Peter's Brauhaus is often described as a beer hall, but it is so much more than that. Once we entered, we were ushered into the bar, so that we could drink a local beer while we waited for a table. This gave us time to also take in the rustic wood construction of the interior, and enjoy the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen. Seating is family style, but they also have a few tables for two. The food is hearty traditional German fare, you won't need a second meal that day. This is certainly a must do in Koln, to have an authentic meal in a historic brauhaus.

Apart from the TV screens that is. Yes, Sky sports exists in Germany now and was showing a match between two teams I had never heard of, before flicking to a different match with 2 more teams I had also never heard of (Paderborn anyone?). Only 1.40 for a Kolsch too, but then I was east of the river (I bet they say that round here). The smell here was just perfect too, the inspiration for another scent in my range of perfumes; Eau de Brauhaus to be launched with a limited range of Pretzl shaped handbags.

Good portions are terrific, the kolsh is freash, service is great and prices are very reasonable compared to many other similar establishments. I was taken here years ago by a friend from the area while vising for work. Just went back recently and it is just as good as I remember it. Try the mamoth -sized pork knuckle and you will not be able to contain your smile.

He was gruff, big, and pretty cool. Mind you, don't try shifting the furniture about - they really don't like it (everything has its place here). As for the atmosphere, it is awesome. The bar actually looks as if it belongs in the middle ages, though the murals, and figurines, seem to be more at home in a church as opposed to a pub. Still, this place is cool and definitely worth checking out.
