Altes Brauhaus (The Old Brewery), Koblenz
In the historic heart of Koblenz, just steps from the bustling M眉nzplatz, stands the Old Brewery (Altes Brauhaus), a beloved beer hall and restaurant with centuries of tradition behind its sturdy stone walls. Housed in a building dating back to 1689, this former brewery embodies the convivial spirit of the Rhineland, where food, drink, and fellowship have long been central to daily life. Its timber-framed exterior and warm, wood-paneled interiors create an inviting setting that blends history with the hum of contemporary conversation. For visitors exploring Koblenz鈥檚 winding old town, the Old Brewery offers a welcome pause and a taste of the city鈥檚 enduring hospitality.
Step inside and you鈥檒l be greeted by a lively atmosphere where locals gather at long communal tables under rustic beams, raising their glasses of freshly poured beer. The menu celebrates hearty Rhenish and German cuisine-think sausages, schnitzel, roast pork, and generous platters meant for sharing. Many dishes are still rooted in recipes that reflect Koblenz鈥檚 culinary traditions, making the brewery both a restaurant and a cultural institution. The beer, brewed in-house for centuries, is a particular point of pride, and tasting a crisp local K枚lsch or a seasonal specialty is considered a must.
The Old Brewery is more than a place to eat-it鈥檚 a living piece of Koblenz鈥檚 social fabric. In a city shaped by its location at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, the brewery has long served as a gathering point for travellers, townsfolk, and students. You might drop by for a quick lunch, linger over an evening drink, or settle in for a full traditional meal, but in every case you鈥檒l be drawn into the easygoing, communal rhythm of life in Koblenz.
