Bar Review: The Parlour

Where: 2 good 2 tell you ;-)

When: Thursday 8th November

Following dinner at Buena Vista, my lovely friend and I decided one more drink was needed to acccompany our girly chats. In Frankfurt on a Thursday evening there really was only one venue to consider, the super stylish Parlour. 

Managed by Yared Hagos Fassahan, this really is the place to drink and I expect to be seen drinking. 

Down a random street, we were greeted by a non-descript door and a door mat reading Ring, Knock, Shout, Wait. Yared himself opened up and greeted us warmly, he took our coats and personally excourted us to a table. 

Fantastic! I hadn't even had a drink and I was so very very impressed. Finding service this good in Germany (sorry people) is simply unheard of! 

The bar itself is dark, cosy and was already busy. However, we were lucky to get a booth in the corner which seemed to be where all the other 'descerning ladies of Frankfurt' were who "fancied just one more after dinner drink" 

The waiter arrived and asked us what we fancied, no menus here simply say "urrr... Gin?" and he asks do you like Basilicum???? "ok, yes why not" and about 5mins later a Gin beverage extrodinare arrives. Again; Fantastic!

A little tip: If you see the bike in front of the entrance, you’re welcome to come in!
