What reviewers say

Visitors praise Bar Central for its good, chill vibe, nice cocktails, and friendly, engaging staff that create a welcoming atmosphere and a strong sense of community. However, a significant complaint is that smoking is allowed inside, which some find diabolical and leads to clothes smelling of smoke, with one reviewer also experiencing xenophobia. Getting a table can also be challenging, especially on weekends.

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.

It's rare that I've been served celery with my favorite cocktail. Usually, it only comes with cucumber (which doesn't belong there). Thank you so much! Excellent service! The atmosphere is fantastic too!
