My friend and I had a lovely lunch here today after spending about two hours enjoying the Miniatur Wunderland not far away. Good service (what? yes!) from an attentive waitress who helped with our orders, brought us beer and food and was amazingly swift with the check. She was even able to split it across two credit cards. Yes! I've been craving currywurst for some reason and so that's what I had for lunch. A nice sized sausage with a spicy sauce and a big serving of fries. It perfectly satisfied my craving. And the delicious lager with it? Ja! Free wifi worked well as we tried to work out what we'd do next in this city. [Review 12056 overall, 1839 of 2019.] read more

This restaurant was a short walk from our hotel, so we stopped in for dinner. The place was crowded, but we were seated upstairs right away. We were also very happy that both the hostess and waiter spoke English exceedingly well. I got the schweinshaxe (roast pork knuckle) and my friend got a fish dish. The potato dumpling served with the pork was probably the best I'd had in Germany, but the pork at the Schneider (Weisses) Brauhaus was much better. Prices were reasonable, the establishment is roomy, and we sat at a table for two (which is rare in some places). Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Went there for lunch with some colleagues and had the Tiki Burger with baked potatoes and a coke light. The meal arrived quickly in under 10 minutes. The Burger was good but not in my top 10 and the baked potatoes could be a little bit more crispy. The price for the meal and one drink was 12 Euro and they allow to split the bill. read more

We went to Brauhaus Joh. Albrecht with four other guests for their last night in Hamburg and we wanted them to taste German dishes. We booked a table for 9pm. They took a while to take our order but the dishes went pretty fast. The dishes were what we expected and quite good. Then, we waited 30 minutes to order some desserts but they never came to ask, so we had to get up and ask them. After taking our order, they came back to tell us that the kitchen was closing so they couldn't serve us desserts. Hopefully, after repplied them that we waited 30 minutes for them to come and take our order, they agreed on doing it. The dishes were quite expensive regarding the service and the only thing they asked, was if we wanted to let a tip... read more

After a great experience the previous night at the excellent Hof Brauhaus we decided to give this place a try on Saturday night as it was just around the corner from my Mums hotel. I'd had lunch there before and thought it might be just the thing. What a huge disappointment! The service was friendly and helpful, but of the three main dishes we ordered were all well below par. The Wiener Schnitzel was burnt, my pork medallions were over cooked, the baked potato with chicken was likewise incinerated. I would never return there sad because it's in a great position! Beer lovers note: Although this place bills itself as a brewery, there seems little evidence of this taking place, although there are copper tanks in evidence. I tried a Dunkle and was very unimpressed. read more

This place is well worth a visit if you are in Hamburg and fancy some nice beer, in a lovely setting along with really good food too. We visited in December and the decorations on the brewing kit (yes they brew their own beer here!) and the rest of the restaurant was lovely. Menus are also in English and the food is typical German fayre done very well. Definitely try this place out. read more

If you want authentic and well cooked german cuisine and a delicious in house brewed beer, look no further. This is the place. Classical german brew house ambiance that at least we love when we are in Germany. Classical dishes that everyone who has been to Germany recognize. The pumpkin and ginger soup with sesame seeds was real comfort food and would have been even better a cold and rainy autumn evening but was still great this sunny day. Creamy texture and wonderful balance between the pumpkin and ginger. Since it was chantarelle season (pfifferlinge) they had some nice dishes that highlighted that ingredient. The "Flammkuche" wich is sort of a thin crust bread with cheese, bacon, creme fraiche and chantarelles was also supertasty. Big enough to share and a great deal at 10 €. The veal wiener schnitzel with fried potatoes was amazing and came (as usual) with a fresh side salad. It was all really really good. My wifes pork knuckle (schweinehaxe) was equally good and she was very happy with it. This is my new no 1 spot for good german food in Hamburg and i have been there +15 times and tried a lot af restaurants. read more

Service is average and the beer is kind of a dissapointment. Neat location on a canal. Hard to explain the beer; I had their copper lager which is almost a dunkel but doesn't get to the richness of a dunker, and lacks something if it's trying to be closer to an altbier. The summer lager I had was full of all kinds of spices like coriander, but it was just kind of cloying in flavor. Had the flatbread pizzas, which were great; vegetarian options are here, and you can make some stuff vegan. read more

Very good sausages and beer. Service was quick. Location is convenient near the historic district and shopping, right beside one canal. Would certainly recommend for a delightful dinner with family and friends. read more

