An elegant cafe, bar, and restaurant beside the Stadel Museum on Frankfurt's Museumsufer.
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.
Holbein's sits beside the Stadel Museum on the Museumsufer. Come for a daytime coffee and bistro plate, or book the evening, when it shifts to a restaurant and bar. Closed Mondays.
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.
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 is museum visitors and a Frankfurt set who treat it as a smart riverside stop. Days are calm and cultural. Evenings draw a dinner crowd, and weekends fill, so book ahead.
