Wine barWine bar€€Marina
Sabores is a Marina bottega in Cagliari on Via Baylle, Sardinian cheese and cured meat sold by weight and cut into boards for the aperitivo.
Signature drink: Vermentino by the glass
Food: Taglieri
Order: The large tagliere of Sardinian cheese and salumi.
Tip: Two board sizes, small and large, and both come with wine by the glass; the shop shelves are the souvenir run.
Wine barWine bar€€Villanova
Babeuf pairs tea, wine and slow reading on Via Giardini in Cagliari, a small Villanova room of cheese boards, tartare and shelves of magazines.
Signature drink: Natural wine by the glass
Food: Tartare and boards
Order: A tartare and a glass off the natural list.
Tip: It works better as a long early evening than a quick drink; the reading material on the shelves is there to be used.

Salsamenteria is a Cagliari bottega with a kitchen on Via Sonnino, cutting Sardinian cheese and cured meat to order for the counter and the tables.
Signature drink: Cannonau by the glass
Food: Cheese counter
Order: Su Cheese, the sushi-and-cheese play off the counter.
Tip: The Gambero Rosso 2026 guide lists it among the city's informal rooms; buy the cheese you liked on the way out.

Cronta Enoteca Winebar is a wine shop you can drink in on Viale Diaz in Cagliari, with boards of cheese and cured meat alongside the bottles.
Signature drink: Wine at shop price
Food: Cheese and salumi
Order: A Cannonau by the glass with a cheese board.
Tip: Closed Sunday and shut by 21:30 even at the weekend, so treat it as an early-evening stop rather than a late one.
GermanBeer hall€€VillanovaUntil 02:00
Brinkhoff's grills late on Via del Pozzetto in Cagliari, a German beer hall of pretzels, steaks and grappa whose kitchen runs on until 02:00.
Signature drink: German beer and grappa
Food: Grill and pretzels
Order: A grilled steak with a stein of German beer.
Tip: The kitchen stays on until 02:00, which covers the gap after concerts and late films; there is an outdoor space for the warm months.
BreweryBrewpub€€
Il Birrificio di Cagliari brews on Via Newton and pours its own beer beside grilled meat, the city's own brewpub rather than another bottle bar.
Signature drink: House-brewed lager
Food: Grilled meat
Order: The house lager alongside the grilled beef.
Tip: It took a Barcelona Beer Challenge gold for its Tuvixeddu; it sits out by the ring road, so it is a taxi rather than a walk from the Marina.
