Bull & Bear Restaurant & Sportsbar in Frankfurt am Main

A lovely place with a lovely staff! Friendly & kind while they are serving some delicious cocktails! Great menu & with a variety of options as well!

Very good restaurant with a great menu

The overall impression was disappointing. The schnitzel is not recommended, the potatoes were not fresh and inedible, the pizza base was burnt. Therefore, a recommendation is unfortunately not possible. The staff also has to work on themselves.

It's been a long time since we went to this bar today after being disappointed last time. Unfortunately, the two female waitresses seemed very overwhelmed (two orders were delivered incorrectly by the tall blonde waitress) and very unfriendly behavior when we wanted to pay (by the short waitress with dark curly hair). The only bright spot was what I would call the supervisor, who dealt with our complaint very professionally and apologized to us for the behavior of his colleagues. For us it was definitely the last visit to this bar.

We told the waitress with the short black hair that we wanted to place an order and we were ignored. I went to her personally and said again after half an hour that we wanted to order and were then ignored again and will never come back. Everyone was super rude and aloof!

Super bad service. After asking several times, the black-haired waitress still didn't pay any attention to us. Her colleagues are also very reluctant to take our order.

Unfriendly and arrogant waitresses who, for whatever reason, think they are better than others. The waitress with the short black hair apparently had more important things to do on her cell phone than asking us what we would like to order after repeated inquiries. The tables were dirty and covered in candle wax and no one thought it necessary to clean anything. Unfortunately there was more ice than drink in the cocktails, which is not what you would expect for this price. Really a shame and not worth a visit

Overall, the burger was solid – not outstanding, but not bad either. Unfortunately, the service was somewhat affected by the loud music, which resulted in my order being misunderstood. Everything was fine, but the service could have been significantly improved with a quieter atmosphere. Okay for the price, but next time I'm hoping for a more relaxing atmosphere to fully enjoy the visit.

The service was rude, and the overall experience was awful.

I love this place and the food was delicious.

We thought a happy hour was until 23h and ordered a cocktail a couple of minutes before (having asked the waitress), but apparently it was starting at 23h. We got to know it with the bill, and thanks to the explanation of the rude waitress that didn't warn us at all.

Saturday evening, lots of guests who enjoyed drinking (I include our group of friends) and a tough wait staff who had the whole thing under control. Nadja (I mean?) didn't let herself be disturbed and gave us time to finish our drinks even after the official closing time. We didn't eat anything, but we'll definitely be back as long as Nadja is on duty on weekends!

Sitting at the table for 28 minutes now, no service to be seen or found.

We were here for a birthday dinner and were warmly served. Thank you Maram for the great service and for your fast service! The drinks were especially great!!! We'll be back :)

We received extremely professional and friendly service. The young waitress Maram looked after us well and always made sure that we got our food warm and quickly. A visit is highly recommended.

Hamburger patty was half the diameter of the bun, felt like a maximum of 80-90g. That was meat. Everything else was medium, not worth going.

My second time visiting Bull&bear a very nice place to chill drinking beer and watch football haf a cheeseburger 🍔 with some fries 🍟 it was huge and tasty 😋 the waitress were nice and friendly especially lourine they work really hard .. absolutely recommended... Keep up the good work until next time..

My husband was here 6 years ago. After ordered a beer and waited for 20 minutes. It’s still not come. And no waiter checked on the empty table during the wait. He left this review just stating the fact without any further comment. Today he got message from Google that the restaurant report him as disinformation. Come on. When leaving this review I read the other 2 most recent reviews, all one star on service. No wonder. The fact speaks for itself. You didn’t even had the dignity to reply something like an excuse that the staff were busy.

Very nice restaurant and very nice service :)) so definitely recommended

I was there yesterday and I loved the food.

We had dinner this evening and were served by a nice lady with short brown hair. She was very friendly. Good food, good service, gladly again :))

Only in town for a couple days, if you’re looking for a spot for lunch… this will hit the spot!

We had a great time here, Esma and Marianna were both outstanding and helped us pick out some great food despite us not speaking any German. I had the Frankfurter Green Sauce (heard it was a staple for Frankfurt), and enjoyed it - very fresh.

Dont think this is a sport bar where u can watch games, as background music is a priority for them during a football world cup and instead of fighting with previous reviews focus on better service or at least nicer people at the bar (my previous was deleted by google as restaurant raised a complain claiming its Defamation)

Deleted original comment after a group reservation was forgotten and we had to sit outside in November when it was 0 degrees. There was no apology.

