Traditional brewery house gastronomy
We are proud of the unique variety of FRÜH gastronomy. For Cologne residents as for international guests from all over the world, the Brauhaus Früh am Dom is a popular place to experience Cologne's hospitality. In the historic buildings right at the Heinzelmännchenbrunnen (Brownie Fountain), we not only offer traditional brewery house gastronomy, but also the neighbouring Eden Hotel Früh am Dom. We offer many rooms for your events and celebrations, as well as 4 conference rooms and an exclusive event location over the roofs of Cologne directly overlooking Cologne Cathedral. But we don't only welcome you in the heart of Cologne. We also welcome you to our traditional pubs FRÜH “Em Golde Kappes” and FRÜH “Em Veedel” in the south and north districts of Cologne, „Em Jan von Werth" near the Gerling-Quartier as well as to the FRÜH “Em Tattersall” in the district of Weidenpesch at the gallop racecourse.
The “Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom”
No Cologne local or visitor to the city can avoid the Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom. The inviting façade of the brewery, the special atmosphere of the beer garden, the historic brewery cellar and the exposed location directly opposite Cologne Cathedral guarantee a genuine Cologne lifestyle. The STEHBIERHALLE, which will open in 2024 right next to Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom, is specially designed for guests who simply want to have a Kölsch beer or a bite to eat. There is also space here for larger groups to enjoy a Kölsch standing up. In addition to the Kölsch coziness of the traditional brewery, there are many historical pictures and furnishings from the more than 120-year history of FRÜH gastronomy to discover!

FRÜH “Em Golde Kappes”
It's not only in the centre of Cologne where you can enjoy the traditional Rhineland dishes, a fresh draft of Kölsch and the hospitality of FRÜH gastronomy. Our FRÜH “Em Golde Kappes” pub in Cologne-Nippes is an institution among local Cologne pubs. The traditional pub was opened in 1913 by Nippes publican Matthias Becker. Since then, the pub, which has always been known as “Kneip op d'r Eck” (corner pub), has been an indispensible part of the Nippes gastronomy scene. The restaurant has retained its rustic ambience despite extensive renovations in 2009. Today, the Nippes “natives” and many residents from other Cologne quarters meet there to toast each other with a glass of Kölsch.
FRÜH “Em Veedel”
The gastronomic face of the Severin district is also characterized by the FRÜH “Em Veedel” pub. We have been operating the traditional pub right on Chlodwigplatz, which used to be the pub of the “Brennerei (distillery) A. Hermann”, since 1979. Here we serve traditional Brauhaus cuisine along with a fresh draft of Früh Kölsch. The original rustic ambiance invites you to stay a while for a toast with your friends. Keeping our traditions in mind, we still serve home-made spirits today as in the days of the Hermann distillery.
FRÜH “Em Jan von Werth”
The traditional tavern “Jan von Werth” belongs to the FRÜH family since September 2018. From a good and solid stew, to fried black pudding and boiled knuckle of pork – all dishes are freshly prepared according to the established recipes of the FRÜH gastronomy. A freshly tapped glass of FRÜH Kölsch belongs to traditional Brauhaus cuisine, as well as non-alcoholic “FRÜH Sport” (kind of root beer) during your lunch break. Enjoy our traditional skittle alley with your friends – an iconic amusement for the young and the young at heart.
FRÜH “Em Tattersall”
The “Tattersall” has always been a popular meeting place in the quaters for young and old. Even outside of race days, people like to meet here for a freshly tapped FRÜH Kölsch. The beautiful beer garden with its old lime trees offers protection from almost any weather. Families enjoy the traditional brewery cuisine and the spacious grounds far away from traffic noise, in the middle of a nature reserve. There are numerous free parking spaces right outside the door. On race days or other events, however, parking fees may be charged by the organizer.
