Tip: It is the meeting point before deciding on the real destination, and often the night stays right there until 01:00.
Address: Zeil 1, 60313 Frankfurt am Main
GRETA OTO's bar pours pisco and Latin American cocktails from 10:00 daily on Thurn-und-Taxis-Platz, central Frankfurt's easiest good drink before dinner.
Signature drink: Pisco sour at the all-day bar
Tip: The bar takes walk-ins when the dining room is fully booked; a ceviche at the counter is a complete evening in miniature.
Café Größenwahn has been the Nordend's talking bar since 1978, wine and daily plates on a Frankfurt corner that never modernised on purpose.
Signature drink: House wine amid four decades of Nordend debate
Tip: Arrive at 16:00 for a table and stay through dinner; the room's history as a queer and activist hub is the atmosphere.
Ebbelwoi Unser is the apfelwein tavern that drinks like a bar, Sachsenhausen's young crowd holding tables in Frankfurt until 01:00 most nights.
Signature drink: A Bembel of Ebbelwoi, pure or gespritzt
Tip: Order the Bembel and settle in; this is the tavern to treat as a night out rather than a dinner stop.

OOSTEN's terrace under the old harbour crane doubles as Frankfurt's best riverside drinks deck, skyline sundowners over the Main every clear evening.
Signature drink: A sundowner on the harbour-crane terrace
Tip: Drinks-only guests do best on the upper deck; time it for the hour before sunset and let the ECB tower do the lighting.
Wunderbar is Höchst's bar as well as its cafe, pouring until midnight among half-timbered lanes on Frankfurt's western edge, last orders near midnight.
Signature drink: An evening beer in Höchst's old town
Tip: After the kitchen closes at 21:00 the front room becomes the district's living room; last S-Bahn back runs well past midnight.
The Tiny Cup mixes cocktails below Seven Swans in Frankfurt's narrowest house on the Mainkai, the starred kitchen's after-hours sibling and equal in craft.
Signature drink: Seasonal cocktails from the Seven Swans team
Tip: Squeeze in before or after a Seven Swans booking; the seasonal menu leans on the same permaculture farm as the restaurant.
