17 german spots in Sachsenhausen, editor-picked by TableJourney. All of Sachsenhausen's food · All german in Frankfurt.
Apfelwein Wagner ★ 4.6
Schweizer Strasse 71, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Apfelwein Wagner is the Sachsenhausen tavern Frankfurt sends first-timers to, pouring its own Ebbelwoi beside Grüne Soße plates daily since 1931.
Tip: No reservations for small groups at peak times; join the shared benches and the Bembel arrives without being asked.
Lorsbacher Thal ★ 4.6
Große Rittergasse 49, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Lorsbacher Thal treats apfelwein like a cellar wine in Frankfurt's Große Rittergasse, 300-plus bottlings deep in a tavern running since 1803.
Tip: Hessen a la carte member kitchen, so the food outclasses the average tavern; the barrel cellar tour is worth asking about.
Apfelwein Wagner ★ 4.6
Schweizer Strasse 71, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Apfelwein Wagner has poured its own Ebbelwoi on Frankfurt's Schweizer Strasse since 1931, with Schnitzel under Grüne Soße at long shared tables.
Tip: Handkäs mit Musik runs €5.10 and one Bembel feeds a table; expect to share benches with strangers on weekends.
Lorsbacher Thal ★ 4.6
Große Rittergasse 49, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Lorsbacher Thal in Frankfurt's Große Rittergasse has run since 1803 and keeps an apfelwein list of over 300 entries, aged in wooden barrels below.
Tip: This is where apfelwein gets the wine treatment; ask the host to pick three contrasting pours before you commit to a Bembel.
Zur Buchscheer ★ 4.5
Schwarzsteinkautweg 17, 60598 Frankfurt am Main
Zur Buchscheer is the Frankfurt tavern purists name first: apfelwein pressed on the premises since 1876, out in quiet leafy Sachsenhausen-Süd.
Tip: Weekends open at noon and fill with families; weekday evenings are when the regulars hold court under the trees.
Zum Gemalten Haus ★ 4.5
Schweizer Strasse 67, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Zum Gemalten Haus keeps the painted-parlour version of Frankfurt tavern culture alive on Schweizer Strasse, with Bembel service running since 1936.
Tip: Closed Monday and Tuesday, unlike its neighbours; the front Stube under the murals beats the back room for atmosphere.
Zum Gemalten Haus ★ 4.5
Schweizer Strasse 67, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Zum Gemalten Haus pours apfelwein in Geripptes under painted murals on Schweizer Strasse in Frankfurt, a Sachsenhausen tavern running since 1936.
Tip: Two doors from Wagner, so compare Bembel pours in one evening; the murals inside date to the founding family.
Fichtekränzi ★ 4.5
Wallstraße 5, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Fichtekränzi has poured apfelwein under a braided spruce wreath on Frankfurt's Wallstraße since 1849, one of Sachsenhausen's oldest tavern rooms.
Tip: Cash or EC card only, no credit cards; the courtyard garden is first-come, so arrive before 18:30 in summer.
Zur Buchscheer ★ 4.5
Schwarzsteinkautweg 17, 60598 Frankfurt am Main
Zur Buchscheer has pressed sharp, full-bodied apfelwein on site in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen since 1876, in a garden well off the pub-crawl route.
Tip: It sits in residential Sachsenhausen-Süd, fifteen minutes from the tavern strip, which is exactly why the pours stay honest.
Dauth-Schneider ★ 4.3
Neuer Wall 5-7, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Dauth-Schneider feeds the Klappergasse corner of Frankfurt's tavern quarter from 11:30 daily, a Bembel house pouring on this corner since 1850.
Tip: Its long daily hours make it the fallback when smaller taverns close; the terrace under the trees seats big groups easily.
Atschel ★ 4.3
Wallstraße 7, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Atschel on Wallstraße is Frankfurt's neighbourly apfelwein room, reopened in autumn 2023 with 120 seats inside and a hundred more in the garden.
Tip: It sits next door to Fichtekränzi, so treat Wallstraße as a two-stop tavern crawl; no sports screens, by house policy.
Zum Eichkatzerl ★ 4.3
Dreieichstraße 29, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Zum Eichkatzerl on Dreieichstraße feeds Frankfurt oversized schnitzel and apfelwein in a garden courtyard away from Sachsenhausen's tourist lanes.
Tip: Evenings only and closed Sunday; locals book the courtyard for birthdays, so reserve ahead for groups of six or more.
Dauth-Schneider ★ 4.3
Neuer Wall 5-7, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Dauth-Schneider anchors the Klappergasse corner of Frankfurt's Brückenviertel, an all-day apfelwein tavern pouring from stoneware Bembel since 1850.
Tip: One of the few taverns serving from 11:30 daily, so it is the lunch move; the tree-shaded terrace fills first.
Franziska ★ 4.2
Hainer Weg 72, 60599 Frankfurt am Main
Franziska cooks progressive German vintage dishes on Hainer Weg in Frankfurt, family recipes rebuilt with modern technique, open every night.
Tip: Seven-night service makes it the Sunday answer in Sachsenhausen; Fridays run to 01:00 for a slow second bottle.
Ebbelwoi Unser ★ 4.2
Abtsgäßchen 8, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Ebbelwoi Unser is the young Sachsenhausen tavern on Abtsgäßchen where Frankfurt regulars actually drink, open evenings until midnight or later.
Tip: The name is a pun on the Lord's Prayer; it runs later than the old guard, so end a tavern crawl here rather than start.
Franziska ★ 4.2
Hainer Weg 72, 60599 Frankfurt am Main
Franziska rereads German home cooking on Hainer Weg in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen, a Michelin Guide listed dining room open all seven nights.
Tip: One of the few polished rooms serving Sunday night; book via SevenRooms and ask for the courtyard side in summer.
Apfelwein Dax ★ 4.1
Willemerstraße 11, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Apfelwein Dax on Willemerstraße keeps Sachsenhausen tavern hours seven days a week, feeding Frankfurt schnitzel and Grüne Soße until late evening.
Tip: Open daily from noon, rare among the taverns, so it catches the Sunday and Monday gaps the older houses leave.
