Stadtwaldhaus in Krefeld

We were there for a crime dinner, the choice of food was very limited for the vegan/vegetarian people in our group, even though we communicated this directly when booking. When they asked to leave out the meat, they just said it wasn't possible - the plates were already ready. Unfortunately it was very inflexible and there was no vegan dessert available. The food that came was delicious but the vegan main course was unfortunately very spicy. It was a mixed evening, the entrance was not signposted, dried flowers on the table, very loud so it was hard to hear the person right next to you, drafts and dirty toilets. Yes, it is currently under renovation but based on this experience I will not visit it again no matter what the occasion.

I recommend it, nice atmosphere, good access

Company Christmas party, very bad acoustics in the hall, staff tough with very specific announcements.

Excellent goose, good service, nothing to complain about

The food was okay, but the sauces were reminiscent of packet sauces. The whole thing was done very carelessly. The service was variable, a young man and the young women were very nice, but the older waiter was quite unfriendly. We sat at an event in the larger hall, which was rather uncomfortable and had little to no heating and was therefore very cold, which is an imposition if you have to sit there for over three hours. It may not be a beer garden outside in the summer, but I didn't like it inside.

We were at the crime dinner on November 10, 2024. The service was great, the employees were very helpful since we had a person in a wheelchair with us. The food was of poor quality. Unfortunately, the crime dinner didn't get any better from the actors. Far too long-winded, so that some guests were about to fall asleep. Not recommended.

We were able to celebrate our wedding here. Top ambience, top service and the food a 10 out of 10. Mr. Lang gave us very good advice in advance and accompanied us through many processes. On the wedding day itself we were extremely well looked after by the service headed by Ms. Hoffmann. The wedding was much better than we had previously imagined. As a bride and groom, we really felt like kings and queens. I have rarely encountered such excellent service and an almost friendly closeness to those responsible. The kitchen has delivered one masterpiece after another and we are still hearing great things from friends and family more than a week later. Stadtwaldhaus you are unique, stay that way and stay with us, we always enjoy coming to this house knowing that we won't miss anything. I recommend that every wedding couple have a personal conversation here, as we were also very positively surprised in terms of price.

Delicious pretzel. Currywurst was so-so

Normal beer garden atmosphere. Service was ok

Belgian waffle? Not self-made. 38 cents ready for purchase Not recommended for 8 euros

Good location, had a great party, service was very good.

As the stars reveal, White sausages almost cold, grillage cake not good, way too sweet and I doubt whether the cream is actually real cream. Toilets are really an imposition. BUT the young people who clear tables, sell food etc. are very accommodating.

Great atmosphere, very friendly service

The location is beautiful, the service is great, the menu is boring. In a beer garden I expect a corresponding menu with, for example, snack plates, cheese and other little things. Who wants a mediocre currywurst for around €10.80? The toilets are an imposition.

Käsespätzle was actually Schupfnudeln. But completely salty. Too bad

Food is okay, service good, location a highlight of the city.

The beer garden is always nice.

A nice place to take a drink and eat some snacks after activities in the park. The service people are friendly and high efficiency! Drinks are on the table in several minutes after ordering. The foods are also good👍

Super nice location, friendly staff, good food, highly recommended 😋

Went to my buddy's wedding yesterday. .I was very impressed...atmosphere, ambience, service, location, everything was great Special thanks to FRANZI...service employee of the extra class

Beautifully located large beer garden with a self-service area and one with service and menu. In the beer garden you can find beer, soft drinks, small snacks and popsicles. There is a small playground for the little ones, but the newly built playground in the city forest is not far away and has become very nice. You can also go boating in summer. The park is a beautiful English landscape park and is great for a stroll in hot weather. The beer garden with city forest is highly recommended for a short excursion!

Great beer garden with a large park.. I can only recommend.. 👍

The best beer garden in the area, good quick service. Everything was great as always!!!

It's a shame that this brilliant evening event with the top DJ's didn't take place more often 😭

First visit and very disappointing. Staff gets drunk and ignores guests who want to order something. There were 4 of us there and we tapped the waiters on the shoulder and were ignored. Worst visit ever, we won't be back.

A beer garden in the forest and a great building as a restaurant. The beer garden consists of self-service operations and an area where service is provided. A great concept for every budget or depending on your thirst and appetite. In my opinion one of the most beautiful beer gardens in North Rhine-Westphalia, if not Germany. I found it really great. Highly recommended.

It's really nice there. Great food, very friendly staff. Overall nice stay

Great beer garden with service area and self-service section - very good food - service always friendly and quick

5 stars for the ambience goes without saying. Very friendly service. Plum cake and grilled ash are rather mediocre.

Cool atmoshpere and good food. Amazing greenery around!

