Top Live music venues in Frankfurt, Germany

Der kleine Club mit grossem Programm. Hier spielen Bands aller Stilrichtungen, bei denen man sich nicht erklären kann, warum sie (noch) nicht in den großen Hallen spielen. Vermutlich ist das nur eine Frage der Zeit und man bekommt bald keine Gelegenheit mehr, so hautnah dran zu sein. Wer zum Beispiel das Glück hatte, Kabinett auf ihrer Blackout Tour hier zu erleben und zu feiern, weiss was ich meine.
Zudem überzeugt der Ponyhof mit zivilen Preisen, netter Atmosphäre, freundlichem Personal und einem guten Sound.

Mega Örtlichkeit für kleine Club Konzerte und angenehme Subkultur (zumindest bei Liebhabern von Heavy Metal). Macht viel Spaß dort.

das ist einfach nur kultig, was kann ich anderes sagen... kleine Konzerte auf Tuchfühlung mit dem Künstler, einfach nur großartig

Süßer kleiner Club mit viel intimer Atmosphäre. Freundlich und sehr authentisch in stimmiger Umgebung.

Unser absoluter Favorit! Geniale Musik, super Tanzfläche, coole Leute und die allerbesten und freundlichsten Türsteher! Wir kommen wieder!

Overall, Zoom is a nice club in Frankfurt, but I'm still very disappointed. I paid €40 for the event last weekend for Brutalism 3000, the event was already over at 12pm? I don't think this is a fair price as it ended so early and we all had to clear the dance floor immediately, there was the option to spend another 5€ on another event but that wasn't an option for us. We also waited more than 20 minutes to be served at the bar.

Where to begin, concert would start at 20:00, and needed to wait in line 30 minutes roughly on top of that another 15 for the garderobe, and pay 2 euro per jacket/sweater and 50cents for scarf. Getting a drink is easily 4-8euro and you get 'pfand' coins, but when you want to exchange them you just get charge the full price. There were signs that said NO SMOKING, yet people were smoking all over the place.

Der Club hat natürlich schon irgendwie Kultstatus. Ist eher klein. Das macht mir persönlich nichts aus. Im Gegenteil: Ich finde die großen Clubs nicht so toll. Die Getränkepreise sind echt human und 7 Euro Eintritt bei Parties finde ich auch nicht zuviel. Gaderobe kostet 1 Euro. Die Einrichtung ist eher einfach gehalten. Die sanitären Einrichtungen fand ich in Ordnung. Da habe ich schon Schlimmeres gesehen in Alt-Sachsenhausen. Als wir da waren war 80er, 90er, 2000er und aktuelle Pophits Party. Anfangs war die Musik nicht so mein Geschmack. Wurde dann aber deutlich besser.

The bands they are bringing are amazing. The atmosphere is movielike, the lighting and the decoration are amazing, the old sweet owner is the master of cocktails and the rest of the service are very kind and sweet. A place one must visit!

Nice club, Terrible service. It will take you around 30 to 40 minutes to get a drink. You cant have a club this big and well equipped and then have a bar this small and inefficient. You will spend AT LEAST an average of one hour an a half just getting drinks.

Kleiner Club mitten in Altsax, parken im Parkhaus in der Nähe moglich. Ich war mit einer Freundin zu einem kleinen , feinen Konzert dort. Der Sound war gut, die Bands sowieso und es
gab eine gute Auswahl an Getränken. Immer wieder gerne.

Great place, cosy and small place. Jazz Performans available 1-2 days of week. If you would like to feel like a real local jazz lover, I significantly suggest place.

Super tolle Event Location!

Wow, what a hidden gem. Run by a senior couple, small, cramped, and wonderful ... you get to talk to people.

Ein Frankfurter Original in Alt Sachsenhausen. Cooler, kleiner Club, wir waren für ein Konzert dort und haben es sehr genossen. Es war voll und trotzdem war es angenehm. Netter Service, gute Getränke, uriges Ambiente. Toller Ort!

Wonderful staff, great music venue! Wide selection of cocktails and beer! Would love to visit again!

Very chill bar with great live music. Can’t comment on the food because we just had drinks while listening to the band. Not for big parties. Just a few small tables and some seats at the bar. Highly recommended!

Overall OK, but queues for drinks can be a bit tedious. The additional 'hop' needed to get between the city centre and venue makes public transport very awkward if you live outside Frankfurt and need a connecting train after the concert.

