Traditionsgaststätte „Bei d’r Tant“

Restaurant Bar

👍 Not sure where the dozen Kölsch went that were noted on the coaster - they must have been very good! Still one of the coolest pubs in Cologne, and the food is also not too bad. People often mention lsch, good, beer, friendly, sehr, service, great, nice, Cologne, traditional,

    Friendliest service I experienced in Germany. Waiter was very well spoken and made us feel happy even though he was rushing around and was really busy. We loved the schnitzel, not big in size but it is nicely crispy outside and juicy inside. Beef tartar on bread roll and on Rosti was amazing. I always liked heavily spiced ones but this changed my mind. They have a few tables around where you can stand and there are a few chairs. Inside can be really crammed but people don’t seem to be minding to share the table.

    What a fantastic little pub. Great atmosphere, nice beer and good food. The service was also excellent and very friendly. Food menu was extensive, we loved the blood sausage and the halve hahn. Food seemed to be served until fairly late too which was handy. Can't wait to visit again

    Rosti with tartare was delicious! Prices are great and the staff were so accommodating. I was in a rush and couldn’t stay very long but still had a very enjoyable experience. 100% will come back.

    Amazing food, absolutely lovely service! Everything was perfect from walking in to leaving 10 drinks later (small 0.2L beers, served often and going down well, between 2 ) Thank you so much and see you soon!

    Popped in here for a quick beer while we waited for our rooms at the nearby Motel One to be ready. Really glad we came into this really warm and charming neighbourhood brauhaus. Though we only popped in for a beer we decided to have some beer food too (and more than just one Gaffel kolsch each). We shared a liverwurst and dutch cheese plate, served with crispy wholemeal rolls and also shared a very tasty himmel und erde (black pudding, fried onions, creamy mashed potatoes and apple sauce). A perfect lunch. Great service. Very friendly. Seems to have a very loyal and supportive group of regular customers who were happy to chat.

    We were so excited to visit this pub! We read a lot of great reviews, and was looking forward to the food and beer, but had an awful experience. The staff was extremely rude to the point where we walked out. We showed proof of vaccination with passports (which was accepted everywhere else) he grabbed my vaccination card, shook his head with a grin, and threw it at back at me without saying anything. I asked what was wrong when he proceeded to say “I don’t know what this is, where’s your QR code”. We didn’t know we needed one, since we’re visiting and was never told to get one. So we left and went to other pubs.

    Visited here whilst I was staying at Motel One next door (another place I would highly recommend btw)... It's a great pub this ! Gaffel Kolsch will flow freely, the staff are so on the ball as well. No sooner than your glass empties, another fresh Kolsch turns up ! You might leave wondering where you put them all it's that efficient

    The place seems to be popular last weekend but I didn't like it. The waiter was offensive, persuading to drink each glass of beer with no more than three sips, after that he gave you the next glass without any notification or asking. The food was also awful, the steak with mushroom sauce and fries.

    We love this place- Best Real German food and atmosphere in all of Cologne. Our waiter "Bjorn" was so friendly, helpful, attentive. We went to 4 other traditional restaurants but the best Schnitzel and beer was here. Dreaming of this place now from New York, New York.

    Was working in cologne for a couple of days. Wondered out by myself for a couple of drinks. Really enjoyed my visit here. Traditional Kolsh. Very traditional, ran by husband and wife (?) in very traditional clothing. Beer was delicious, bill was tallied on my beer mat. I didn’t eat but food coming out looked great. Traditional music and lively atmosphere even for a week day.

    (Translated by Google) If I want to drink a good Kölsch, it also costs 1.90 € doch the glass should also be full for it. We will not go there in the future. (Original) Wenn ich ein gutes Kölsch trinken möchte, es dann auch noch 1,90 € kostet ? sollte doch das Glas auch voll sein dafür. Wir werden da in Zukunft nicht mehr hingehen.

    My favorite bar in Cologne. Close to downtown, but far enough away that it’s not full of tourists. A VERY traditional style pub. Visited several times. Gets very busy during dinner time. The staff is helpful and friendly. They seemed happy to speak English with an American. Traditional German food. Don’t miss if you’re looking for an authentic experience within a 10 min walk to the cathedral. Outdoor and upstairs seating.

    If you are hungry definitely give this a miss. We could barely cut through the pork schnitzel it was so dry. (The kindly waiter insisted it wasn’t.) The Wienerschnitzel looked and tasted like it had been strangled. The Rösti I’m pretty sure came from frozen potatoes. The salad was drowning in dressing and literally was topped with a hair. On the other hand, it was terribly overpriced.

  • 2/5 Per H. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place with some outside tabels. Serve traditional Kölsch beer which is good and also menu of simple type of food. Tried the weinerschnitsel and by mistake ordered extra sallad. Food was bad with surprising low quality. Was expecting much better based on the reviews. Good place for some beer drinking but stay away from the food.

  • 2/5 Joschi kein W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For a while we were very happy and very often here. The personnel is very friendly and courteous. From time to time the boss lets himself down with a short nod. Otherwise, it is rather grim and if you sit near the counter, you unfortunately often notice as a guest how he deals with the employees. If the pub had not been a sure-fire success for several years, the guests would certainly not have come for the landlord. The Kölsch is nice and cold when it comes from the small barrels. Not enjoyable from the line. The food is usually very good and also very cheap. Unfortunately it always plays a big role which cook is on duty. After complaining about a dry burger once after several visits and various meals, they were not even able to take it off the bill or at least offer a Kölsch on the house. That is also the reason why we no longer go: The low appreciation. The store got along very well without us for several years and we without it. Accordingly, our paths separate at this point. (Original) Eine Zeitlang waren wir sehr gerne und sehr häufig hier. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ab und an lässt der Chef sich mal dazu herab kurz mit einem Kopfnicken zu grüßen. Ansonsten ist er eher grimmig und wenn man in der Nähe der Theke sitzt, bekommt man als Gast leider oft mit, wie er mit den Angestellten umgeht. Wäre die Kneipe nicht seit etlichen Jahren ein Selbstläufer, würden die Gäste sicher nicht des Wirtes wegen kommen. Das Kölsch ist schön kalt, wenn es aus den kleinen Fässern kommt. Aus der Leitung eher nicht genießbar. Das Essen ist im Normalfall sehr gut und auch sehr günstig. Leider spielt es immer eine grosse Rolle welcher Koch Dienst hat. Nachdem ich nach etlichen Besuchen und verschiedenen Essen ein einziges Mal einen trockenen Burger bemängelte, war man nicht mal in der Lage den von der Rechnung zu nehmen oder zumindest ein Kölsch aufs Haus anzubieten. Das ist auch der Grund warum wir nicht mehr hingehen: Die geringe Wertschätzung. Der Laden kam etliche Jahre ohne uns sehr gut klar und wir ohne ihn. Entsprechend trennen sich an dieser Stelle unsere Wege.
