Mad - Souls & Spirits

15 Best Bars in Florence | Condé Nast Traveler

"A quintessential dive bar, San Frediano's Mad Souls and Spirits puts zero effort into its looks and lighting—but that's good news for the fun and approachable craft cocktails, which are free from pretentious mumbo-jumbo. Menus are themed, and change frequently; a recent Ryanair one, for instance, featured concoctions like Flight Insurance (rum with green tea, cinnamon, and lime) and Hand Luggage (gin with lemon and maraschino). It's all in good faith: the head bartenders here hope to encourage young Florentines to swap watered-down spritzes and poorly mixed Negronis for creative, reasonably priced drinks." - Coral Sisk
