What a great encounter this was..great cocktails….I tried a few but the hero was the Monkey Gin. A welcoming atmosphere from the beginning and fantastic staff at the bar …as I was alone they engaged and had an amazing chat. Don’t miss it when in Frankfurt

Had to face xenophobia and also all my clothes are now smelling smoke's cigarrete. Awful experience for an international city, mainly in a bar that should be representing inclusion and belonging. Definitely, never coming back. Ever.

My local Frankfurt friend dragged me here and so far the best bar that shares the name 'Central'! I love the dark mood & interior (red floor!) relax atmosphere and most importantly... best playlist! I wonder if they have a spotify playlist I could follow.

A favorite Frankfurt standby for decades. Mixed crowd of interesting people, excellent beers and cocktails. Fair prices. A few smokers but welll ventilated. A classic.
