The Best Bars in Naples

L'Antiquario

L'Antiquario is a speakeasy-inspired den in the Chiaia district of Naples, wrapped in art nouveau wallpaper and opened by the Neapolitan bartender Alex Frezza. The list mixes classic recipes with contemporary inventions, and the room leans on live jazz midweek.

Bidder Bar

Bidder Bar sits on the sixth floor of the Grand Hotel Parker's on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, looking out over the Gulf of Naples. The hotel serves creative cocktails here alongside a traditional menu. A partnership with Campari has produced seven Spritz variations inspired by the seven Muses of the terrace.

Scotto Jonno

Anthill

Anthill is a contemporary cocktail and tapas bar on the fifth floor of Via Toledo 177 in Naples, a project of chef Giuseppe Iannotti. The venue pitches itself as a place to feel in Naples, New York and Barcelona at the same time. Its cocktails are served alongside a tapas menu, and bookings are taken by email.

Astronomia

Astronomia is a secret bar in central Naples, reached through a hidden door at the back of the Gaaastronomia deli on Via Ferdinando del Carretto and down a flight of stairs. After a drinks list built around the signs of the zodiac, the bar has moved to a new menu themed on the planets and the solar system. The room pairs a black and white chequered floor with hot air balloon wallpaper and rough textured walls.
