The Kinly Bar

A friend of mine recommended this bar as it won some awards. But based on my experience, I highly do NOT recommend this place because of its NON-PROFESSIONAL nature. You had to ring the bell before you came in, which made me think this should be an excellent niche bar -- now I realized I was 200% wrong. First, no air conditioner, felt like over 30℃ inside. Second, their quality was far from a professional bar. I started with a Gin u0026 Kinly house tonic -- not too bad, but also not refreshing enough, given that I was in a "Sauna room". Every professional bartender should understand the importance of temperature to a cocktail; but I was surprised they didn't do anything to MATCH their insane room temperature. The second drink -- also my last one -- the GUISO, was not balanced at all: too heavy cherry flavor, not enough alcohol suppression (the dilution was not correct). I don't believe any professional bartender can serve this drink to their customers. It went better after 10 min -- obviously now the dilution became a bit correct -- but still I didn't think the recipe was an outstanding one. Perhaps this bar changed after winning awards; perhaps the bartender who made my drink was an unprofessional freshman. But anyway it gave me such a bad experience that I never had before.

The place has got a very good reputation in the city, but, sorry, I don't understand why!? Yes, there is an exciting list of creative cocktails and this is the only positive point. The quality and portion is not really acceptable compared to expensive prices. The volume of alcohol was not satisfying. Ambiance is a disaster; too dark and hot - no air conditioner. Let's not mention the location!

This was an outstanding drinking experience. You’ll find no classic receipts on the menu, only individual creations. Excellent attentive service and a very relaxed atmosphere, much different from what you usually have in Frankfurt.
This place is a must go if you have the opportunity (and find the entry, of course) and want to explore more serious drinking.

My boyfriend and I visited the bar this Saturday and the only bad thing is that we haven’t found out about this bar before. We went there expecting good drinks but what we got was a total experience. We were both mind blown by the drinks and couldn’t stop ordering it as we were surprised every time by the flavor combination. The staff was also super friendly.
I can only recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!! The best bar we’ve ever been to!!

I have been to many amazing cocktail bars in many places across the globe. The quality and spirit of service is outstanding here. The conversation and mood superb. The drinks themselves are perfectly made, imaginative and delicious.

I mean, what can you say about this place? It's incredible. Best cocktail I have had maybe ever? Exceptional service. The staff is really wanting you to have a great experience. You can order from a small menu or give them your preferred drink style and see what they come up with. It's not cheap, and people can smoke inside, but it is such a unique experience. Cannot explain how good the drinks were. Just go.
And: you will probably get lost the first time going. It is a pretty dodgy area, so check Google images first to get an idea of what the door looks like. That will help you not freak out on your way! Thanks Kinly for some great memories!!

Way to hot inside. Bartenders are very arrogant. Drinks are okay but have their price. In my opinion there are better places to go.