My first and last visit ,the coldest most unfriendly staff I've ever seen

Ein guter Ort, wenn man mitten in Frankfurt ist, und schnell, ohne Reservierungsaufwand, etwas leckeres Essen möchte.

The location is good and the seating is quite comfortable. However, we were on the terrace and the staff there was overwhelmed. Our service was very unfriendly. After we were served the wrong (cheaper) drink and complained about it, we were only told that it was the right drink. That wasn't a bad thing in itself because it was still tasty. However, we ended up having to pay for the other drink, which was significantly more expensive. We then commented that we only pay for what we drank. The waitress then dealt with us in a really inappropriate tone and showed no understanding at all. "If you don't have money, you can stay at home"

Without praise without infamy, quite touristy menu, some typical dishes but mostly oriental cuisine, but also some burgers... it's not clear what orientation I have. We thought it was a completely different place but we were fooled by the smell of meat which evidently came from somewhere else. However clean, fast service, splendid waitress to whom I willingly left the tip that I was asked if I wanted to give. Got two weinerschnitzel with fries, nothing special. Accompanied by an entrée of salad dressed with a burger-type sauce.

There was nothing wrong with the currywurst today. It's a shame to serve eteas like that.

Service zero, but If you have a great company, then you can spend an evening there. Different menu for different customers available. We were told what is not available but the other guests got it afterwards. I wouldn’t recommend this place

A little loud, a little crowded. Everything perfect. Great location, sports bar with a nice atmosphere. Mavije is the best.

Waitress super unfriendly. Bad experience.

Probably the worst service in town. We had 3-4 rounds of drinks and each time we waited at least 30 minutes for someone to come (you aren't allowed to order at the bar), and then usually 20-30 minutes for the drinks (beer) to arrive. An impudence

The blonde waitress Mavije is super nice. She knows exactly which customers want what exactly. 10/10 in taste and service. Such a waitress actually promotes! The prettiest in the whole store

Absolutely NO GO!!! Service lackluster! Toilets underground! The men had six urinals, 3 broken, the rest dirty. Food: Convenience food + arrived cold! The waitress's excuse...it's better not to sit in the basement for warm food. - We had no choice, the three of us were sent straight down. Sports bar, ok...but screens with pixel images, incredibly loud + loud music (RAP) playing at the same time. Prices are way too high for what you get (the three of you paid over 40 EUR with two convenience food dishes and three drinks!) I absolutely cannot recommend this establishment.

Here you cash in when the waiter ends his shift. That's annoying when you get cashed in twice by two people. Not a great solution. We don't go here anymore. The main thing is to tip twice.

In itself a great bar that is usually very loud. The waitresses aren't that friendly but it's okay. Also completely acceptable for eating, you will be full 😂

Nice ambience, nice location and fair prices. Bartenders friendly and polite, but service from waitresses subpar. No friendliness, let alone a friendly and positive charisma

The customer service is horrible, most of the servers are impolite and incompetent.

Waiter the catastrophe, no joy at work! Ruin a customer's mood with their bad mood. I ask for a change in the waiters, you are losing customers!!!!

Good food, sporty atmosphere and friendly service

It's just a sports bar. For men it's an absolute dream, for women it's less so. The food was more like fast food with a few schnitzel variations. Mostly chicken. But relatively tasty.

The waitress who served us was rude, just because we asked in English if the soup was coconut, she replied to us in an insulting tone that she didn't explain the dishes in English. It's a shame about the very good food With a bitter taste I will never go back to my girlfriend. She made me feel unwelcome in her country. I hope the boss knows what to do.

The food is decent and the prices in comparisson to other places in town reasonable. It was the only place I could find open while arriving late to a nearby hotel on Sunday night at 10:30 pm. Also a plus that there is an outside heated patio. I had no issue with the service both the pasta and a burger we ordered with a friend were absolutely fine!

We wanted to go out for a relaxed meal on a Friday evening in the usual setting, but after this visit it will probably be the last time... Service was underground! My friend had the baked potato and the quark was clearly sour! But instead of taking it back and offering us something else, the quark was supposedly tried by everyone in the kitchen and our plate was then literally shoved under the noses of other guests... Then we were told that we just didn't like it, which wasn't the case. The tone of the service was presumptuous and not service-oriented! You couldn't cancel the meal, for whatever reason. We couldn't be named someone responsible... Ultimately the meal could be canceled and we got up and left straight away. If you feel like spoiled food and unfriendly service, this is the place for you!

