Pretty cool place- everyone seemed to be wearing jeans which I didn't quite understand. But the…read moredrinks were good and the crowd was interesting- mostly late twenties to mid thirties. Was recommended this place by the concierge who seemed pretty hip. The outside lacks curb appeal, but inside it has a good vibe. Lots of smoke though- be warned. Just a chill spot to hang out, not a dancing spot but a cool place. Was visiting from the US. Would go back.

The Switchboard is an institution in the Frankfurt gay scene. It is part of AIDS-Hilfe, a charity…read moreworking in AIDS-prevention projects and assisting people with HIV. You can meet there a lot of so called Stammgäste (habitué), the average age is not very young, expecially when it's happy hour (on Tuesday and on Sunday evening). There are actually many different groups meeting at the Switchboard, so with a bit of luck and perseverance you can experience different kind of people. It relies on the help of many voluntaries in rotation, some of the folks working there are very friendly, other unfortunately not. If you are an international traveler, maybe a tourist, it is a place not to miss, but beware especially on Tuesday you might encounter a guy volunteering who is unbearable to any averagely educated person from outside of Germany, sometimes also for the locals who know him well and darunter leiden. I dont go very often to AG36, now I remember why don't come up with the idea of asking if you can add a little table to the table of your guests: you will not get a nice anwer. Best case scenario a bitchy ungern. Don't ask how the food there is prepared (because of allergies), you will looked at as if you were cursing. Be prepared to wait for 20 minutes before anybody acknowledge you exist (Hilfe, Kundschaft.). Dont ask to play a song which goes beyond the standard Slager, maybe something more sophisticated than the usual selection: you might be considered a Martian :-) Honestly, the problem is not the place, and not even the cultural differences which are many between us used to an Anglosaxon approach to service and the Prussian style avarage Frankfurter. The problem has a name and surname and a grumpy face, and people going there on Tue know what I am talking about and no, it is not the older guy, who is very very nice. It's the younger Ziegenbock who should be sent pasturing elsewhere.

Not doing any research prior to buying tickets, I had no idea what to expect of the venue. This place has two levels. The main level, where you walk in is like a bar / lounge area, with a full bar and just a general nice relaxing scene. Downstairs is the "concert hall," which also has a full bar, along with some open space and a stage on one side. It's not a large venue by far, but I have to say that the acoustics in there were amazing. The staff here were friendly and the concert experience was a positive one. At one point I had to go upstairs, as I needed to get something like a red bull, as I had flown in earlier that day and needed a pick me up. The bartender upstairs gave me something similar and told me it was on the house. What wonderful service!! I'd be curious to know what this place is like when there isn't a band playing, but the location is fantastic to the underground and is a very nice location in the financial district of Frankfurt.
