Vie nocturne
Vie nocturne à Florence
Florence est une ville de bars à vin plus que de clubs : un verre sur les marches de Santo Spirito, un cocktail près du fleuve.

Volume
A bar on Piazza Santo Spirito in the former workshop of a craftsman who carved wooden hat forms, with the old tools and machinery kept as decor. Casual, cheap by Florence standards and busy from aperitivo until late; drinks often end up on the church steps.
Le Volpi e l'Uva
A small wine bar in Piazza dei Rossi, just across Ponte Vecchio, focused on Italian wines from small producers by the glass, with cheese and cured meats. A good antidote to the crowds a minute away.
Il Santino
The tiny wine bar of Il Santo Bevitore, a few doors away on Via di Santo Spirito, with a short list of natural and small-producer wines and plates to share. Standing room spills onto the street.
Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina
A wine bar and small restaurant facing Palazzo Pitti, with a deep Tuscan list and tables on the piazza. Sources disagree on opening days; check before going.
La Terrazza at Hotel Continentale
A rooftop bar on a medieval tower at the north end of Ponte Vecchio, with views along the river to the dome. Seasonal and weather-dependent; outside guests have generally needed a booking with a minimum spend. Check current terms with the hotel.
Locale Firenze
A cocktail bar inside a medieval palazzo near the Bargello, with elaborate drinks and a dramatic interior. Expensive, dressy by Florence standards, and best booked.
Rasputin
A speakeasy-style cocktail bar in the Oltrarno with no sign outside and a 1920s look inside. Reservations are needed and the booking process is part of the act; check the official site.
