Uerige in Düsseldorf

Cash only. Sorry, how can anyone support something like that?

I LOVED this place, it has amazing food and the atmosphere is amazing. If you want to experience true German culture, this is the place

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was rustic and typically Düsseldorf – exactly as expected. Unfortunately, I was charged for a beer on the bill that I didn't even get. Apparently so I could pay by card - even though I was under the minimum amount of €50. This seemed opaque and left a bad aftertaste. It's a shame, because the evening could have been wonderful.

The Köbes is usually in a good mood. The only disadvantage is that you don't get the beer 0.2L but less. Otherwise the best Altbier in my opinion. Outdoor terrace is close to the Rhine. Great in summer! Visited a few times in the last 10 years, a must in Düsseldorf!

The inside looked authentic and the beer tasted great. However, it needs to be said that the atmosphere is rushed and the food is not amazing. It also feels too touristy (unsurprisingly, coming from a tourist).

Authentic old interiors, classic menu offerings. I had the schnitzel which was a bit dry. Excellent beer. Reasonably priced.

With so much joy we entered this restaurant where we were greeted by the coldest atmosphere in every respect. We felt very unwelcome, the food was terrible to say the least - inedible and cold, the waiter arrogant, rude and full of undisguised contempt. I would not recommend this pub to anyone.

Our first & definitely our last. Foods and beer were overated, service was bad/rude.

The Uerige in Düsseldorf is always recommended. We have been coming here for years and enjoy the drinks and delicious food. The atmosphere is special. Very nice service with relaxed sayings. A rustic place where everyone will certainly feel at home.

Very tasty beer. Delicious knuckle.

Their beers are excellent, and the Frankfurter sausage was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is very local and has a nostalgic charm, which adds to the experience. Service is incredibly fast—you don’t have to wait long for your beer. They’ve come up with a practical system that ensures both beer and food are served quickly. Overall, it’s a great spot to stop by for lunch or an afternoon drink with a meal. We definitely recommend it, especially during the daytime!

A truly authentic experience in Düsseldorf that showcases the German lifestyle. The atmosphere is genuine, and the food is definitely worth trying. Highly recommended for those looking to experience local culture and cuisine!

One of staff is aggressive due to load of crowd customers

Typical place, but different from the rest of Düsseldorf. Arrogant, no attention to customers. Only for drinking beer.

Typical city center restaurant with local food. It was delicious, normal. They only accept cash payment 🥲.

This pub was first mentioned back in the early 1600s. This place gets busy early and you just kind of have to grab a table fast when you see one available. Unfortunately we were not able to get a table inside but there is plenty of space outside. The beer is fresh and crisp and they also serve delicious traditional German food if you fancy a bite to eat as well.

Wir haben draußen ein Bier getrunken. Das kam schnell und kühl. In der Sonne der Place to be, wenn man Altbier probieren mag. Die Stimmung ist top.

Absolutely not recommended, no concessions to the dishes! I spoke to a nice gentleman beforehand over the phone, who assured me that the kitchen would be able to cater for smaller guests. But our waiter immediately dismissed this, saying that they didn't have any, just as it was on the menu! Apparently, there was no ketchup either, but strangely enough, they offered currywurst. Our waiter only had "stupid" remarks and came across as rather arrogant! Once and never again!!!!

JH has a real tit. What do such crazy people do? a!!!! Great staff, great food. We've been here so many times and we're always happy to come back. Leave everything as it is. 👍👍👍👍

Schnitzel and fried potatoes are frozen and then deep-fried. It's embarrassing. The knuckle was good.

I haven't tried the food, but the beer is very good and there is a very good atmosphere, plus it is in the center of Dusseldorf. I have seen several comments that they treat you badly if you are a foreigner but they have treated me very well. There are a lot of people and the waiters move quickly, but they understand perfectly and they change the glass until you cover it with the coaster, the menu is also in English. How in most places they prefer that you pay in cash.

