Best Bars in Bari

Check out these top watering holes when you are in the southern Italian city of Bari.

El Chiringuito is right on the docks looking over the port, where you can watch the fishermen selling their catch. Get yourself a cold Peroni, the typical beer of Bari, and tuck into some panzerotti, a regional baked treat that consists of fried dough stuffed with mozzarella and tomato.

For a more elegant evening out, try Terrazza delle Nazioni, perched on top of the Hotel delle Nazioni on the Bari waterfront. You can eat as well as drink at this refined spot, which gives great views over the city.

Noise is a more lively place, popular despite being absolutely tiny. You’ll likely have to spill out onto the street to enjoy your drink, but there is often live music for entertainment.

Taverna del Maltese is relaxed in the daytime, when coffee is the tipple of the choice, before livening up in the evening, when the lights go down and live music performances begin.

If you want to peruse some art while you enjoy a drink, try Demode Club. This exhibition space and music venue hosts larger events as well as regular club nights.
