Uerige in Düsseldorf

Personal nicht kompetent: Sie rufen Sie pfeifen und reagieren unhöflich. Am Ende des Essens bat ich darum, mit Karte zu bezahlen (150 Euro). Der Kellner sagte mir, wo der Geldautomat sei, an dem ich das Geld abheben könne, mit Kommentaren wie "in Ihrem Land lebt man nicht ohne Bargeld", und ich sollte anmerken, dass die anderen Leute an meinem Tisch im Restaurant warteten, während ich das Geld abhob, es bestand also keine Fluchtgefahr. Ich bin ein Universitätsprofessor, der zu Vorlesungen in ganz Europa eingeladen wird, und in London, Kopenhagen und sogar Rom hatte ich nie ein Problem damit, diese Gebühren mit einer Karte zu bezahlen, zumal wir im 21. Das Essen ist gut, aber ich warte immer noch auf meine Quittung, nachdem ich bezahlt habe. Die Besitzer sollten ihr Personal wirklich sorgfältiger auswählen, sonst würde es mich nicht überraschen, wenn die Leute, nachdem sie das Lokal einmal ausprobiert haben, buchstäblich auf die andere Straßenseite gehen, um einen höflicheren Service und mehr Zahlungsmöglichkeiten zu bekommen

Very tasty food. Great old beer. The roast beef with remoulade and fried potatoes is highly recommended.

Fui recomendado Uerige por un colega que conoce Dusseldorf al revés. Recomendó encarecidamente la cerveza oscura y la comida, Uerige no decepcionó. Estaba solo, pero me trataron muy bien por el personal y la comida era excelente y cerveza. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante para una experiencia genuina que se conecta con tiempos pasados. ¡Me encantó! Personal experimentado que era muy educado y leer mis necesidades como un visitante extranjero por primera vez.

They kept serving us their bitter brown beer but we didn’t ask for it.. Food was alright but they didn’t want to serve any other drinks than the beer which tasted horrible. Felt like a tourist trap..

Very rustic atmosphere, very drinkable beer, the waitress was a bit too businesslike for me and sometimes brought out a new beer when the first one was still a quarter full. The glasses are only three quarters full no matter how you turn or turn them. Still a nice spot and worth a visit.

The only two positives about this brewery are the location and the beer. The internal space is divided into many different rooms, where you can breathe a true brauhaus atmosphere. The altbier they serve is very good: strong but very pleasant. For the rest everything is a failure, starting from the service, with rude staff who respond in German when asked a question in English. One of these very nice people, in addition to making us wait a long time to serve us, also tried to make us pay for 2 for a dish ordered (and made) for 1 person. They don't accept cards but only cash and they don't give receipts. The food is poor: very cold roast beef served with baked potatoes instead of fried, as it was written. The cheese was served with a horrible salad, one of those ready-made ones in a bag. Learn some manners and some respect for your customers. And pay your taxes.

Delicious and drinkable. I saw some comments saying that the waiter had a bad attitude, but the waiter I met was quite nice and didn't ask for a tip. This may vary from person to person. The door of his store is a big iron door. From the outside, I thought it was closed. But when I bravely went over and opened it, I found that there was a cave inside, with many people and a huge place.

A unique experience! An aggressive waiter, visibly annoyed by foreign tourists...it's not easy to order if you don't speak German! The setting is typical, the meal average and pay attention to the bill! And if you don't tip, watch out for the grimace and of course add a cash only payment... never again for our part but we will remember it..

Place to escape! We came to discover a typical German place, but we were very disappointed: aggressive waiter because we were unable to place an order within a minute (time to understand the menu in German), no still water possible, very average dishes, no credit card payment... In short, for a first experience in a German brasserie, we were cold...

NEVER AGAIN! We felt attacked, we only stayed out of fear of not finding a place elsewhere! No plain water...no soda. No children's menu and the meal is not great and expensive for what it is! Cash payment only and such unpleasant service! To flee...

Unique bitter beer, service was alright - helped us to a spare table for group of 6, food came quickly and tasted good - expensive however, €3 for small beer and food €20+ for your standard menu choices for German brew houses. Learned to put coaster on beer top if didn't want more, part of the experience - some reviews give this negatively however this was fun.

So was von schrecklich! War mit Freunden da und habe eine Weinschorle bestellt. Die war ungenießbar und hat für 0.15 l sagenhafte 7,50€ gekostet. Ich wollte sie zurückgeben aber diese schrecklich unfreundlichen Kellner haben nicht reagiert und mich ignoriert! Was für eine Arroganz!!

I had high hopes for this pub in Düsseldorf, but it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. First, the beer was extremely bitter—not what I expected at all, especially in a place renowned for its beer culture. To make matters worse, the service was appalling. They don’t accept contactless payments, which in 2024 feels ridiculous. I was told to go exchange money at a nearby ATM, while my girlfriend was rudely ordered to stay in the pub, making us feel like criminals over their unclear payment policy. Nowhere in the pub does it clearly state that card payments are only accepted for amounts over 50 euros. When we finally paid, the waiter didn’t even ask if we wanted our change back. He treated us rudely throughout the experience, continuing to speak German despite clearly knowing we spoke English, making the situation even more awkward. This entire visit left us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. A terrible experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Avoid it if you value good service and transparency.

I read a lot about unfriendly staff, but I totally disagree with that!! We were treated very friendly and if we had any questions they were answered with great friendliness. If we are in Düsseldorf again we will definitely visit again. And the beer is super tasty!!

The staff were so rude. They sneered at me and my family when we walked in. It was lunch time during the Christmas market. Not busy. Your nightmare image of the rude arrogant German. So sad really as every where else the people and staff were 180 degrees opposite. Shockingly rude and I'll mannered.

