Peters Brauhaus is located close to the busy tourist area around the Cathedral in Köln.  It's a large restaurant with many rooms and alcoves.  There is no bar area.  The brewing operation is not apparent.  One sits at a table and waits for the waiter to notice; then he will bring a menu.  The food seemed pricey, but the portions were large.  They have one beer, Kölsch, which comes in a 7-ounce pour.

Gildenhaus
Große Budengasse 10
50667 Cologne, Germany
0221 2575966

Gildenhaus is a brewpub just off the beaten path between the shopping district and the drinking district, and is an outlet for the Gilden brewery. It would remind one of an English tavern in that it has dark paneling, a full service bar, some tables around the edge of the bar area, and several tall tables with stools that allow one to stand or sit with his beer. The dining room is in the rear, traditional German Bier Halle decor: 8 large picnic-style tables. They serve one beer, Gilden Kölsch. Several regulars were reading the paper while sipping their beer.

Brauhaus Sünner im Walfisch
Salzgasse 13 , 50667
Cologne, Germany
0221 / 257 78 59

On the same street in Cologne's drinking district as several other Brew Pubs is Brauhaus Sünner, an outlet for the Sünner brewery. One passes a tiny patio area in front to enter directly into the dining area. A few steps in, one has the option to make a right turn into the small bar room that seats perhaps 8 on a "U" shaped bench. As well as a Kölsch , they serve their own bottled Hefe Weizen. The rest rooms are upstairs, as well as another dining area.
The barmaid was eager to practice her English; the owner was outside trying to drum up business.

Heller's Brauhaus
Roonstr. 33
50674 Köln
Tel. (02 21) 24 25 45

Heller's Brauhaus is a brewpub in a residential neighborhood of Cologne.
It is similar to an American bar in that just inside the door is a long bar surrounded by stools with some tables on the perimeter.
A dining area is in the rear as well as another back room. A doorway in the bar area leads to the adjacent store front which is also a dining area and leads to a large enclosed Bier Garten...or "Wintergarten."
The brewing operation is even further back. Heller's havs three of their own beers on draft, a Kölsch, an unfiltered Kölsch (thus, not a Kölsch...possibly a Keller Bier ) and a Hefe Weizen.
They also serve two of their bottled beers, a Pilsner, and a seasonal.
The menu is typical of the area and appropriately priced.

Gasthaus-Brauerei Braustelle
Christianstr. 2 | 50825 Köln
U-Bahnhof Leyendeckerstrasse Tel.: 0221 285 69 32

Braustelle is a brewpub in a bustling neighborhood several miles from downtown Cologne.
The door is on the corner of the building, and the modest bar, several steps inside, runs diagonally across the room and seats perhaps 12. The rest of the space is taken up by about 15 variously-sized tables.
The brewing equipment is in the back of one side and mostly in the basement.
One might think that a pub, self- proclaimed as "Cologne's Smallest Brewery", might have one beer, maybe even a good one.
But Braustelle has 4 of their own beers on tap, as well as 5 bottled beers of their own to offer. Like an American brewpub they experiment with styles, offering among others a German Porter, a Doppell, Trippel, and a beer that tasted like an English barley wine.
Early on a Saturday evening, the place was quite busy with people eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves.
They also boast Cologne's Smallest Website.

Gaffel am Dom
Trankgasse” or “Bahnhofsvorplatz 1
50667 Cologne
Tel. +49 (0)221 - 9 13 92 60

This Questor was walking down the street from his hotel to wander around the busy part of the neighborhood. Wait !! I recognize that smell !! It's a brewery !! There it is...a block from my hotel. Since I already counted this beer, I didn't look it up or map it out. The Gaffel Pub is the oulet for the brewery which is in the next block. Three store fronts wide and half a block deep the place is huge, with bier hall seating. There is also an upstairs and a downstairs. They must seat several thousand. But the night this Questor was there, there was only one other customer in the large, American-style bar. They have a schnapps, but Gaffel Kölsch is the only beer they serve.

When your beer is empty, another one appears, until you tell him "Nein, danke ". They have one beer, Alt, which comes in an 8-ounce pour.
I was in Schumacher's Ash Wednesday evening.  I noticed that the dining area was closed off.  That was because at 6:30, mass was to be said in the dining area.  The bar got packed; people were pounding down their beers, preparing for mass.
Gimme that old time religion!
