Tonight we went to Mak Mixology with my aunt. We had an amazing time. The service was fantastic. We…read morehad a great server Anahi who was spectacular. She made sure we had everything we needed and provided better service than any place I have been to in the US. It was a great time talking and listening to live music from the band "il mucciante". Leonardo played the guitar and Raphael the accedian. The place is dimly lit with a feel of the golden age and has that nice lounge feel. The decore consists of items from the 1930s to 1940s and the building is spectacular. It has large doors and extremely high ceiling with a mesh-like roof giving you an outdoor feel. The staff was all great but our server Anahi made our night. The room has some sort of birdcage with seats and I'm not sure what it is and think it's a VIP area but If you know please post. There is a cool lite up mak sign with Kiss me on it and in the bar room you can watch the bartenders work their craft. The drink menu is in a book and they have lots of amazing house drinks as well as anything else you may want. They have a limited beer menu and an appetizer menu with a few amazing items. The spot is great for a date or anniversary if you want to hear live music and sip on drinks. #ilmucciante #makmixology #makmixologypalermo #palmero #italy #italytravel #scisily #vacation #mixology

Met by staff at the entry to seat us, we were seated in an atrium area (previously glass enclosed but now open air courtyard area) to hear a live-band play tunes from early and mid 20th century jazz bands. We enjoyed the experience, with the jazz and drinks. Didn't expect this as part of our journey across Sicily, but a pleasant surprise.

Nice little pub. Slightly off the beaten path ("gringo trail") and not touristy. Menu is all in…read moreItalian and employees didn't speak English - which is just what we were looking for . Came in the early afternoon before common lunch time (which in Italy usually starts around 1:30 or 2:00pm) so was pretty empty but seemed like a cool place. Nice pub with lots of drink and wine selection plus a selection of food. I had the grilled calamari with a simple salad. It was fresh and nicely prepared. Free wi-fi. Google Translate recommended here if you need to ask any questions. Food came pretty quickly. Service was good.

Great location, fantastic choice of beer, wine and bubbly prosecco or spumante !…read moreI was told that they are the original champagneria that sparked the creation of all the others in that street. They source local sparkling wine of which we tried two. They offer cold cuts snd cheese platters also sourced from Sicily. The took the small platter. Great ! That night they had set up a tent outside with music and heaters. Lively atmosphere ! We had a good time.

A fantastic find on the first evening in Palermo. A warm and inviting decor with excellent…read morecocktails and small plates. Bartender Fabrizio made some excellent variations on traditionals including his own takes on the Negroni, Hanky Panky, and Old Fashioned (with Grappa). He is well trained and creative with great presentation skills. The owner was on site and careful of every detail. This place is worth going out of your way for but better yet, if you are in Palermo, do pay a visit.

Music venue with actual, real-life rock music.. In Sicily!! Not like, "This dude has a guitar and…read morethis dude has a cello... so listen to their folk-ish music and this terrible cover tune." On an island completely void of live music and entertainment, this place was pretty cool. Drinks were cheap enough, vinyl records are for sale, and if you're lucky enough for the one holiday when they have live music, you're in luck. Because it's good. Honestly, it might only be Fridays, I don't know. I think Sicily refuses to acknowledge any other days as days to have fun except for Friday after 10pm. Even then it's a stretch. No kidding. But the vibe is cool, it's a good size, and it gets packed... because I'm guessing everyone is just waiting like a pack of rabid dogs during the week for Friday to come where you can see rock music, drink a little booze and stay out past 9pm. Oh, if you're lucky, by the time you're reading this, hopefully it won't be closed already. That seems to me the norm around these parts. By the time word spreads of a good place, it's long gone. Or at some other address you can't find because it's hidden like some goddamn Smurf Village.

I immediately appreciated all the art and tasty cultural representation that was in the cafe. The menu was in Italian and our waiter's English was limited so it was a bit of a struggle. I got the salmon, a glass of moscato and for dessert, I got a banana crepe with Nutella. I enjoyed every bit of this meal. If I am ever in Palermo again, I will be back!!

The inner walls are covered with photos of famous people and of simple customers as well. The food is really homemade and always served with a smile. There's a yard in front of the pub (on the street side) and on the backside. The waiters are professional and friendly. Attended most of the times by the real people from Palermo: just go for dinner or lunch or just for a beer, you'll be amazed and you'll be back - for sure.
