All at a very reasonable price too.

Eines der besten Schnitzel die ich gegessen habe. Sehr schönes Ambiente

Meat quality and quantity was far below what you can expect for a 24euros plate, specially compared to what you can get around. Restaurant was quite empty probably for a reason. Place looks typical and in the center of the city. To be seen for a drink only.

Guter Service, nettes Personal, gute Preise. Die Portionen hätten ein bisschen größer sein können, aber ein rundum gutes Erlebnis. Gerne wieder. :)

Urige Kneipe mit leckerem Essen. Der Service könnte etwas flotter sein, aber an unserem Abend war es auch sehr voll. Nett ist er auf alle Fälle.

Аутентичное место в сердце Аахена. Очень вкусно. Атмосфера средневековья. Мест немного, потому лучше заранее планировать свой поход сюда.

Immer wenn Benjy da ist is der Laden voll und die Musik on fire. Der Service ist klasse und das Bier kommt schnell und kalt. Eine Empfehlung für jeden!

Benjy hat den Laden mal wieder im Griff! Schnelle und freundliche Bedienung, gute Musik - wir kommen gerne wieder!