I like this alot. A regular getaway place for us. Chicken curry with coconut milk is my favourite.. Drinks asusual... Service I love them. Friendly staff. Not nosy people. Huge outdoor... Indoor seating is limited I guess. Reasonable prices. Location is awesome. Just few feet from Hauptwache s bahn. Veg options also good. Can't expect more in Germany for vegetarians may be.

The waitress was solely responsible for the entire terrace on Saturday evening, so everything took a long time and the friendliness was limited. Unfortunately, the nachos with cheese gratinated tasted so stale and soggy that I had to return them. The location is nice and central and the prices are reasonable for the location.

I haven't seen such bad and unfriendly waitresses in my life

El servicio es pésimo. Tardan entre 30min-1h para atenderte en mesa Pides una bebida pequeña y te sirven el tamaño grande (seguramente para cobrar más). Te atienden muy mal, etc.

I used to enjoy coming here often, but it has slowed down a lot. Lukewarm tarte flambée, inattentive and inflexible service (a glass of 0.1 instead of 0.2 wine not possible, she wouldn't know the price🙈) despite the empty restaurant, and all that at ridiculous prices! Here you definitely only pay for the location, not the quality or service :-( I'd rather leave my tip somewhere else, at least there wasn't one here.

Fast, very friendly service, brilliant burgers/fries, fair prices and a nice, clean atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone who visits the stock exchange next door or is nearby!!

Salads taste good. Staff is friendly.

The service wasn't really friendly and wasn't really motivated either. We waited 30 minutes for drinks. The food came fairly quickly, but several meals (citizens) were ice cold. Wasn't a good visit.

Terrible service. They took a long time to take our order, the order was incorrect and the waitress who served us had little courtesy and showed little, if not any, sympathy.

The bistro has a top location and is surprisingly affordable with good food. The menu has a bit of everything, which put us off at first, but the dishes we ordered from different categories were really good. The portions were large, the selection of vegetarian dishes was adequate to good and the drinks menu was to die for! On warm days you can sit outside in front of the stock exchange within sight of the bear and the bull. What's particularly nice is that there are also vegetarian options among the Frankfurt specialties, for example the green sauce with boiled egg and potatoes. Overall, less of a restaurant and more of a bistro, but that's not a disadvantage. The staff is friendly, quick and conscientious, but sometimes you have to draw attention to yourself. An absolute recommendation for tourists. Local specialties, great location, good prices, large portions.

Opening time 8 a.m., it was still closed at 9:30

The staff is so grumpy, they look tired of life, they are never polite, the food wasn't good either, we weren't satisfied at all, the waiters are supposed to be friendly, they never laugh, I never felt comfortable as a customer. Very unfortunate.

Very good location. Top burger and the service was very friendly and attentive.

Amazing food amazing atmosphere very big portions cheap

Spaghetti with red sauce is unacceptable, in fact you ask for extra cheese and they tell you in style a 1.50 charge! The pizza has the same red pasta sauce lousy and tasteless Cherry tomatoes were added to the pesto (unrelated) Prices like everything there in Frankfurt Service not so kind

I recently had a very disappointing experience at your restaurant. One employee, a blonde girl in short jeans, ignored us the whole time. When she finally served us, she brought us a cold cappuccino. When we asked to replace it, she refused.

I visited bull and bear yesterday with my group of 13 girls and I ordered a dish of cous cous from the evening menu but it was so overcooked that it wasn’t edible. I gave the feedback to the server and she was not even kind enough to offer a replacement. I quickly got the feeling that they don’t seem to value their repeated customers. The quality is going down drastically and I wouldn’t return this place unless they actually correct their ways of dealing with customer service and improve their food quality. How can they expect the customer to pay for the dish, I couldn’t even eat. Totally unreasonable service and food. I also noticed that the server was not detail oriented and bought extra drinks and told us it’s our fault- can’t someone know that 13 people wouldn’t order 15 drinks ? We still were kind to say ok we will pay for 15 drinks but there was no response. People were working like they are forced to work there.

Very rude staff, i was there 10 minutes after the opening (i checked on google and at the location)and they told me they are closed and they will open after one hour. Definitely not worth trying! We went to another place where we ate so well and we tipped the waiter 20€ for being nice( a thing that in this place is definitely not possible). I feel bad for people going here hoping for a nice experience or with children because of how grumpy the waitress was. I think she is not paid enough maybe?

