Sudden Death Brewing in Lübeck

The music was loud and rocky, making it unenthusiastic. Pizza strips were burnt black.

Experience brewery sums it up quite well!

The guys and girls took care of the catering for the beach concerts in Niendorf. Everything was great. Delicious beer, delicious pizza!

Cool place. Great beer. Service could be improved. It wasn't very busy. Still, the customers were barely noticed.

Located in an old warehouse and former harbor area, the space has a rustic, industrial charm. They serve a variety of craft beers and, for food, they mostly serve pizza. The pizza, however, is truly excellent! The staff is also very friendly and not averse to a little chat.

Very good beer selection, good pizzas, but limited food selection

Look at the menu... need I say anything else? Except maybe the brutally delicious IPA and the fluffy, unusual, awesome pizza!

Was there for the presentation of the metal radio play LB steel. #metal #lbsteel - The beer brewed especially for the event is excellent. The service outside was super fast, and the food at the truck was very good. Inside, I didn't understand the logistics for a small slice of pizza, where the crew took 25 minutes to heat it up after ordering. Another tip for you, the #operators: please put small barriers at the entrances to the restrooms, as many people were caught by the doors when they were opened from the inside... Overall, a recommendable place with special, very good beers!!!

Awesome and very diverse craft beer/sodas/cocktails/mocktails, delicious vegetarian and vegan pizza, and the staff were super friendly, helpful, and attentive!!! I give it a definite 10/10. The atmosphere is simply great, the kitchen and bar area seem clean, tidy, and hygienic, and the restrooms were also very clean and very attractively decorated. If you like craft beer, rock, or just good pizza, "Sudden Death" is THE place in Lübeck. We had a great time and will definitely be back!!!!

Simply a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It was truly enjoyable. Thanks for the good beer, the amazing pizza, and the wonderful service. Even though it's a bit of a drive from us, we'd love to come back!

Excellent beers, friendly staff, delicious pizza, and the atmosphere, along with the music, is simply fantastic! Highly recommended!

I finally managed to check out your site; I've been thirsty following your progress for a while. Friday was the day. Beautiful shop, right next to the brewery, it's especially fun to drink, everything is so harmonious. The beer has always been great, without question. Even though I've tried a few different beers, I can definitely get hooked on Willie's Doom Trip. So if any of you are ever passing through Regensburg, feel free to drop off a crate with me. The pizzas are also great, and a big thumbs up for the option to order the vegetarian pizzas vegan. Sure, my bank account is crying a little now, but it was worth it, and I now have one more reason to keep coming back to Lübeck. A big thank you also goes out to Robin. A really nice person who can give you insights into the brewery. So if you want to learn more about beer, there are also brewery tours here. Always good. And of course, last but not least, a big thank you to Vanessa for the excellent advice on the menu. Keep it up!

Anyone who loves craft beer and is in Lübeck should visit Suddendeath at least once. The beers are rotated very regularly, so after about three months, the menu is almost completely new, except for the four Lübi beers that are always on the menu. The outdoor area is also ideal for a relaxed tasting when the weather's nice. We've been there twice now and will probably go back and enjoy it again the next time.

Delicious beers and good pizzas, plus friendly service.

Super cool place within the Gollan area also for events and delicious beer 😋 🍺

A place just my style. A definite recommendation for craft beer fans, but the pilsner and especially the Kellerpilsner are also great. The pizzas are "different" but fit perfectly with the overall concept. The staff is cheerful and the atmosphere is great. It certainly won't be my last visit, and I'll be ordering beer tomorrow =)

As an American living in Lübeck, I can officially give this brewery two thumbs WAY up on offering that authentic US brewery feeling. Not only does the wide drink selections change regularly, this place offers what I consider - and I very much stand by this statement - the best pizza in Northern Germany. As if having good food and drink isn't enough, the staff here is absolutely the cherry on top of an already stellar experience. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. We rented out the private room for an engagement party and the team went above and beyond to make our every wish a reality. I don't even really like beer, this I LOVE Sudden Death! (They usually have amazing ciders and wines as well, so regardless of your preferences, there is something for everyone.) I cannot recommend this place enough, make sure you check it out - you won't be disappointed!

