Watzke Brauereiausschank Am Ring in Dresden

We sat with a small group for dinner. It was cozy and atmospheric. Beer and schnapps of two types 👍💪)) But the wives did not like the dish - Risotto. For this -1*.

The service was quick, reliable and always had a good word to say. The ambience is good and the beer garden is a good alternative to sitting outside in warm times. The food (I had crispy knuckle) was very good, rich and really crispy. There is a 1 point deduction for the rather small portion of the Rostbrätl (here you should reconsider the relationship to the price). The half duck from the tube was also very good. The beer is something different. Either you like it or you don't, everyone has to decide for themselves. All in all, a very good and recommendable restaurant visit in the city center of Dresden.

Very nice service. Dog friendly. The food is down-to-earth and very tasty. Really good beer.

It was quite busy on Good Friday. Luckily we had reservations. We liked the humorous service. The food tasted very good. We had beef roulades and goulash. There are certainly nicer breweries, but the most important thing, namely the food and the beer, were good.

Friendly service, food is good 😊 you just need to work on the ambience. Then the table also looks inviting.

If you want something rustic you have to stop here because you are welcome there. Ambiance fits. Service as it should be. Food suits the house perfectly. And the beer... We felt really comfortable and can only recommend this place.

Local produce class and home brewed beers

Very friendly and fast staff, the colleagues in the branch (sausage kitchen) next door can take an example.

Delicious cold smoked platter, great beers and matching spirits, always tip to reserve in advance

First of all: we often and usually enjoy going to the Watzke. However, yesterday - April 9th ​​- I was disappointed and a little angry. My meal had very few fried potatoes, a friend at the table had the same food and three times as much on his plate... - It could happen. But what doesn't work: the waiter came to the table again, asked if everything was okay - when I complained, he simply said "Write a Google review" In my opinion, this is not an appropriate reaction as a service person! So here is the desired rating... PS: his Slovakian "expert tip" about football wasn't right either! ;)

Delicious food, but not very decorative and some dishes very sparse, good selection of beer. For larger groups, you have to expect a significantly longer waiting time. Ideally, you should check your order again so that everyone involved gets something and the right food. If you want to order the beer of the month, you should do so at the beginning of the month.

Good home-cooked food, great home-made beer, quick service.

Simply great. And the beer is simply great. 👍 👏 Were with you again today on August 6th, 2021. We are from Leipzig, and when we come to Dresden, you are the first address. Absolutely delicious food, we were never disappointed and delicious beer, and despite the current stress due to the rush of customers, always friendly staff. So from us comes a “keep it up” and a “we’ll come back to you”. See you soon. 👍👍👍

Yes, it's great. So rustic and sooo delicious...of course especially Watzke beer...great location...definitely order....service would be incorporated...but super nice...well done...thank you

Top store highly recommended You have to know

What a great location. Very good beer, very good food. I'd love to come by again.

Herzlichen Dank dem gesamten Team des Ballhauses Watzke Dresden für den umsichtigen schnellen und effizienten Service zu unserem 3 tägigen Champagnetango Marathon. Ein wunderbarer Ballsaal in bester Lage, sehr gute Speisen, mehr als freundliches Personal mit Freude an der Arbeit, sehr ,kompetent alle Wünsche wurden erfüllt, wir kommen sehr gern wieder !Von der Geschäftsleitung über Küchenchef Restaurantleiter bis zum Azubi sagen wir herzlichen Dank für alles! www3x4tango.de

We have been guests at Watzke am Ring for many years. Unfortunately, due to the frequent personnel carousel, the “family” atmosphere has fallen by the wayside. Mr. Pitsaris stands out negatively. We as guests feel that he radiates restlessness with his hectic pace. We also don't think it's right to reprimand colleagues in front of guests. On March 6th, 2025 we experienced the following situation: We wanted to order something else. Mr. Pitsaris walked past our table and ignored the hand signal. On his way back we apologized to him. Then he said: I'll come right away. He took orders from several tables, just not from us. Apparently it took the signal of our departure for Mr. Pitsaris to finally notice us after ignoring us for several minutes. We're not used to this kind of disinterest at Watzke.

