Donkey

A secret bar—or rather, a speakeasy 2.0—and one of the two House of Kong venues by Michele Collina and Simoncino Donà, this spot is an extension of Bologna’s nightlife, blending glamour and high-end mixology. Deliberate Prohibition-era inspirations shape its versatile spaces, which include private lounges, a cigar room, and the Gulliver Room, creating an exotic, colonial-style ambiance.

Since its opening, the bar has seen a succession of top-tier bartenders, and today, Andrea Ferraro aka Perry leads the way, curating a sophisticated bottle selection. His signature cocktails, especially suited for colder seasons, feature bold, peaty, and velvety flavors.

This venue embodies the mystique of the nightlife, thriving until the early hours with a commitment to exceptional drinking, paired with a gourmet kitchen serving oysters, foie gras, Jamón Ibérico, and more—all available late into the night.
