More nightlife in Florence

Divina Terrazza at Grand Hotel Cavour ★ 4.3

€€€ Centro StoricoTue-Sun 17:00-23:00, closed Mon

Divina Terrazza crowns the Grand Hotel Cavour on Via del Proconsolo with a covered sixth-floor terrace that frames the Bargello, the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, running year-round with heat lamps in winter and vaporizers in summer alongside an American bar programme.

TipReservations are essential since the deck is small; cocktails sit around 18 to 20 euros. The covered terrace works in the cooler months when other Florence rooftops shut.

Picteau Cocktail Bar ★ 4.5

€€€€ OltrarnoDaily 11:00-23:00

Picteau anchors the Hotel Lungarno lobby on Borgo San Jacopo with a salotto-style room hung with Picasso and Cocteau pieces and a terrace pointed straight at Ponte Vecchio, where bartenders Marco Colonnelli and Vincenzo Civita run a cocktail programme paired with the Borgo San Jacopo kitchen.

TipThe riverside terrace is the seat in summer; the indoor lounge with the Picasso fireplace works year-round. Cocktails run around 22 euros.

Locale Firenze ★ 4.7

€€€€ Centro StoricoDaily 19:30-02:00

Locale Firenze occupies the thirteenth-century Palazzo delle Seggiole with a cocktail programme ranked fifteenth on the 2025 Top 500 Bars list, set across multiple basement levels of vaulted stone where the bar team pairs modern mixology with a restaurant kitchen.

TipOpen 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.

Rasputin ★ 4.7

€€€ OltrarnoTue-Sun 19:30-02:00, closed Mon

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 ★ 4.6

€€€ Centro StoricoTue-Sat 20:00-02:00, closed Sun-Mon

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 ★ 4.5

€€€ Sant'ambrogioDaily 20:00-02:00

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.