It's bad that the employees who still stick to their guns are being exploited by opening even more tables outside, even though there are no staff available. Since we have been regular guests for many years, we can already assess one thing or another. Maybe the employer should not only see the profit, but also the manpower behind it and the resulting loss of service. Too bad...

Nice waiter, but above all, delicious food. I recommend chicken in bacon with pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula and mozzarella balls. Everything was served quickly and nicely.

A resounding yes for a recommendation! Cozy restaurant, friendly and efficient staff (despite the full shop) and good food. What more could you want? The only things that could be improved for me were the dips and the side salad on the plate. They tasted like they were “fresh” from the can. Otherwise 👍.

We had a great team evening at Watzke! Very cozy atmosphere, courteous service and great food! We would celebrate here again and again. Simply great.

really delicious food, great and humorous service. - clear recommendation!

Great local. Table for 3 people was pre-ordered. Great service without waiting (Monday evening), fast service, delicious food, friendly staff. A little loud, but bearable.

Service: was pretty unfriendly. Drinks: Fanta was like yellow water, no taste, no sparkle. They say the problem is known, but nothing can be done about it. How about ask any other restaurant in the planet how they do it!! Beer a bit flat Food: was ok but on the pricey side.

Wir hatten vorbestellt, war auch gut so. Wir bekamen einen schönen Tisch in einer gemütlichen Ecke. Der Service war hervorragend, das Essen sehr lecker.

Those who like unfiltered beer and German food should turn off the main stream from Prager Strasse to Altmarkt and stop for lunch to the left of the Galerie entrance. It is recommended to book in advance in the evening

Were warmly welcomed by the waiter (and later had a small talk about his Greek homeland). We just wanted to try our own beer, which was good, but we also had to have the salmon if we were a little hungry. It was homemade and very good, but the bread that went with it was to die for. Overall a good restaurant with friendly service...

Unfortunately, my knuckle was incredibly dry. The skin hard. I told the waiter this. He just said he would pass it on to the kitchen. The problem remains. Very unfortunate.

The food was very good in terms of taste and quantity, as was the beer. The nice and attentive waiter deserves special mention!

Food was solid and tasty, service team was friendly, a visit is worth it.

Sehr nette Bedienung, sehr gutes Essen, Nachtisch sehr lecker. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Regionale Küche von sehr guter Qualität zu absolut fairen Preisen begleitet von sehr köstlichem Bier aus der hauseigenen Brauerei. Ausgezeichneter Service. Auch wenn die Tische im Eingangsbereich nicht ganz so gemütlich sind wie im übrigen Restaurant, wurden unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, sodass wir sehr gern wiederkommen würden.

Unser Essen im Watzke am Ring am 2. Weihnachtsfeiertag war sehr gut. Wir können die Speisen, das Preis- und Leistungsverhältnis sowie das Servicepersonal sehr empfehlen. Vielen Dank für den angenehmen Nachmittag.

Es hat gut funktioniert mit der Reservierung. Das Essen war sehr lecker.

War wie immer sehr gut Trotz sehr guter Auslastung hatte man alles gut im Griff

Sehr nette Bedienung, das Essen war super lecker und das Bier super ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good menu with friendly and quick service.

Tolles Bier, toller Kellner, gutes Essen Wie immer sehr gut

Visited for the first time. I already knew the WATZKE right next door, but unfortunately it was already fully booked. So with a lot of luck we got a place for dinner here. First impression: wow, you can feel comfortable here. We took a seat, took in the great atmosphere, and were served delicious food and beer. Sympathetic and extremely friendly staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we felt wonderfully looked after. Keep it up, we will definitely be happy to come back👍

We're there once a month and it's been consistently good for over a year. The weak phase when eating is over, it is clearly recommended. However, the price of the food is too high. The service is otherwise very nice and pleasantly relaxed, just as the guest would like. If there are people, like in the last reviews, who think they are something better and Count Koks personally, they should be ignored, especially since they will probably only go there once and never again...