I enjoyed a lunch here with some coworkers. The environment is really nice, it looks like a typical German restaurant. The location is really good, basically in the city center, you can easily reach it from the U-Bahn. The quality of food was good, I took a "Jägerschnitzel". Unfortunately, the service was a bit low. They took more than 30 mins to deliver the dishes... read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed Joh Albrecht. Been there several times. If I have friends visiting Hamburg, it is probably the place I take them to. They got a good view of the canal if you are lucking getting a table next to the window. They have really good Flammkuchen. I've ordered it every time I got there. I've tried schweinshaxe and schnitzel once or twice. Not impressive. Beer is good though. The place is good for group. They have a lot of long tables. read more

Beer review only. The beer here is very, very good. I could drink it all day long. And for the location and taste, the prices are fair. The restaurant is clean, and overlooking the water can be nice on a warm day with boats and people floating by. But, I'm never coming back here. The people are horrible. At first, I walked up to the bar because it wasn't clear. When I tried to order, the guy basically told me "no, you'll sit down, it's full service here" in a very rude German tone. When I looked shocked, he assumed I didn't speak German (I do) and repeated it in English. Then he asked if I spoke English, because I was still a bit shocked at his tone. "You sure don't seem like you speak English either" was his response. I should have left then...but I didn't. So, I grabbed a seat and apparently "full service" is German slang for "slow as hell service". It was 15 minutes until I got a beer. The refill took just as long. And it wasn't because my server (who wasn't as rude, but was far from friendly) wasn't working hard. Indeed, she was working TOO hard and had TOO many tables, so everyone's service suffered. As I mentioned, good beer, but I'll never be back. The people are rude, the service is slow. Horrible place from that standpoint. read more

Great place for German food close to everything in Hamburg. We had two people get the pork shank for dinner and it was excellent (a little fatty). The beer was good and the prices were good. Great value for the money. I would definitely recommend if you are spending any time in Hamburg. read more

Really good wholesome meal. Plenty of home grown German options to choose from. Always feel slightly uncomfortable with the staff- may be my issue since I don't speak fluent German. Sit where you want which is nice. Nice spacious restaurant and they have their own beer selection. read more

Went here for lunch after hearing about it continuously from colleagues, who frequent this place for the schnitzel. Restaurant was basically empty at 12:30, we were served promptly and the food arrived in a timely manner. Unfortunately, my schnitzel was not significantly bigger than Chicken McNuggets. Honestly - for 6.50 you can get a decent sized schnitzel at several other places within a 500m radius from this restaurant. Besides the schnitzel, they have a dish of the day - my colleague's beef goulash looked really nice, so I'll surely come back here to try something other than the schnitzel. If you're in it for the meat n' crumbly, look elsewhere. read more

Was there last thursday night and it was absolutely crowded. We managed to get a bar table, which wasn't one of the most comofortable seats since the chairs had no support to lean on. I had ratatouille filled baked potatoe gratinated in cheese and with creme fraiche. It was good, but not a stand out, but I wasn't disappointed. (They have better baked potatoes at other places in hamburg such as Kumpir in Sternschanze and for half the price too). All in all it was a nice evening. We got our food very quickly. Edit: I was there again last friday with 3 friends. I had the vegetarian flammenkuchen. They used mushrooms from a can. I hate when restaurants don't use fresh mushrooms. Again, the restaurant was crowded, but neither food or service was more than average, so I lower it to 3 stars. We went to 15 restaurants and bars in hamburg iover the weekend and this was the worst of them. However it doesn't really say much since the rest of them were excellent. read more

My colleague and I were both craving some schnitzel and a good beer. As luck would have it, this place was a short walk from our hotel and it did not disappoint. The Location - Directly along one of the canals, the side of the dining room with large windows serves as a great spot to take in the sights. Get there early if you want a window seat, however, as the room fills up quickly as the night goes on. The Beer - Solid micro brews, most of which are made in the German style. The Pilsner was light and refreshing, and the Hefeweizen was fruity and tasty. It was fun to see onsite brewing urns and various ingredients and equipment as you walk through the place. The Food - The schnitzel did not disappoint. Served in various styles and accompanied by various preparations of potatoes and other veggies, I'd easily go back if my next schnitzel craving hits while in Hamburg. The Service - Not spectacular, but they did their job. Not much personality to speak of. The food came, the beer came, and the empties disappeared. Worked for us. read more

A delightful, local restaurant for authentic German food. Both the schnitzel and the sausages were remarkable. Right on the water, the outdoor seating was delightful. Service was great. Highly recommended. read more

Two stars for the mouse I saw after finishing my meal. But then again I saw two big rats in a trendy restaurant in Paris! For starters the soup was delicious, disappointed with main course as I ordered fish that turned out to cold served (not mentioned on the menu), very oily potatoes, some cream on the fish. I just had the fish and salad. The fish wasn't bad after accepting the facts. p.s. look for the fish in the fish read more

Went there for a business dinner. Recommended by a colleague. The beer is good, but given the fact that they are a brewery, choices you have a a bit sparse. The craft been (only one available) is lacking a proper description. Food is OK. Waiters however were good - friendly, quick. Location is very nice. Noise Level to high for business lunch - unless of course you are looking for Nomunication. read more

Almost one of "must-visits" in HH due to very central location, nice schnitzels and great beer.