Entrance: 8€ per head for an old guy playing music on a bad sound system, with a few people just sitting around and drinking overpriced drinks.

It can’t even be called a pub (they call it a club) with small space and bad music. Never coming back ever again. I thought a live rock/metal band was playing but no! A guy just putting bad music.

Went to the grandson concert there. The venue is amazing and the sound was incredible. We were really impressed with the modern and sorta futuristic interior design. Loved it. I will definitely visit future events there.

Never will I forget the day I entered this place. Nice Hall, good security. Top notch and a standard Club. It is also for hiring as well.

Best Rock Club in Frankfurt, I am going there since many years.
No diet there possibly, but good dancing.

Friendly staff, well organised, reasonable prices, great infrastructure as in parking and public transport. The toilets were clean and well maintained. Overall really great venue!

The dj is awesome. Was nice to hear 80s retro and synthetic pop.

Concerts at the Batschkapp are always awesome! Much better than in the Festhalle, as the sound is much better. Always a pleasure to be there 🤘🏻

Nice food, the location is in a nice and quiet neighborhood.

Very nice small place for concerts! Good food nearby too for after you are done with the party

Okkulele DEATH Squat

Went here for the weeknd afterparty yesterday, he wasn’t there they just played some of his music. It was really unorganized. In the middle of the night they stopped the music and asked people to go to the other side of the club , and then they had us go back to the original side of the club . It was super weird. The VIP section was a waste of money , they didn’t even have bottles available to purchase. Whoever managed this event should stay away from planning . Even the security guards felt the event was terrible , overall I probably wouldn’t come back here again.

Was pretty good to be fair though the queue for food/drinks is tediously slow due to lack of serving staff.

Beautiful cozy bar with live music! The bar tender definitely knows how to mix a good drink and he is very friendly!

Nice location but smoking was tolerated inside. Which I found unpleasent.

Been there for a concert recently (Kadavar). Still the nice Sven Väth Cocoon Club style, cool sound and effective climate control 👍 Go there!

It was fun.
Cool atmosphere with loud rock music.
The entrance fee was 5€ per person.
What i don't like was the indoor smoking. Went home smell like an ashtray.

Awesome venue, thoughtfully planned with two entrances to the "gig room", closed smoking area with bar and toilets. Pizza "window" 👌 great for snacking. Several places to get drinks from so cues are always short. Sound was superb. Twin Line arrays, which is a little weird to se them side by side but I guess they run bass and vocals on one and drums with guitars for example on the other. Sound was loud but not annoying. Kadavar and graveyard also delivered a unique performance.

Nice place for concert. It could have been located in more central location but whatever. It is OK.
0.4 liter beer for 4.5 Euro. :)

Nice room, didn't open up raised section which would have opened up several tables and chairs and allowed better view of stage. Parking is not available near the venue.

Got to witness two of the greatest musicians ever to exist. Loved the venue and the service provided by them. Security detail on point, facility to provide our coats was much needed and delivered , and the attention to the fans was spot on especially when one of the viewers had a slight inconvenience who was quickly attended to by security. Absolutely amazing experience and hands down one of the best nights of my life. Unforgettable 💯

Wonderful food, wonderful service, great atmosphere! We went to see the band "Word Up" and the music was AMAZING!!! Thank you Mosaik Bar!!❤🎶🥂🎉

The bar might be small and humble, but it's a wonderful place for music lovers to spend a cozy weekend evening. Amazing performances, great drinks, great food, and very friendly owners.

This place is such a great time. It is cash only and usually about 15 euro to get in and coat check is around the same.

They have a variety of drinks and with the drinks you have a token to get a few dollars back. Almost like a pfand.

Try and make it on one of their throw back nights. That's when I went and it made the night one to remember.

Batschkapp is a location for events, concerts and much more.
Located in the industrial area, there are enough parking spaces.
The security was nice and the entry process went smoothly.
The sound was super good ☺️

Annual staff Christmas party is always a hit! Great food and atmosphere

Went there this Halloween for the Afro/Hip hop night. The vibe was very nice and the people were as well. Drinks were kinda on the pricey side (it is Frankfurt after all). I payed 4,50€ for a shot and 9€ for a long drink. Bathrooms usable free of charge and clean. Can’t wait to go again!

Nice concert place.
You can buy your drink at the place. 4.5 Euro for a 50cl beer.
It is forbidden to bring your drink inside. There is a security check.
Outside there are some street food options. Easy to reach using U-bahn.

