Get it? You get it!

Lame play on words aside…

If you’re living in Florence chances are you’ve done your fair share of sitting around on church steps in famous piazzas, drinking with your friends and trying to figure out what to do or where to go next.

Just in case sitting on stone cold stairs isn’t your thing,

we’ve compiled a list of our favorite nightlife hotspots to visit this weekend,

so put on your fancy pants!

Start your night off with an aperitivo or pre-dinner drink. For those of you not familiar with aperitivo, you’ll love it!

This is one of Italy’s favorite social activities: It’s way to get together with friends before dinner for a drink or two and a light snack to “stimulate the apetite”. I always end too stuffed for dinner after these things so you can skip the restaurant if this sounds like you! Anyway before I get too side-tracked, for 10 Euro or less you get a cocktail that will knock your socks off and access to an all you can eat buffet of h’orderves! Not bad!

Careful though! Not all aperitivo bars were created equal…

Some places will recycle old food and skimp out on the alchol in their cocktails!

You can’t go wrong with the places we will recommend for aperitivo. They are trendy, chic, and affordable! Best of all, they have good food and great booze! 

• Rivalta Café

• Sei Divino

• Il Rifrullo

If after dinner your still hungry steer away from the usual tourist-fly-traps.

We have some pretty sweet places to recommend for some serious noshing!

These are great restaurants and easy on the wallet too! Don’t forget to book ahead!

• 5 e Cinque or Trattoria 4 Leoni in Piazza della Passera, and

Osteria Santo Spirito in Santo Spirito (durr) are cozy yet trendy, and break the mould of traditional cuisine.

• Pizza lovers should definitely give Il Pizzaiuolo a shot in Sant’Ambrogio.

 • If you’re craving something a little more exotic, ditch the Ramen Noodles and try DimSum near the Uffizzi.

After dinner you can top-up your alcoholic buzz and do a little pre-gaming at any of these great bars before it’s time to go clubbing

• Rex Café

• Volume

• Moyo

When it’s finally time to go dancing please, please, please don’t go to Space Electronic. Don’t do that to yourself!

If you like glow sticks, dark rooms illuminated only by scintillating lasers and stroboscopic lights, heavy bass lines, fog machines, and dancing yourself into a hypnotic state, these are the places for you!

• Babylon

• Yab

• Tenax 

 These are all places I go to very often, so I might run into while I’m there!

If you have any questions about any of these places or what to do, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
