The Stickhouse is the first of its kind in Bologna. Established in March 2010, as part of a franchising chain, it has grown from strength to strength in just a short period.

This building was the ancient “Salara”, a salt and grain warehouse built between 1783-1785. Previously, this immediate area underwent a major transformation to open up the city’s waterways to boats. In 1548, work began under Jacopo Barozzi from Vignola and Jacopo Marcoaldi from Bologna to erect a new port and canals, hence the importance of [...]

Thursday, October 20th, 2011
This Osteria has the unique status as being one of the oldest in Europe. Since 1465 Osteria del Sole, in the historic quarter of Bologna, has been serving wine to local traders and shoppers alike and apparently has changed little over the centuries. One official record from 1871, states that this tavern was owned by [...]

Thursday, October 20th, 2011
Established in 2005, this little cafe bar lies on Via Parigi, parallel with one of the city’s main streets and shopping areas called Ugo Bassi. It’s a very impressionable place and worthy of a passing visit since – like no other bar – it simply dazzles the eyes on entry. Cicicleo pops out like a [...]

Saturday, October 8th, 2011
Situated in a little side street just in front of Piazza Maggiore is where one of the first Irish pubs in Bologna was born. It was inaugurated on Monday 12th of June 1995, and by all accounts was immediately adopted as one of their own by the locals. The Celtic Druid name itself is derived [...]

Saturday, October 8th, 2011
In the heart of medieval Bologna, this cafe bar takes up the north-westerly corner of Palazzo Re Enzo that dates back to 1245. The fortified walls and traces of ancient architecture are still very much in evidence even inside. Caffe La Linea though, has its own curious story to tell, albeit a little more modern [...]