The Cave is one of the most appreciated and long lasting clubs in Frankfurt. You will always meet nice people and have time for a chat, while you enjoy a nice drink and listen to rock music as well as nu-metal, trash, etc.

Either you sit down or you go on the dance floor and move your body. You'll definitely have a lot of fun here.

The whole crew is very nice and hard working. The bar team greats you with a smile, serves fast and has some special offers when it comes to new drinks, e. g. shots that taste like chili or cinnamon. The security is always helpful and supports you, so that everyone can feel save and enjoy the party.

It has everything to be a nice place but something is just off. The staff is nice, the bouncer is always very agressive but in the end you can have a decent night if you are drunk enough to enjoy it. There are plenty of other places with a better vibe, and as for the rock scene, playing german hits from the 70s its not really a thing. Sorry 2 starts for the effort of being a decent place but clearly it's not.

The bread factory in the Hausen district of Frankfurt am Main is a self-governing facility in a former bread factory. Eleven projects share almost 1500 square meters.

In addition to two stages, there is a large event hall, two bars, three psychosocial projects, an advertising agency and a studio.
The bread factory at Bachmannstraße 4 was founded in 1888 under the management of Louis Lantz and Louis Hoffmann. After 1924 it merged with the Hausen bread factory, previously known as the flour and bread factory GmbH. The two companies brought in useful items such as machines, implements and horses that were essential to the continued existence of the factory. After the merger, the new company name was United Hausener Brotfabriken AG.

The Frankfurter Zeitung reported in 1939 that the Vereinigte Hausener Brotfabriken AG was converted into a partnership. The new company owner continued the business under Vereinigte Brotfabrik Erich L. Fuchs. In the factory's heyday, 90 bakers and servants were employed.

After the end of the war in 1948 an application was submitted to the local court for conversion into an open commercial company (OHG). The founders of the OHG were Messrs. J. Scheld and C. Fuchs. There are no further reports until 1955, only that the application for an OHG was revised by the two gentlemen. Mr. J. Schütten from Bad Homburg vor der Höhe stepped in as his successor. The last pastry was baked on April 15, 1972. On October 10, 1973, the company was deleted from the commercial register.

In 1975, a carpet dealer took over the property for 60 years as a leaseholder. However, a planned carpet warehouse with an administration building could not be realized and the contract was terminated prematurely.

In 1980, a small group of young people from Frankfurt's spontaneous scene took the initiative, and the bread factory welcomed its guests to the opening on March 6, 1981. The "Market and Cultural Center Society for the Use of the Former House Bread Factory", or "Muk" for short, then organized theatre, concerts and other things with several sub-groups. Financial difficulties led to bankruptcy in 1994.

From 1995 to 2005, the association “Kultur in der Brotfabrik e. V.” (now “musikglobal”) organizer of jazz and world music concerts in the hall; he left the site after long arguments.

In 2000, the "Theater Primadonna/Schwerer Held" and the "P.U.T. Event Stage" were added with further cultural enrichments. In August 2005 the association “Kulturprojekt 21 e. V.” with the Wikimania party its cultural program. The Frankfurt Authors' Theater has been based there since 2007.

The sponsoring association has been Brotfabrik Hausen e. V. It was founded as the successor to "MuK" by the users of the site at the time. The assumption of a general rental contract and extensive renovations secured the existence of the center in the long term.

At the beginning of 2022 it became known that the owners had plans to sell the bread factory to an investor who intends to demolish the bread factory and build apartments in its place.[1] Negotiations are said to be well advanced. In March 2022, Markus Harzenetter, President of the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, determined after an inspection that the bread factory can be classified as a cultural monument.[

A fantastic venue,beautiful audience and great staff too.A pleasure to play there 😎🇿🇦🎺

This is one of my hidden gems of Frankfurt. I come here often. The owner loves music and you can feel that vibe in the room. Most Fridays and Saturdays there is live music. The quality of the performances varies from so-so to very good. Bar service can be slow due to the old man owner doing it basically by himself. But that's part of its charm. It's a place where music lovers gather.

Great music, decent prices and the venue is well maintained. The staff were friendly and took the time to understand me even on a busy Friday night.

The location is in central Frankfurt so it's easy to have a meal and drinks elsewhere first before ending the night (and starting the morning!) here.

Historical building in the heart of the Hausen district of Frankfurt. Venue for small cultural events. Good food at reasonable prices. Can also be booked for private events.