On my first visit, they gave me two of what I ordered and then I ordered one, and they got angry and said you ordered two... This time, I thought they wouldn't do that, so I went and got ribs without sauce. It clearly says barbecue sauce on the menu, but I asked if they gave me sauce, so I looked at the dipping sauce. It's called white barbecue sauce haha. Looking at the picture of someone else eating it, there was a lot of sauce..^^~

Today, I had some truly awful, burnt ribs. They didn’t provide any barbecue sauce, so I asked for some, only to be handed mayonnaise with the explanation, “It’s white barbecue sauce, just eat it.” The staff was extremely rude from start to finish. I would not recommend anyone go there.

Traditional restaurant, very cozy and comfortably furnished. The prices are very reasonable. We liked our food very much and it was plentiful, and the way it was presented on the plate looked very good. The large beer selection leaves nothing to be desired, I had the beer of the month for November. We will definitely come back again 😃👍

The reservation using the phone number on the homepage was a failure, no one on site knew anything and even showing the number only elicited the remark from the young lady that it wasn't her phone number. We were already annoyed and told her that we couldn't help it if the company presented itself like that. We still got a table, which is a credit to them - even though I noticed the annoyed expression and heard the rambling "choleric" very well. Not like that, miss! The food and beer made up for it, which was absolutely great. For the annoyance and the fact that we were constantly called by the slightly confused waiter, we deducted one star. That's more than fair.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden, besonders mit dem (griechischen) Kellner

A nice service. Enjoy your meal. But the beer is great!!!!!

Food was good but someone pissed under the sink

Personal immer super drauf, sehr entspannt und aufmerksam. Auf ein Bier muss man nicht lange warten. Essen geschmacklich tadellos, gute Brauhausküche, Portionen sind aber gefühlt mit den Jahren kleiner geworden. Sei's drum, wir sind satt geworden und kommen wieder. Man kann hier auch mal nur auf ein Bierchen einkehren und wird nicht schief angeguckt, wenn man kein Essen bestellt. Das ist selten so.

Apparently, these days the staff can take whatever they want and simply insult the paying (or willing to pay) (regular!) guest and insult them. There is no other way to explain the behavior of the staff in an almost empty location. When Mr. Unger was still in charge, one phone call would have been enough and it would have been the gentleman in question's last day at work, staff shortage or not, but he would not have tolerated such disrespectful behavior towards a guest.

In addition to the house-made beer and the solid selection of the menu, the quality of my favorite dish "Rostbrätel", see also photo, is always very good! Top recommendation for Rostbrätel - I would love to come back. Thank you also for the attentive service.

Great food, homemade top beer and regional. Keep it up

A good german brewery. Next to good beer, very surprisingly the food was very tasty too.

Super zarte Ripple und perfekte Sauce dazu; das Bier dazu genau passend.

nette Bedienung, wie schon so oft bei euch, einen schönen Abend mit Freunden verbracht Gerne wieder

As traditional as you can get for German food and drink. No more, no less!

German restaurant serving a wide variety of dishes for very reasonable prices. We enjoyed restaurant so much we went back a second time! You can eat outside under cover or inside if colder. Menu is also in English and the staff were willing to help. Apart from the excellent food, the restaurant has excellent beer. The venue is about 5 minutes walk from tram stop and the shopping centre.

Very good food! I recommend it to everyone!! 😀 Nice service.

Wir können es sehr Empfehlen. Das Essen war super spitze. Auch der Kellner war sehr freundlich. Also wir waren begeistert.

Top Bewirtung und Essen ! Absolut akzeptable Wartezeit! Gerne wieder....

Köstliches Monatsbier, leckere Speisen und freundliche Bedienung, hier kommen wir immer wieder gern her.