The salad tasted very good and is recommended. The ambience is somewhat interchangeable and compatible with the masses. But thumbs up.

The restaurant offers a solid selection of dishes that are well prepared but don't stand out exceptionally. The service is friendly, but the waiting times could be shorter. The ambience is pleasant but lacks a bit of atmosphere. Overall, a good place for a simple dinner, but not necessarily for special occasions.

The service was absolutely catastrophic, we waited forever and asked a few times and we are waiters ourselves and know what it's like, but it wasn't crowded at all and she then just went to smoke a cigarette even though she told us that she would be there soon. I'll never go there again I would advise everyone against it. We were there on August 22, 2024 at around 2 p.m. The waitress had black hair tied into a braid or pinned up with a clip

We ate there on August 17th. A burger menu and pasta dish. It was the worst burger I had ever eaten 👎🏼 Guests at the neighboring table even got moldy hamburger buns. Service was totally unfriendly!!! Sanitary facilities are also very shabby. Conclusion -I don't recommend eating there.!!!

Don't go here, you're just disturbing people!!! We were here on a Wednesday afternoon to try out another restaurant. Due to its prime location in the heart of Frankfurt and the large outdoor area, it initially made a good impression. However, after we sat down, the problems started. Although there were hardly any guests and there were plenty of staff everywhere inside, not a single person thought to serve us, no matter how many times we waved and asked for service. Somehow they all had better things to do than worry about guests/paying customers. So we waited hungry for 15 minutes and then left without having accomplished anything to satisfy our hunger somewhere else, where guests might not be treated so ignorantly and indifferently, but rather with appreciation. It's a real shame with such an impressive menu that no one will be able to enjoy under these circumstances... I would have expected more from such a well-known address in Frankfurt. Better go somewhere else!!!

A day under 34° and they refuse to serve tap water under the pretext that "we can't make a margin on it". Plus, there was as much bacon on the flammkush as there was a smile on the waitress's face. Enough to have a good day.

Bun was moldy. Got new without apology or price adjustment. No recommendation!!!! Poor value for money.

Great service 👍🏼 Food was super delicious! Good value for money 👍🏼

Horrible servicio y pago mínimo con tarjeta del que no nos hablaron, así que tuvimos que tomar otra copa cuando no queríamos. Nos alojamos aquí por un fin de semana largo y no recomendamos incluso venir aquí. Un trato horrible. Lento.

It's very nice to sit here, especially in summer outside on Bärsenplatz. But both the service and the food used to be better. This is just convenience standard. It will fill you up, but it's not a great thing.

Service completely overwhelmed and very, very unfriendly! My beer glass smelled very unpleasant and the beer also tasted very strange. Absolutely not recommended!

We were there for lunch with a larger group. The selection actually offers something for every taste (Pinsa, burgers, Asian and also regional things like green sauce). Considering there were 12 of us, the waiting times were okay. In principle, most of the food tasted good. But on the one hand it was somehow very carelessly slapped together, at least the burger, and on the other hand it was way too overloaded with onions. Anyone who thinks something like that is great will enjoy it, I definitely found it too much.

I come here every now and then to eat. The daily meal is always very good and has a good selection. The prices are ok.

We were a group of eight. Were ignored for 20 minutes by two waitresses present and had to push the tables together ourselves so that we all had space. When we asked whether we could finally order drinks, we were directed to our colleague somewhere in the middle of nowhere. We got up after half an hour and went somewhere else. Apparently they don't depend on us.

The drinks were okay, but everything else left much to be desired. The service was slow and inattentive, and the food was disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience.

Delicious and very close to the stock exchange

Consistently good service and good food. A constant in Frankfurt City.

The highlight of the disappointment was the Tiramisu. It was advertised as being served with "exotic fruits," but to my dismay, it came with apples. This substitution was not only unexpected but completely inappropriate for a dish like Tiramisu. The dessert was supposed to be homemade, but it tasted anything but. The piece was dry, flavorless, and bore no resemblance to a traditional Tiramisu, never again.

When I ate there the food was very very spicy, the food tasted very disgusting and the drinks were weird. I ordered a lychee spritzer but it tasted like strawberries. The lychees were also very bitter, like they came from a can. The service was otherwise okay, but everything else was horrible. I wouldn't recommend

Blah. Waitress had zero vibe was pushy and then short-changed me on the bill. Blah. No need to go here if you have soul.

