It seems to be shared with Alitalia, so if there are two front desk attendants, skip to the line of the attendant with the PP card if front. Lounge is not very nice or clean, but you can at least get a cold drink or a machine coffee. The biggest problem is that they are usually out of food and don't offer to do anything about it when you ask them, so don't expect too much there. Not the best lounge but they have big comfy leather couches and you can save $ on a drink at the very least.

A staff member came up to us and told us we couldn't sit at the table's because we ordered from the line and the tables were table service only. This was not clear. We then ordered two drinks from the worker to be able to sit at the table. The staff member took our order and never returned. After 15 minutes we had to flag down another server who took the order. When we needed our bill this was also a pain to flag down the server who told us they needed to get the bill person. The bill person seemed confused and had no idea what we ordered so that took longer. Overall, chaotic, disorganized and poor service. Food and coffee was good.

Tl;dr: I highly recommend Boccum. The drinks, food and service were all excellent…read more Palermo's cocktail culture is a work in progress compared to many of the other large cities in Italy, but there are a few small places doing some exceptional drinks in the city and Bocum can count themselves as one of them. Boccum's bar is a single-person operation lead by bartender Sonja who at the time of this review had been working behind the stick there for approximately 3 months. She was happy to chat with us about her experience, give us recommendations and discuss the growing cocktail scene in Palermo. Bocum has a dozen or so unique craft drinks on their menu and a good selection of bottles to prepare high-quality classics. My first cocktail was their Vesper Twist, which was quite a twist, as they have swapped the usual Lillet for a quinquina vermouth and added a hint of scotch for a very dry, slightly smokey version of the drink. My partner got a Geisha sour, a yuzu forward drink with Ki No Bi gin, cherry liqueur, yuzu purée, wasabi, lemon juice and egg white. We were also treated to some unbidden but yummy fried, stuffed squash blossoms during this first round of drinks. By this time Sonja started to realize that we were pretty enthusiastic about cocktails and started bringing out some fun stuff she was experimenting with, including a super creamy clarified milk punch and an absolutely stunning porcini mushroom infused Negroni, which sounds like a gimmick but was legitimately the apex of our drinking experience in Palermo. It was super well balanced and the porcini wasn't overbearing at all. To showcase that porcini taste, we were also provided with some panko fried porcini mushroom tapas which were delicious and light. We went to several other cocktail bars in Palermo with varying degrees of success, but Boccum was the only one we came back to again. The second time was for their dinner service, which is also top-notch from antipasti to dessert. I definitely recommend Bocum if you'd like a break from the typical tourist menus and aperol spritzes of the historic district. The drinks, food and service were all excellent.