An absolute highlight! The craft beers are really well-made, and the pizzas, while not overly large, are very tasty. The ambiance is simply fantastic. If you're in Lübeck and have a penchant for truly well-crafted beer, you have to come here!

Super cozy, good pizzas and exciting beers

I think the location is great. I highly recommend the beer, food, and staff. Personally, I find the background music too loud. Conversations are very tiring both inside and outside. The prices are controversial. A can of beer for almost €10 and a portion of fries for €5 are something you have to be able to afford. I was really looking forward to your food truck. Unfortunately, only one of the three listed dishes was available for the 3rd annual party. Please be sure to plan for more next time.

Worth seeing and quaint. Good beer.

The best place for beer and food in Lübeck. Great service.

Awesome location. 20 different craft beers. Delicious pizza. Great place to party.

A very nice brewery with a wide selection of home-brewed beers. Rustic charm and minimalist but delicious pizza.

Råt sted med hård rock og skønne pizaaer og hjemmebrygget øl - der er vistnok mere end det fremgår af menukortet. toiletterne en del af oplevelsen med påklistrede logoer.

Industrial design location, lots of home-brewed beers, snacks and pizza. It's best to load the map beforehand using a QR code. Staff very friendly and generally attentive. The exuberantly advertised pizza tastes good, but there is a bit of a price/performance gap as it is quite expensive for its size. Some of the beers were served in English, i.e. with little or no foam. All in all, recommended with some reservations!

Mycket trevligt, satt ute under tak 2a maj . Mycket goda hamburgare och ett bra utbud av olika sorters av sitt egna Lübecker öl.

We like to come here regularly and just ate pizza again today and drank great beers. If you are served by an employee like Bo, the beer tastes even better. We'd love to come back

The waitresses are friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately, the food takes a while to arrive at peak times. The dips for the Neapolitan pizza crust are a great idea. A children's corner would look good in the place.

Rundum richtig. Lieblingkneipe!! TripAdvisor will, dass ich hier mehr schreibe. Was soll ich schwafeln? Ich find‘s gut.

Ein absoluter Volltreffer! Bei Sudden Death stimmt einfach alles: Das Essen war unglaublich lecker – frisch, kreativ und perfekt abgeschmeckt. Dazu gibt's eine fantastische Auswahl an Bieren, bei der wirklich jedes Glas begeistert. Man schmeckt die Leidenschaft fürs Brauen! Auch die Location überzeugt mit ihrem coolen, einladenden Ambiente – ideal für einen entspannten Abend mit Freunden oder einfach zum Genießen. Ich komme definitiv wieder!

The staff offers very good service and is casually friendly. The dishes are impeccable. Subjectively, I don't particularly like the ambience, but that's a matter of individual taste and didn't detract from the overall experience of our visit. Reasonably priced in my opinion.

No matter which pizza I have eaten, they are all extremely tasty. Large selection of Beers. No off-the-shelf beer and that's a good thing. The staff are all relaxed and polite. The advice on the different beers is also top notch. On weekends it is recommended to reserve a table. Then nothing stands in the way of enjoyment.

Cool atmosphere, delicious beer, delicious pizza and great staff. I will definitely go again when I'm in Lübeck!

7 von 5 Sternen fürs Bier! came for the beer! stayed for the beers! pizza and burgers hell yeah 👍

Greatest craft beer in Germany, relaxed atmosphere, great food and a super cool team. A must see for beer lovers!

A little out of the way, rustic pub with its own brewery. The variety of beer has a lot to offer with various alcohol variations. There is also non-alcoholic beer. Everything that came looked good and delicious. The gimmick when eating pizza is the pizza scissors. Just try it out. Gladly again.

Awesome brewery with mega-delicious beers. (TRAVEL BEER)

We celebrated our wedding at Sudden Death with about 140 people. It was fantastic. The atmosphere was great, the venue was casual, all the staff were friendly, did a great job, and made all our guests feel at home. We're glad we chose Sudden Death and grateful for the fantastic evening. The selection and quantity of food was also top-notch. No one went to bed hungry, and as a challenge, everyone could try to drink all the beers on the menu. Well done, dear SD team <3

Great location in an old industrial hall. Everyone very friendly. Beer is drinkable and the pizza is very tasty. Top.

Wow, that's cool! And then some great beers in a can to take away? Pinch me, I think it's cool!

