The Best Bar in Florence, Italy

Background Illustration for Nightlife

Florentines are rather proud of their nightlife options. Most bars now have some sort of happy hour, which usually lasts for many hours and often has snacks that can substitute for a light dinner. (Check whether the buffet is free or comes with the price of a drink.) Clubs typically don't open until very late in the evening, and don't get crowded until 1 or 2 in the morning.

Le Murate

Santa Croce

Florence may be known as an epicenter of Renaissance art, but for something different, join locals at this former convent and prison that is now a contemporary art gallery, café, and event space. Works by artists from across the globe are showcased here—where former prison cells are often used as exhibit space—and there's an emphasis on multimedia installations. There's live music on many nights, and the kitchen and bar offer classic cocktails, aperitivo-fare, and full meals until late.
