Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Frankfurt are Apfelwein Wagner, naïv, and Gibson Club Afterwork. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Frankfurt is smaller than its skyline suggests, and full of people who moved here for work, so plenty of others are also looking for new friends. Locals can seem businesslike at first, but an apple wine tavern with shared tables loosens things up quickly.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, with a mix of ages, budgets and days of the week. Some events run on set dates only, so check before you go.

Apple wine tavernSachsenhausen€€All ages
A traditional apple wine tavern since 1931, open daily from 11:00 until midnight, where you sit at long wooden tables and drink Ebbelwoi from a stoneware jug. Sharing a table with strangers is part of the custom, which makes it one of the easiest places in Frankfurt to get talking.
