We read great reviews about Brauhaus Pütz when we got to Köln and were not disappointed. We arrived…read morearound 6pm and while most front tables were reserved, there were several high top tables that were open, so we seated ourselves there and were quickly greeted by our server. We of course ordered Kölsch, which they bring around to drop off full glasses as soon as you finish the last sip of your previous glass. I ordered a dish from their seasonal asparagus menu, which was very tasty. The schnitzel was fried well without being too dry and the asparagus was huge, but still delicious. My bf got the Jägerschnitzel mit Pommes frites. The fries were crispy and the mushroom sauce was a great addition. Our server was very friendly and kind and we really enjoyed our meal here!

We wanted to hang out somewhere after dinner and found this brewery. There is some seating outside,…read morebut we sat ourselves inside. I ordered a lemonade from Cologne- Kölsches Wasser. They come in different colors and I went with pink, which turned out to be grapefruit. Kölsch is from Cologne. Each glass of Mühlen Kölsch beer is .2 liters and they keep bringing and marking on the coaster as to how many drinks were had. We didn't partake in food, but I saw the portions are sizable.

We were staying at an Airbnb down the block and stopped by on a warm spring night and sat on the…read morepatio. This is a neighborhood place. The servers and, I believe, the owners seemed to know everyone. We speak only rudimentary German and only one young woman spoke a bit of English. But we were still treated great. We muddled through the menu with what we knew and some guesses and a bit of help with Google translator. My wife went with the white asparagus risotto while I ordered one of the specials which we paired with a bottle of Riesling. Now to be fair I knew I was ordering a meat per the German word "fleisch". But I didn't recognize the type. Well "sülzfleisch" it turns out was a type of headcheese, home made, with a sauce on the side and baked potatoes. I was surprised but dug in. Both dishes were excellent! Great food and relaxed atmosphere. Worth stopping by.

We came here for an authentic food and drink experience right in the centre of Cologne. Steps from…read morethe Cologne cathedral, this is a local favourite. We sat at a table in the centre and were able to enjoy the warm and friendly ambiance. A memorable dish was the Himmel Un Äd - a local specialty. Plus you have to have the kolsch - also a local beer - that comes in 200 ml glasses. Tip: the servers will keep replenishing your beer until you cover your glass with a coaster!

The restaurant was recommended by our tour guide, so we gave it a try…read more It was over crowded when we went in. None of the waiters were friendly. We decided to sit outside, but because it started to drizzle, we went inside. We paid for our drinks outside and brought them in with us. The waiter was not friendly. Asked if we had paid for our drinks, I said we paid outside. I'm not sure if he believed me. When he finally came to take our drinks outside order, he seemed irritated with us. We got our drinks and order our meals. Our meals arrived very quickly and everything was wonderful. However, upon closing our bill, the waiter got very angry with me saying something about good service and no tip. We are literally in Germany where you don't tip. It's a cool place to see, but I'm not sure I would go back.

My husband ordered lamb while my sister ordered pork cutlet... very very delicious, the potatoes were awesome no need to ask for salt or pepper... sauce and herb used were more than enough... highly recommended when you're in Koln, Germany. The Koln beer was even tasty considering I don't drink beer.

Our waitress didn't speak any English and we didn't speak any German but we were able to get by with pointing and hand gestures. She was this super cute older German lady and she was really nice to us. We got cappuccinos and two slices of cake. I don't remember the exact names but they were both really good and not overly sweet. Great way to relax in the afternoon! Note that this place is cash only. We didn't know that before we went but we were lucky to have cash on hand.

Die Speisekarte war abgespeckt, die gute alte Hausmannsküche die immer so toll war , ist nun die übliche Brauhauskarte wie überall. Dann wurde Ballermannmusik in einer Lautstärke abgespielt dass es anstrengend wurde sich zu unterhalten. Da die Lautstärke auch auf unsere Bitte hin nicht runtergedreht wurde, sind wir dann woanders hingegangen. Schade , schade, schade...

I was pretty hungry as well, and without even looking at the menu, I spotted a dish that another guy was eating so I just pointed to it and asked the server if I could have what that guy was eating. She was really nice and made sure I had a full, fresh glass at all times. My dish resembled a shake 'n bake pork chop, but the best shake 'n bake pork chop anyone has ever had. A side of potato salad and a tub of mustard complemented it just right. It was very low-key when I came in, but it looked like a great place to party.
