Best bars in Florence

Florence drinks among its palazzi and piazzas, and Locale Firenze pours modernist Tuscan cocktails within the stone walls of a Renaissance palazzo. Gucci Giardino, a 16-seat café and cocktail bar on Piazza della Signoria, serves Martina Bonci's colourful signatures. At Giacosa, a historic café whose name goes back to the nineteenth century, the Negroni and its variations take centre stage.
