Diorama

My wife and I were honeymooning in Florence in '22. We sought out this place for the wide selection and reputation. The bar is small but cozy. We opted to sit outside on the small patio. We ordered a couple bottles and drank them slowly while people watching. It was a chill place.

Diorama is a small place tht has just 5 seats at the bar, but isn't every place in Italy small? Most of the drinking goes on outside anyway. Inside there are 2 rectangular tables and 4 square tables, so there is some seating (11 or 12). There are also 2 benches along the walls that seat 4 or 5 each.

It's a nice looking, comfortable place with exposed brick on the right wall, and vertical green stripes on the left wall that match the table tops. The bar itself is a modern wood bar. The stone floor is reddish brick colored, and it has an old wood beam ceiling. There are some antique light fixtures but the ones at the bar itself are very modern. I don't know who designed it but they did a very good job.

It's a snacks cafe (ribolitta €5, cheese platter €6, meat & cheese for €10, - do try the lampredotto sandwich for €6), so really not that much food, but who cares about that because we're here for the beer. There are 6 taps, 1 cask, and 2 coolers packed full with bottles and cans. If you can't find at least 5 beers you want to try there must be something very wrong with you.

Diorama, il Bovaro, the Hidden Pub, and Archea are all within a 10 minute walk of each other and I suggest you try them all, but don't miss out on Diorama.

 

 

 

 

 

This place was a short walk from the city center (15 Min) and had a great selection of Lover Beer Sours and Loons. Beers to drink there and beers to go with no restrictions. They have a Firkin Tap (Beer Engine) and 5 or 6 other taps with a large bottle selection and good food. A+++

A very nice place off the beaten path. I visited twice during my trip to Florence and both times I was the only tourist there. There have a small tap list with only 6 taps. While I was there they offered only one of their own beers, 1 2 3 Stella. Which I would certainly recommend. They do have a very nice bottle list, a nice selection of Belgium (including Cantillon), Italian, and American beers.
The service was really nice with the owner striking my girlfriend and myself up in conversation. The decor is typical for what I saw in Florence, lots of beer posters on the walls. They also have an outside seating area.
The price range was average compared to what I saw in Beer House Club and Archea Brewery.
They offer food but we did not partake in it.
