Lots... but let's see:

How young is "young" (18+ / 21+)?
Travelling alone or w/ sb else (friend/partner/...)?
You into sports / outdoor activities, or nightlife (straight/gay), or both?
How much cash to burn?
Got a car?
Speak German?

Further questions:

- What kind of clubs (music) would you prefer?

- On which weekdays will you be there?

We're talking Deutshland here, so do bring those brown loafers (sandals or Birkenstocks are OK too), and it's de rigueur to wear 'em w/ white socks!! Will get you into any nightclub no probs

I can recommend Rileys Bar in the center of the city nr the main train station.

I spent six weeks in FRA and we were there almost every night!!!!

Good Beer, 3 big screens if you're in to Sport, Karaoke on Fri,Sat night and plenty of nice lookin waitresses from Dublin!!!!

Do you mean O'Reilly's Irish Pub (across the road from the Main Station)?

Naah, not O'Reilley's, try McGowan's in Bornheim, or An Sibin in Wallstrasse (often has live music), for better craic.

OK, so it's pubs then. 'ere we go: Apart from
- the "Fox" Pubs and
- the Irish ones (see above - there's another McGowan's at the far end of Zeil)
- the Apple Wine places, very traditional German and often with very nice outdoor seating, namely: Gemaltes Haus, Wagner, Germania, Fichte Kranzi in Sachsenhausen, Stahlburg in the Nord End, Sonne and Solzer in Bornheim
- the Cocktail bars: 21st Jahrhundert, Oder Weg (near the Multiplex cinema), Rote Bar on Mainkai, Minibar on Berger Strasse, Vth Element near Eschersheimer Turm.
- for breakfast, try Café Karin (near Goethe Haus), Metropol (behind the Cathedral), or Ypsilon on Berger Strasse (esp. good for Sunday brunch).

- in other news, Turmpalast Cinema near Eschersheimer Tor has US and UK movies in English (i.e. not dubbed in German) on 7 screens, but the qualilty of both sound and image in Turm 3, 4, 5 and 6 screens is outright horrible, while 1, 2 and 7 are only just acceptable. Berger Kino on Berger Strasse has some movies "im Originalton" (not dubbed) and generally is much better kept, so check listings.

As a rule, AVOID the "Bahnhofsviertel" red light district (that's easier said than done, as it's located right across the street from the central train station).
