Best Bars in Frankfurt
Table of Contents of this Article
Whether you are visiting Frankfurt for the first time, or are an expat that has just moved into the city, Frankfurt offers excellent bars where you can relax at the end of the day with a large glass of German beer.
The best bars in Frankfurt are mostly found around the Innenstadt, the city’s centre, where most of the trendy drinking places lay close together catering to a sophisticated audience’s taste for lounge bars and cocktails.
But you can also find every type of bar here, whether they are quiet bistros and wine bodegas, or wild college bars with an electrical party atmosphere. We’ve visited the best bars in Frankfurt and rated them based on their service, quality of drinks, and ambient. So go ahead and take a seat in one of these bars and ask for their specials, you’ll thank us later. Zum Wohl!
Barhundert
Barhundert is one of those places were you just enter and feel that everything is right. The atmosphere is so relaxed, and the staff is always very friendly and eager to pamper their customers making sure that they always have a snack in their hands.
The ambiance is relaxed and stylish with good lounge music playing in the background, and well made drinks like their Tequila Sunrise, Big Lebowski, and Red Snapper cocktails. Don’t forget to try their Violet Hour, a sensuous fruity drink that is fresh yet not sweet and with a small touch of gin.

Five of the Best Bars in Frankfurt
quarta-feira, 20 de janeiro de 2016
The home of German apple wine, or Apfelwein, Frankfurt is famous for its traditional cider taverns. However, those seeking something a little more sophisticated will be rewarded here, too. From experimental bars serving premium spirits to underground speakeasies specialising in craft cocktails, there’s something to suit every mood, if you know where to look. Follow us into the city’s drinking dens, cocktail lounges and German taverns as we tour five of our favourite bars in Frankfurt.
JFK Bar at Villa Kennedy is every bit as masterful as the president it was named after. In the comfort of a classic and welcoming lounge, guests sip on premium malt whiskies, cognacs and cocktails from an extensive menu of over 120 drinks. The presidential theme is carried across the bar’s classic and original cocktails, honouring US presidents, world leaders, first ladies and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe with an inventive selection of dedicated drinks. Live music provided by the house pianist also helps to set the mood for a relaxing evening.
If you’re looking for somewhere to escape from the modern world, The Kinly Bar will take you back in time to a place where simplicity is vital and taxidermy is in vogue. Located in a cellar below the reaches of mobile networks, this cosy bar is reminiscent of a classic speakeasy. Accessed by a nondescript door next to a street-level motel, the underground bar is a must-see, if you can find it. While the interiors are simple, when it comes to the cocktails, it’s all about presentation. Each drink is served in a characteristic glass, a coconut or even a box filled with smoke, and fresh ice is chiselled off an ice block in front of you. The Kinly Bar certainly wins prizes for dramatic effect.
One of the best bars in Frankfurt, The Parlour is an exclusive, experimental cocktail bar in the centre of the city. Designed to resemble a comfortable living room, the venue is homely and intimate, with dark leather chesterfield sofas and wooden furniture. Behind the bar, mixologists shake up a concoction of beautifully presented speciality cocktails, many mixed with homemade syrups. As there’s no obvious sign indicating that you’ve arrived at The Parlour, ask our concierge for some detailed directions before setting out on your treasure hunt.
At this elegant city centre venue, guests can rediscover an array of long-forgotten favourites such as the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail featuring Barbados Rum, Falernum, Triple Sec and lime juice, or the Boulevardier, made with Bourbon, Red Vermouth and Campari. As well as resurrecting the classics, Sullivan also offers a variety of gin, rum, whisky, tequila, vodka and Champagne-based cocktails and wholesome bar snacks to soak up the powerful concoctions.
But what would a trip to Frankfurt be without at least stopping in at a traditional German tavern? Apple wine is a local specialty in Frankfurt and sampling the city’s most famous libation is a right of passage for visitors. Lorsbacher Thal tavern is a worthy place to start your tasting tour, serving some of the city’s best apple wine, as well as hosting dedicated tastings and events for connoisseurs and novices alike.
With so many great bars in Frankfurt, start the evening with dinner at Villa Kennedy’s Gusto, an authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of the city.

