About
Four pearls, four pillars, one bar
4PEARLS isn’t something started from scratch, it’s a coming together: four Frankfurt organisers who have so far each run their own nights are now making one place together.
Patrizia Scholdra
Bar & Operations
Years of experience behind the bar at La Gata. She knows how a night behind the bar really runs: orders, stock, rotas – and when it’s better to leave a glass where it is and just listen.

Four pillars become one place

Where the name comes from
Four pearls
Four founders – and a nod to Sapphic Pearls, where part of the team comes from.
A pearl forms because something gets into the shell that doesn’t belong there. All the more fitting for a place that only exists because something was missing in this city.
“There are FLINTA* offerings, there are all sorts of parties … but they’re temporary, they don’t last”
