glasses of wine.
Bar San Rocco
BAR
(Piazzetta San Rocco)
Hip about-towners head to San Rocco, the smoothest of the bars on
Piazzetta San Rocco, for early evening
aperitivi
(complete with bountiful bar snacks) and
cocktails late into the night. Inside, it's a narrow, stone-vaulted affair, but the main action
is outside on the vivacious
piazzetta
where summer crowds gather until the early hours.
Occasional live music and DJ sets fuel the laid-back vibe.
Café Giufá
( 0931 46 53 95; Via Cavour 25; closed Mon in winter)
A fun bar that spreads onto the tiny
square at the back, the Giufá has some good DJs who like reggae, jungle and dub beats,
and the crowd - including the bar staff - are jolly and friendly. Beer's the name of the
game here.
BAR
Il Blu
WINE BAR
(Via Nizza)
A superb wine bar with a cosy front porch near the waterfront, this is a great
place to take in the sun in between dips in the sea.
