Apfelweinwirtschaft Wagner

Apfelweinwirtschaft Wagner is an Apfelwein tavern at Schweizer Straße 71 in Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt am Main, in the German state of Hesse. It stands next to Zum Gemalten Haus and is paired with it by many visitors on an evening tavern circuit. The rustic dining room and courtyard give it a relaxed, family-friendly feel in the daytime and a livelier, social mood after dark. The crowd is a blend of locals, office groups, students and travellers, mostly adults of all ages, and there is no dress code; casual clothing is normal. No club music is played, and the noise level is that of a busy tavern. Apfelwein is the main drink, typically served by the glass at about €3-4 or by the Bembel jug for the table. The still, tart apple wine can be softened with sparkling water or sweet cider, and beer and non-alcoholic drinks are normally also available. Unlike many pure drinking taverns, this venue is known for its regional cooking, including schnitzel and Handkäs mit Musik, the sour-milk cheese served with onions and vinegar, so it works equally well for a meal and for a drink. Main dishes are generally priced in the lower to middle euro range. Hours are typically daily from about 10AM until midnight, which is longer than many neighbouring taverns that only open in the afternoon; the exact times should be confirmed. Weeknights are quieter, while Friday and Saturday evenings fill up, especially when the courtyard is usable. There is no cover charge. Reservations are worth considering for groups of six or more and for weekend dinners, since walk-in tables can be scarce at peak times. Bottle service does not apply; the model is jugs and glasses shared at the table. The location, a short distance from the Main river and the Sachsenhausen tavern streets, makes it convenient to combine with a walk across the Eiserner Steg or a visit to the museums along the riverfront earlier in the day.
