About this place Metropol

Metropol on Schäfergasse is one of Frankfurt's longest-running gay bars — a two-floor venue in the city centre that has maintained its place in the scene through multiple changes in Frankfurt's nightlife landscape. The ground floor bar is a standard gay pub format: good beers, a jukebox or DJ, comfortable seating and a crowd that includes both regulars and visitors. The upper floor hosts events and has more space for dancing. The Schäfergasse location is in central Frankfurt, accessible on foot from the Hauptwache and the Zeil shopping street, putting it in the most easily navigable part of the city for first-time visitors. Regular events include drag nights, themed party evenings, and community gatherings. Metropol is not Frankfurt's most glamorous gay bar but it is among its most reliable — always open, consistently friendly, and useful as both a starting point and a destination.

A diverse menu, both Hessian and international. Very friendly and professional service. We've eaten there regularly over the years; the high quality has remained consistent, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. I would highly recommend it!

I didn't enjoy it. I was there on a Sunday afternoon from 2 pm. The café was packed and incredibly noisy due to the huge space. Unfortunately, the service wasn't very friendly either. They were probably stressed by the noise level. Enjoying a relaxing coffee was out of the question!

I was looking for something more local than touristy, and this is it. Friendly staff. Great food! Lovely outlook. Noisy but that’s cause people were enjoying themselves. Toilets downstairs so doubt there’s an accessible option. I got the Weiner schnitzel with potatoes, green sauce and an awesome ginger lemonade!

I visited the Metropol again today, a lovely place in Frankfurt. The elderflower spritzer was delicious! The fitness salad was very attractively and colorfully presented, but the chicken breast I ordered with it was very pale and tasted bland. I had specifically asked beforehand if it would be cooked, which they confirmed. A shame! There wasn't enough dressing for the salad, but it was much better after I ordered more. For dessert, I had panna cotta with strawberries... The panna cotta was fine, but I had more blueberries than strawberries on my plate. For the price, I had hoped and expected more. All in all, I had a pleasant time there.
