Brauerei im Füchschen

Top choice in Düsseldorf


Boisterous, packed and drenched with local colour, the ‘Little Fox’ in the Altstadt is all you expect a Rhenish beer hall to be. The kitchen is especially famous for its mean Schweinshaxe (roast pork leg) served in a high-ceilinged interior that echoes with the mirthful roar of people enjoying their meals.

This is one of the best Altbier breweries in town, in business since 1848.
