Frankfurt am Main: Night Pub Crawl Shots and Party

This tour promises a fun, energetic way to discover some of the city’s trendiest bars while enjoying free shots and meeting new people. It’s designed for those who want to combine socializing, good drinks, and a lively atmosphere into a manageable four-hour adventure.

Plus, the free shots at each bar add a bit of extra fun without breaking the bank.

On the flip side, a possible consideration is that it’s not a sightseeing tour, so if you’re more interested in cultural or historical insights, you might want to explore separately.

What This Tour Offers in Detail

Discovering Frankfurt’s Nightlife Scene

This pub crawl is less about sightseeing and more about having a good time. Starting at the historic Römer square, your evening kicks off with a welcome shot, setting the tone for a relaxed, fun night. Once you get your VIP wristband, you’re ready to explore Alt-Sachsenhausen, renowned for its vibrant bar scene filled with locals and travelers alike.

The tour lasts about four hours, and you’ll visit four different venues — each with its own unique atmosphere. The guides wear identifiable gear, so finding your group is straightforward. Expect a lively mix of music, friendly bartenders, and, of course, plenty of opportunities for shots and mingling.

The Stops and What to Expect

While the specifics of each venue are kept secret until the tour, reviews give us some clues about what to anticipate. The first stop is at the Römer, a historical spot that’s more about the beginning of your night than the bar itself. The next three are “secret stops,” each lasting roughly an hour.

What you’ll love here is the variety — from cozy pubs to more energetic spots with good music. Several reviews mention that the bar choices are top-notch, with some comments about the venues being small and crowded, especially the first and third stops. This means you should be prepared for a lively, bustling scene, and perhaps a little wait outside at times. But that’s part of the authentic Frankfurt experience.

Free Shots and the Party Vibe

The tour features free shots at each bar, and additional shots are served en route between venues, while stocks last. Many participants noted that the shots are plentiful, though some joked that they might be juice—so don’t expect premium spirits, but definitely enough to keep the mood light and fun.

The guides are praised for their energy and friendliness, making sure everyone feels included and comfortable. The music and atmosphere are described as lively, making it an ideal way to start (or continue) a night out.

Guides and Group Dynamics

Guides like Felicia and Andres receive glowing reviews for their friendly, lively attitude. They’re seen as more than just hosts—they help create a sense of belonging and keep the energy high. Some reviews mention feeling like the guide was family, emphasizing how important that personal touch can be on a night out.

Group sizes seem manageable, helping everyone stay together and ensuring no one gets lost. Participants appreciated the mix of locals and international guests, making for interesting conversations and connections.

Cost and Value

For the price—paying upfront but with the flexibility to cancel 24 hours ahead—the tour offers solid value. The inclusion of free entry to the clubs, and multiple shots, means you’re paying mainly for the experience, guide, and access to some of Frankfurt’s coolest spots. While additional drinks aren’t included, the shots alone help you get into the party spirit without extra expense.

Possible Downsides

A couple of reviews pointed out that some venues are too crowded, and waiting outside isn’t uncommon. The last stop was described as more of a club than a true venue, which might not appeal if you’re looking for a more authentic club experience. Also, the small venues can feel cramped, especially during peak times. If you’re not a fan of hectic, bustling environments, this might be a bit overwhelming.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

If you’re traveling solo or with friends and want a fun-filled night to meet new people, this tour is a pretty good pick. It’s perfect if you prefer a guided experience that takes the stress out of navigating a foreign nightlife scene. It’s also suited for those who enjoy a lively, social atmosphere with free shots and good music.

However, if you’re after a more relaxed evening or want to explore Frankfurt’s history and culture in depth, this isn’t the best choice. It’s purely about partying, so keep that in mind.

Final Thoughts

This pub crawl stands out as a great way to dive into Frankfurt’s nightlife in a social, energetic setting. The guides are clearly passionate about creating a good time, and the variety of venues keeps the night interesting. The inclusion of free shots adds a little extra value, making it a cost-effective way to enjoy a Friday or Saturday night.

It’s not perfect—crowded venues and the lack of sightseeing might be drawbacks for some—but if you’re in the mood to party and meet people, this tour hits the mark. You’ll walk away with new friends, good memories, and a real taste of Frankfurt after dark.