Wir haben Pizza bestellt und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Sehr leckere Pizza und absolut frischer Teig. Auch die verschiedenen Sorten von Bier waren alle lecker. Wir kommen bestimmt bald wieder.

It is one of the best breweries in Germany. There is excellent craft beer. The IPAs, sours and stouts deserve special mention here. The regular events are also always worth a visit.

Great beer with great pizza and great events

Special atmosphere with good friendly service. Unfortunately it was a bit too much for a waiter with a student to help. We had pre-ordered, when the wrong pizzas came to the table, we were told that there was an old menu on the internet.

Absolut überwältigt war ich von diesem außergewöhnlichen kulinarischen Erlebnis! Die Pizzen waren schlichtweg sensationell, ein wahrer Gaumenschmaus. Besonders angetan war ich von den ausgefallen belegten Variationen, die eine wahre Explosion an Aromen boten. Man merkte sofort, dass hier mit viel Liebe zum Detail und hochwertigen Zutaten gearbeitet wird. Da wir leider an der Bar sitzen mussten, konnte ich einige Einblicke in die Küche erhalten. Das Küchenteam hat mich mit seiner beeindruckenden Leistung restlos überzeugt. Aber nicht nur die Pizzen waren ein Highlight, auch die riesige Auswahl an erlesenen Craft-Bieren ließ keine Wünsche offen. Für jeden Geschmack war etwas dabei, und die kompetente Beratung des Personals half bei der Auswahl des passenden Bieres. Die Atmosphäre im Restaurant war einladend und gemütlich, man fühlte sich sofort wohl. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich, und man merkte, dass die Mitarbeiter mit Leidenschaft bei der Sache sind. Insgesamt war mein Besuch ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis, das ich so schnell nicht vergessen werde. Nächstes Mal reservieren wir einen Tisch neben den Braukesseln, um den Flair der Brauerei noch besser zu genießen. Ich kann dieses Restaurant jedem empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach außergewöhnlichen Pizzen und einer großen Auswahl an Craft-Bieren ist.

I always enjoy coming here! A great, relaxed atmosphere paired with very friendly and attentive service and delicious beer. Even if it is a little out of the way, a detour is highly recommended. What I think is a bit of a shame is that the beer menu varies so much. When you find a great beer, it often happens that it is no longer being served two weeks later. For me, a new beer doesn't have to be released every month. But that doesn't stop me from coming over regularly :)

Very nice location. Was there for an event and found the service, food and location very good!

Große Auswahl an leckerem Bier und tolle neapolitanische Pizza. Nur zu empfehlen! Der Spaziergang vom Lübecker Zentrum aus ist es auf jeden Fall wert.

Good location, exceptional pizzas, delicious beers and good and attentive service

Brewery tour great. Lots of information about the origins of beer. Great explanation of how the beer is brewed there. Great tasting. We bought there straight away. Very nice team 👍

A great location, great beer and just harmonious! You come in and feel a bit at home and really comfortable.

Great location! Bo took excellent care of us. The next company party is here again!

Cool location surrounded by brewing kettles. Delicious beer and one of the best pizzas!

Sehr gute Atmosphäre und richtig gute Pizza. Hier kann man definitiv nichts falsch machen! Den Biertrinkern (bin ich nicht) wird hier definitiv ein Herz aufgehen.

Particularly suitable for special beer experiences

Fantastisk stemning. Utallige øl på Anker, og knaldhamrende god stemning. Vi kommer helt sikkert igen en anden gang, vi er i området

Great pizza, great beer, great people!!

The beer and pizza are very good.

A very stylish and interesting location with friendly service, a large selection of beers and drinks, as well as food. The pizza (various variations) is recommended. If you're lucky, you can watch the brewers work while you eat. The view of the brewing facilities is open. An impressive backdrop. Been there several times. No deterioration over the years. Steady and good solid kitchen/furnishings.

Bedienung sehr freundlich Bier sehr gut Die Hocker an den kleinen Tischen extrem unbequem Essen sehr gut Alles zusammen gut

Fedt sted, fedt bryggeri, lækre øller og seriøst gode pizzaer og Deres pizza sticks med aioli var møg lækre. Vi kommer gerne igen.