Sitting in the park, having a drink when the weather is nice and listening to good live music, it couldn't be better. I didn't try any food, but the drinks served worked well👍

Hello everyone 👋. The location of the beer garden is great 👌👍. Very nice service, ok atmosphere 👍. However, when it comes to dessert, I am disappointed 😏. Coffee tasteless, dessert mediocre in relation to the price ☹️. The park itself is great 👍👏, worth visiting. Greetings to everyone and I recommend it.

Very nice atmosphere and big „Biergarten“ - beer garden - with nice choice of food and drinks. All the food was good and prices seemed more or less reasonable! Staff was also friendly!

We were with you yesterday. Thank you for a lovely evening with great live music. I was really impressed with how well everything was organized. Also, big compliments to the entire team. Service was great. Only to recommend.

Great beer garden, sometimes even with live music.

Few waiters. Everything else is fine.

Nice place with very nice, courteous staff. However, already in the upper price range.

Everything was great, service, cake, location. Fits!!!!

Rustic ambience a mix of tradition and modernity, if you don't like a beer garden, you certainly have the opportunity to buy a cold drink there and make yourself comfortable by the lake in the city park....

Service was super quick and friendly. And it was delicious too

Everything fine. Nice large beer garden with a beautiful park and lake.

Absolutely idyllic location, view of the lake and pavilion, children's playground, a great atmosphere inside, super nice and very attentive service and very tasty food. We were here for a small wedding celebration. Uncomplicated for special requests and arrangements. Highly Recommended!

We celebrated our civil wedding here. Very pleasant from planning to event! Everything was as discussed for us, the service employees were all very attentive, customer-oriented and implemented even short-term changes immediately. Great service, great food - thank you! Compliments to Ms. Hoffmann, who supervised our event with her team - that's how gastronomy is fun!

Best beer garden! Great service and great food! I like to come here often :)

THE classic beer garden in Krefeld and the surrounding area!

Indeed one of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany! Everything is just right here!

As always. Great service. Delicious food. Beautiful in nature

Very nicely located, right on the lake.

Nice location with occasional live music. You can sit outside with a view of a small lake. Great for relaxing after work.

Quick, simple food that's completely sufficient for when you're hungry, and the prices are affordable for everyone.

For a great day with children, pedal boating, etc.

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany.

Simply a beautiful beer garden. Food is good and prices OK.

It's worth a visit here. Good prices, great offerings and the ambience are highly recommended. Any time.

Totally overcrowded A bit high for Germany's most beautiful beer garden

The service was simply great. Very friendly, attentive young people. They do a good job and what they have to carry and walk is really great.

Always good and tried and tested, nice place to stay.

We had our graduation party here and sat outside when a waiter came? Manager? In any case, an employee came and shouted at us that "the evening is over for us and we have no business being outside". The other employees at the buffet and bar were absolutely nice, only this one gentleman completely ruined our evening. This could definitely have been solved without a conflict by simply pointing out the error in a nice way, instead of immediately becoming aggressive and yelling at us. In my opinion, this approach and attitude is not possible at all, especially because you have paid a lot to celebrate here and a high school graduation celebration only takes place once in a lifetime. Since we never really got an apology, I can only recommend other high school graduates to celebrate somewhere else.

A beautiful beer garden with simple and delicious gastronomy. Price/performance ratio and friendly service.

Delicious, nice service. Vegetarian and vegan options available.

Very nice beer garden with delicious food at decent prices. Everyone can find something on the menu and yet it's so compact that everything is fresh. The service in the serving area sometimes takes a moment, but everything comes to the table quickly.

By far the most beautiful location in Krefeld when the weather is nice

We celebrated a graduation party in the Stadtwaldhaus. The staff was very friendly and the food was satisfactory. Over time it became very warm with 300-400 people, so some visitors and guests decided to change their long trousers into shorts. The owner (Mr. Lang) then decided to reprimand everyone in the room who, in his opinion, “were not dressed appropriately for the occasion”. Not only was that in itself a bottomless impudence in my opinion, but there was also the tone in which the gentleman spoke to us. When I answered for my partner, “yes, we can,” he just looked at me and said, “I’m talking to you.” not". Not only is this an impossible colloquialism, but it is also incredibly hard to deal with at an actually happy celebration. The affected people (all male) were not allowed to change inside and were instead asked to do so in the toilets outside. I wouldn't recommend any school to go here, although the service and ceremonies are great, there is hardly any possibility of finding a reasonable solution to problems such as moved files. After some time and discussion, 3 people who were mistakenly not on the list were allowed in, but with the words "no one will come in here after that, I don't care whether you get the original list or not".

