Let go of your week's stress and revel in the vibrant atmosphere of Gibson. In a short time since its establishment in 2012, this club has risen to become of the best in Frankfurt am Main's night scene. A line-up of internationally renowned DJs and live performances, add the spunk to this place. Housing three bars and a lounge area, visitors are provided with spaces to take a break from all the dancing, rest their aching feet and sip on drinks.

Charming and down to earth, Schwejk is one of the city's most interesting gay bars. It is an institution in Frankfurt and there's always a friendly feel, with plenty going on. The atmosphere at weekend is great, but it's worth coming to this rustic bar during the week too. Schwejk is redecorated according to the season, and not just during the carnival and Christmas period. Themed parties, fun events and a host of other daily specials keep the locals coming back for more.

A trendy bar painted in blue and black, illuminated by dim lighting, and with soft background music, Central is a popular meeting point for gay intellectuals and beautiful young things, as well as artists and students. The best thing to drink is a Caiphirina, a strong cocktail made of lime juice, sugar and rum. Unfortunately, the bar is not easy to find as Elefantengasse is a small alley hidden away behind Alte Gasse. Happy hour is from 8p-9p.
