    Great beer place. No restaurant so feed before. Big selection taps, bigger selection of bottles in the fridges. Bartender was very nice and talkative, you can buy a tasting of five beers and the place is cozy. TV for sport fanatics and some games for the social ones.

    Excellent brewery located on the other side of the river, opposite the Ufizzi museum. I would say it's one of the best breweries I've been to, regardless of country. They had some amazing beers, their Pilsner has a subtle honey flavor to it that makes it incredibly flavorful and easy drinking. This brewery does do flights, which we found to not be very common in Italy, so we were able to try every beer that they brewed. I thought that everyone of their beers we in the above average category, and a couple falling into the great category.

    Nice and cosy at atmosphere. The stuff is very helpful and kind. They have a variety of beers which is not too big but at the same time big enough to “cover” the needs of different tastes.

    Fun little beer bar in Santo Spirito, we ended up coming here twice. Friendly bartender who knew his products and was great at giving advice. Nice mix of locals and travellers. Excellent beer list, both on tap and bottles. I felt at home here.

    This understated pub was the only one I found in Italy that felt like home. Great beer selection. I had Archea's Hydra IPA, a nice one, . The crowd inside (not the ones outside in the unassuming entryway) were all locals, except for a few I met who were from the US. There was a surprise birthday party going on for one of the regulars there and they shared cake with all the people in the bar. Highly recommend, very good people.

    The is a great bar with an excellent selection of craft beer. We had a delicious Archea IPA and Italian pilsner, it was very cold - much needed in the humidity. I’d love to give this place five stars but heavy metal isn’t my thing. 😫

    Went in a couple of times when staying on this street. Friendly welcome and a good selection of local craft beers.

    Amazing and cozy craft beer bar Amazing service with knowledgeable staff that can really help you with a wise decision. They have flights to try their draft beer in over 10 different taps. Plus a wide selection of cans or bottles to try more! Free WiFi

    Great place, great staff and great music! Nice selection of beer and the staff is very friendly and happy to help and explain everything. Wish we could have discovered it earlier and not on our last day in Florence. Totally recommended!

    Best beer experience in Italy so far. Wide range of taps, from Bitter to Sour to West Coast IPA, to Barleywine, and more, all well made with a bottle srlection that was WORLD CLASS. These guys know beer and will take care of you. Great restruants in the area. Staff speak English and are super friendly. Can not revommend more highly, wish I had found them sooner.

    Great little beer bar and bottle shop. Wish they had food, but I can't complain about the friendly relaxed staff and the great selection of craft beers, both foreign and domestic.

    Archea Brewery has something for every craft beer lover with an extensive selection. Plenty on tap and hard to find (in the States) bottles. There is a small outdoor seating area, indoor seating, darts, a clean restroom and welcoming staff.

  • 4/5 Lynn H. 1 year ago on Google
    A wide range of beers starting at €5 upwards. They come in either 0.2l, 0.3 or 0.4l. They also come in different strengths and from different countries. The staff was friendly and helpful. The background music is good. The price of the beer is city prices and are a bit expensive.

    Great place to get a craft beer! Friendly welcome, wide selection and very nice ambiance. The IPAs we picked were very good, too.

  • 5/5 John F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of Archea and other local beers with a chill, laid back vibe.

  • 5/5 Mark Der M. 1 year ago on Google
    Tight little brew stop. Really nice beer lineup. Beertender was friendly and helpful. Crowd was relaxed and having fun. Nice wind down for us after dinner. Lots of activity every night.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beer. Super friendly and helpful staff who allowed us to try tasters of local Italian beers.

  • 5/5 Matthew B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good variety of beers outside of their own and all the ones we had from Arches were great. Friendly staff who are very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Edward B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of craft beers with friendly service in a nice pub setting.

  • 5/5 Ben F. 1 year ago on Google
    Best beers and Florence. They have beer they make themselves, along with microbrews from around Italy. If you enjoy IPA's, stouts, stouts, and other kinds of beer, this place definitely worth checking out.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the best place in all of Florence to get great craft beers.

  • 5/5 Joseph M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place for local craft beers. We had come straight from Venice and I found it a shame to be drinking Moretti or Becks which you can get everywhere. Here they had some interesting Italian beers, including a good wheat beer. It was nice and cool inside (struggling with the July heatwave), the bartender was friendly and made recommendations in English, and they were playing some cool rock music. Would definitely recommend to fans of good music and beer when visiting, might even go again this same trip.

  • 5/5 Joe W. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool little pub offering a number of different craft beers from within Italy. Nice atmosphere and staff serving you. Would definitely recommend for a quick drink if you’re in the area. We stopped in prior to dinner and had a lovely time

  • 5/5 Steffan C. 2 years ago on Google
    We were visiting from San Francisco for our honeymoon. I really enjoyed both beers I had here. Both had flavors that I had not experienced in the US. We would visit again.

  • 4/5 Terry M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not bad good beer IPA

  • 5/5 Brett R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great selection of Italian craft beer! About 10 beers on tap, with a variety of options (IPA, Gose, Stout, lager) and several cans and bottles. A few Archea beers and several other breweries on the list. Knowledgeable and friendly bartender.

😐 Not gonna lie, this is probably the most underwhelming Eataly location I've ever visited. Eataly locations are usually grandiose with impeccable service, but this one felt like a little corner store in Disneyland.
