Ba-Bar

Top choice in Naples


Swinging, candlelit Ba-Bar is a solid all-rounder, punctuated with quirky vintage objects and pulling a friendly, mixed crowd. It's a top spot for a pre-dinner aperitivo, a lingering catch-up in the cosy back room, or a foosball game in the basement. Cocktails are well mixed, with a rotating list of interesting Italian wines, as well as local and foreign beers.

On the food front, bites range from graze-friendly platters of quality regional cheeses and charcuterie, to panini, pasta dishes, salads and a handful of mains.
