A quite small, typical though not really charming place. Serves a nice Kölsch and a drinkable Malzbier (maybe the first I’ve been able to drink entirely in my life). About 15 minutes walking from the station.

For me the best Kölsch brauhaus. Very typical place, good food.No tourist

My favorite Koelsch. A nice place, very plain and simple, but that provides a nice authentic feeling. A bit of a hike from the station, but worth it.

I stopped in just for a beer. It was just before lunch so it wasn’t crowded. It was getting that way just before I left. The atmosphere was nice and the beer was great. It is my 2nd favorite next to Fruh.

Typical Brauhaus, half panelled with high ceilings, not so big as many others in Cologne. Often very crowded, but the fresh Kölsch (sometimes very good, sometimes a bit boring) is worth a detour !

I was here some late August day, around noon. A nice little place, just across the square from Pfaffen. There weren’t a lot of people when I was there, so it was very quiet, and fortunately the ones who were there didn’t smoke. Service was friendly. The highlight of this place is the great Kölsch they serve, definitely the best I’ve had in Köln. It’s worth coming here only to taste this great Kölsch fresh.

A dark brown restaurant, smaller than most in the city and frankly not as charming. The Kölsch is quite good. Very busy place just out of the main touristy neighborhood and seemingly packed with as many locals as travellers. Not very friendly service, but quick and efficient.

Nice place with a good Kölsch. Quite crowded and hard to find a non-reserved seating. But for a quick Kölsch they managed to squeeze me in.

With Fruh Dom the best Kolsch in Koln. I liked the ambience there too, but, like most German bars, too smoky for me. But sufferable when the beer is so good.

Sampled some Mühlen Kölsch here. Good service. Crowded when we went here
