What to Expect on This Pub Crawl
This tour offers an energetic, social way to experience Frankfurt after hours. You’ll meet your friendly guide outside Stevedoo—an inviting starting point that sets a relaxed tone. Once gathered, your guide, who has been leading tours since 2008, will give a quick rundown before you start exploring. Expect a warm greeting with a complimentary alcohol shot, breaking the ice and setting a lively mood.
The tour unfolds over 4 hours, during which you’ll visit multiple venues—each carefully selected to showcase different facets of Frankfurt’s nightlife. The stops are all “secret” locations, but with a guided tour, you won’t need to worry about finding them. The guide will ensure you get the full experience, sharing insider tips and local stories along the way.
The Venues: Diverse Atmospheres and Unique Vibes
While the exact venues are kept under wraps beforehand, reviews and descriptions suggest you’ll enjoy a variety of bar environments. Some stops might be casual pubs perfect for chat, while others could be more vibrant, geared toward a party atmosphere. The key is that each spot offers a different vibe, so your night remains dynamic and interesting.
What’s particularly appealing is the benefit of skip-the-line club entry. If your group decides to extend the night, you can seamlessly move into a club without waiting, making this experience a true night out rather than just bar hopping.
The Shots and the Social Element
One of the standout features is the included shots at every venue. Starting with a welcome shot at the meeting point, you’ll then enjoy one free alcohol shot at each of the four stops. This not only adds a playful element but encourages mingling and conversation among your group and with locals. Several reviewers mention that the shots are a fun icebreaker and that the guide often encourages friendly interactions.
