Address: Fahrgasse 4, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Rote Bar keeps a red-velvet cocktail salon above Frankfurt's Mainkai, nightly from 20:00, three doors from the narrowest house in town at Mainkai 4.
Signature drink: Classic cocktails in a red-velvet salon
Tip: It opens when the riverbank empties; the four-hour nightly window keeps the room civilised rather than chaotic.
YALDY doubles as the Bahnhofsviertel's most relaxed cocktail room in Frankfurt, Bib Gourmand snacks backing the drinks until 02:00 at weekends.
Signature drink: House cocktails beside the natural wine list
Tip: Order food early and drink late; the kitchen's shared plates outclass every other bar menu on the street.
Balalaika packs live music into a candlelit Sachsenhausen room on Schifferstraße, Frankfurt's tiny late bar with a cult following and no closing hurry.
Signature drink: Whatever pairs with a singalong at 01:00
Tip: Come after the taverns close; the room holds a few dozen people and the music is whatever the night produces.
Klapper 33 is the Klappergasse Kneipe that outlasts every Frankfurt tavern night, pouring until 05:00 at the weekend, cash in hand and jukebox on.
Signature drink: A late beer among the last standing
Tip: The crowd is whoever survived Sachsenhausen's evening; cash, smoke and no pretensions whatsoever.

Bar Shuka brings Tel Aviv nights to Frankfurt's Niddastraße, mezze and arak cocktails running to midnight in the Bahnhofsviertel every night.
Signature drink: Arak cocktails with Tel Aviv-style mezze
Tip: Evenings are the point; the same room does hotel breakfast by day, so do not judge it before 19:00.
Plank runs Elbestraße from morning espresso to 02:00 cocktails, the Bahnhofsviertel's all-day room that helped gentrify the block one bar at a time.
Signature drink: Espresso by day, house cocktails after dark
Tip: Daytime it is a cafe with laptops; by 22:00 the same counter is one of the street's most reliable bars.
