Viale A Gramsci 5; 6.30pm-2.30am; )
This hipster American -styled
bar in Santa Croce 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 interior and a bright 20s- to early 30s- crowd out for a good time. DJ sets set
the place rocking after dark.

Around since 1980, Danny Rock
was given a new lease of life in late 2012 when new management waltzed in and re-
vamped the place. Artisanal beer from around the globe is its main draw these days,
alongside a bright and breezy interior, food all day, and charismatic owner Cosimo Lavac-
chi behind the bar.
