The Pitch

Waxy's is a family run Irish bar on Taubenstrasse in the Frankfurt Innenstadt, a short walk from Hauptwache, serving since 2006. It is a central, easygoing pub built around draught beer, sport, and the occasional live session rather than a craft list.

This is the choice for a reliable city center pint close to the shopping core and the station district. It rewards anyone who wants Irish pub basics done well. Skip it if you are after cocktails or a quiet room. For the wider scene see our Frankfurt pubs guide and the best bars in Germany.

The Room

The bar keeps the standard Irish pub fit out, dark wood and a long counter, with room for a crowd on a match night or a session. It is compact and central, the kind of place that fills fast on a Friday. The family run feel and a welcoming team are what reviewers come back to, more than any single drink on the board.

The Drinks

Order a pint of stout or a draught and a shot of Irish whiskey, the house basics. The kitchen runs pub food and a lunch service for the city center crowd. The point here is a dependable pour, not a rare one. Compare with gastropubs near you and other Frankfurt pubs.

The Crowd and Vibe

The crowd is office workers, shoppers, and travelers staying central, with sports fans in on fixture nights. It is busiest after work and on match days, when the central location near Hauptwache pulls a steady stream off the Zeil. Lunch and early afternoons are calmer.
