Holbein's

An elegant cafe, bar, and restaurant beside the Stadel Museum on Frankfurt's Museumsufer.

★ 4.3 $$$ Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt A drink on the Museumsufer

The Pitch

Holbein's occupies an elegant glass pavilion beside the Stadel Museum on the Museumsufer, the south bank museum row. It opened in 1999, reopened with a redesigned interior and a new concept in 2012, and runs as a cafe by day and a restaurant and bar by night.

This is the address for a cocktail or a glass of wine with a museum and a riverbank rather than a tavern bench. It rewards a pause between galleries or a proper dinner with a drink to start. Skip it if you want a cheap pint or a late night club. For more see our Frankfurt cocktail bars guide and the best bars in Germany.

The Room

The pavilion is light and modern, with a bar, a dining room, and a terrace that faces the museum grounds. By day it works as a cafe with bistro cooking. In the evening the lights drop and it becomes a restaurant and bar with a more demanding kitchen.

The Drinks

Start at the bar with a cocktail or a glass from the wine list, then move to bistro plates or the evening menu. The mix of museum setting and a real bar makes it a useful first stop on the Museumsufer. Closed Mondays, so plan around that. Compare with cocktail bars near you and other Frankfurt cocktail bars.

The Crowd and Vibe
