Uerige in Düsseldorf

A good pub to get some basics. The Altbier here is very tasty. The German cuisine is also impressive, both in terms of taste and portion size. Recommended, especially for larger groups.

The staff was extremely rude. They treated the entire group very badly. As soon as they saw that we were Italian they treated us very badly. They purposely got an order wrong, made rude comments and insisted on paying in cash. Not recommended especially if you are a foreigner.

The waiters do their job very well There is a very nice atmosphere outside I had Leberwurst The mustard was very good, I loved it Their mini beers are also great Definitely go (07 June 2025, 2 Uerige beers + sausage= 10 Euro)

Nice place to drink beer and chat.

Rustic open-air restaurant. Service is always quick

Incredibly rude service. After sitting down on a bench, we were served in a matter of moments. Two beers were ordered after the statement "I can only pay by card." Without a word, we received two beers and the waitress disappeared to the next customer. Quite odd after being told "pay immediately, please." The waiter then came back and I presented him with my card, only to be told in an annoyed tone, "Cash only!" I referred the gentleman to my statement from a minute and a half earlier that I could only pay by card. I was then asked, "So no beer after all?!" A very odd question when you've heard for the second time not even two seconds ago that the customer obviously doesn't have any cash (or "cash") on them. I actually wanted to introduce a visitor from abroad to some really good German beer. But if something as simple as a card payment fails, I'd rather go to a supermarket and get a box of Alt beer. What a shame.

What's going on? Are you fed up? It's still the best beer in town. BUT, when I have to wait 10 minutes to get a beer, even though it's not busy and the waitresses would rather chat, I have no sympathy. This happened to me three times in one week. The apple spritzer I ordered wasn't brought twice. The glasses are usually not full. It's no fun anymore.

A cult Altbier brewery. Almost a must-see when visiting Düsseldorf.

As a woman alone, you shouldn't go here. The waiters will initially overlook you. And if you ask a friendly question, you run the risk of being treated with absolute rudeness. I can't help it if the staff is sometimes overworked, but basic rules of courtesy should still be observed. Never again.

The waiter was very unfriendly. We waited a long time for the beer.

Absolutely ridiculous place. They serve stale Altbier and simply insult you. When the waiter behind the bar calls a customer ugly and an idiot, it's obviously highly professional. Without having high standards, you can't really be any more expansive.

Very unfriendly staff. (At least the Hosen Hell was delicious)

We walked in. Nobody seemed interested in us. Then there were some stupid comments from the staff behind the counter. It's not a visit you'd ever try twice!

Extremely unfriendly and unprofessional staff

Good beer A very interesting place I recommend a visit 👍

Their beers and tank top are great

Even though it's an institution in Düsseldorf... the schnitzel really doesn't deserve more than three stars in my opinion. It was relatively dry, tasted like it came from a deep fryer, and despite being "Viennese style," the cranberries were missing, and the fried potatoes didn't impress me either. The service was simply surly.

Decent food, but the waiter, as soon as he sat us down at a table, asked us, "Shall I bring you a variety until you order?" We replied positively and a €95 dish arrived without us being informed of the price in advance, good for him, he agreed to take it back!

An Alt or two or three kund ne Uerrywurst is mandatory

Beer is fantastic and so is the ambience.

I contacted the brewery's manager with a complaint, but received no response. Therefore, this public review is now available. In the past, I've repeatedly been annoyed by the waiters' complacency in "cheating" customers. Recently, I ordered a Hosen-Helles and paid €20. I was given €15 in change as a matter of course. I was surprised by the hefty price, but didn't question it at the time because I was engaged in a conversation. Later, I realized that the beer only cost €3.95. So, the waiter naturally took the rest as a tip. In other cases, the change was given incorrectly (too little). Sometimes only €0.50 or €1.00, but in one brazen case, a waiter tried to give €10 when he only wanted to refund a €20 payment. He would have gotten away with it if I hadn't complained. It's no fun always having to pay attention to this or having to argue about it (it's a joke, anyway!). I'm happy to tip for good service and friendliness. Personally, I don't think this behavior is acceptable, considering it could be such a nice place... Plus, some of the glasses are really badly poured. That happens at other breweries too, so it's still not acceptable.

