Tip: Open every night to 02:00, with a dinner reservation easier to land than a bar-only seat on weekends. The vaulted lower rooms with original Renaissance stonework are the seat to ask for.

Manifattura sits on the small Piazza di San Pancrazio off Via della Spada with a vintage-inspired dimly lit room dedicated entirely to Italian spirits and liqueurs, including a deep back bar of regional amari, vermouths, grappas and bitter aperitivi from across the country.
TipAsk the bartender to walk you through the amaro flight; the menu is a starting point. The Negroni built here references the cocktail's Florentine origin a few hundred metres away.
Rasputin tucks Florence's first true speakeasy behind an unmarked Borgo Tegolaio door in the Oltrarno, with a 45-seat candle-lit room dressed in red velvet, an extensive whisky back bar and a cocktail list that runs Prohibition classics alongside unexpected ingredient pairings.
TipRing the bell, then wait for the hatch to slide open. Reservation is required, no standing inside, and photography is banned. The location is deliberately misplaced on Google.
Mayday Club hides on Via Dante Alighieri opposite Dante's house with a vintage-radio-themed room run by mixologist Marco Arduino, whose cocktail programme leans on organic Tuscan botanicals, essential oils and small-batch infusions paired with nightly live music slots.
TipClosed Mondays; the room is small and books up on weekends so reserve ahead. The bar runs cocktail classes for groups of one to four with Arduino on Tuesday afternoons.
Bitter Bar opened in 2017 on Via di Mezzo in the Sant'Ambrogio quarter as a Roaring Twenties cocktail room run by mixologist Cristian Guitti, with a ring-the-bell entry, low jazz, and a list weighted toward Negroni variations and South American agave spirits.
TipReservations are required and easier to land midweek. The room is small and dimly lit; ask Guitti for an off-list build using pisco or mezcal.

Crisco Club has run on Via Sant'Egidio behind Piazza Santissima Annunziata for more than two decades as Florence's main gay cruise and fetish room, with themed nights including Naked-Jockstrap, a dark room, a late dance floor and a programme that runs Monday through Saturday.
TipClosed Sundays; weekend programming pushes past 04:00 and the room peaks after 01:00. Tessera at the door, leather and fetish dress codes for themed nights.
Piccolo Cafe has run a small pink-and-purple cocktail room a corner from the Basilica di Santa Croce since 1994, with a long-time queer regulars crowd, sidewalk seating spilling onto Borgo Santa Croce and a chatty after-work to late-night cadence.
TipTuesday through Saturday only; closed Sunday and Monday. The sidewalk is the room past 22:00 when the weather holds.
