Upcoming Events at Sinkkasten

Sinkkasten traces its roots to the original Kellergewölbe in Mainstraße 2, Frankfurt, opening in 1971 as Sinkkasten Arts Club. After a relocation and expansion, the venue became a mainstay for Jazz, Blues, art, and theater. Following a period of closure and rebirth, the venue is today part of Zoom Frankfurt, located at Carl-Benz-Straße 21, offering multi-format spaces for a dynamic event experience. We’ve got you with straightforward access, seating information, and nearby hotels and dining to make your night easy.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the jazz greats who graced the stage or first-timers exploring Frankfurt’s cultural scene, Sinkkasten’s legacy is paired with modern, flexible spaces that host everything from intimate club nights to larger performances. Secure your seats with us and plan a smooth evening in Frankfurt’s city core.

Seating varies by the event space within Zoom Frankfurt’s complex. Expect a mix of accessible lounges, theatre-style seating in the SAAL (up to 1,800), and flexible arrangements in the CLUB (up to 500) and BAR areas (up to 200). Total capacity across spaces reaches approximately 2,700, with most attendees using nearby transit rather than on-site parking. Public transit is convenient, including RMV connections and tram stops such as Dieselstraße. Street parking is typically available nearby, along with several public garages in Frankfurt’s city center.

For visitors staying overnight, top hotel options within walking distance include Sofitel Frankfurt Opera (Opernplatz) and Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof (Am Kaiserplatz). We’ve highlighted partner hotels and dining suggestions to simplify your night out—perfect for catching a show and enjoying a meal or a drink after the performance.
