Lunchtime and quiet, friendly welcome from the two other customers who were happy for me to take a photo of the classic unspoilt interior. I can't remember the last time I went to a pub with such an overpowering reek of tobacco, to which smoking in many pubs in Germany is still allowed.

The pub is found in Frankfurt, Germany, 60487.

Just NW of the centre, near Bockenheimer Warte U-bahn station (U6 or U7). A wonderful traditional boozer in a turreted "Gründerzeit" building. Lovely unaltered interior: a single plain bar with wooden floor and high timber dado; battened ceiling; cream and brown decor; old photos and bricabrac; 50s-60s pop music. The serving counter is in two parts: a main square servery, then a horsehoe-shaped extension, around which apfelwein-drinking locals sit on stools. Behind the servery is a congested corridor leading to the toilets and a hazardously-located dartboard. Highly recommended as a pub.

We have visited this pub once, seen 5 different beers and tried 2 of them.
