★★★★★a month agoHad 3 excellent nights here, the drinks are really good, the staff are super friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. First night we dropped in for a couple of drinks but didn't stay long as we had been out all day. The second night we went with purpose and arrived around opening time at 9pm and kept drinking till just before 2am, I would honestly have closed the night out at 3am when they shut if my wife could have stayed awake! After ordering a few drinks I just chatted to the staff and asked for recommendations, almost 5 hours later every drink we had were genuinely great. Did our 3rd night just before we had to fly home and got some realIy nice food too. I don't usually do cocktail bars but I think I've caught the bug in Italy. Luca, Stephano & Russ were all great company and make great drinks - special mention to Luca though as I put him on the spot with drinks recommendations more than anyone and he always had a thoughtful, considered choice. These guys love what they do and it really shows. Tomorrow I fly home but I think I can fit another trip in tonight. On the subject of prices as you are always asked average spend per person - most drinks we had were around €10 so that's what I put but be warned if you stay for 5 hours like me you may get through 10 or so drinks 😊

★★★★★a month agoVery nice bar in Verona. Hidden down a side street on a basically unmarked door - just look for the 5 that corresponds to the address. Cocktails are a little out there and different but very good, they also have a huge selection of liquors and were very helpful in picking out some good amaro to end the night. Nice vibe inside - very intimate - would recommend.
