In spite of enough fans and two screens it wasn't really a successful evening. It's not just the size of the place (one large room, not several smaller, more cozy areas as I've seen in other Irish pub/sports' bars), but mainly the fact that there was a live band at the other end of the room. For neither party - sports or music interested - was this arrangment in any way satisifying. The sound of the sports' commentator was drowned out by listlessly played life music. The Guinness draught was delicious (what else?!) but the burger was pretty tasteless accompanied by homemade, uneven chips. Well, we didn't go there for the food anyway, nevertheless...

I had a shameful record for going there every night for 3 months straight, and helped out at the door on busy weekends and stayed late after hours. I probably dont know any of the bartenders or cooks there anymore, but you still get 5 stars for letting me go there when all other US soldiers were banned due to fighting. Great bands, great drinks and great people. Thanks for the memories. BTW, I dont blame you for me meeting my ex wife there that fateful Wednesday night.

Full Irish Breakfast is done correctly, with proper bacon (not 'streaky' American bacon). They have loads of TVs for all the football, rugby, and cricket you can stand. I prefer O'reilly's over The Dubliner on Hauptstrasse. Both are good in their own ways but O'Reilly's feels more authentic to me. There is a separate smoking room and on Friday nights they offer Karaoke. It doesn't get the full 5 stars because when it comes down to it, its still a pub.

The entrance off Kaierstrasse might cause you to look twice - go through an old passageway, on your right is the cloakroom and up the stairs is the Orange Peel bar itself. Unlike many other places in Frankfurt, this is an easy-going, un-self-conscious venue, with a friendly atmosphere, unostentatious interior and broad mix of clientele. We got there just after 9pm for the Tuesday blues night, and the crowd (thin at 9.15pm, packed out by 11.30pm) was a mix of students, middle-aged types, hipsters and grey-haired blues fans. The booze was pretty cheap and the bar service was quick and friendly. No food - eat before you come! Most importantly, the music was very good. The house band played for an hour, serving up well-executed blues tinged with a hint of funk - one or two standards (like Hoochie Coochie Man, which they nailed) and some rarities. Although the leader is Tommie Harris on drums, the MC'ing was done by the guitarist, who chatted away to the crowd in a mix of German and English (at least half of the band are originally from the US as far as I can tell). The second half of the evening was 'open stage' with all comers welcome to join the house band for a number or two. Fun times; we were sorry we had to leave before the night was over. The crowd were still cheering on the band and the open stage guests, who ranged from OK to excellent. If you bring your guitar, and you know the opening licks for 'Jonny B Goode', then you too might be able to join in ...
