Black Lodge

Oltrarno


'No fear, just beer!' is the tongue-in-cheek strapline of this microbrewery, tucked away off the main strip in the hipster 'hood of San Frediano. Expect near on a dozen craft beers on tap, zany craft-beer cocktails, sport TV and live music. In summer the drinking action spills out of the exposed red-brick bar, strung with skateboards, onto the square in front.
