Discovering Dortmund: A Guide to the Best Breweries and Bars

Hello, fellow travelers!

Greetings from sunny Houston, Texas! I’m eagerly preparing for an upcoming trip to Germany, where I’ll be exploring the vibrant cities of Dortmund, Düsseldorf, and Cologne. While I’ve gathered plenty of information about Düsseldorf and Cologne, I’m still on the lookout for some insider tips specifically for Dortmund’s brewery and bar scene.

After conducting some initial research, I’ve managed to compile a list of noteworthy breweries in Dortmund:

Breweries to Explore

1. Kronen Privatbrauerei Dortmund GmbH

2. Famous for its Dortmunder Kronen, this brewery is a must-stop for enthusiasts eager to try local flavors.

3. Dortmunder Actien Brauerei GmbH

4. Known for their DAB Dortmunder Export, this brewery is slightly limited, as it only opens during weekdays. Do plan your visit accordingly!

5. HÖVELS Hausbrauerei

6. A fantastic spot to experience house-brewed beers.

Bars Worth Visiting

• Kraftstoff
• This lively bar is perfect for both unwinding and enjoying a great selection of drinks in a friendly atmosphere.

Additionally, I’ve come across the Brauerei-Museum Dortmund. While I’m unsure about its overall appeal, I’m curious to know if anyone has attended and whether it’s worth a visit.

If you have any suggestions, hidden gems, or rankings of the best breweries and bars in Dortmund, I’d love to hear from you! Your insights and recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I finalize my travel itinerary.

Thanks in advance!