Frankfurt Insider: After work cocktails in the PARLOUR bar
You want to know a real Frankfurt insider? You want to know where you can spend your after work evenings in Frankfurt? Let me introduce you “the Parlour Bar” – a perfect after work bar.
Yesterday evening I spent my evening in the beautiful Frankfurt and searched for a perfect place to drink cocktails with colleagues. One colleague told me about the “the Parlour Bar” so we went there. “The Parlor Bar” is located in the Zwingergasse 6 in 60313 Frankfurt – in the city of Frankfurt.
Outside you will not notice that there is a bar inside, because it is seems just like a normal house with black windows and the ground floor. If you want to enter the bar, you have to knock at one of those black windows and have a little bit luck, because if the bar is full (maximum 30 seats inside) no one will open the door. Inside you will find an elegant and luxurious bar – a little room with dark furniture – just a great atmosphere.
In “the Parlour Bar” you will find the best quality, self made sirups and the best bartender in Germany. The result? You will get individual cocktails to your taste, because there is no official beverage list. Notice, all that services and quality have its prices, my cocktail was the left one at the photo and was called “old habits die hard” for 14,50 euros with a Parmesan stripe above. The other cocktail at the right side at the photo was called “no shaving but pairing” for 15,00 euros. All cocktails are served with water, what is also a special service and a little highlight.
Taste of the cocktails at “the Parlour bar”?
At “the Parlor bar” cocktails become a higher level, created like a perfume and perfected in every little detail. My cocktail was the best cocktail I ever tried so far. Even the served water has its own specific taste – soft water, which reminds me of “Fiji water”.
I can recommend it to anyone who is in Frankfurt, just to visit this bar and drink one of these delicious cocktails. If you go with your colleagues to this bar, they will be thrilled of this location and the special taste. Sure, the cocktails are a little more expensive than normal cocktails, but they are worth it and rather only one cocktail (which change your love to cocktails) than a few normal ones.

Bonechina – An Elephant in a Cocktail Bar
It’s no secret that Frankfurt’s bar scene is incredibly exciting right now, and places like Bonechina Bar are the reason why. From an elephant spraying tonic water, to a bar the size of a kitchen, Bonechina is an unusual little world in which you somehow feel right at home.
On a recent Thursday evening, amongst the neon signs and rowdy pubs in Frankfurt’s Alt-Sachsenhausen neighbourhood, a small queue was forming outside the only venue with almost no signage at all. The door wouldn’t open, but after the press of a buzzer and a moment’s wait, an apologetic bartender appeared and ushered the eager drinkers inside, explaining that Bonechina Bar was now full.
Unlike the bars around it, at Bonechina, ‘full’ doesn’t mean customers are packed in so tightly they can hardly reach the bar; it just means there aren’t any seats left. As a result, walking into Bonechina can feel like being invited to the party of a friend with impeccable taste. It’s intimate, comfortable, and glasses don’t stay empty for long.
A very select party
As with any well-planned party, a lot of thought has been put into the set up at Bonechina Bar. “It’s a challenge,” says owner Sven Riebel. “How do I prefer to work? How can I make service more efficient?” Riebel says a small bar means “bartenders need to communicate more with customers.” And Riebel knows good design is essential to running a bar successfully in a small space – his award winning first venue, The Tiny Cup, has a maximum capacity of just 16 people.
Along with 10-12 seats, Bonechina Bar also has strategically-placed cushions embedded in the wall, so standing customers have something comfortable to lean against. Beyond being functional, the cushions also blend in seamlessly with the bumpy, diamond-shaped black tiles which line the walls. No bar wall has ever been so tempting to touch.
An elephant in a china shop
The focal point of the room is a black porcelain elephant with the same geometric design as the wall tiles. Riebel says the elephant encapsulates the bar’s theme, that of the proverbial ‘elephant in a china shop,’ or as it is in English, a bull – hence the name Bonechina. The elephant also gets pride of place for its talent for dispensing homemade tonic water from its trunk. “We wanted people to meet around a spring,” says Riebel – just like they would in a small village. He’s lucky the elephant is so well-trained; if it did run amok, the first casualty would be the bar area.
