The 6 Best Bars in Turin

Updated October 2026

Turin is where vermouth was born, at the Savoy court and in the city's liquor shops in the late 1700s, and the aperitivo still runs through its squares and lanes. The best bars in Turin sit in San Salvario, the nightlife district, around Piazza Vittorio Veneto, one of Europe's largest squares, and in the historic center. Bar Cavour belongs to Del Cambio, which opened as a café in 1757 on Piazza Carignano, and keeps a private fumoir called the Stanza Verde. In San Salvario, D.One, opened in 2017, runs signature menus built around Jules Verne and the Americano, while Affini works with traditional liqueurs, herbs and tinctures and sells its own Turin gin. La Drogheria on Piazza Vittorio Veneto, which dates itself to 2002, pours a mezcal, loquat and soy cocktail called Pomodoh!. Azotea on Via Maria Vittoria is a Nikkei cocktail restaurant pairing Peruvian and Japanese flavors, and booking is required. Piano 35 Lounge Bar opens on the 37th floor of the Intesa Sanpaolo tower with views to the Alps. These are the six we would start with.