A nice bike ride and at the end a beer in the most beautiful beer garden in Germany🥰

Unbeatably comfortable in summer, even for families with small children who can run around freely

Wonderful Place in the middle of a wood. In front there's a really beautiful lake with boats renting. Really good dishes, a lot of tables, quick service, nice attendants and really good typical dishes

There isn't a nicer beer garden anywhere. Sitting in the evening in the setting sun, drinking a beer and eating a delicious bite to eat cannot be beat in Krefeld. We were there with the children now. They were able to spend time on the playground and we had a nice meal and a drink with our friends. Thank you for the wonderful summer evening. Thank you Mr. L. for not being discouraged.

Lovely beer garden. We were lucky with the weather, so the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The food was of a good standard for a beer garden. Service quick, to the point. Portions are very generous!!! Family friendly, dog friendly. Great way to spend afternoon!

The most beautiful beer garden in Krefeld!

Great atmosphere and very nice house with a beautiful location! :) Friendly service!

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany! Great surroundings and nice atmosphere

Haben heute an der Brezelbude Weißwurst gehabt. Die ersten waren braun angetrocknet. Widerwillig habe ich ein Paar neue bekommen. Bei diesen ließ sich die Pelle nicht abziehen. Der Geschmack war nicht vorhanden. Ungenießbar. Und dafür wollten die 6,50€ haben. Nie wieder.

The rustic beer garden in nature

It's simply impossible to imagine Krefeld without it. Contact point and end point of many, many bike tours. Thanks to the always friendly staff, "on behalf of Mr. L." on the way. The beer garden is great! The food and drinks were good.

I have not eaten anything. Just a wheat from the bottle. Self-service and deposit for the glass. 5.50 euros. Too expensive for self-service. A bottle of beer for 5.50!!! Despite inflation, that is too much. It was Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Great weather, hardly anything going on. Also the food, too expensive. For self-service. What it costs in the service department. No idea. There are places in Germany where it is cheaper. Even in big cities. Franconia, for example.

Very good food, the asparagus was also excellent!

You can only get a seat in the service area if you also order food. In the self-service area (beer benches) you have to pay at a cash register before collection. You then have to use vouchers to pay for various expenses for cold drinks, warm drinks and food. For example, there is no espresso or cappuccino. Last but not least, I ate the worst Obatzda here for €8.50. The other dishes were also anything but good. Mr. L's shop is very far from what is supposed to be the best beer garden🙈

Largest beer garden outside of Bavaria.

Everything was great - nice beer garden

What can I say other than: The most beautiful beer garden far and wide! I've also been to wedding parties (including my own), members' meetings and a graduation ball. Always a celebration that is optimally tailored to the event.

Every year for Father's Day and for the past 10 years we go there by bike and enjoy the facility.

I find the place very nice, friendly service.

We were in the beer garden on a public holiday. Despite what felt like 100 percent capacity, everything was excellently organized. We got our drinks relatively quickly and the four of us found a place.

The ambience and the location itself are really nice, with a view of the water. The monopoly position is also priceless. We were served very quickly, but I've never had to pour myself a wheat beer for €5.50 before...

Enjoying coffee, ice cream and cake in the bright sunshine is quite something. The scaffolding for the restoration doesn't bother us at all.

Great beer garden, great surroundings. I personally don't really warm to Köbe's mentality. Food is delicious!

We had a very nice sunny afternoon with good food, cold beer and good live music

Very cozy, outside in nice weather. Super

Visited during a work trip and what an amazing place. Both the building and location are amazing and we were lucky to visit during a warm April evening. Set beside the lake there are some lovely views, walks and picture taking opportunities. Parking was easy even though it was busy and booking was not required. The food was amazing. Schnitzel with mushroom sauce followed by chocolate cake and ice cream. Staff although very busy were very attentive and we were served promptly. Lovely place and would highly recommend.

It is not without reason that it is one of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany. It's nice to sit here and look out into the countryside or the impressive city forest house. You can either get beer and pretzels at the self-service counter, or choose from a hearty menu in the service area.

There is something for everyone, small children have enough space to play and run around. The mostly young staff are very friendly. You often also have the opportunity to watch a live performance through the existing stage

Very attentive staff, price performance is also reasonable. Nice restaurant, great ambience with a view of the lake. 🫶🏽

A good restaurant. The staff is very attentive. Complaints about drinks, a measure was not filled to the calibration mark, was changed immediately and was not charged. Class. Nobody was annoyed or angry about it. We will come back!

Unfortunately, even when asked, there is no information about the ingredients/allergens of the cakes sold there.

Great corner in Krefeld, always a pleasure

It's expensive but also very good

I would really like to report positively about the food and drink, but unfortunately we weren't served. The lady was more busy planning her evening and then served 2 tables that were occupied 10 minutes after us. Well, we left without ordering. A pity.

Great location, nice service, you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. The only thing that didn't convince me 100 percent was the menu, so I would have liked a little more beer garden delicacies, like Obazda, Leberkäse or something like that... Just something simpler...

Central place for a walk through the Krefeld city forest. Then take a break outside if the weather is good.

Great buffet, was ordered for a company version
