Uerige in Düsseldorf

Very good shop where you can have a beer outside. The service is excellent and the prices are fair

Large brauhaus where the food is excellent value for money.

At first we were enthusiastic by the old brown looks of this place, however the communication and rudeness of the waiter completely ruined this experience. Without asking you receive beer on the table. At first this seems like great service, but if one of the visitors wants something else to drink you really have to push the waiter. Reluctantly you receive apple juice, because there is nothing else to drink. The beer is ok, especially after you had a few forced down your throat by the waiter. Then received multiple wrong main courses, due to the lack of communication. Taste was good enough and it was served pretty fast. Dessert takes ages to arrive, but in the meantime beer is served in high speed without asking, even if your glass is not empty yet. When it comes to payments, the waiter is really intimidating. Only visit this place if you are up for a continuous flow of beer and like to have arguments with the waiter.

The alt is quite bitter and wasn't really my taste. The “Hosen Hell”, on the other hand, is a blast. Very tasty... The waitress really makes an effort to serve a cliché. We didn't try any food. Ambience rustic, quaint and cozy. Anyone who is in Düsseldorf should have been there at least once.

Tourist trap. They push their bitter beer on you. When our beer was almost empty, they put down 5 new beers for our group. When we urged them that we didn't order them and didn't want them, they told us it's standard practice and next time we need to put coasters on top of our glasses.

The food is delicious! The stew that goes with the roasted suckling pig is super delicious! The pork buns are delicious too!

That was a really great evening. The buffet was a nice presentation of Düsseldorf culture... The service was great and friendly. The company event was a total success. I thank you for the service

Had a bite to eat on a Saturday afternoon. The place was quite full at that time. The waiters were correct but on the gruff side, very businesslike. Opted for the Schnitzel with local beer, meal was good, price quite reasonable. Setting is absolutely great, the brewery is literally in the restaurant.

Food too expensive for the quality you get. Nevertheless, the store is probably very busy due to its location. The staff also seems very relaxed due to the stress level there.

Schnitzel probably came from the freezer. Otherwise, great beer, great ambience

bad beer not drinkable and if you don't put your beer card on your glass they will bring the next one without asking

Busy space typical of a German brewery! Huge space with varied food and beautiful beer!

When we came the staff was vey rude and impatient. They barely look you in the eye and talk annoyed at anything you say. Don't care to explain properly their service and then when drinks were asked they push to take their beer of the house. They listen to them men but then don't ask the women and just bring beers for all. Then we had to pay in cash for under the 50 euro's, so they also work with black money. There was more annoyed costumers and no happy atmosphere at all.

5 years ago we (2 couples) were here and based on the good and fun experience we went back. It was disappointing now. The atmosphere was very different. For example, at the time it was nice that the bell sounded every time a new barrel of beer was opened. It was nice to see a new wooden barrel of beer being put on the bar. Another point was that only 2 snacks could be obtained at the time. Now there is a choice of complete meals. For us, this made the atmosphere completely different and therefore less fun. The Altbier is as tasty as ever!

It's a real beer hall atmosphere, it's not obvious from the outside, but when you enter, there are different room concepts, you can go into its depths :) There are food and beer options. I added the November 2024 menu to the photos. I think you should definitely stop by and have a beer.

It's just an institution in Düsseldorf. The ambience is of course impeccable because, in addition to the keys and foxes, it is the original, the waiters are super fast and on the ball, the food is home-style and delicious.

a great place A typical place Just a small downside, you need to bring liquid, not Bancontact

A very pleasant atmosphere, a lively street. There is no need to explain the beers. ❤️

Fantastic traditional pub. Nice house beer, staff is very helpful and kind, decoration travels you many years to the past and food is also good. For me, a must visit place of Dusseldorf.

A brewery: the beer tastes very good, the atmosphere is rustic, simple, loud. Always good for a stop.

Die Köbesse waren "normal " unfreundlich. Das gehört hier zum Konzept und zu den Braugaststätten in Düsseldorf. Uns hat der Preis für das Altbier und das 1/2 - volle Glas geärgert, von denen wir jede Menge verkonsumiert haben. Eigentlich schade. Das Uerige sollte diese Masche nicht nötig haben.

