I love BrewDog beer and love their bars. I have visited them in Cardiff-Wales, London-England, Columbus-OH and now Frankfurt-Germany. Just found this in November 2021. I visit Frankfurt a couple times a year and usually stay near the Frankfurt main train station to be able to get in/out and it is a close walk to everything. The new BrewDog is on Kaiserstrasse a short walk from the train station (~5min). Check it out the next time you are in town. Here is their website link for more info. https://www.brewdog.com/eu_de/bars/global/Frankfurt

Zolf Apostel (12 Apostles) was the 2nd brewery I visited when in Frankfurt in August, 2019. Great beer and even got a tour of the beer cellar. I like to see these small breweries in Germany. You always have the large brewers but craft beer is becoming a thing now which is great. Check out […]

This was the first time I have checked out breweries while in Frankfurt, Germany. I had the chance the last time I visited in August, 2019 to visit BrauStil which is a microbrewery located just north of Frankfurt center. They have an outside biergarten and there beer was very good. Check out their website for […]

I had some time to kill waiting for a dinner meeting in Sachsenhausen (Frankfurt, Germany area) so I stopped into the Anglo Irish Pub for a couple of pints. Every place has an Irish pub including Germany. Nice authentic Irish pub with German and Irish beers on tap. I didn’t eat there but assume it […]

                  We visited the Struwwelpeter biergarten on a hot day at the end of May 2018 when we were spending the night in Frankfurt near the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main train  station).  Short taxi ride to this nice biergarten in the Sachsenhausen area across the Main river.  Map […]

First time to Yok Yok which is located a short walk from the Frankfurt Hbf.  I had a meeting in the area and my wife flew in to join me for an evening with my work colleagues (and to take the train to Paris the next day).  We stayed at the Townhouse Hotel close to […]

I have been traveling to Germany for about 20 years and this is the first “craft beer” bar I have been to that has a large selection of global draft and bottle beers.  We visited with some colleagues/friends from the Frankfurt area and sampled several beers.  I have noted the Untapp’d checkins’ below for reference. […]

Located in Sachsenhausen on the other side of the Main river from Frankfurt.  The place to go for schnitzel, “pickled pork knuckle”, and baked pork knuckle and of course, apple wine.   This place was recommended by a colleague who lives in Frankfurt.  Frankfurt and Sachsenhausen were busy the night we were there because the Frankfurt […]

The Bristol Bar is located in the Bristol Hotel in Frankfurt.  I visited with some work colleagues the FRI before my return flight to the US.  Nothing like international flying on a hang over.  The Bristol Bar is supposed to be the best mixology bar in Frankfurt.   Prior to arriving at the Bristol Bar we […]
