Batschkapp
In its 30-plus years of staging live bands, the 'Batsch' has seen 'em come, go, burn out, gloriously self-destruct or simply rust to dust. There are also club nights.

Jazzkeller
Look hard to find this place - a great jazz venue with mood - hidden in an alley parallel to Goethestrasse. This is where Frankfurt's jazz scene began, when legends like Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie popped by to play for beers and applause. Their legacy is kept alive by a new generation of musicians holding forth in the smoke-filled vaulted cellar packed with aficionados with a serious jazz ear.

King Kamehameha
A strapping Leonardo DiCaprio-type guy might dash out and unexpectedly plough the length of the ornamental pool (clothed, take note) - it's been known to happen here. And much more too, for 'KingKa' is legendary, with its own live club band Thursdays, dance beats on weekends, private rooms and that tempting watercourse in one bar. But while you're here, explore the yard and neighbouring buildings. In summer, the magic words will be 'Sansibar Roofgarden'.

Mampf
This place used to be a nosh house where apprentice butchers took their tipple. Today you'll hear great jazz sounds in this jazz club-cum-pub that has a lot of surprises up its sleeve, especially during sessions.
-
Sinkkasten
Smack bang in the city centre just off the Zeil, this is one of Frankfurt's oldest concert and dance venues, and you can't help but fall into it at some stage. Its low ceilings and cinema seats set the atmosphere for the jazz, funk and rock bands that play here. Friday and Saturday night discos attract 80s and Weather Girls freaks.
-
Stereo Bar
While only about the size of a 70s Hi-Fi the Stereo Bar has been a Frankfurt favourite for almost a decade. It is an eclectic little joint: depending on the night you can find yourself getting down to funk, soul or garage classics or busting out your best hip-hop moves. It's pleasantly off-beat and the drink prices are a tad lower than the usual Frankfurt Nachtklub.