We entered the premises and sat at the first table. We asked the waiter some things (if they had more beer in addition to altbier, what was the best place to eat, etc.) and he didn't answer us, it seemed like we were bothering us. The bill was €17, we gave €20 and we are still waiting for the return. Then we went inside to eat and things changed: good service, pleasant rooms and more than acceptable knuckle. We paid the food bill without problems and without surprises. The summary is that the place is typical and good, but there are some waiters who have tourismphobia and try to take advantage of it.

Service unfriendly, waiter doesn't see mistakes, reacts aggressively and ruins the whole evening. It's just a shame that one person can drag the whole restaurant into such a mess in my eyes. All because of a slip of the tongue.

Nice place to have traditional beer Altbeer

Nice ambience with an old homely interior that invites you to linger. Unfortunately the service was unfriendly and unmotivated, under these circumstances I probably won't find my way to this restaurant again.

The beer just tastes good. It tastes "very good"

We dropped in for a drink. The bar man found us a table at back of pub. He brought us 2 beers without asking what we'd like to drink - I would've chosen wine tbh - but accepted the beer. As we finished those, he brought 2 more. When we went to pay, the manager literally yelled at us because we wanted to pay by card, he said that all bills under €50 must be paid in cash. His attitude was very upsetting. There were no notices and no one said beforehand. Very disappointing experience.

Don't go! Leading them to the most expensive food, Since the woman couldn't eat all of Haksendo on her own, she asked her to order more from the menu. When paying, I kept asking for a receipt, but they wouldn't give it to me, and they kept asking for a tip. It came out to less than 30 euros, but they asked for 5 euros as a service and told me to pay in cash. It seems like the money is being turned around and used to patronize tourists. I hope this store goes out of business or undergoes a tax audit! Go and don't have an unpleasant experience like I did!

The waiter arrogant and not efficient is completely destroying the overall experience

A must for a visit to Düsseldorf.

Very bad experience, we were 4 colleagues and we were charged for 21 beers even though we drank 11. Feeling like we were constantly being ripped off, some servers were fake nice, others not nice at all. A tourist trap.

Traditional German food, no complaints! Food is fine and Atmosphere is good. Price is quite reasonable. A bit pity that I was kinda forced to tip,m. Tbh even wasn’t asked by the staff, I would also do tip, just don’t like to be forced. Also, Heard from my accompany that tip was even asked in bathroom by someone pushing the hand soap for you.

Typical brewery that you cannot miss. At first the waiter was unfriendly and at the end too… but once you know the system of how to order, everything will be fine! If you stay outside, that's where the atmosphere is and we loved it. When the friendly waiter with a grumpy face passes by with a tray full of glasses of beer (very good toast) you just have to gesture to him and indicate how many of you there are, then he will put the glasses for you and charge you immediately (I think 2.60 each one) and so on until you get tired. When you don't want any more rounds, if you're still chatting and gossiping, just put the coaster on top of the glass (it's your secret code). I will return!

Delicious beer, rustic food, cozy brewery, the staff needs thick skin.

Das allerletzte!!! Eine derartig unfreundliche Bedienung ist uns noch nie begegnet. Es scheint als wenn es nur um Geldmachen geht und Service bzw. Freundlichkeit ein Fremdwort sind. Nie wieder werden wir dieses Brauhaus aufsuchen. Ist keinesfalls empfehlenswert

Service was unfriendly, rude and slow.

It smells a bit inside, but the atmosphere is nice. It was a historical beer brewing house. Even in winter you can find people sitting outside drinking beer. The taste of the beer is a little bitter and bitter. It's interesting that they use coasters as add-ons.

Were here on a Saturday lunchtime for a two-day meal. We didn't see a single properly tapped beer. All were well below the calibration mark. The difference, if you apply the rule of three, 0.2 to 0.25 amounts to a whopping 40 cents that you are being cheated out of. We had to specifically ask twice for a decent tap, which was then fulfilled. Sorry Ueriges, but that doesn't work

Fantastic Altbier, one that you can't find out of the local area. Make sure to visit if you're in Düsseldorf!

