About this place Ludwigs Bier & Brot

Ludwigs Bier & Brot is a beer bar on Mertensgasse in Dusseldorf's Altstadt. It is a gay bar that openly welcomes a mixed gay and straight crowd. It is a place for local Altbier and other drinks, and the crowd gets more mixed as the night goes on. It rates about 4.3 on Google from over 250 reviews. According to the hours on file it opens at 18:00 every day and runs until 05:00, which makes it a late stop after other Altstadt bars close. Weekends are packed, as is the whole Altstadt. Earlier listings mentioned weekend breakfast, but that does not fit these hours, so check before you count on it.

I visited this place over the weekend with a diverse group and we can highly recommend this small but excellent shop. You can even get snacks like raw minced pork sandwiches late at night – wow, how awesome! The service was funny and totally awesome, exactly our kind of humor. Thanks again for the great evening! :)

Yesterday, we went to this bar with a large group and spent a lot of money – unfortunately, the experience was simply disappointing. The service was abysmal: unfriendly staff, constant disapproving looks, and an overall very unpleasant atmosphere. The tone was often disrespectful and sometimes downright rude. I've rarely experienced anything like it. You simply don't feel welcome there. It got even worse at the end: shortly before closing time, I just wanted to quickly use the restroom, but a waiter told me to leave in an extremely rude and aggressive manner. This behavior was absolutely unacceptable. I really cannot recommend this bar at all.

From my personal experience: My wife and I went to have a few drinks, but unfortunately the bar tender was extremely racist and refused to serve us drinks. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place to anyone.
