Add in a location with unusual decor and loud music, and you have an "experience" for having your drinks, and, ultimately, it all worked for us. Service was friendly, attentive, and both professional and invested in their product.

Didn't see anything on their list that we wanted so ordered a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned. Even though they had the ingredients for both, we were told to order from their list or no dice. Very strange.

Lit almost entirely by candle light and furnished with antique furniture, this lounge is warm and intimate. You almost get the feeling that you've stepped into a 20's era cult gathering. Perfect for a date night or small get together. The cocktail selection includes some of the most intriguing and exotic ingredients you'll find in a drink, from soy sauce and Jerk Spice Seasoning to yoghurt and black pepper. They are primarily a whiskey bar but their cocktails run the gamut when it comes to spirit selections. If you find yourself passing through Florence you absolutely HAVE TO find time for even just one of these unique concoctions.

We arrived a little late for our reservation and they made a big show of considering whether to let…read moreus in. Which is fair except that there were no other customers there! Then they made us sit at a tiny awkward table in the corner due to missing the reservation time. Again, this is while the entire room and all normal tables were empty. Only a couple of people arrived over the next hour. The atmosphere was very cool and the drinks were strong and delicious but 24 Euros each. Mixed experience for sure. We probably would have loved it and stayed longer had they just given us one of the many empty normal tables instead of punishing us for no reason.

Aperto dal 2011 Blanco Beach Bar è di fatto entrato, a buon diritto, nel cuore del pubblico fiorentino e non solo, tanto da essere considerato un vero punto di riferimento per le notti estive in città.

Aperto dal Giovedì (da Mercoledì 15 Giugno) al Sabato, Blanco Beach Bar propone serate diverse ma contraddistinte da un unico trait d'union, la voglia di divertirsi come fossimo in vacanza al mare!

We were seated right away but were told we could only stay for half an hour. Other reviews have it right, drinks are overpriced, but the ambiance & view are definitely nice.
