Watzke Brauereiausschank Am Ring in Dresden

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...

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 😃👍

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.

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

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. 👍👍👍

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Local produce class and home brewed beers

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 :(

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.

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😄

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!

Immer wieder schön, tolles Personal, Bier vom Feinsten!

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.

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!

For me, this is a "must have" place in Dresden. A restaurant brewery with delicious beer that can be ordered in the form of a tasting allowing you to choose the beer you like the most. In addition, a particularly interesting item on the menu is Monat Wurst, a different original wurst every month. In addition, it's neat, clean and very nice service. I recommend!

Rude and racist. No wonder why Höcke feels comfortable there.

The service staff was pretty harsh to us. I didn't feel very welcome as a consumer. Another couple who asked for a table in English were simply turned away on the grounds that everything was fully booked, even though we had just gotten up and there were other free tables. I couldn't understand it and I didn't feel comfortable.

Rustic brewpubs with tasty beer. Unfortunately there was a long wait for a drink.

Nice restaurant with delicious Saxon cuisine and good beer. The menu is quite unusual, there are the classics but also some in-house creations that definitely sound very interesting. During the week there are theme days with changing dishes. There are snacks, starters, hot and cold dishes, as well as some from the in-house smokehouse. We ordered beef tongue which was very good. Reordering the side dishes was no problem at all and we were well advised. The small minus point is the vegetables. There are only peas that not everyone tolerates well. The salad dressing is rather fruity, which is not for everyone. Personally, I enjoyed it very much. The unfiltered beer really surprised me, it was really good 👍. The restaurant inside is beautifully and comfortably furnished. There are plenty of tables and parasols outside. The employees are very attentive, friendly and quick. The prices are a bit high but I found the quality of the food to be very good and the portions were nice and big. I would recommend the restaurant at any time.

Such good beer in Dresden and there is also good food cheaply for all customers in the center of Dresden. The employees are all very polite and nice. Very convenient for all holidaymakers and visitors by bus and tram

Nice and friendly service delicious food super tasty home-brewed beer; There are always 2 types and then there is a monthly beer every month great outdoor area If I want to drink beer in Dresden, this is the first place for me.

Beautiful brewery between the Prager Straße shopping street and the old town. Delicious food at fair prices. Monthly changing beer specialties from our own brewery and matching dishes from our own butcher's shop. The service is great.

Very good beer and food, modern brewery

Super delicious food and very nice waiters 😊

Excellent choice of 3 of there own craft beer on, food was very nice, staff were friendly and helpful and spoke very good English,

It may not be extraordinary, but it's worth a visit. Tasty dinner, beer too. It's nice to be able to order three very small beers. The service was so kind and strict.

Super Bedienung, Essen war Spitze. Es war ein gemütlicher Abend

2nd stop on the Watzketour was spent here, after starting in the sausage kitchen next door. After changing stations, a hop topedo was just the thing to regain strength for the rest of the day. Both schnapps and beer are very tasty and digestible.

My first evening at Watzke is coming to an end. There is a very nice atmosphere there. The price-performance ratio is absolutely top. The menu is suitable for everyone. Vegan, vegetarian or traditional, it's all there. The service is absolutely great. Thanks to Mr. Schmidt for allowing us women to stay seated for so long. I'll definitely come back.

The place is cozy and the athmosphere is relaxing. Five stars for the young waitress who was so sweet and professional at the same time.

Extremely kind and endlessly lovable Sofia. I recommend!

Top address for local beer in Dresden. If you like breweries, this is the place for you. Typical dishes with beer and monthly specials as well as cheerful staff round off the experience. Highly recommended 👍 We like to come here often, but today I was very disappointed with the food. The beef ribs we ordered for €30.90 turned out to be 75% fat and bones. And I know ribs, but they were never worth the price. A pity.

Nice shop, fine beers and hearty food.

Very nice, fast service and good food. Super highly recommended.

The food was perfect, also the beer, the service on the other hand…I traveled a lot and it was the first restaurant I ever been in that they charged us 2€ per plate each. When we were paying we asked if we can have a box to go. The waiter then asked “do you want to leave a tip?” when we said no, he stopped talking to us and never brought a box…

Good beer, good food and a waiter who was in a good mood, that's all you need for a nice evening.

Pretty too much to wait, bier was quite good. A toilet could be better.

Abendessen an einem Mittwoch im März. Es ist Schnitzeltag und ich bestelle auch das Aktionsangebot - ein Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln und einem 0.3 L Bier (18,90 €). Ein "normales" Schnitzel kostet 17,90 € und gibt es laut Karte mit Bohnen und Bratkartoffeln mit Speck. Weiterhin bestellten wir die Haxenfleischpfanne. Wir spekulierten in der Wartezeit etwas, ob das Schnitzel in der Aktion und "normal" Unterschiede hat. Und tatsächlich lag auf dem "Aktions"-Teller etwas einsam ein Schnitzel, eine kleine Handvoll Bratkartoffeln ohne erkennbaren Speck und etwas Grünzeug. Wir halten das für Preis-Hascherei....oder sowas ähnliches. Als ob sich die wirtschaftliche Lage der Brauhauskette an ein paar Bohnen und Bratkartoffeln festmachen würde. Wir fanden das dreist. Und kontraproduktiv! Gefühlt unterscheidet sich auch die Haxenfleischpfanne in der Menge zwischen den Standorten in Dresden. Das Monatsbier schmeckte, das Ambiente passt und der Service war aufmerksam und nett. Aufgrund der Preis-Hascherei bei den Aktions-Angeboten werde ich wohl erstmal nicht mehr Gast sein.

You can eat very well here. The service was very good, friendly and always available. The food was tasty at good prices. The only small disadvantage is that the tables are very close together. Still highly recommended.

Eating and drinking very tasty. We were treated very friendly and would definitely like to come back again.

Friendly, great atmosphere, nice service and very tasty food.

The food was incredibly delicious, the atmosphere was great, the service was absolutely competent and friendly, not to mention the beer. The food was at the table very quickly and the prices were absolutely reasonable. 11 out of 10 points! 😉

Very good beer and good food at reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Any time.

For lunch at Watzke. The menus are all very similar overall, but there are still differences between the individual restaurants, for example in the weekday offers. Good home cooking with homemade sausage. Nothing can go wrong. Great concept. The service was super friendly, something that doesn't happen often anymore. 👍 Food arrived quickly and was of good quality. The white sausage was one of the best I have ever eaten outside of Bavaria. But, sorry, the mustard is old. Consistency too thin and tastes like honey? You'd better buy it. Otherwise everything was fine for me. Clear recommendation.

Das Bier ist richtig gut. Monantsbier März 2024 genau meins. Auch das Essen ist passend zum Bier sehr lecker. Die Watzke-Restaurants sind alle uneinges chränkt zu empfehlen.

Beer of the month and pork knuckle... a dream - always delicious 😋 It's a shame that you can't get this on the main street anymore

Herzlichen Dank an Frau Rudolf. Sehr freundlich! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Mein zartes Hähnchen auf Süsskartoffelstampf war hervorragend und das Altpieschener sowieso.

Der Service war super. Aufnahme der Getränkebestellung super schnell. Auch das Servieren des Essens ging zügig.

Leckeres Essen, guter Service, ordentliches Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis.

Tolle Biere + passendes Essen. Schnelles und aufmerksames Personal.
