Apfelwein Solzer is a traditional apple wine tavern in Frankfurt-Bornheim that hosts family celebrations and large group dinners in four historic rooms and a summer garden of 300 seats. Seating ranges from 33 in the Kelterhaus to 300 in the garden.
Seminars and company events
The official site does not offer a meeting or seminar package. What it does say is that large groups are not a problem for the house, which designs celebrations in its historic, listed rooms. A team dinner, a department outing or a company get-together in a tavern setting fits this offer. Organisers who need projection, a stage or a quiet conference layout should ask the venue what each room provides before choosing it, since the site gives seat counts only.
Weddings and receptions
The site speaks of family celebrations and parties and offers to design the event in the historic rooms. It does not describe wedding packages or a ceremony space, so a wedding should be discussed directly with the family.
Rooms and capacities
- Summer garden: 300 seats, of which 150 are covered.
- Wirtschaft (the main tavern room): 50 seats.
- Halle: 50 seats.
- Hubertusstube: 35 seats.
- Kelterhaus: 33 seats.
These are the restaurant's own seat counts for regular service. For a closed event, the available layout and the number of guests per room are agreed with the team. The summer garden is outdoors and depends on the season and the weather, with the covered part offering shelter.
Catering
The kitchen cooks fresh dishes from first-class ingredients, with a regular menu and a changing daily menu for adults and children. The house presses its own apple wine, which is the signature drink of a Frankfurt tavern. The warm kitchen serves until 10:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, until 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and until 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. Opening hours are 5:00 p.m. to midnight on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and from noon on Sunday. Tuesday is the closing day.
History and setting
The building is first mentioned in the 16th century as a bakery and orchard tavern run by Johann Georg Neidlinger. From 1774 to 1808 it was the inn Zum goldenen Stern, then Zum weißen Roß, then Zum grünen Baum from 1817, and later Nassauer Hof from 1825. The Solzer family bought the property in 1893 and now run it in the fifth generation. Karl Solzer gave it the name Apfelwein Solzer in 1969. The rooms are heritage listed.
Getting there
The tavern is at Berger Straße 260, 60385 Frankfurt am Main, in the Bornheim district. The official site gives a map and directions on its contact page. Since the garden and the rooms share one kitchen and one team, booking early is advisable for large groups on Saturdays and Sundays.
