Hoppy Ending in Naples' Vomero is the fashionable neighbourhood's craft beer specialist with six rotating taps of Italian ales and a curated fridge of international labels, a quieter alternative to the Chiaia beer crawl.
Tip: The Vomero location draws a local 25-35 crowd rather than tourists; ask the bar team for the Campanian tap recommendation.
Versa on Via Mezzocannone in Naples' Centro Storico is the university-district beer bar with 18 taps and two casks across three floors, the city's largest tap count and a DJ programme running Thursday to Saturday.
Tip: Happy hour runs 15:00 to 19:00 with reduced tap prices. The upper floors have seating when the ground floor is standing-room only.
Mosto in Naples' Chiaia is the city's most-visited craft beer hub (opened 2015) with 10 rotating Italian taps, an extensive can fridge and a bar that runs to 02:00 on weekends across three city branches.
Tip: The Chiaia location is the original and busiest. Arrive before 20:00 for a stool; after that it is standing room. The Vomero branch has a kitchen.
Il Birraiuolo in Naples' Centro Storico is a bottle shop and bar with six taps, a cask and shelves of curated Italian craft beer including dark lagers from Kbirr, the city's strongest reference for sour ales and farmhouse styles.
Tip: Closed Monday. The owner pours tasters before you commit; ask for the Campanian tap if available.
OAK in Naples' Centro Storico near Piazza del Gesu Nuovo is the city's best tap list for craft beer alongside a natural wine cellar, with a blackboard menu of dozens of rotating cans and bottles on a stylish Baroque street.
Tip: The weekend afternoon opening at 14:00 on Saturdays makes it the best pre-lunch beer stop in the Centro Storico.
