""Drinksmith Bar" is one of my local favorite bars in Frankfurt. I know I can come here & always have an IPA draught. Very international clientele, too..."

Old Sachsenhausen is starting to see a mini revolution in terms of its bar scene. The area has traditionally been a hotbed for bachelor parties and cheap drinks establishments, but there’s a new initiative to offer more than a haven for late-night binge drinkers.

One of the bars that’s really spurred the movement is Drinksmith, a lovely cocktail and craft beer bar located on one of Sachsenhausen’s hipper streets. 

The owners of Drinksmith have transformed what was once a run-down and decrepit bar into a charming local with a nice assortment of drinks on hand. It’s one of the few places in Sachsenhausen where I know I can always have an IPA on draught, and I like the fact that the clientele are usually very international. The staff is very friendly and they’re all quite adept when it comes to whipping up a good cocktail.

I’d recommend Drinksmith if you’re looking for an alternative to the more “rustic” dive bars of the “Alt-Sachs” neighborhood.  It’s one of my local favorites.

Why Frankfurt Frankfurt offers everything you would look for from a large city, just on a smaller scale. It's a city I continue to explore and is constantly changing. I never have a problem getting a table at most restaurants, and it's rather affordable compared to the rest of the big banking cities. It's surrounded by a green belt of nature and parks, and is the launching ...
