O'Reilly's holds the corner opposite Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof with pints until 03:00 on Saturdays, the traveller's last and first stop in the station district.

YALDY is the Bahnhofsviertel's late kitchen of record, Bib Gourmand plates and cocktails on Moselstraße until 02:00 at the weekend, kitchen included.

Franziska serves seven nights until midnight or later on Hainer Weg, Sachsenhausen's dependable answer for a proper dinner started late in the evening.

naïv pours craft taps on Fahrgasse until 01:00, the Altstadt's late room for one considered beer more after everything else shuts for the night.
Try: Craft beer flights after the kitchen winds down
Tip: Kitchen closes at 23:00 but the taps do not; the pizzeria next door covers late hunger for as long as its own queue holds out.
