"Wow, America can take some notes here. Brother and I backpacking, first night in Frankfurt and stumbled onto this fun and family friendly area on the Main River walkway outside of downtown. Plenty of open green space to play or relax and lay. Beer was flowing."

"We only utilized the beer garden but it was perfect for a sunny day in the spring. Though the line could get long, it moved quickly. There is an opportunity to rent a beach chair for the grassy area. When those are gone, blankets are available. There is also a pay toilet in the building."