Excellent for a drink. To eat there is also something to do, their cheese patties are consistent. Beer is served unlimited, when you sit down you are automatically served a local 20 cl before taking your order. As soon as the glass is finished, the staff will replace it with a new full glass (around 3 euros each glass). If you no longer want it, just put the glass base on top of the glass.

Large (and especially real) beer glasses would be world class. Otherwise quite nice.

The waiter was not friendly at all. Worst experience I ever had at a restaurant/bar. The waiter made a comment because I did not order a lot of food but I took a table... Also they force you to take another beer even if you have not finished the first one and even if you don't want to order another one. It seems they don't like tourists there.

The menu is quite simple, but the food is delicious. The selection of little things is great. Unfortunately there is neither ketchup nor fries. However, ketchup or cranberries would be recommended for the Viennese. There is nothing wrong with the service. Very friendly waiters.

We actually wanted to eat and drink, but the service and atmosphere were so unpleasant that we finished our beer and left. In the entire time it took us to drink the beer, we weren't even served, so we weren't even able to place our planned food order.

One inn, one drink, one size! Very traditional, environmentally conscious and stylish

I was really looking forward to visiting this place, but unfortunately, my experience was ruined by poor service and a lack of transparency. The restaurant is cash only, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere until it came time to pay. This was a big surprise and inconvenience, as I rarely carry cash and didn’t expect this in 2024! When I explained the situation, hoping for some understanding, the bearded staff member was incredibly rude and dismissive, saying, “I don’t care you didn’t know.” To make matters worse, he demanded that either my girlfriend or I stay behind at the restaurant while the other went to withdraw cash, making us feel like criminals over their unclear policy. Restaurants should prioritize clear communication with their customers, not make them feel unwelcome or like an inconvenience. This place desperately needs to work on both its customer service and transparency. Would not recommend.

Unfortunately very unfriendly gentleman as waitress.

Do not serve plain water!! I ask for a bottle of still water they tell me no, so I ask for tap water they also refuse!! Forced to eat my platen drinking apple juice! Salad as standard.

We were there on a weekday. Food is quite okay, since with so many guests, a schnitzel, for example, is not prepared in a pan, but rather in the deep fryer. Service really quick and attentive! Great 😃 I can't imagine how things would work when there's even more going on. There are several rooms within the building. The room we were in has a real rustic “pub” feel. It's really loud in there because of the wooden paneling on the walls and ceilings. I can't judge what the other rooms are like. It was quite well attended. For groups of four or more people, I recommend making a reservation, even on weekdays.

Spontaneously drank a few Altbiers and didn't regret it. A cozy place to stay for a short or long time. Very funny service. We had fun

Wir sind mit Gästen auf ein paar Altbier zum Uerige gegangen. Der Köbes war beim Alt bringen schon sehr überlaunisch und als wir dann reinkamen, um die Schwemme mal anzuschauen, wollte ein Gast ein Foto machen, was das „Fass“ wohl zum überlaufen brachte und es sofort laut und aggressiv wurde. Ein anderer Köbes hat dann „versöhnlich“ eingegriffen und versucht die Situation zu retten. Hab ich so in einem Brauhaus noch nie erlebt und verzichte in Zukunft auf den Uerige.

Immense environment, a bit like a labyrinth! Tourist spot, with almost rude service (no need to be friendly as the place is crowded), good drinks and food left a lot to be desired. I don't drink, I asked for water and was almost shot by the waiter's gaze. It's not worth it. PAYMENT IN CASH ONLY

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Uerige, an authentic German restaurant, and the experience was fantastic! As an American trying haxe (pork knuckle) for the first time, I was blown away by how delicious it was. The crispy, flavorful skin combined with the tender, juicy meat made for an unforgettable meal. The portion was generous and paired perfectly with traditional sides like sauerkraut and mustard. The atmosphere at Uerige felt genuinely German, with its cozy setting and friendly service. Whether you’re familiar with German cuisine or trying it for the first time, Uerige is a must-visit spot for a truly authentic experience. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to indulge in classic German flavors.

For a proper pork knuckle and Alt beer experience, go no further.

