Jazzkeller

Frankfurt am Main


Check out the walls for photos of jazz greats who’ve played at this venue since it opened in 1952. In addition to concerts, there are jam sessions on Wednesdays, and DJs on Fridays, with dancing to Latin, funk and soul. It's hidden away in a cellar across from Goethestrasse 27.
