In addition to the casino, restaurants, bars, and beer garden at the Kurhaus, nightlife is centered on the many bistros and pubs on Taunusstrasse and in the Old Town. The tourist office provides schedules and sells tickets for most venues listed here.
Part of the RheinMain CongressCenter, this swanky wine bar has an excellent selection of whites, reds, and rosés, both local and international, along with a choice of beers and cocktails. Light snacks, including flammkuchen (baked thin-crust pizza), carpaccio, and salads, are also available. However, it's only open on weekends if there are events.
This perennially popular Irish pub in the heart of the Old Town has a vast selection of whiskies and spirits. It also, somewhat surprisingly, does one of the city's best schnitzels. It's open from lunchtime until late.
Located in the Kurhaus, the Spielbank's Klassiches Spiel (table games area: roulette, blackjack, and poker) is one of Europe's grand casinos, open Sunday through Thursday 2:45 pm to 3 am (until 4 am on Friday, Saturday holiday eves; jacket required). The less formal Automatenspiel (slots) in the neighboring Kolonnade is open from noon to 4 am. To enter either, you must be at least 18 (bring your passport).
