The 7 Best Bars in Naples

Updated November 2026

Naples runs on pizza and espresso, but a cocktail culture has grown up alongside them, sharpened with lemons and citron. The best bars in Naples sit in Chiaia, on Via Toledo and in the streets of the historic center. In Chiaia, behind the discreet doors of L'Antiquario, Alexander Frezza and his white-jacketed team pour Italian classics in a room of red velvet, floral wallpaper and dark wood; it is No. 28 on Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026 and serves a quad-citrus drink called Un Grande Limone. At the Grand Hotel Parker's, the sixth-floor Bidder Bar looks across the Gulf of Naples and pours seven spritzes named for the seven Muses. Anthill, chef Giuseppe Iannotti's cocktail and tapas bar, is on the top floor of the Gallerie d'Italia at 177 Via Toledo, and Astronomia calls itself a secret bar, on Via Ferdinando del Carretto. In the historic center, La Fesseria, tucked behind the University, is so small that people line up to get a drink, so expect a wait. These are the seven we would start with.
