We came every night during our four night stay, and it was always a great atmosphere inside and out. The downstairs bar has a great beer selection. If you look behind the bar, they have shelves with all the bottles, labeled by style. We tried a few new barrel aged stouts we had never come across, some of which were solid 10/10 beers. The food puts them over the top. The cheddar burger is a tasty burger, but the fries. Oh these fries. They are so crispy, so salty, and almost pinched in the middle so they have a little curl. They are so delicious, a real treat to end a long day's wanderin'. Bonus points because all the staff we interacted with was lovely every time we visited.

It's a little out of the city center, so the parking's a bit better, but only a bit. We both ordered the BrewDog Punk IPA, a standard West Coast IPA, which was decent. I even ordered another. I got the Salmon LT sandwich, a club with salmon as opposed to bacon. Toasted, which is common in this region of Italy. Tasty, although I might have enjoyed it with a little less cream cheese. My buddy ordered the hamburger with guacamole. The burger bordered on raw, but je enjoyed it. Staff was friendly and helpful, letting us sample some of the beers before we ordered. It's a good-sized place with tons of tables, inside and out. We arrived about 6:30, and the place was mostly empty. But it filled quickly after 7 with many folks stopping for a beer and snack after work.

While wondering the streets of Bologna (read: completely lost and making the most of it), my…read morehusband and I stumbled upon this unassuming wine and beer bar. We had been looking for a bottle shop, but alas, all of them are closed on Sundays. We really wanted to get some rare Belgian beers, and out of nowhere, appeared Punto. Their bottle list read like a beer lover's fantasy novel: Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, Westvleteren. The best part, the prices! We got a demi-bottle of Cantillon beer for 13 euros. I realize this is normal for Europe, but in the States this would cost at least 50% more - if you could find it. There is a large patio out front (for the smokers), and plenty of seating indoors as well. The inside is kind of Euro-hipster, with a variety of interesting beer posters on the walls. Punto feels like a locals-only neighborhood bar, but I did run into another couple from California while waiting in line for the restroom (typical Americans). If you are looking to get away from the tourists in the Piazza Maggiore, I recommend having a drink at Punto. It is a delightful bar, located in a very "interesting" side of town.

Cool vibe, horrible staff…read more Waited for a drink for 40 mins. After the staff was asked twice they both scoffed at my coworkers. Asked us to wait because they're busy but never came back. I felt bad because they chose this location based on my taste. Sigh. There was a table of 10 and noone ever came around to provide svc. What a waste of space. In about 2 hours we were only able to order two rounds of drinks. Jokesters. No tip.
