One of the oldest apple wine taverns in Sachsenhausen, with a 120 seat summer garden.
Zum Eichkatzerl is one of the oldest Apfelwein taverns in Sachsenhausen, set a little off the busy tavern row on Dreieichstrasse. It pairs house cider with Hessian cooking across an old paneled dining room, a side room, and a large summer garden.
This is the address for travelers who want a calmer cider night than the loudest Sachsenhausen halls, with the same traditional Apfelwein and Grie Sosse on the plate. It rewards a warm evening, when the 120 seat garden opens. Skip it if you want late night energy or cocktails. For more see our Frankfurt craft beer and cider guide and the best bars in Germany.
Zum Eichkatzerl sits on Dreieichstrasse in Sachsenhausen, a short walk off the main tavern row. Book the summer garden in warm months, when its 120 outdoor seats are the draw.
The tavern keeps 80 seats in the old dining room and 60 in a separate side room, with a 120 seat garden that opens in summer. The feel is traditional Sachsenhausen, wood and warmth, with the garden the clear prize in good weather.
Order the house Apfelwein by the Schoppen and take it pur or sour. The kitchen sends out Hessian classics, so pair a glass with Grie Sosse or Schnitzel. The list keeps to the local cider tradition rather than chasing rarities. Compare with craft beer near you and other Sachsenhausen taverns.
The crowd is Frankfurt regulars and visitors who want the traditional tavern without the loudest scrum. Evenings are the service window. Summer turns the garden into the main room.