Great concept, delicious (vegan) pizzas and delicious beer. Minus point: somehow just uncomfortable chairs :D

I'm not a beer fan, but SDB is worth a visit. You can comfortably enjoy your pizza in the brewery atmosphere next to gigantic kettles. The prices are reasonable and the beers (I'm told) are very good. The staff is on their toes and looks after the guests with a pleasant relaxed attitude. The outdoor area is also very pleasant and invites you to linger when the temperatures are warm. Dogs are allowed and even very welcome.

A completely different place to go out. If you love beer, this is the place for you. There are an incredible number of varieties, 20 of which are on tap. The service is relaxed and cheerful, and the pizzas are refreshingly different.

At Suddendeath, beers are still brewed by hand, the focus is on hops, but there are now also very good sour, core range and historically influenced beers. You can order everything online, the very varied merchandising also has to be praised, I love the patches!! We were there briefly on a flying visit in July 2024, before regular operations. Even though there was a lot to do, they took a moment for us, there was a short private tour and then two beers. Really TOP! We'll be back! Then also for food 😅

Hidden treasure! Nice excursion just outside the center of Lubeck.

Friendly, competent and informative staff. Beers unique, cool shop. We will definitely come back on our next visit to the area around Lübeck!

I love beer. And I love pizza. So please believe me when I say that the beer and pizza in this place are some of the best I have ever had. I also found the service very good. Nothing to add but….Absolutely wonderful.

Die Auswahl an Bier ist super, das Angebot wechselt und man kann sich so super durch eine Vielzahl an Bier probieren und was einem schmeckt kann auch gleich als Vorrat in Dosen mitgenommen werden. Ich komme seit gerne wieder.

Very nice brewpub. The pizzas are very good, but the beer is excellent. It's easy to go there with the whole family - it's child and senior friendly. To be recommended without reservation.

We shared 7 pizzas and somehow the differences are manageable. The service is friendly but at first intrusive, then he ignores you. The atmosphere in the brewery was loud.

Delicious food, nice service, location in a former factory hall. Only the music felt a bit too loud. You could still have a conversation

Great pizzas, especially the unusual ones. Pleasant acoustics: conversations are still possible even when the hut is full. Huge selection of the finest crafts. I was blown away. Maybe the hottest brewery in Germany, but definitely top 3. Pizzas sell out quickly. If you are there without a reservation, you may not get one.

Cool location! The charm of the brewery, a large selection of beers with really tasty things and a great pizza. The service was exceptionally good and fast!

If you're looking for something special, you'll find it here. Mega awesome craft beer.0 Many a pizza maker can get a slice of the pizza. The staff is super friendly and can explain every beer to you. For me the perfect location to drink a beer or a few more with friends.😍

This year I was there for the first time, spontaneously. I/we liked it so much that we have been coming by every time we are in Lübeck since then. Great store Great food And especially Great beer. It's nice that you exist.

Really cool location with a lot of special things: special beer, homemade pizzas, lots of free parking spaces. Well priced.

Ich bin nicht wegen des Essens dort gewesen, obwohl die Pizza wirklich sehr gut war. Nein, ich bin wegen der 19 unterschiedlichen Fasssbiere dort hinein. Ich hatte ein Zwickel und zwei verschiedene IPA. Alle drei Biere waren sehr lecker. Für Biertrinker ein MUSS!

Super lecker und rustikal. Das Bier schmeckt einfach nur unglaublich gut. Total toller Laden, den ich nur empfehlen kann.

Sehr entspannte Atmosphäre neben den Braukesseln mit leckerer Pizza, gutem, frischem Bier und freundlicher Bedienung

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre, interessante Karte und nette Bedienung. Ein schöner Ort für eine gemütliche Runde mit Freunden und Familie.

Unfortunately I can't judge the food or other services. We wanted to celebrate a “former reunion” here and had already made an appointment at the restaurant weeks ago because Sudden Death was recommended to us because of the good pizza and the ambience. Now we received a rejection a week ago with the following reason. “We received an inquiry and therefore have a closed event. We can make more money with this.” I think it's very bad to give such a rejection. If the location is filled with many small groups, good sales will also be generated. Personally, I probably won't be a guest at Sudden Death again, no matter how delicious the pizza is. There are also many other good restaurants in Lübeck. In the long term, you should think about your business policy and service and how you treat your guests/potential guests. I remain with kind regards Jörg E.