Always delicious! Nice to be outside and drink beer. A colorful hustle and bustle on the street and well attended when the weather is good. You also feel comfortable inside.

It just keeps getting better! Waiters arrogant, absolutely sick of the prices, and now beer on tap!!!! What happened to the Uerige??? But there are probably still enough tourists who like the shop. As a former regular who has been there for more than 30 years, I will now avoid this shop, like many other former regulars.

You have to be there at least once.

We didn't like the beer, waiter gave us more while we didn't want more. Big bills!

Delicious beer Staff top and fast again and again

In pieno centro si trova questa storica birreria, con una delle più famose, we più bevute, birra Alt di Dusseldorf. Fermata fissa da molti anni, questa volta, oltre agli appetizer caldi/freddi tipici da appoggio alla birra, abbiamo trovato anche piatti tipici più corposi. Da provare assolutamente

Unique beer with great taste! Love this place 🍺

Delicious beer, brewery food, snacks and a relaxed atmosphere. Occasionally grumpy kebesses. Anyone who is open to contacts can find them... popular with trade fair visitors, including internationally.

Always brilliant - delicious beer, good little things to eat - fast service

They say they only accept cash, but there is a card machine. They ask about your nationality and if you are Asian, a 25% mandatory tip is added when paying by card. be careful.

It has been known for decades. However, the service inside was extremely poor. We visited the Uerige twice in one week. Both times sat on the corner in the dining room. Both times you had to wait a long time for your beer, not to mention a refill. On the second visit on Monday, lentil soup with sausages. Lentil soup with garlic slices? My grandma would be horrified. Sausage was cold, the waiter didn't listen and three times you could only place part of the order because he only took the order as he walked past. It doesn't work at all.

If u don’t have cash you will be forced to tip more than 25%.

Old traditional inn with famous top-fermented beer. Contrary to other information, we had a very friendly “Köppes” who served us excellently, quickly and friendly👍. Good food. My pork knuckle was the best I've ever eaten. We'll be back Went again with 6 people. Good food, delicious beer, friendly Köbbes. Nice atmosphere

Very cozy brewery with delicious food and tasty beer 🍻 .... Worth a visit...

Cozy brewery restaurant in the inside with a warm and inviting atmosphere, adorned in mid-century wood decor. The furniture is a blend of rich, dark wood, with sleek lines and minimalist detailing, giving it a modern yet nostalgic feel. The walls are lined with wooden paneling, I had the "Mett Brötchen"... a classic German dish featuring raw minced pork, seasoned with onions, salt, and pepper, and served on a fresh, crusty roll. It's rich, flavorful, and a bit different from the usual pub fare. Wash it down with the malty lager brewed in-house for the full experience!

We stood there 10 min and wait for beer. Waiter saw us and completely ignored us although we asked him if could be served. “ top service “ as usual. We left without further waiting.

Bad service... looks run down... even as a Köbes you don't treat your customers like that. Take an example from the other Altbier pubs in the city

Very good place with its own unique atmosphere and rituals. It is not about food or drinks, it is about the spirit and vibe. And yes, their beer is great as well as food.

Service Wüste Uerige Düsseldorf ordered 2 beers and had to wait 30 minutes. We were served only when we asked. The staff wasn't friendly. We were literally ignored. After that, too little change was given. Not recommended at all

A great traditional German beer hall. Altbier is an easy to drink and very delicious beer. If you come to Düsseldorf, be sure to stop by

Tipica birreria cittadina con tipico cibo da birreria, stinco e compagnia bella. Buona la Altbier servita nei classici bicchieri da 0,25.

This was my first time in Germany, so naturally, I did what any savvy traveler would do—I asked the first random person I met on the train for advice. Enter: a true British gentleman (Essen resident, Brighton vibes), who suggested me "Mate, if you want the real local deal, head to Uerige! So off I go, hungry and curious, and wow, I walk straight into what feels like a German food Olympics. Schnitzel? Check. Bratwurst? Check. Potatoes for days? Oh, they’re endless. But wait – there's also a tidal wave of beer – because apparently at Uerige, if you’re not drowning in it, you’re doing it wrong. Now, the waiters here... they're on another level. Imagine sprinters, but their sole mission is to keep your glass full. And beware! If you don’t throw your hand over your glass like it's a life preserver, they will top you up again... and again until you're practically made of malt. But the best part? I innocently ask for a glass of water and the waiter, with the driest humor of all time, says, "Oh, all the water you need is already in the beer." Apparently, Germans DO have a sense of humor, and it’s as refreshing as their... beer. Left Uerige pleasantly stuffed, slightly tipsy, and with a newfound respect for both German cuisine and their cheeky humor. Highly recommend, but proceed with caution if you're not trying to turn into a beer keg on legs!

