To craft rugged luxury itineraries for open minded explorers seeking faraway and bespoke experiences
Drinking in the city center of Florence can get expensive, and though most people here are on vacation, breaking the bank entirely usually isn’t an option. Need to know the low-down on drink specials? Here is a list of my top 5 places to go for deals in Florence!
Every Wednesday at 6 some of the best aperitivo in town, at the best price, is put on by the students of Florence University of the Arts. Culinary students cook, and the hospitality and management students serve. Entrance is only €5, which includes a cocktail or wine, and drinks after that are only €5 each. The food keeps coming until around 10 or 11, and there are plenty of different options. The bartender is one of the best mixologists I’ve ever had, and the environment is very friendly. Sit inside at a booths, or outside in the patio lounge area. Either way is sure to be a good time.
Adress: Via dei Macci, 85R, 50122 Firenze

For more late night rambunctious activities, head over to The Lion’s Fountain, and if you’re feeling extra rowdy, walk on out to the sister bar, Uncle Jimmy’s Irish Pub. Just show your American Student ID and purchase one of their € 1 Livestrong-style wristbands, and get a free shot with every drink purchase while you’re here. This is great for study abroad students looking to party the night away.

Need to step away from the Italian food for a minute and soak in some Mexican-style atmosphere? The the margaritas at Tijuana are beautiful, glorious, and BIG. Hit a few of these bad boys and feel festive while enjoying happy hour out on the patio.
