Locals say Päffgen pours the best Kölsch in town.

Brauhaus zum Prinzen
Perched in one of the oldest buildings on Alter Markt—first mentioned in 1213—Brauhaus zum Prinzen still captures a sense of old Cologne, even after being rebuilt post-WWII and reopened by Gaffel in 1987. Inside, it’s all wood panelling and framed photos, with a cosy fireplace room, a raised gallery where they screen 1. FC Köln matches, and a busy bar out front.
The menu sticks to local classics like schnitzel, currywurst, and Sauerbraten with dumplings, plus Kölsch-style tapas if you’re just after a snack with your beer. Gaffel Kölsch flows from the tap, and if you’re there when Köln scores in an away game, there’s a good chance someone will hand you a free one.
