21. Jahrhundert
Almost too cool to hang out in - or so is their intent. This frequently visited cocktail bar and lounge sets out 21st century style with a nightly DJ and posh cocktails and attracts the slick as well as those hoping to absorb a little of the excess style. [...]

22nd Lounge & Bar
Upmarket and up a skyscraper, the modern 22nd is named after the floor of the central building it's perched on, and therefore offers stunning views of the city for all those who can keep their eyes off their cocktail. If the view won't let you go, stay at one of the Inn Side apartments in [...]

An Sibin
The An Sibin certainly gets rolling in the wintertime with the English-speaking locals, as its cave-like downstairs setting provides a place to warm up from the cold. The bar staff and patrons are also quite warm if you have had enough of the trendy bar scene, and just want to meet a nice [...]

Anglo Irish
Anglo Irish
A lively Irish pub with a large beer garden in the heart of Old Sachsenhausen that?s the favourite of a mixed international crowd and the winner of the Guinness Arthur Award 2006.

Football is the main sport shown on the screens, with English premiership and Bundesliga games shown live, as well as Irish GAA and rugby. [...]

Destino
Destino
Definitely one of the top new picks in town. Come to this swanky bar for pretty girls, snazzy music and groovy videos featuring swimming fish. The tapas served here are tasty and can be enjoyed in the more intimate tables in the rear if you are smart enough to make reservations. [...]

Harry's New York Bar
Because this place is a bit out of the city centre, it's usually not as crowded as many other popular bars. The fat cocktail menu includes a list of champagne concoctions and other speciality drinks. Piano music nightly, sometimes accompanied by a saxophonist. Delicious cocktails are half price [...]

Havanna Bar
Jutting out of a residential building, this retro looking bar is meant to be Cuban in style, but is far too modern to remind anyone of anything in present day Cuba. Neon lights hung in pairs around the building and a backlit bar that fades in and out don’t give the place a very traditional fe [...]

Irish Pub Bornheim
A great little neighbourhood Irish Pub with a good set of regulars to liven the place up, sports events on large screens, a Thursday pub quiz and regular live music. Apart from beer, there's the usual roundup of Irish and international pub grub on the menu, including breakfasts and steaks. [...]

Jumalis
You would easily miss this bar were it not for the small red sign on the street. Set back from the street, Jumalis is entered through a gated courtyard. Its dark interior is a fabulous spot to relax and enjoy cocktails. Go early if you’d like to find seats at one of the six tables inside. [...]

Minibar
Size is not everything, and it definitely is not at the Minibar. You will find some of the best drinks in town with maximum service and taste. Hip cocktails stand tall against some of the larger and more pristine bars in town. Stop by for 5 Euro cocktails during the daily Happy Hour (19:00-21 :00).

For some proper fun, a guaranteed lively spot is this entertaining Irish pub. A hang out largely for the local English speaking community, there is always a live DJ at the weekends playing alternative and pop music.

Although it lies on the outskirts of town, it's still one of Frankfurt's busiest beer gardens in summer - especially popular with cyclists. They brew their own light and dark beers, including the well-loved Kirsch Bier (cherry beer). You can also order hearty portions of traditional German fare inside through the winter months. [...]

A little known gem in Frankfurt, this local German bar is directly across from the banks of the Main in Sachsenhausen. The atmosphere isn’t trendy but rather open and relaxed thanks to its kind owner/bartender, who serves the perfect pint of Guinness. With a pool table and excellent snacks such as [...]

Classy, crisp and elegant this is an excellent after-dinner haunt in Sachsenhausen.

Inspired by Goethe’s Faust, Mephisto claims to be devilishly good. Located in a creepy looking cellar, it has a labyrinthine seating area with high-backed red booths, sunken and raised (making it quite difficult to find the toilet or your friends), and candles lighting its brick red walls. The atmo [...]

Proclaiming, and rightly so, itself the other side of Frankfurt, this piano bar is the perfect antidote to everyday working life in the city. Owned by an affable barman/saxophonist from a small African island called New Morning, everything just seems right about the place. It’s very small, hence in [...]
