Come curious, leave hunky dory, says the sign, and the bar in the Bahnhofsviertel keeps a core menu that stays and improves over time beside seasonal specials. Every cocktail is fifteen euros, thirteen without alcohol, and each is printed with its ingredients and a flavor profile: the Sencha builds gin with white chocolate and raspberry, the Heartbeat is the house reading of an espresso martini, and Mas Agave Por Favor stacks three agave spirits with melon under a soy sauce air. Open from seven every night but Sunday.
Logenhaus Bar is a cocktail bar at Finkenhofstraße 17 in Frankfurt's Nordend that introduces itself as a magical speakeasy. Its own motto promises splendid isolation and first-class cocktails in a fine vintage-salon atmosphere. Alongside the salon there is an intimate, partly covered city garden with a pavilion bar for the summer season. The list covers classic cocktails, alcohol-free versions included, as well as long drinks, coolers, wine, champagne, fine spirits and digestifs, with a rotating set of Logenhaus signature cocktails on top. The salon also hosts the occasional DJ dance night, and its rooms and garden can be hired for private events such as birthdays, weddings and company events.
Maingold sits at the top of the Zeil, Frankfurt's main shopping street, and describes itself as a relaxed living-room atmosphere in an appealingly cozy setting, which is a fair summary of a bar that opens at six on weeknights and takes table reservations by phone and online. It is an evening venue rather than a daytime one, closing at eleven midweek and stretching to one on Friday and Saturday, when doors open at four. Tuesday to Saturday only.
A cocktail bar and bistro bar in the center of Frankfurt, taking its name from the milk bar in A Clockwork Orange.
Roomers Bar is the bar of the Roomers hotel on Gutleutstraße, about five minutes on foot from Frankfurt's main station. The hotel describes its charm as burlesque, and the room plays the part with cozy niches, beguiling light and a dark, intimate mood. Under its 7 Days 7 DJs concept a different DJ plays every night of the week, and smoking is allowed. Among the house cocktails is the Seventy One Gibson, the bar's own take on a Martini with pearl onions and house bitters. Behind the bar run single malt Scotch, Japanese whisky, cognac and the Clase Azul tequila range, and a cigar menu offers curated cigar and spirit pairings.

Shuka Bar is the cocktail bar of the 25hours Hotel The Trip on Niddastrasse in Frankfurt, and it sums itself up as a classic cocktail bar meeting a Japanese amusement park. The current signature list includes Milk & Honey, a milk-clarified mix of whiskey, apple juice and thyme honey; the Tomatini, with olive-oil fat-washed gin, clarified tomato water and basil lemon cordial; and Fig & Feta, which tops tequila, lime and fig syrup with feta foam. Alcohol-free signatures such as Spicy Amba, with mango, turmeric and chili, sit alongside, and for classics the menu simply says to ask the bartender.