Great brewery, traditional Düsseldorf dishes and beer

Bier super lecker, Essen ist in Ordnung - Kellner sehr freundlich bis ich mit EC-Karte zahlen wollte - er hieß es, das nur Bargeld akzeptiert wird und dann ging es auf einmal doch - aber laut Kellner eigentlich erst ab 50 EUR. Lächerlich - und traurig, dass Deutschland immer noch so hinterherhinkt…

Here you can get the delicious Uerige on tap. Food is also highly recommended, portions are ok, prices are a bit high. Unfortunately, there is little choice for non-beer drinkers. You won't find cola or lemonade on the menu. Always a must when visiting the old town!

Tysk med tysk på. Her får du både hjemmebrygget øl og rigtig tysk mad. Der er mange mennesker, der er fart på og stemningen er god.

There was no chance to evaluate either the dishes or the beer, 2 waiters for a crowd of people, that's not enough

Have been yesterday, simply horrible, they don’t have still water , I asked even 2 times to realize this, if I think I had still water in tented camp at Tsavo reserve in Kenya and in the middle of Serengeti I can’t realize how a management can be so rude and stupid Stinky place but price is pretty ok

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

Waiters = absolutely disgraceful

Traditional home brewery in the old town of D'dorf. The knuckles were a blast. Rarely have I had such good knuckles. The meat was extremely tender, the crust was nice and crispy and the taste couldn't have been bettered. Top! Price-performance: good Service a bit moody. But on Ash Wednesday it can be too😅 Ambience: great The Altbier is surprisingly good and drinkable. And even with the first sip! Gladly again!

It might be nice for a beer outside, but eating there is a mistake: the waiters are very disrespectful and the food is very basic.

Colan half raw... good beer but only one kind. Nice atmosphere and service.

We felt at home. Great food, great service and great staff!!! We'll be back. There were five of us from Greece and we were really excited when we realized that the waiter was Greek. Keep it up!!!

We had a great time!! The best and largest knuckle I have ever tasted!! I would like to know how the hell they make the crust that crispy!!

We were there one day in the middle of the carnival and although there weren't many people inside, there was no room for anything on the street. Alexandros treated us brilliantly and explained to us that they had very few things on the menu but that, if it was worth it, they would give us dinner. What we ate was very good, a shame not to be able to try more things. Highly recommended

Good beer, delicious food, very attentive service Price according to the site and quality they offer Perfect quality-price ratio Little variety on the menu Local with many rooms to eat Very fast service You have to be careful to put the coaster on top of the glass if you don't want more beer. Otherwise they keep taking you without asking

Brewery centrally located in the old town. For me, the Uerige is a MUST on every visit to Düsseldorf...

Came here towards the end of the night and was not disappointed. Altbier is not quite as tasty as the previous venue, but it's still good. Loved the atmosphere - lots of character. Service was good. Did not try the food. Warm welcomed and warm exit at the end of the night.

Nice atmosphere and the food was great

Are you racist? This is your place! Do you enjoy being treated like garbage for not being German? Look no further! Want to get kicked out for simply asking, “Can we order here?” Then congratulations—you’ve found the perfect spot. We came to have a few beers with friends, and somehow, the staff managed to turn it into a full-blown confrontation. No explanations, no logic, just pure hostility. It’s almost impressive how quickly they went from waiters to wannabe bouncers. Now, I respect all political beliefs, religious views, and even people who hate their jobs. But if you’re going to be racist, at least be smart about it. Overcharge us, shortchange us—something! But no, these guys decided to be both racist and incompetent. Pick a struggle. So, if you enjoy a side of discrimination with your drink, this is the place for you. If not, I’d suggest going literally anywhere else.

Come da titolo. Locale in stile birreria molto conosciuto (e storico) in zona. Accoglienza distratta a causa della massa di clienti. Locale diviso su varie sale, più o meno ampie, più o meno caratteristiche (con legno & C). Menù basico da birreria con i soliti 3 o 4 piatti forti ( stinco , cotoletta , etc ) Buona la qualità, valido ed abbastanza rapido il servizio. Prezzo medio 30/40 euro a testa. Vale un solo passaggio.

This is the restaurant that ruined my trip to Europe. Without giving me any prior notice, they threatened me to pay in cash and when I told them I didn't have any cash, they told me to go out and get a cash advance, so I wandered around and couldn't do it, so I came back and they said they would pay with a credit card if I added a 10% tip. It's so sad that such an anachronistic restaurant exists in Europe.