Πολύ μέτριο φαγητό,το διαλέξαμε για την ωραία του τοποθεσία,αλλά απογοητεύτηκαμε.Το χοιρινό ρολό δεν ήταν φρέσκομαγειρεμενο,έπλεε στη σάλτσα.... και η πατατοσαλάτα του σαν κατάπλασμα.Το μόνο νόστιμο ήταν το λουκάνικο με κάρυ.

Uerige in Düsseldorf – Pure Brewery Enjoyment Fresh, home-brewed Altbier and hearty brewery cuisine – Uerige offers the perfect combination! The currywurst is a spicy snack, and the goulash is hearty and aromatic. When the weather's nice, the outdoor area with standing tables is ideal for enjoying the lively hustle and bustle of the old town – an Altbier in hand, good company, and true Düsseldorf flair. Cheers! 🍻 Uerige stands for a true brewery experience, outstanding Altbier, and down-to-earth cuisine. If you want to experience a relaxed atmosphere and Düsseldorf tradition, this is the place for you!

Classic Düsseldorf beer hall! There are two spaces! Low tables with benches for sitting and high tables for listening or high stools! The waiters hand out beers and as soon as they see you're finishing your beer, they give you another one and write down your consumption on the coaster! It was 19.70 euros (four beers and the sausages). We gave them a 20-euro bill (they only accept cash), they thanked us and didn't bring any change!

The food was average, and the waiters were not very nice. Beer was good. Also you can not pay by card.

Good quality food, excellent beer, service is fast and friendly. A wonderful place to hide inside on a hot day.

I love this place and its central location

Great atmosphere and awesome place to have some local food and beer

The food and beer tasted good. The service was unfriendly: small requests were not possible; inflexible (e.g. without red cabbage and more spaetzle). Unfriendly answer: “do you want to or not?” and at the end the waiter asked me if I didn't want to tip and even recommended 10% directly (I felt forced). He was quite annoyed when I said politely: “I'm sorry, but the service wasn't good”. Tipping is voluntary and only if the service is good. I was disappointed. You try to show your family the city and the traditions of Düsseldorf... unfortunately it was a bad experience. I recommend: just drink beer outside and you'll be fine

A nice traditional brewery. The waiters are a blow in themselves, but I think they're great! On summer days it feels like the whole of Düsseldorf and the surrounding area meets in front of the Uerigen 😅

One of the fun things to do in Düsseldorf is to drink Altbier. I always drink here or at Schumacher. All of the shops check the number of glasses consumed by drawing a line on the coaster. I tend to end up drinking too much before I know it, so I always make sure I'm hungry so I can drink a lot. This time I stayed a little too long and got completely drunk.

Charged us more than €20 for the water we had together with our beer. What a joke. Avoid.

Haben keine vernünftige Getränke keine Cola keine Fanta nur fasbrause und Apfelschorle und alkoholfreies außerdem haben die nur wasser

Super inflexible and unsuitable for vegans or people with intolerances. And glasses are not completely filled.

Always just beautiful and always worth a detour.

The food is very good and the beer is delicious. The only detail that we didn't like at all is that they made us pay in cash, which we hardly had with us, the waiter told us to go to the ATM. A disappointment that today they do not accept card payments and that we had drinks and food and the amount was not a small amount.

Great atmosphere, good beer, delicious food, staff super nice and quick

There's no quicker way to bring beer to the table. Top!

Essen war in Ordnung, Kellner leider nicht. Service sieht anders aus, Kellner war ziemlich unfreundlich. Wir kamen uns überhaupt nicht willkommen vor.

Waiter very unfriendly, so no tip. Why can't you always be friendly? Too bad

Delicious food and friendly service!

excellent atmosphere and excellent beer

We had heard great things about this place, and after visiting family in Paderborn we spent 2 days in Düsseldorf and just had to check it out! Thought it was such a cool vibe throughout. I don't drink alcohol, but my wife, brother and sister in law took advantage of some super quick service for their beers. Soft drinks are at a minimum (water or apple juice) but I'd 100% recommend the apple juice as it really was nice. Really loved looking around and I understand why the place is so big as we called back in on the evening and it was PACKED! Staff are friendly and happy honestly you're not waiting long for anything, even when jam packed.