A very strange establishment. The interior seems interesting, but it looks untidy. Service is slow and unfriendly. As for the food, the pork knuckle was incredibly dry and difficult to chew. And beer is not for everyone. Moreover, payment is only in cash, as in the Middle Ages. I would not recommend visiting.

The first guests who stand at a table at the edge of the awning are immediately insulted by the cellars why we stand so far away. Unfriendly af

Pleasant atmosphere, delicious beer, staff sometimes unfriendly, toilets dirty

Historic brewery in Dusseldorf,.. Let's say that kindness and sympathy are something else. I had great reviews about the food but....shame that at 9.50pm the kitchen was closed. And drinking beer like there's no tomorrow on an empty stomach...isn't the best. Too bad because the beer is super

The waiter came by several times without refilling us... After 30 minutes, we decided to go to another brewery. The beer was excellent though.

Terrible experience. Older waiter (owner?) in his 60's treated us extremely rudely as American tourists. We were polite, ordered the best we could in German (we learned the language just for this trip) and then I was told after ordering the käse spaetzle and trying to order the pickled eggs "NO, you have enough". I was shocked. Have never been told I could not order something on the menu. And this was the only appetizer we tried to order. I politely said that I would just like to try it and was then told "you can try next time" to which I responded that I was only there this one day and he just walked away muttering in German. He never did bring the eggs. Such a disappointment since I had researched how to prepare and eat them and was truly excited about trying them. He ruined my afternoon in Dusseldorf and left a horrible impression. I was just shocked. The käse spaetzle was good, but not worth the disrespectful treatment by the staff. Maybe if my husband had asked for them he would have been more successful? This miserable man seems to think it's ok to tell women and paying customers what they can and can't have.

The best local beer in the city. (2,85eu/glass)

Caotico ma ampio, affascinante. La birra probabilmente era troppo fredda per essere apprezzata appieno (l'ho trovata un po' piatta e non caratterizzata). I camerieri come la maggior parte dei tedeschi sono di stampo militaresco. In generale tuttavia è un posto dove tornerei sempre a trascorrere il tempo poichè si percepisce la storia nell'aria

Actually 5 ⭐ but unfortunately there are no “normal” soft drinks (Cola, Fanta, Sprite).

You cannot miss the roast knuckle (uerige haxe) and the alt beer served in this traditional Düsseldorf brewery. Furthermore, the way of working is very curious, pouring beers without stopping until you put the coaster on top of the glass to warn that he doesn't want any more!!! A typical place and also not very expensive. Totally recommended.

Nightcap with 14 people... We weren't allowed to order coke or water. Instead, we were advised not to drink anything. So we did and left. You easily lost 150/200 thalers. How stupid can you be?!

Nice bar with very nice interior, staff very friendly and helpful, definitely worth a visit

Very poor service, grumpy waiters who put beer on your table without asking and immediately put lines on a piece of paper that is also your receipt. If you run out of beer, they will immediately put out new ones. No tour of the brewery and the food is also bad. DO NOT go here!!!

Well, I'm a Düsseldorf girl. After mulled wine and the like, we finally wanted a tastier cold Uerige. But I'm a slow drinker and eater. So I brought my leftovers with me, my five friends were leftover free. Nevertheless, the basket refused to give at least my 5 friends a beer. I was forced to To put the Kabüffke alone at the trash can to eat my leftovers so that the other five could get a beer, which is what I wanted afterwards. I found that really beneath all dignity.

Very atmospheric bar. Despite the rather abrupt waiters and overpriced, I recommend visiting this place at least once to be transported to the early 20th century, I really enjoyed it. The beer is delicious, the appetizers too. Very atmospheric bar.

Take three to get to know the beer style. Find the 5 breweries that still brew in-house!

Do not waste your time. Very rude staff.

What super UNfriendly staff, to the point of being rude...... Because it is busy during the Christmas market, the staff does not have to respond to customers. Once and never again. Too bad we can't give 0 stars....

The three of us spontaneously stopped by today. Delicious old, delicious food! Served quickly and friendly. We were happy and the Dutch tourists who were sitting at our table were happy too!

Save yourself from their average beer and very rude and ignorant staff.

Disgustingly rude and ignorant staff, even for German standards. Their beers are not even that good compared to other Altbier breweries nearby. Steer away especially if you don’t speak German

We wanted to try this place and we had to leave cos the waiter was so rude. What a shame we really wanted to try a traditional place… they don’t deserve tourist money. Also be aware it is cash only.

Do make reservations before you came here, specially if you have a large group of people We came here to have lunch after our morning Christmas market tour from Cologne! It was a very cold and windy day but soon s as you step into the restaurant you felt the warmth from the atmosphere! Due to the reservations, all eight of us were quickly seated! Beer was ordered and very quickly delivered! The beer is fresh and crispy, very easy to drink! And if you don’t put the coasters on top of your glass and beer will just keep coming! They also just use a coaster to track how many glasses of beers you drink and check you out by that coaster on your table! Which it was very interesting! Sent from my iPhone

Beautiful pub! They make their own beer, although it is quite bitter. The service is really terrible, not a smile is given to you.

Atmosphere is great, but the home-brewed beer is not very tasty. Waiters are unfriendly and for 5 home-brewed beers the price is expensive. And no music or anything.

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

Leuke plek in oude stijl voor eten en drinken. Betaalbaar en prima diner gegeten en bier van eigen brouwerij moet je ook proberen.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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. ❤️

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

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.

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.

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.

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"

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!

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.

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

A must for a visit to Düsseldorf.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

Service was unfriendly, rude and slow.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

You have to be there at least once.

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.

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
