Casa Mago, Torino, Italy

Casa Mago, the cocktail lounge of the Michelin-starred Mago Rabin restaurant in Torino, is simply one of the best cocktail spots in town.

Slippbarinn, Reykjavik, Iceland

When searching for a Martini bar in the northern capital of the world, a place where you can get booze only in special liquor stores, I opted for what seems to be the oldest cocktail bar in town (which actually is not even 10 years old...). The Slippbarinn is located on the ground floor of the …

Spirits Botique, Olbia, Italy

The Spirits Boutique bar is a small gem in Olbia, on the nort east Sardinian coast. The place is something between a bar and a liquors shop, created by bartender Emilio Rocchino with the idea of becoming a reference for the many bars and restaurants of the nearby Costa Smeralda (or at least for those …

Macondo, Bologna, Italy

A cocktail bar in Via del Pratello, the students' area in the city with the olderst university in the western world, where beer and wine is normally what you get (and not of the best quality)?

The Clockwork Rose, Bristol, UK

As I often say, sometimes it is not you searching for the best bar, it is the best bar coming to you. Thai is what happened to me in Bristol, when after having searched for a good cocktail bar without success (despite the fact that the city is packed with bars, mostly students-oriented), I popped …

El Palatino, Rabat, Morocco

Expectedly, Rabat is not a cocktail city, especially if you want to avoid minstream hotels chains. But it is definietly a party place where you can get proper booze also in local places, such as the Palatino. The place is a cool and quite bar at 7pm, and a crazy and noisy grotto from 10pm …

Scarlet, Barbados

 Barbados is not a place where you'll find many cocktail bars, unless you want to end up in a 5 stars hotel sipping a rum punch (which is very good by the way). Still, a small gem is hidden on the island: the Scarlet bar. You'll have to look for a totally scarlet wooden house on the …

Green Door Bar, Berlin, Germany

A good bar should be about good drinks, a wise man once told me. This must also be the philosophy of Herr Fritz Müller-Scherz, owner of the Green Door bar in Schöneberg in Berlin, since the feeling you have when you enter his bar (after having to ring in front of a big green door, quite a speakeasy …