Awful service. Everything is so slowly. The waiter make an observation, that I asked him to take an order.

The Joh. Albrecht Brewery is located at a fleet close to the town hall. If you are lucky or reserve a table you can have a great view of the fleet. The decoration is typical for a German brewery restaurant and the staff was very nice. The food was solid German food. With fair prices considering the size of the dish and the location of the restaurant. The beer (brewed at the restaurant) is very good and there is an offer of different kinds. Enjoy :-) read more

Always go here when in hamburg. It's god great schnitzel which is always good. Nice location overlooking the canal in central hamburg. Only issue with the place is the service is painfully slow. Been here 3 times now and every time had to ask a few times for a beer or a table or a menu. They seem to be always busy so service is not something they have dealt with. Great place otherwise though and always a good atmosphere. read more

Very nice service, nice setting, nice german fare and (what appears to be) local clientele. Liked it.

Joh. Albrecht is a large, central, brewery restaurant that serves predominantly German fare. I've only been once, and then only for the beer, which is very good. I keep on telling myself I should go and try their lunch menu, as it's so close to where I work read more

The beer is the star here. To my palate, it's distinctive across the three brews offered, each having a very aromatic, herbal quality. The food is solid German brew house fare with a twist. There's a curry-laden Thai soup that's delicious and a German "tapas" plate featuring mini-schnitzels, rõsti and wurst. The canal-side setting is quite nice. read more

A very popular location for dinner on a Tuesday evening - which was a good sign for us as we only had one night to eat dinner in Hamburg. Food service was quick and the food was authentic and tasty. If you want German food in a picturesque river setting and a very comfortable relaxed atmosphere this would definitely be a good choice! read more

Things to know about this place: it's very centrally located, just around the corner from the Rathaus, it's actually open in the late evenings (unlike most places in this district), and it has really nice local beers (called Messing and Kupfer). The food is very decent as well. read more

That's a weird beer. I like it but in Germany it's surprising to taste one that is so much different than most others. The weizenbier here is a little sour but it is pleasant, refreshing. Still, I don't know if I want it again or not. The haxe is tasty and fresh, although not that big portion as it first seems. A bit expensive but I guess for that part of Hamburg it's ok. read more

Awesome German food! A few nice Schnitzels to choose from (incl. a beer crust and a pretzel-breaded Schnitzel), as well as other pasta and meat specialties. Nice high-class brewery atmosphere speaking of which, their beer is excellent. Fair prices as well, and a very central location. Friendly waitstaff. One of my favorite German food places in Hamburg! read more

Great beer, and good selection of dishes to go with it. the staff is friendly and very polite.

The food was good, we ordered the schanke and the steak. Both was really good. We ordered the apfelstrudeln as dessert and this we can recommend. The reason for the 4 star is that we had to wait for 45min for the main dishes. That was a long wait for the relatively simple dishes. This is of course disputable, but that's how we felt. The strudeln came after 15min too. The check? Guess what, it came in with a minute. read more

Walking in the door the delicious smell of brewing beer. Chicken spinach curry was today's special for 7 Euros. Messing beer also delicious and reasonable. read more

Really bad service. We waited for 15 minutes for the lady to take our order but she was too busy with catering to other customers. I guess they are understaffed to serve people during lunch time. read more

I went here for food last night. I'd been before but only for drinks so was looking forward to trying the food. The place was busy enough for a Sunday evening. Sat down at the table at 5:45 and ordered food and drinks. Drinks arrived quickly enough but then it went downhill. At 7:00 we still had no food. Our waitress noticed this and went to find out about our food and came back to tell us they forgot our order! As our hunger levels were high and we were in such a bad mood with the service we asked for the bill for the drinks so we could go somewhere else. The waitress apologised and didn't charge us for the drinks. In fairness, I don't think it was all her fault. There wasn't enough staff working for the amount of people in the place. All the staff that were working looked stressed out and were running all over the place serving people. This might have had something to do with their rudeness! If they had more staff working things would probably run more smoothly. I've family and friends visiting Hamburg next month and wanted to take them here but I'm not going to now. It's a shame because the place is really nice and the food that I did see on other tables looked really good. read more

Very good food and friendly service. I've had very good Fish & chips ( crispy and not fat). Not expensive considering the neighbourhood. I recommand it ! read more
