Sachsenhausen (Frankfurt's "Left Bank") is a good place for bars, clubs, and traditional Apfelwein taverns. The fashionable Nordend has an almost equal number of bars and clubs but fewer tourists. Frankfurt was a real pioneer in the German jazz scene, and also has done much for the development of techno music. Jazz musicians make the rounds from smoky backstreet cafés all the way to the Old Opera House, and the local broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk sponsors the German Jazz Festival in fall. The Frankfurter Jazzkeller has been the most noted venue for German jazz fans for decades.

The spacious club has an intimate feel, as candles are just about the only source of light. The proprietor is Anita Honis, an American singer from Harlem, who likes to get out her acoustic guitar and perform on occasion. Everyone is invited to sing or play on the piano, which is set up for impromptu and scheduled performances, and there's usually music nightly from 8 pm.

An important address for jazz, rock, salsa, and disco, the "Bread Factory" really is set in a former bakery in an area of town that's still primarily industrial. The building houses two stages, a concert hall, two restaurants, three not-for-profit projects, an ad agency, and a gallery. Concert tickets from €15.

Like the rest of the Marriott Hotel, this sports bar is designed to make Americans feel at home. The walls are lined with team jerseys, autographed helmets, and photographs of professional athletes. The 23 TVs can be tuned to the American Forces Network, which carries the full range of American sports. Food leans toward buffalo wings, hamburgers, and brownies.

The oldest jazz cellar in Germany, Der Frankfurter Jazzkeller was founded by legendary trumpeter Carlo Bohländer. The club, which once hosted such luminaries as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, now offers hot, modern jazz, but there is always some kind of cover. There are jam sessions on Wednesday and "Latin-funky" dances on Friday. Jazzkeller is located on a small alleyway off Fressgass, which just adds to its charm and legend.

The full name is Fox and Hound English Pub and Lounge, which says it all. Patrons of this traditional British pub in the middle of Frankfurt are mainly British and come to watch the latest football (soccer to Americans), rugby, and cricket matches. Enjoy the authentic British pub food including fish and chips, 35 whiskies, bitters, and stout. Monday is steak night, with American-style sirloins and rib eyes.

With posters of Chairman Mao on the walls, time seems to have stood still at the Jazzlokal Mampf. It looks straight out of the 1970s, but with live music to match, many don't think that's so bad. Since it opens at 6 pm for dinner and drinks, there's a lively after-work crowd on weekdays. Live jazz performances begin at 8 pm.

This ultramodern nightclub, formerly the Cocoon Club, has four spacious dance floors that play different types of music, three bars, and two restaurants serving Asian-European dishes. Techno is the presiding music genre and draws a mostly young crowd; the club is open Thursday to Saturday only. A night out here will take a toll on your wallet: a taxi is required to reach its location on the eastern edge of town, and the cover charge and cocktails are both pricey.

The type of crowd depends on the night. The large club hosts student nights on Thursday, a "27 Up Club" on Friday (exclusively for guests 27 or older), disco nights on Saturday, as well as "Black Mondays"—a night of soul, hip-hop, and R&B. It's housed in a beautiful white building that looks like a museum. There's lots of neon and pulsing lights, including under the see-through dance floor.

There's not much that doesn't take place at this international variety theater. Guests are entertained by international cabaret performers and the Palast's own variety orchestra. There's an excellent restaurant, Tiger-Gourmet, featuring vegan and vegetarian dishes, and the cozy Palastbar, under the basement arches, looks like an American bar from the 1920s. Despite the pricey dinner show, tickets often sell out, so book as far in advance as possible. It's just one block from the Zeil pedestrian shopping area.

Living XXL, one of the biggest restaurant-bars in Germany, is as hyped as the Eurotower, where it happens to be located. The Wednesday after-work parties are popular. The DJ spins hip-hop and soul on Friday and a mix of R&B, soul, and house on Saturday. The spacious, terraced interior has drawn praise from architects.

University students and young professionals frequent this bar in a cellar beneath a narrow Sachsenhausen alleyway. DJs usually spin the music, although there are occasional live acts on weekends. There's a tiny dance floor if you feel like showing off your moves.

The techno-heavy U60311, which bills itself as the center of the underground movement, couldn't be more underground. It's in a subway station, and gets its name (and telephone number) from its postal code. Its low ceilings make the music deafening.

The soothing interior attracts many to Unity, a lounge in Frankfurt's East End. Large couches line the walls of this dimly lighted space. A mix of rock, funk, and soul is played by a DJ, except when there is live music on Tuesday.
