To anyone looking at the photos of beautiful cocktail creations - beware!
Came on a Wednesday night with some friends; no menu available so we ordered classic cocktails (margarita, old fashioned with rye) but the bar didn't have the ingredients. Instead of asking us for another order, they brought us something *like* what we ordered. I ended up sending my drink back because I didn't like it, and all I asked for was a glass of water. They brought me water and a glass of bubbles which I thought was a kind gesture. However, they of course charged me for the wine, and I wouldn't have accepted had I known they were going to charge me for a drink I didn't order.
From the moment we arrived the music was far too loud despite being the bar being fairly empty. There's no room to dance really, so the volume of the music didn't make much sense. It's very smoky inside which is also a drawback. Four or five staff behind the bar, most of them smoking while looking bored.
My friends had been fans of this bar for years, and they all agree it was a shadow of its former self. Disappointing, as the reviews and photos here paint such a different picture to the reality.
I give two stars because the pricing seems reasonable by Frankfurt cocktail bar standards, the toilets were clean, and the staff were friendly when you could get their attention.
