Where: Rote Bar, Mainkai 7
When: Sunday - Thursday 21:00 - 01:00 Uhr, Fr & Sa 21:00 - 02:00 Uhr
With no sign and just a slight red glow through one small window, die Rote Bar is not the easiest place to find, however a group of people patiently ringing a bell and waiting on a doorstep alerted me to the location.
Of course on a Friday night it's also not the place to go in a group unless you've booked in advance or arrived early and even then the seating arrangements aren't exactly generous. However considered to serve the best cocktails in Frankfurt, it's been an overdue visit. The "Hubbard"- a blend of Rum, Lime, Ginger Liqueur and Lemon juice certainly didn't disappoint. Strong yes, but you could still savour all the flavours.
The old fashioned decor and extremely smart bar staff, think bow ties, do create a certain vibe but I can't help but feel that this place needs a feminine touch... perhaps a little something to soften the look and a few more bar stools wouldn't hurt!
Great concept and yes first class cocktails but a little too frayed around the edges for my taste...