Sehr guter Service, freundlich, Essen sehr gut, Preis- Leistungsverhältnis gut, ich kann diese Gaststätte nur weiter empfehlen, Reservierung ist empfehlenswert. MfG L. Köhler

Fast service, food was also delicious, plus delicious Altpieschener.

Today I had a birthday dinner with my sister and my husband and it was very good. The food was super tasty 😋 keep it up and I will recommend you

Süffiges Monatsbier, leckere Speisen und freundliche Bedienung - da kehrt man gern ein!

Stopped by this location as the sausage place next door was closed unfortunately due to Sunday. Overall pretty happy with the sausage (ordered veal sausage). Good service and tons of patio seating.

Delicious and highly recommended Ambience great Service great 💯 Always happy again😋

We were there on August 30, 2024. Ate a pork neck steak there. It's an art to fry or grill the thing like this. No thanks - that was it for us with Watzke.

We are here for the second time, it is a wonderful atmosphere with a very good range of food and perfect service staff, highly recommended!!!

Dresden's best sausage specialties are available at Watzke. Whenever I'm in Dresden I visit one of the different locations for a veal bratwurst and a tasty Pilsner. Friendly service, attractive changing monthly tickets for beer and sausages, good food quality and fairly reasonable prices make Watzke a recommendation.

Thanks to the team for the atmospheric afternoon with Carly Peran! We didn't know the musician before and were thrilled by his songs! Gladly again, maybe in the main building!? Hans

Unfortunately, the evening in this restaurant was a complete failure. Right at the beginning the waiter spilled a wheat beer on one of my friends. Sure, no one does this on purpose and it can happen. However, as a guest you expect the restaurant to be helpful - none of it. Neither drink nor food was on the house. I find that very weak! In addition, the food was rather average and the daily special “beef steak” was very dry and carelessly prepared. We won't eat there again

Leider war der letzte Besuch nicht so schön.Das Essen hat geschmeckt, aber es war nur lauwarm.Die beiden Kellner waren völlig überfordert und waren auch etwas genervt.Die Tische wurden nicht zeitnah abgeräumt,was gerade im Außenbereich keinen guten Eindruck hinterlässt und auch nicht zum verweilen einlädt.Als Stammgäste sind wir anderen Service gewohnt.

The best beer in Dresden, excellent food and service.

Wir haben uns spontan mit Freunden getroffen und einen Tisch vorab reserviert. Als wir angekommen sind, wusste man allerdings nichts von einer Reservierung, was schade war. Uns wurde trotz der hohen Temperaturen ein Tisch innen vorgeschlagen, den wir nach kurzer Zeit wechselten, weil es im Inneren viel zu stickig war. Draußen bediente uns ein fast schon aufdringliche Kellner, der bei kleinen Anfragen oder Änderungswünsche bei den Speisen die Augen rollte. Das Essen und die Getränke kamen schnell und es hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Besagter Kellner fragte schon fast penetrant, ob wir noch etwas bestellen wollen. Uns kam es so vor, als würde er uns schnellstmöglich loswerden, damit er Platz für neue Gäste hat, die vielleicht mehr bezahlten als wir. Als wir die Rechnung zahlten, fiel das Trinkgeld natürlich entsprechend niedrig aus. Er verabschiedete sich nicht und schüttelte im Weggehen den Kopf. Ein wirklich unprofessionelles Verhalten! Wir alle, die am Tisch gesessen haben, sind gelernte Gastronomen und wir waren sprachlos. Unseren Abend haben wir dann in einem anderem Restaurant ausklingen lassen. Leider war es nach langer Zeit der erste und auch letzte Besuch im Watzke.

Por azares del destino visitamos Dresden por un par de horas y como nos dio hambre nos metimos en lo más cerca que encontramos, la sorpresa fue un lugar bonito y limpio, con una carta variada, menú de niños, precios medio-alto pero la comida estuvo bien, lo mejor fue la atención de un mesero griego que tuvimos que hasta hablaba español, buenas cervezas!

