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 flavour 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.
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 cosy 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 centre of Frankfurt, taking its name from the milk bar in A Clockwork Orange.
A small bar on the Mainkai, the road along the river in the old town, and the name is a fair description of the room.
A bar on Moselstrasse in the Bahnhofsviertel, the quarter behind Frankfurt's main station that has become the city's drinking district.
