Frankfurt am Main: 2 Nights PubCrawl Shots and Party — An In-Depth Look

If you’re craving a lively weekend in Frankfurt’s most vibrant neighborhood, this 2-night pub crawl offers a chance to explore Alt-Sachsenhausen — the city’s trendy party district. Since 2008, this tour has been a popular way for visitors to meet new people, enjoy free shots, and get a taste of Frankfurt’s nightlife scene. The tour promises a lively, social atmosphere, with time split between four different venues over two evenings.
What I really like about this experience is how it combines the fun of a party with the chance to discover Frankfurt’s local bar scene. The guides, like Feli and Nicole, are repeatedly praised for managing groups smoothly and making everyone feel safe — especially on a busy Saturday night. Plus, the inclusion of free shots at each bar and free entry makes this a good value, especially if you’re traveling solo or with friends who want a relaxed, no-hassle night out.
That said, it’s worth noting that since the tour is valid for both Friday and Saturday nights, you’ll need to fully commit to the entire weekend, as individual days cannot be booked separately. If you prefer a more relaxed, less boisterous evening, or are not into heavy drinking, this might not be the right fit, since free shots are a core part of the experience. Also, additional drinks outside of the included shots are not covered, so budget accordingly if you plan to indulge further.

An Authentic Night Out: The Itinerary Breakdown

Starting at the Frankfurt Römer, the tour kicks off with the iconic Fountain of Justice, where the tour guide greets everyone with a welcome schnapps. The guides bring a relaxed but organized energy that instantly makes you feel part of a friendly crowd. After the initial meet, the group heads into Alt-Sachsenhausen, renowned for its lively atmosphere and traditional cider taverns mixed with modern bars.
Over the next four hours, you’ll spend about an hour at each of the three bars and the club. The bars themselves vary from cozy, traditional spots to trendier venues, giving a good mix of local flavor and nightlife buzz. The free shots are a highlight, and you’ll be encouraged to mingle with fellow party-goers. One of the reviews mentions that, despite arriving just before the tour, the guide managed the busy crowd well, making everyone feel safe and involved.
The second night follows a similar pattern, with the added advantage of familiarity if you attend both nights — you get to see more venues and meet different groups of people. The club entry is included, making it easier to dance away your night without worrying about extra costs or long lines. The guides keep the energy high and are usually multilingual, offering tours in English, German, and Spanish for diverse groups.
What Makes Each Venue Special?

The first bar typically offers a warm, friendly atmosphere, perfect for warming up with a shot and some casual conversation. The second and third bars are where you’ll find the trendier, more energetic vibes — ideal spots for socializing and soaking in local culture. The final club provides an opportunity to dance and really experience Frankfurt’s late-night scene.
From the reviews, I gather that German beer here is surprisingly good, with one traveler mentioning they felt safe and welcomed despite arriving just an hour before the tour started. The guides’ professionalism and friendly attitude shine through, making the whole experience feel well-managed and enjoyable.
The Value and Practicalities

The price includes welcome schnapps, free shots at each bar, guided supervision, and free entry into all venues. For the cost, this offers solid value, especially considering the included drinks and the convenience of skipping lines. However, if you’re someone who prefers a quieter night or doesn’t drink heavily, you might find the focus on shots less appealing.
The tour’s duration spans about four hours each night, giving enough time to relax, socialize, and enjoy without feeling rushed. The meeting point at the Römer is central and easy to find, and guides are easily recognizable with their tour logo bags. The tour is flexible in terms of cancellation, with full refunds available if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
The experience is particularly suited for solo travelers, groups celebrating special occasions, or anyone looking to jump-start their nightlife in Frankfurt. Keep in mind that additional drinks outside of the included shots are not covered, so plan to budget for those if you want to continue drinking beyond the free offerings.
Who Will Love This Tour?
If you’re someone who enjoys meeting new people, trying local drinks, and loves energetic nightlife, this pub crawl will hit the spot. It’s particularly ideal if you’re visiting Frankfurt for a short stay and want a memorable way to connect with other travelers. The guides’ professionalism and the variety of venues mean you’ll get a good snapshot of Frankfurt’s lively district.
However, if you prefer a more relaxed, less alcohol-focused evening, or if you’re traveling with kids or non-drinkers, this might not be the best fit. It’s very much a party experience centered around social drinking and dancing.
