Stapelhaus

A historic spot on the Rhine gets a fresh look: The Stapelhaus combines its historic roots with a carefully crafted modernization that reinterprets the brewery as a brighter, more open, and contemporary space. In the very place where fish were once unloaded and processed, freshly tapped Kölsch now defines everyday life—and with the latest renovation, another chapter in this long culinary history begins.

Regionally Inspired Cuisine

The menu is based on classic brewery cuisine and draws on a culinary tradition that deliberately remains artisanal. Rhenish Sauerbraten, pork knuckle, and “Himmel un Ääd” are the dishes that capture the essence of Cologne’s culinary identity through their flavors. This selection is complemented by vegetarian dishes and smaller plates, offering a conscious choice beyond classic meat dishes.

Kölsch with regional roots

Freshly tapped Sion Kölsch accompanies the meals, and the Stapelhaus maintains close ties to the regional brewing tradition. Its profile is modeled after a brand that is traditionally rooted in the Old Town and is part of a drinking culture that has been cultivated here for decades.
