Luna Bar
Luna Bar occupies the 22nd floor of the Flemings Selection Hotel at Eschenheimer Tor, giving it one of the best skyline views in central Frankfurt. The financial district's towers stand directly to the south, and the floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the bar in a panorama that includes the Main River, the Commerzbank Tower, and the Taunus hills on clear days. The room itself is compact: a long bar, low seating clusters, and a wraparound window terrace that opens during warm months. Cocktails lean classic with a handful of signature builds using German spirits and Hessian fruit distillates. Prices sit at the higher end of Frankfurt's scale, which is the deal you make for the view. The crowd mixes hotel guests, finance workers winding down after late trading sessions, and Frankfurters bringing out-of-town visitors for the photo. Reservations are recommended on weekends, particularly for window seats. The service is polished and professional, reflecting the Flemings group's hotel background. Music stays low enough for conversation. Come for the view, stay for a second drink if the crowd suits you.

Full Review
Luna Bar sits at the top of the Flemings Selection Hotel on Eschenheimer Tor, a short walk north of Bahnhofsviertel and directly across from the old medieval tower. The elevator ride takes about 30 seconds and opens into a small foyer before the bar proper. The room is tighter than you'd expect, built around maximizing window access rather than packing in tables. A wraparound terrace extends outside in warm months, adding maybe 20 percent more capacity and the best photo positions.
The cocktail program is classic with a Frankfurt overlay. Expect well-made old fashioneds, negronis, and martinis alongside signature builds using Taunus gin, Hessian apple brandy, and occasional seasonal fruit from regional distillers. Prices reflect the view, not the ambition of the bar program. A round of two cocktails plus water will run you close to 35-40 EUR before tips.
Compared to Main Tower's observation platform, Luna Bar is more expensive but actually serves drinks and doesn't have the museum queue. Compared to the cocktail bars in Bahnhofsviertel proper (Dora Brilliant, Kinly), Luna is less ambitious on the drinks but unbeatable on the setting. The view does the heavy lifting.
Service is hotel-trained, which means professional rather than warm. Reservations matter on weekends. Arrive 20 minutes before sunset for the gradient over the skyline, and stay past dark when the bank towers light up. The bar empties earlier than club-oriented venues, with most tables clearing by 00:30 on weeknights. For visitors treating Frankfurt as a 24-hour layover, this is the most efficient way to see the city from above.
The Neighborhood
Eschenheimer Tor sits at the northern edge of the financial district, just north of Bahnhofsviertel. The area mixes office towers, hotels, and the old city gate monument. Several cocktail bars and restaurants cluster nearby, including the Kinly Bar speakeasy two blocks south.
Getting There
U-Bahn U1, U2, U3, or U8 to Eschenheimer Tor station, then directly into the Flemings Hotel at ground level. Walking from Hauptbahnhof takes 15 minutes through Bahnhofsviertel. Taxi from the station runs 8-10 EUR.
