VINO BAR

Situated just off Via Degli Orefici, this bar is just a walk away from the central Piazza Maggiore. It's one of those places that you really can say transforms itself at night. I can guarantee that you won't find it in broad daylight- all that you'll see is yet another shuttered establishment. However, if you're lucky enough to stumble across it between 7pm and 10.30pm, you'll see the place heaving with people. This bar is so busy that people take their glasses (or bottles) of vino and stand on the street outside.


I don't actually think this place has a real name. All that is visible is a small sign   stating 'VINO'. The smallness of the sign perfectly compliments the modest interior; wooden chairs and long tables that are always guaranteed to be occupied. There is a little stage area at the back that frequently hosts live local bands. I never quite get there on time to bag a table, but it's always more fun to stand out on the road with fellow drinkers.

The reason why this tucked away little bar attracts so many loyal customers is because of the quality and inexpensiveness of the vino. A glass of prosecco will set you back only 2euros and with not one taste of cheapness to go with it!

This place is definitely one of Bologna's hidden gems and deserves a visit!
