Monkey Bar
(Via della Mattonaia 20r; 6pm-2am)
Duck behind Sant' Abrogio market to find this busy
pub, packed most nights with a mix of Florentine and foreign students downing shots and
sipping cocktails. Italian double-act Lorenzo and Freddy are the duo behind the place.
PUB
Lion's Fountain
(
www.thelionsfountain.com
; Borgo degli Albizi 34r; 10am-2am)
If you have the urge to hear
more English than Italian - or to hear local bands play - this is the place. Plump on a
pretty pedestrian square, Florence's busiest Irish pub buzzes in summer when the beer-
loving crowd spills across most of the square.
IRISH PUB
Eby's Bar
(Via dell'Oriulolo 5r; 10am-3am Mon-Sat)
A lively student crowd packs out this young, fun,
colourful address with wooden-benches tucked outside in a covered alleyway. The kitchen
is Mexican.
LATIN BAR
Kitsch
(

;
Viale A Gramsci 5; 6.30pm-2.30am; )
This hipster American-styled
bar is known among cent-conscious Florentines for its lavish spread at
aperitivi
time -
€8.50 for drink and sufficient nibbles to not need dinner. It sports a dark-red theatrical in-
terior and a bright 20s-to-early-30s crowd out for a good time. DJ sets set the place rock-
ing after dark.
BAR
Blob Club
(Via Vinegia 21r; 11pm-3am Mon-Wed, to 5am Thu-Sat)
No surprise that Florence's trendiest
club of the moment is in its hippest part of town. Small and edgy, Blob lures an interna-
tional crowd with its music theme nights - loads of '60s, hip hop, alternative rock, all
sounds in fact. No entrance fee, but first-timers need to buy a membership card (€20).