Good food - the visit was crowned by a very friendly and funny waiter.

The location is brilliant. Next to the golden rider 😉 Food great. Potato baked with vegetables is filling, I definitely recommend the wheat beer.

Es war wieder ein Erlebnis, leckeres Essen, super Bedienung. Jederzeit gern wieder

The beer is delicious. Food is expensive and the portions could be from the children's menu.

Delicious beer, friendly staff.

Die Wurst schmeckte sehr gut, der Kartoffelsalat ebenfalls. Und natürlich ausgezeichnetes Bier. Alles bestens, so wie man es sich von einem Biergarten wünscht. Wir haben den netten Abend hier genossen.

We usually just have a drink when we are in Dresden, but the food definitely tastes very good and looks very appetizing.

Der Kellner hatte vom Restaurant keine Ahnung, weder von der Speisekarte noch ob es WLAN gibt. Er hat immer gesagt, er hat keine Ahnung.

I just ordered Watzke's sausage salad. It is the best sausage salad my wife has ever eaten.

Food was delicious; especially the solyanka. The beer tasted good and the staff was very friendly. We would be happy to come back the next time we visit Dresden.

Service quick and friendly. A large selection of delicious dishes and no long waiting times despite the increased number of guests. We will be back.

Almost only meat dishes, if something vegetarian, then sweet dishes or one or two other options. Not particularly varied :(

it is delicious! And what kind of person is the employee🪑😁 It was so bad👍 (I was so happy~~ Jolly, I rolled my eyes and fainted while crying~><) Only Chingchaengchong is not happy🥳 I'm going to go to the mountain~😀 I'm begging you to take care of me. I'm crying. I'm late. I'll handle it all. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so angry. I said, okay, that's what I did when I first came in. ~~~10🪺🥰 Hangungings, don’t worry❤️💋❤️ I'm so happy♥️ It's the best!

The food is really delicious. But the employee is racist. They were unfriendly from the moment I first took my order, and when I asked for more dishes, they rolled their eyes and made an expression of disgust. The dishes aren't even free; you have to pay 1 euro for each one. And the staff took care of all the other customers' work and delivered the dishes very late. At the end, when I was paying the bill, I felt bad, but out of courtesy, I said “halo~”, and the employee said, “Why did you say halo?” “That’s something you only say when you first meet.” They started an argument for no reason. It was a very unpleasant meal😄

From the moment we came in, the staff was very racist and took our orders in an unpleasant way. I tried to correct it because they added something we didn't order. However, the staff didn't even try to listen to us properly and thought we didn't understand. Suddenly, he started explaining the menu as if he was teaching. So we said that's not what we ordered on the menu. But the employee's voice got louder, his expression got worse, and he didn't apologize. I called to pay, but they still didn't come, so I went there myself. Since I know where you sat, I loudly told you to wait again. What did I do wrong? It's embarrassing. But the staff didn't come right away and went to another table to chat and were very nervous and came late...;; Then, when I came to pay and said hello, the employee asked me why I was saying hello so much and instructed me. We need to pay quickly and take the bus, but why is the staff talking so much and being so rude? Anyway, I felt so bad, don't go.

Always satisfied at the Watzke brewery. I would now describe myself as a regular customer and I haven't been disappointed in any way so far.

Immer wieder schön, tolles Personal, Bier vom Feinsten!

We always like coming here when we are in Dresden. The food tastes good and the service is friendly. Deduction for the cleanliness of the toilets.

I like to stop at Watzke when I'm in Dresden

There were two of us! We got there minutes after half past ten and got the answer that we were late - because of TWO minutes. Not possible - arrogant and unfriendly in contrast to the lunch staff

One of my regular destinations in beautiful Dresden for years. Beer, food, staff and location simply great!

Great, food delicious, staff very friendly. The atmosphere is super nice.

Vielen Dank für die gute Betreuung an einem schönen Sommerabend!

Lecker Essen, super Bier, verschiedene Sorten, sympathischer Service!
