Pastis

The epicenter most frequented by young people in Bologna’s nightlife is in front of the entrance to the Mercato delle Erbe, where Via Belvedere has, in recent years, taken on an identity of its own thanks to a series of interconnected evening venues that enliven the urban setting with their characteristic outdoor spaces, crowded with patrons in every season. Pastis is one of the best-known and most loyalty-building establishments in this sense, distributing its clientele between the two venues facing each other: the first focused on a smart, dynamic offer, well stocked and commercially popular for every budget; the second, Cuvee, which explores classic recipes of both national and international mixology, developing more structured and refined twists, while maintaining a fair balance in terms of value for money.

It is an iconic venue for the Bolognese aperitivo, where fried bites, small plates, tapas and baked goods accompany the recipes of bar manager Francesco Marongiu, who varies them with every change of season. Examples include the Cotton Club—gin-based with raspberry, lemon, soda and coconut foam for sweet-toothed drinkers; the 21 Manhattan—based on Whiskey and Vermouth with Sherry and Maraschino, paying homage to the most iconic and traditional flavors; or the Back Room Punch—with Rum, black tea, honey, lemon and caramel, offering intense and slightly bitter notes.

An ideal solution for a younger crowd, who can find an absolutely competitive offer in an equally lively and convivial atmosphere.
