LAURUS | cocktails in style

The ultimate cocktail bar in town, Laurus serves ourstanding drinks in a warm, romantic, welcoming ambience. They know what they are doing.

Designed with a nice vintage feel, the space looks really good: I like to hang at the desk but I don’t mind the cozy back-room with sofas, and the outside area in the neo-classic piazzetta is lovely too.

I’m not myself big fan of cocktails, but frankly when I visit Laurus I always end up digging more and more into theyr creative seasonal menu. In summer they are also in Gallpoli, where they took over the rooftop bar at the Palazzo Presta hotel

BOTTEGA FIORE | wine & more

Of the many good bars in the shopping district, this one Bottega Fiore is to be noted. The owner is in the business from 40 years now… he knows what he is doing. I like it how they keep it simple, nothing pretentious but everything well done.

So if you plan (yes, a reservation will do!) to take a break from the Lecce shopping and in the mood for serious Gin Tonic and gourmet bites, this is the place. it is formally a wine shop though, and the choice of local cantines is as smart as vast.

After work to late night La Bottega is crowded with 40+ professionals who really love their drinks and eventually come here before the parties

IL BARROCCIO | music kiosk

Everybody in town know this simple kiosk with tons of tables outside, where tens of people from the most desparate backgrounds gather noon to late night for coffe, cocktaills & Ipa beers to the sound of great music from dj’s and international live acts.

Theyr weekly live jams attract massive crowds, it can turn big fun. No table service, it is all basic and unpretentious here.
