I would say the only dedicated gay bar in Frankfurt - it offers a strong sense of community. Seeing the same familiar faces again and again makes it feel like a home somehow. That said, getting a table can be challenging. Reservations aren’t available, and between 9:00 PM and midnight—especially on weekends—don’t even hope to find a seat. The restroom is quite small. The bartenders are so very much amazing—friendly, charming, and always welcoming—and the drinks are outstanding. Their cocktails are among the best in Frankfurt. A must-visit for great vibes, strong community energy, and exceptional drinks.

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.

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.

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
