Locale

A building with an ancient and unique history, closely linked to the political grandeur of the Florence of the Medici, which became an icon for its stunning interior design.

"Locale" not only is the ultimate bar of Florence and Tuscany, but it is also the beautiful and well-deserved stage that every night hosts the successful performance of Bar Manager Matteo Di Ienno and his "experimental" cocktails.

It is thanks to him and to General Manager Faramarz Poosty, of course with the help of a young as well as organized and willing staff, that the cocktail bar located in Via delle Seggiole has managed to create an identity so strong as to allow Florence to enter - for the first, and so far only, time - the international bar scene. Last year, the bar ranked in the 50 Best, although in the last positions; this year it has even climbed up to the thirthy-ninth position.

Matteo's whimsical mixing offer relies on a bottle rack as scenic as it is full of labels and it is divided, following the natural course of the seasons, into three triptychs of drinks based on a specific product. For example, the climax of strawberry that takes us from a "Fra Liscia" served in a cup with bourbon, lacto-fermented strawberry, lemon and egg white, to a "Fra Bassa" served in a low tumbler with gin and sour strawberry cordial, up to a "Fra Bolla", rigorously served in a flûte, with vodka, strawberry clear and yellow Chartreuse.

The average price of drinks is about 20 euros.