And the bar itself is where Bonechina really stands out. Instead of the typical long counter top, with bartenders on one side and customers on the other, people prepare their own drinks in a sort of open-plan kitchen area with the help of a bartender. It’s a combination of table service and a house party. Once a bartender takes your order, they lead you into the bar space and explain how to make the drink. Some options, like bottled cocktails, are already mixed and simply require you to place a flavoured ice cube of your choice into a glass before pouring the contents of the bottle in. Others need stirring or, in the case of a Gin & Tonic, a trip to the elephant.
At first, “everybody’s kind of surprised that they’re supposed to do their own thing,” says Riebel. “It’s a way of giving people a bit more freedom.” Most customers appreciate being able to experiment, but Riebel is quick to add that the bartenders are flexible hosts. If someone isn’t in the mood to mix their own drink, a bartender will gladly do it for them.
This interactive service concept gives Bonechina the feeling of a pop-up bar which has become permanent. With customers mixing the drinks, there can’t be anything too difficult to prepare – you won’t see a Ramos Gin Fizz on the menu anytime soon. While that may mean the drinks on offer are less ambitious than at other places, the bar’s unique limitations breed creativity, too. For example, Bonechina is powerful proof that self-service is the natural next step for bars with bottled cocktails. After all, if the drink is already mixed, why call a bartender over just to pour it for you? And offering a range of flavoured ice adds a personalised twist to an otherwise mundane task, not to mention rewarding repeat visits.
A bar for during the week
Those visits can only be between Tuesday and Thursday, though. In a daring move for a nightlife business, Bonechina is closed on weekends and Mondays. Riebel says the limited hours aren’t about keeping his weekends free, but about making Bonechina’s unique space and atmosphere available for private events. Hiring even a small venue in Frankfurt for a birthday party on a Friday or Saturday night is prohibitively expensive, and Riebel says one of his goals with Bonechina is to change that. Since the bar wouldn’t otherwise be open on those nights, it can charge people much less to use the space. So far, event bookings have been infrequent, but Riebel is focussed on building them into a steady business. “Four functions in a month is optimum,” he says.
Bonechina’s unusual hours are also designed to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. Alt-Sachsenhausen can get rowdy enough on a Thursday night, let alone a Saturday, and a door with a bouncer isn’t the most welcoming sight. “I have no desire to run a bar with security. This is a small, manageable place you can visit during the week,” says Riebel. Regardless of its opening hours, Bonechina has already attracted a small yet loyal following.
The man behind Bonechina Bar
It’s no surprise that Riebel is pushing the envelope with Bonechina. He’s been mixing cocktails for a decade and has the kind of resume bartenders dream about. After learning the ropes from Beate Hindermann and Stefan Weber at Berlin’s haven of classic cocktails, Victoria Bar, he moved down the road to another top-tier venue, Lebensstern. It wasn’t long before Riebel was approached to join a team in Frankfurt for the opening of a new bar called Gekkos. The bar helped popularise cocktails in Frankfurt, and after two and half years, Riebel had become assistant manager and fallen in love with the city.
After taking a year off, Riebel was finally able to open his own bar, The Tiny Cup, in 2015. The small 17m 2 venue made a big splash in the German bar scene, attracting attention for its clever use of space, immaculate service, and attention to detail. It’s an ethos which Riebel is keen to instil in Bonechina, too. “The biggest thing for me in a bar is not the drinks,” he says. “The biggest thing is always communication between the bartender and the customer.”
And Riebel isn’t content to rest on his laurels. He’s aiming to open a 100-room boutique hotel in Frankfurt early next year, which he says “won’t have a typical hotel bar.”
An experimental experience
So often, experimental bars get respect and regulars from within the industry, but don’t catch on with the public. They become bartenders’ bars, home to outlandish concoctions and finicky old bar tools. There’s fun to be had in such places, but they can be overwhelming, too.
Bonechina is a rare thing: a thoroughly unorthodox bar where everything experimental is designed to make customers feel more comfortable. Its careful design makes spending an evening there feel effortless. As Riebel puts it, “Bonechina is not a barkeepers’ place.” He’s right, but for a barfly, it’s an experience worth having.
