Altes Brauhaus (The Old Brewery), Koblenz

In the historic heart of Koblenz, just steps from the bustling Münzplatz, 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’s winding old town, the Old Brewery offers a welcome pause and a taste of the city’s enduring hospitality.

Step inside and you’ll 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’s 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 Kölsch or a seasonal specialty is considered a must.

The Old Brewery is more than a place to eat-it’s a living piece of Koblenz’s 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’ll be drawn into the easygoing, communal rhythm of life in Koblenz.