Nice atmosphere, but apparently no card payments under 50(!) euros. When we asked for the receipt, we also received dirty looks

We stopped here for a short stop and drank 2 old drinks each. It was okay, the glasses could have been a little fuller. The service was on point, but a please and thank you wouldn't have hurt.

It is quite difficult to find a place, but the beers are very nice and the sausages are also delicious. Curry one is better. The concept is also very fun. You should definitely reserve a day and make a reservation because some of the tables are held until the reservation time.

Very fast service, the old waiter is very cheerful, 0.25 lt original beer 2.85 euro, cash only

The atmosphere in this brewery is great. Tasty Altbier, delicious food and friendly service. You have to go there. Everyone wants to go there.

The home brewery: feels like coming home! The Köbisse always have a casual saying! The food is simply delicious, there is also something delicious for vegetarians. And of course the alto, my favorite alto❤️

I have been to this place a handful of times now, the beer and atmosphere is usually very good but overcrowdedness on weekend is a major issue. The service is very delayed and on my last experience the server tried to charge us extra for 10 beers, he didn’t accept even after mentioning it.

They have a bit of a strong beer, but it has a very good taste and atmosphere 🍻

I decided to stay in Dusseldorf for a few days on my way home from Norway as Dusseldorf airport is a major airline hub . This was pleasant, beautiful, and I had a beer and a tasty traditional pork knuckle dinner. It is full of classic scenes wrought in stained glass windows, comfortable chairs, and the service was polite. I saw that it was primarily full of locals, families and friend groups enjoying an evening. I understand that this is the oldest operating brewery in the city.

Great brewery and beer, food ok

Maybe we’re just not used to it, but this place felt very disorganized. If you’re less than 6, you can’t make a reservation. They tell you to just go there. We did, but it was incredibly chaotic. You have to find a table yourself l, so basically if ‘fight’ with everyone else waiting for any table that is freed up. We also had to wait a very long time (1h +) for our food because of some kitchen mix up. Then at the end we found out we can only pay cash so we had to go to an ATM, although in the about section you see mentioned that you can pay by card. The food and beer were good, but the rest of the stuff kind of ruined it for us.

I visited this place while being on beer tour! 🍺 The outdoor seating at the back is such a cozy and relaxed area, perfect for enjoying their famous Altbier. The beer is smooth, refreshing. Nice experience in the summer!

Ehrlich gesagt der schlimmste Ort in der Altstadt. Das unfreundlichste Personal der Stadt. Aggressiv und ohne Servicekenntnisse. Es gibt viel bessere Orte.

Honestly the worst place in the Alt Stadt. The most unfriendly staff in the city. Aggressive and have no service skills. There are much better places.

This is a place where you continuously drink 250ml of something similar to strong dark beer. The food is also delicious.

Very nice unique brewery! Unfortunately we had no place to eat, only to drink. But the beer was really tasty. Recommended place!

Quaint pub in the old town, very well attended; Drinks and food were still served quickly. Portions are completely sufficient and really tasty! We can only recommend it.

A wonderful beer with its color, smell and foam and a wonderful atmosphere.

Very German, so nice. The gentleman serving was very rude

Very good , enjoy your beer with a very atmospheric environment, the service is incredible

Hearty, authentic, tasty, great ambience, good atmosphere, gladly again. 😁

Were here on a Saturday lunchtime for a two alt. 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. Update January 25: still poorly tapped beer We had to specifically ask twice for a decent tap, which was then fulfilled. Sorry Ueriges, but that doesn't work

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

Probably the best “Alt Bier” in Dusseldorf

Great location right in the city center and on the Rhine. It's a pleasure!

Ambiance is ok, service seems rather annoyed. The portions are okay, too small for my taste for the price

Definitely the most traditional brewery in the city. The beer is much bitterer than the other beers, the menu isn't as big but everything fits together. A must-visit for every stay in Düsseldorf.

Great beer alt beer , must try if you are into it.

It was just like you would imagine a typical old pub to be. Without much fuss... Fast service, beer and the small side dishes were very good! Now I think almost 2.90 is quite expensive for an old one, but of course we will come back

Delicious as always and just missed Lars Stindl today 😁

I only drank a few beers there which were served very quickly and well.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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..

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...

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...

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!!

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

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.

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.

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).

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

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

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?!

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!!!