Extrem negative Erfahrung aufgrund von unfreundlicher Bedienung draußen, die sich eigenständig Trinkgeld einbehält… Trotz zentraler Position würde ich ein anderes Brauhaus bevorzugen.

Het is een echt Brauhaus !! Traditioneel ingericht. Hier wordt Altbier geschonken. De kelners zijn allemaal speciaal. De keuken is gutbürgerlich en deftig. Zeer gezellig.

Traditional house that doesn't actually need any evaluation. Despite it. Our Köbbes on Friday was super friendly. Unfortunately it was different on Saturday and there was a rough discussion with our Spanish neighbors. They now probably have a bad impression of Düsseldorf hospitality…

Delicious Altbier with a very tasty knuckle in a cozy atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

Good Alt craft beer, speed and attention. Somewhat basic sausages but good

A must visit! I love it… typical tavern with a great atmosphere, good beer and good food. We ate knuckle of 10

Nice environment but rude and rude service. Absolutely avoid. It feels uncomfortable all the time. Try something else downtown.

The Köbes is a unique and extremely quick-witted fellow who reigns unchallenged in breweries and pubs" ...that's what I've been used to since my youth and enjoy cozy evenings in the pubs in my home town of Düsseldorf. Unfortunately, what we had to experience on April 5, 25 in the Uerige was very unpleasant. After the first Köbes (he didn't deserve the term) only very reluctantly fulfilled his task of bringing beer, his Temporary successor Dennis (the name says it all) completely overstepped the mark and took the Uerige Altbier that had already been served off the table, just because we had “cheekly” asked for a second cover. Unbelievable and not particularly conducive to the mood on my birthday evening. That's enough for us for the next one or two years in the Uerige, in the hope of better and real Köbesse who ideally enjoy doing their job as usual... Fortunately, it still works in other home breweries in Düsseldorf. I recommend “Dennis” a new job at the Düsseldorf public order office, where he would probably thrive in his job, and perhaps his colleagues would be better off retiring….

There's always something going on here, you can meet nice people and the Köbes always has a tray with full glasses ;-) very nice

Came here and was excited about the atmosphere. Ordered two 3.95€ beers and was told we could only pay cash, then proceeded to not give us change on 8€. I know its sounds petty, but as unfriendly as the guy was, he doesn’t deserve 0.10€

Even if it is always an experience, this time it was a very modest one and the choice of words is pleasantly worded and does not correspond to the facts. We ordered two drinks and were already standing at the counter and I thought the man was just pouring some more into a few glasses and ours would be taken into account too. To err is human, but at that moment I didn't expect it, the sentence: oh, can we get something else? was immediately dismissed with the words: don't bother, they're full enough! More full of foam than the contents of the delicious drink, which clouded my sense of taste and also diminished my experience. Conclusion of the visit Crazy to the power of 10. As a guest, I am happy to tip well for good quality and service and pay the value of the goods, none of which agreed here.

Incredibly bad!! Never experienced such unfriendly staff. You are loudly insulted across several tables because you order something other than beer. You won't even be asked if you want to eat something. Autocratic waiter who really treats the guests badly, so that several tables get up and leave.

We were there yesterday with the company. It's okay that the waitresses aren't friendly. A meal was forgotten, no sorry or anything like that. The carrot vegetable still had the plastic packaging in it. No sorry or a beer on the house or anything like that. A dessert to go with it Brauhaus would be nice, e.g. red groats. The only alcohol-free option is water or apple spritzer. As a driver, a classic Cola would be wonderful. My recommendation: a beer outside at the bar table: wonderful. But not anymore.

Cash only. Sorry, how can you 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.

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.

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

Very tasty beer. Delicious knuckle.

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!

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!

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. 👍👍👍👍

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.

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

Great brewery, traditional Düsseldorf dishes and beer

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!

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…

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

Waiters = absolutely disgraceful

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

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

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.

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!!

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

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

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.

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.

Nice atmosphere and the food was great

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.
