On tour and guide recommended Brauhaus as a good place for a local bier. Kölsch was the stated local brew and we were pleased to have it. It was a warm Cologne day and we had walked a few miles. The afternoon provides shade to the outside area adjacent to the Elves' Fountain. Didn't have food since the cruise ship doesn't allow anyone to become hungry, but we did buy a half dozen drinks. Waiter was exceptional, rumors about stiff wait staff are overrated. He was a kind, helpful and friendly person who even took our group photo. Restrooms are down the spiral stairs, in the dungeon. There is plenty of capacity, as they are ready for a crowd.

Popped in to try the früh kölsh at this historic brewery since 1904, situated a couple minutes from the cathedral. Impressive building and interior with a rustic feel and decor. Service was very good. We had 12 kölsh( crisp and clean, very nice beer) at €2.50 and a shot of deckundönn (herbal shot) €3. They serve local cuisine and european dishes. Spiral staircase that leads to the toilets and medieval vault. In total our bill was €36. Overall a great authentic experience, next time will try the food as looked and smelled amazing.

Stopped in for lunch and beer and we weren't disappointed. The beer was so crisp and clean and it paired well with the food. The tomato soup was amazing and my wife enjoyed the pork knuckle. Cool, old world vibe. Next door is a gift store with a tap where you can buy a beer. Handy.

Amazing vibe and a really enjoyable experience overall! The food was comforting and delicious- we ordered the hausgemachte Käsespätzle and the pepper bean soup, and both were great. They also have their own in-house beer, which really adds to the authentic German brewery feel. The seating is wonderful-great comfortable, and set in a charming, classic atmosphere. A great place to relax and enjoy good food!

Brauhaus Früh am Dom in Cologne is one of the many spots in Old Town offering both indoor and outdoor seating for a classic beer and dining experience. As for the beer, I’d recommend it, it’s solid and enjoyable, though I personally would’ve preferred it served a bit colder. On the other hand, the food didn’t look particularly appealing, so I’d lean more toward coming here for the beer and atmosphere rather than a full meal.