At the pub quiz we were asked to pay the bill at 9:45 p.m. even though the place was full and our table had made a decent amount of money and would have kept going. You don't feel welcome as a guest. Although there were only four pizzas on the menu, they took an extremely long time to prepare and it wasn't on the menu that a particular pizza (salami) was spicy.

Narrowly escaped sudden death - after perfect pizza/beer enjoyment.

The ambience is just amazing. Service and food as well. We each had a tasting beer board with four types of beer. Plus a delicious pizza with creative toppings. We will definitely come back to test the advanced board

Very cool location for lovers of special beers. A guided tour is particularly worthwhile because you can then learn a lot about the history of Sudden Death. The food is solid with good value for money.

Geschweige von dem Ambiente und der geilsten Pizza die ich jemals gegessen habe, sind die Leute auch einfach mega. Man fühlt sich als würde man mit seinen Freunden in ner robusten halle sitzen und einfach spaß haben!!!! Liebe diesen Laden einfach!

Rustic brewery with a bar. Many types of beer. Delicious food, good service.

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten

1. Tolles Bier !!! Daher der entscheidende Grund hierher zu kommen. 2. Lange Wartezeiten auf Bier und Essen. Wartezeit war per Tafel bereits vorab klar, wurde aber noch mal gerissen und die dafür angekündigte kalte Platte als Entschuldigung kam auch nicht, da dann die Pizza vorher kam. Servicechaos. 3. Zwei von Acht Pizzen auf der Karte waren aus. 4. Schade, dass es bei 16 Bieren vom Fass keine flights/ Probensets gibt. 5. Warum ein Teil der Karte auf Papier am Klemmbrett kommt, ich mir den entscheidenden Teil der wechselnden Biere dann aber per QR-Code auf dem Handy anschauen muss (und der dann auf englisch ist ) ist mir rätselhaft. Kann man da nicht zwei Zettel mehr ans Klemmbrett machen?

The service took very good care of our company.

Went there for the first time yesterday. Definitely not the last. Pizza and beer great. The staff must be worth their weight in gold. I have rarely had such friendly and attentive staff. We were a closed society. Till and his great colleague treated us to drinks. A big thank you to both of them

Great food and great service. Everything is well maintained and a very tasteful and harmonious atmosphere. The concept is consistent throughout. Top!

How do you get to a pub in a shipyard? A concert and of course you have to strengthen yourself beforehand. Google Maps shows the Sudden Death Brewery very close to the Kulturwerft. That sounded good, so I decided to make a reservation. You have reached your goal... When you arrived in front of a large hall with a canopy, you immediately noticed the passion that the operators live here. We sat at an oil drum with a view of the entire room. Classically you would call it a brewery, but there's nothing classic here. A large counter with a neon SD/BC sign and a whopping 19 taps. Shortly overwhelmed by the selection, we decided on “Grindhouse” and “Give Me Shelter”. The description on the map is helpful, but you can also get advice from the very friendly staff. Due to the planned rush there was a smaller selection of food, but that wasn't a problem. We each had a delicious pizza with chanterelles, salsiccia and fennel. I won't give away the advice on how best to eat the pizza here, because it's brilliant and everyone should try it out there. Guys, how cool was this station wagon. And then the craft beer... born near Weihenstephan and genetically influenced by the classic beer... I found the IPA really tasty. Since it's not exactly around the corner for us, a large package arrived today with a few cans of the delicious stuff.

Super great shop, always friendly service, great events, with one of the best pizzas!!! Not to mention this incredibly interesting and delicious selection of beers! Great, cozy location! Again and again, I can recommend it to anyone who is in Lübeck!!!

Absolutely cool atmosphere, we were there before a concert, it was full, so it took a little longer. Great beer and very tasty pizza

Einfach geile Atmosphäre hier. Hatten eine Menge Spaß und das Bier hat geschmeckt. Auch die Pizza war sehr lecker. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

It was a fun night out with great beer and a perfect pizza! Nice atmosphere at the pub quiz night. The waiters were nice and the venue is too cool!

Super. Lecker. Freundlich. Ich komme wieder und trinke das Bier. Und gehe zum Pubquiz. Nette Bedienung und leckeres Essen.