The waiters are the worst, they treated us very badly. We were treated very badly and the service was very poor. The way they spoke to us and treated us was simply unacceptable. I can't believe it, it's all really bad and we were treated very badly. And they didn't give us any change.

A quaint Düsseldorf Altbier brewery that is perfect as a starting point for an evening in the old town. The fast and attentive service ensures that you never have to wait long for your cold drink. I can't say anything about the food, but the ambience is definitely convincing. You can especially stand or sit outside to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the old town.

Since Corona, this has been an absolute tourist shop that lives by its name! Underground service.

I had made a request. Even as a press representative. I wasn't even given an answer. If you write to a company to get information and possibly also want to leave money with this company, an answer is actually great. It could be a win win.

Typical pub to try, but I don't recommend going there. On days of chaos, the waiters don't follow you, after the third beer I put the coaster on top of the glass as a sign that I don't want to continue the beer round but they continued to serve us beer, I asked for a goulash and I got a curry wurst.

BEWARE do not go to this place if you don't want to be scammed. At the end of the evening we had 8 more beers on our bill to pay. You only pay in cash (but it's not marked anywhere) and what's more they don't make you pay separate bills. The nightmare service. The waiter was drinking on duty and I'm not surprised that he got the bill wrong by writing everything down in pencil on a coaster. Place to forget!

The building looks cool and they serve beer from wooden barrels.

Nice restaurant, very traditional, nice staff. But the food was really bad, our schnitzel was tough and very dry. The roast was also dry. The waiter responded to our complaint very nicely and would have bought us a round of beer, but we really didn't feel like it anymore. What also really bothered me was that we didn't get an invoice and couldn't pay by card

Very nice place and very good food and beer. That said, the waiter drinks beer during service, writes down the orders on a coaster and in the end they are unable to do the math, among other things they speak little English. Not recommended, you will definitely find better. By the way, they only serve dark beer.

Terrible experience...I don't recommend it to anyone.

Great brewery! Authentic, friendly staff, great food, great Kölsch!

A place for beer drinkers 😉 that is worth it.

Nice winding old pub. There is a small menu, but the food is not that convincing. The service is nice and fast and if you don't like alt, there is very good light beer.

I've never complained or rated anything. But that's not okay. We made reservations for 10 people, but there are only 9 people and one has to stand at the bar table to eat. There is no ketchup or mayo either. I've really never experienced anything like that. And we eat out often. Very unfortunate.

Absolutely essential to visit, both for its atmosphere and for its beer, for me, without a doubt, the best Altbier in the city.

Fantastic beer hall, split into many small wood panelled rooms. The beer was excellent, our favourite so far in Dusseldorf. Food was very good. Service efficient and friendly.

Quaint pub with lots of small rooms. The house beer and the cabbage rolls were delicious. Friendly, quick service.

Delicious Pants Hell! 😍 Very nice shop, cool people, nice to sit outside, really perfect

Delicious beer, hearty and good food, as well as Köbese, as you would expect from a top brewery, simply a great atmosphere

A courteous, nice staff. 👍😄 I'd love to come by again

Not a bad brewery, I didn't experience bad service as reported by others, on the contrary. Beer is good and fresh, here you get a full glass not half foam.

Beer was very bad if you are used to good beer. Service is also incredibly unfriendly. Not recommended.

Drank another delicious Dröpke and a Mettbrötchen

I've had a read through the reviews and seen that it's not just me who was short changed by a waiter who turned aggressive when challenged. Seriously, avoid this place; it will give you a bad impression of what is otherwise an amazing city with great brewery houses.
