    This place is literally the opposite of a tourist trap!! The prices are out of this world (cheap compared to other surrounding bars) and the drinks are very good and strong. Strongest negroni I ever had but it was amazing. The vibe of the bar is great, the place is always buzzing and the staff is very friendly. If you’re looking for a local bar which won’t try and rip you off this a must visit when in Florence. Will definitely return 👏

    Cheap drinks in dirty and messy environment. Not really a bar. People are mainly getting their cheap drink and sit on the road. Popular among young foreigner teenagers on budget.

    We found this great little ‘hole in the wall’ bar by accident as it was just down the road from our hotel. Great staff, so friendly even to a couple of oldies like us. The prices are phenomenal wish they were as cheap at home. An amazing mix of customers most very friendly. If you’re in the area in the evening its a great place for aNegroni.

    Amazing fresh cocktails at a super cheap price, actually shocking how little you have to spend for such a great experience, sometimes it gets a bit crowded so try going early for the best experience.

    Super inexpensive and WORTH THE WAIT. The drinks are soooo reasonably priced, and the wait is long but fun. I would come here again for sure! Shots are only 1.5 euros! Not a great idea for your main spot but a good stop to add along the way. I will say the bathrooms were quite horrible but the cheapness of the drinks kind of makes up for it. Had a good time! The staff were super friendly and it’s a great location for a pre-game!

    Lovely little place. Great place to grab a drink! Very affordable and friendly, they serve in plastic cups so always a nice way to get a drink to take to your favourite spot!

    Easy drinks at brilliant prices. Perfect pre-drinks before a night out in Florence. Staff are relaxed, easy going and have decent language skills. Perfect

    Tiny little bar. The Box, is a great name. Lots of people were hanging out right outside and inside against what we thought were all windows that we didn't realize was a door. This is college atmosphere artsy place with mix 'n' match collection of seating. We were served in plastics cups, but the beer & wine selections were perfect for our needs.

    Raw rustic drinking only place …

  • 5/5 David M. 7 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Perfect spot for hang out. Cheap drinks and really great people around.

  • 5/5 Maciej P. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place with a good atmosphere and friendly service. A bit off the beaten track, great if you want to escape from all the tourists. Good wine, good drinks, tasty bruschetta!

  • 5/5 Ahanu B. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent prices, pleasant yet quirky atmosphere, and a reasonably good selection of cocktails and beers. They were out of some beers when I visited on a Monday night, but the prices made up for it. Friendly staff. Highly recommended for a quieter, more affordable bar experience in Florence.

  • 5/5 Matt P. 4 years ago on Google
    Probably the best place to grab a drink in Florence! Wonderful atmosphere within and around the bar, unique design with the best prices I have come across. Very friendly service and a place to socialize. Would highly recommend the place! 💯

  • 5/5 ellen h. 11 months ago on Google
    All we had was the Aperol spritz but it was not only really cheap (€3.50) but also really tasty. All in all a cute small place.

  • 5/5 Marie F. 7 years ago on Google
    Fantastic local bar serving cocktails, gin, whiskey, wines, and draft beers at reasonable prices. L'aperitivo includes fresh popcorn and crostini. Small and intimate, with only a few tables. Rustic decor includes ivy-covered ceiling and exposed beams. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Matt H. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap prices and friendly staff. You could quite easily miss this place but it's worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Irene S. 4 years ago on Google
    Little hidden place in the middle of a lane but right in the city centre. Nice people behind the bar and cheap beer. Bring a good jacket grab a beer and chill outside.

  • 5/5 Merle O. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cheap and great cocktails! You have to wait in line for some time to get to the bar and order a drink, but it’s worth it!

  • 5/5 Robert M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely staff. Great prices for drinks and a wide variety. Alternative style, bar. Chess boards available and very welcoming. Off the beaten track vibe . Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Ben Van D. 7 years ago on Google
    Hard to find if you're not looking for it and, probably, therefore a must to go to when you're in Florence. This bar has very affordable wine and cocktails and if you're lucky they'd even test some of their new inventions on you! For free of course :-)

  • 5/5 Maria Grazia Erika G. 1 year ago on Google
    Aperol Spritz for 3 euro, do I need to say more? This place is a little hidden gem in the heart of Florence!!

  • 5/5 Elizaveta H. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly staff, cheap but good quality drinks, we really enjoyed our evening there! 😍

  • 5/5 Samantha H. 2 years ago on Google
    Top quality cocktails, amazing price (3€ for a spritz), great soundtrack and super friendly bartender. Best place I've been in Florence for sure (and I've been to many)!

  • 5/5 Kenny H. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is friendly, cheap and has great drinks. Will always choose to have cocktails here if I have the chance. Love a good dive bar and there are few and far between in this area of Firenze.

  • 5/5 Kilian H. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible small & cozy bar! Met some great Italian folks there and had an amazing evening. Super fair prices, tap beer 3-4 €, Spritz or Negroni same. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Mario M. 2 years ago on Google
    You know how they say that the things that are most valuable are best hidden? That is absolutely applicable to this bar. Fantastic drinks, unbeatable prices, extremely friendly bartenders. Probably best if you don't come too often because then I'll always be able to find a place to sit.

    Lovely little bar with great prices and amazing staff. Seems to be popular among the local youths and for a good reason. Will definitely be returning next time we come here, not only for the drinks but for the experience :)

😐 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.
