snack selection.
Gold
WINE BAR
(Via dei Priori 7; 6pm-1am)
This lounge bar-cum-restaurant is maybe trying a bit too hard
to be classy with its endless 'gold' and 'luxury' theming. Still, it attracts a fun crowd and
has plenty of wine choices. Happy hour is from 6pm.
Entertainment
When the student population grows, some of the clubs on the outskirts of town run a bus
to Palazzo Gallenga, starting around 11pm. Students hand out flyers on Corso Vannucci,
so check with them or ask at the steps. Most clubs get going around midnight, so it's
worth remembering that the
scale mobili
stop running at 2am.
