Da quando ha aperto al posto di un negozio di vestiti non sono mai riuscito a entrarci. Ieri è stata la volta buona e credo di essere stato super fortunato. Suonavano gli "Strangefaces", una cover band della madonna con gli ACDC loro punto di forza. La gran musica pompata a dovere ha sicuramente contribuito al mio voto comunque positivo. Bell'arredamento "legnoso" e minimal q.b., barman (barwoman?) brava e veloce, disposizione dello spazio intelligente con un'area lontano sufficientemente dalla musica per chi vuole anche parlare senza sgolarsi. Il palco in vetrina poi credo sia la vera chicca. Della serie "volete sapere come suonano e cosa suonano? ENTRATE!"

A box office is right outside the venue and distributes tickets for the upcoming events, whose prices depend on the shows, but usually 5 to 10 €. The place gives room to local bands as well as international ones, djs and students parties. It can also be rented. Overall it's a pretty popular venue for Florentines, very casual, there's a coat room (av. 2 € per piece), a cocktail bar offering regular beers and a few different cocktails (nothing too fancy) and a few sandwiches for late night cravings. Acoustic has always been a red mark and it has not improved in time, but concerts are still fun and not a bit pretentious. Be aware that parking around this area is almost forbidden unless you come early and lines for tickets are up to 45 min. outside (cold or hot weather doesn't matter).

The convent turned prison turned affordable housing, cafe, event space, and collaborative work space is truly a modern take on restoration and a great place to pass time, especially on a beautiful day. Whether you need a place to grab coffee with friends or crank out some work on your laptop, Le Murate will fit the bill. Check out their website for a list of events to enjoy if you really want to round out your experience.

The first time I popped by, I knew this would be "her" place. With both cozy indoor seating and a welcoming outdoor courtyard, there are plenty of tables for all. The cappuccini are delicious and affordable so there are many students here. We love the staff, too, who are patient while we try to get better at speaking in Italian. There is a stage for evening music events and there is also a food/alcohol menu. We hope to take advantage of both soon!

Was invited to a private event at this venue for an opera showcase…read more Located on the outskirts of Florence, this contemporary opera house stands out with its geometric building style. The place had tight security and smelled of new construction, but I was told all of that was for the private event. But its still under construction, because the original vision was to make it an arts complex with 3 stages. I was seated in the main opera house which seats 1800. The sound was excellent inside the venue. I could see this place becoming 5 stars, once the complex is finished being built.

I've been going to this opera house for years now and have enjoyed each visit. The entrance is very…read morenice walking into the opera. The building is still new and has a very nice walkway up to the entrance. Tr main auditorium is very large and can accompany a large audience. The sounds and lighting is very good for a performance or a speaker. I've seen both and thought I could hear and see even sitting from the back. The seats, which I think is important, are very comfortable :) once outside of the auditorium there are nice areas to walk through with nice pictures of fashionable and modern art. Bottom line...great place to watch a performance or hear a speaker. This opera is new just about 4 years old so expect a modern and comfortable experience with great seating, good lighting and great speakers so you can get a good show from any seat! Pros Modern and new auditorium with a grand entrance Very close to the city center and cascine Park Nice walkways full of modern and fashionable art Cons No major cons here but I would say there are other opera houses that have a nicer ambience

As someone who's studying mixology on a more frequent basis, I had a great amount of respect for the bar program at Rex. Take a peek at the glorious bar stocked with spirits old and new. My first drink was the Old Pal, think a Manhattan sub dry vermouth for sweet vermouth. This innovative twist on the classic cocktail was delicious. Served straight up, I absolutely loved the flavor profiles and appreciated the balanced proportions. After that, I stuck with Ron Swanson's personal preference, Lagavulin neat. Hell, I was on vacation and wanted some single malt Scotch! Bartenders were equipped and professional, although not ones to invade our space. We chatted for hours with a friend we made during our dinner at Pizza Man. The cool thing about Rex is that there are so many different options of night you can have. Going hard? Stand near the DJ and take shots of Fernet. Staying low key? Sip a cocktail while sitting in an intimate booth. Here the night is what you make it. A memorable night indeed at Rex, I hope to visit again in the future!

The people helping were nice but incredibly slow moving. I also was kept from her, they hid her in a coat closet, so had to argue my way back there. It's not safe here. We ended up in the ambulance and hospital for the night. Even the hospital said to file something against space bar, but she didn't want to. Something needing fixed by Space Bar is to get rid of those hard, thick plastic cups ... thin plastic is used for a reason. She said it felt like glass. We never could find the blunt object because of how crowded and dark it is. Thick plastic had the same effect that glass would've. If you had thin plastic instead, this would not have happened. If I were hit, I would've gone right to the police so maybe you should change this issue before someone else files.