The two of us ate here. When we asked about the card, we were only answered with “I don’t know”. We then said we needed some more time and just ordered drinks. These were then brought to us and from now on we were ignored, even though there were hardly any guests there other than us. When we spoke to a waitress, we were told to ask someone else. We briefly considered just leaving, but we already had our drinks. The food was okay. The homemade lemonade was delicious. However, I wouldn't order a salad as it was obviously no longer fresh and had some brown, mushy spots. Paying €13 for that really hurts. The only smile we saw from the waitress was when she complained to me about the guests at the next table. We were here to test new restaurants in ffm, mission failed. We'll stick with the old ones.

I waited for the waiter for more than an hour, no one came…. Very bad service

Nice place! Especially if you don't know exactly what to eat, there is a lot to choose from - from salads, burgers, glazed cakes to Asian dishes.

It was my first time here in the evening to watch football and have dinner. The location is very good. Centrally lit nice area outside. The food was ok and inexpensive. The drinks were a bit expensive. The service was quite overwhelming. Also with billing. The toilet is a disgrace. Only one urinal was functional. And that was super dirty. The sinks were all broken. What is the cleaning lady doing at the door? Unfortunately not recommended.

Most of the waitresses are very rude and the service is really bad.

Never experienced such bad service here!! Wrong drink bar guilty, food not as described kitchen guilty!!! We had to accept no excuse, no solution. Shortly spoken, not listening properly and annoyed to the point of not being able to do it anymore. Especially now that the catering industry has to fight, this is a no-go!!!

Prime location, 2 minutes away from the Hauptwache train station, good food and matches shown on big screens. What else do we need 😎 nice atmosphere.

I can't understand the recent negative reviews. As soon as we were seated, the waitress came and took our order and the drinks and food came really quickly too! The lemonade, beer, salad and pasta are recommended! The waitress was friendly too. Maybe there's something true about the saying about the forest...? We have been coming here whenever we are in Frankfurt for several years and the Bull & Bear has never disappointed us. Nothing has actually changed, the menu and the preparation are still the same. :) You could show FashionTV on TV again, the runway shows were very entertaining! ;-) Thank you for your persistence and hopefully for many more years to come! We're always happy to come back!

Sat for 30 minutes and wasn't served. Others came after me and even received their food. Then I got up and left.

Guys, I encourage you to just walk past. We waited 20 minutes until we showed our own initiative and told a waitress that we were vegging out on her chairs. We were then told that she knew what was going on and that we shouldn't be annoying. After a few minutes of waiting and excitement, we just went to Nazar, which is next door, for kebab, which was okay. So if you want to pay for disrespect, waiting and aggression: The perfect place!

I visited during Euro2024. It's great to watch soccer teams. There were monitors installed throughout the outdoor seating, so it was a nice atmosphere for group viewing while having a meal or a beer. It was a great atmosphere to cheer and shout together and enjoy it comfortably. What about food... .. It's neither bad nor good. The beer was delicious, perhaps because of the good turnover or because of the atmosphere. However, please do not order nachos… … It may be so salty that your tongue no longer functions properly.

Went there for a birthday and had made reservations for 13 people downstairs in the lounge, but when we arrived no one greeted us for 30 minutes. After asking several times, we were only told to wait. Ultimately we had to convert the heavy tables ourselves because nothing was prepared/reserved for us. At least the food arrived quickly. The atmosphere in the lounge was also unsatisfactory because the music downstairs wasn't even playing properly and stopped the whole time. We were there until after 2 a.m. and after a certain time all the TVs in the lounge that were showing music videos the whole time started showing inappropriate sexual content. The waitress and waiter did their best, but the general organization was just disappointing

Quick stop off to try the Handkäse mit musik. It was tasty enough but would've preferred a bit more cheese.

So, if you wanted to sit somewhere without ordering - then this is the right place for you, because there is very little chance that the waiter will speak to you. It's best to come with your own drinks. I was there a few times last year, once service didn't come until we asked at the bar a few times, the next time when no one came after 40 minutes - we left and last time we had it after 50 minutes, but, when we wanted second round and asked a few waitresses about it in person, we were told to wait as they didn't have time. Suggestion for owners: or hire more staff or pay better wages so that they are motivated, otherwise there will be no sales.

We wanted to go to the bar and were very impressed by the prices etc. Unfortunately, we never received an answer to our reservation request! Impudence!

If i could leave -10 stars I would. The servers are not competent, impolite, unable to take orders or to make you pay without having to wait 40 minutes. The food was not good and the drinks too. It’s not the first time that this happens and the bar was not even full!
