Am Salzhaus 4

A bar first and a club second, this place offers something very special for the late night partier: no cover charge. The music is always house, the theme is barely Inca, and there are usually drink specials on. [...]

This club near the station is full of singles on the prowl; women have a much easier time getting in when the place is full. Inside there's a central dance floor with disco, pop and hip-hop, an upstairs balcony, the Platin-VIP lounge, and a mix of fashion on parade. [...]

Düsseldorfer Str. 1-7

Known as the Kingka for obvious reasons, this is Frankfurt's swankiest club. It's also one of the most restrictive - expect to be turned down at the door if you're wearing jeans, khakis or anything that marks you as a tourist. [...]

Praesidium 19/11
The green-clad Bullen (police) moved out of their beautiful headquarters and the party crowd moved in. The exquisitely furnished restaurant and club has ornamental staircases winding up to impressive lounges with marble pillars, sofas and antique wooden furniture. [...]
