Art Bar is a cozy spot right in "pieno centro." It's small and dimly lit with an unpretentious and simple yet elegant interior. True to their venue's name, the talented bartenders here prove that cocktail making is an art form!
It's one of few worthwhile "watering holes" right near Santa Maria Novella and its surroundings—SMN is one of Florence's most central areas, yet it's severely lacking in good nightlife options. Cocktail prices are a little high compared to the local average but you get bang for your buck. Expect elaborately garnished daquiris, mojitos and more.
If they forget to bring it to you, remind the staff that you'd like your complimentary popcorn, mixed nuts and other snacks!
