Bar Volare
Bologna, Italy
From the retro wood panelling lining the walls to the vintage-style signage – pinned atop atmospherically peeling wallpaper – this time-warp bar in Bologna’s historic core feels like the kind of place your cool Italian grandad (if you had one) may have gone to drink. A succinct edit of classic cocktails, from the Tom Collins to the sazerac and boulevardier, is accompanied by an aperitivo selection and niche booze fashionable in the 1960s. For example, the rose and vanilla rosolio liqueur, crafted into a sour, is a great mainstay for nursing as you soak up the detailed interiors, ranging from the vintage spin-dial telephone on the wall to the retro peg boards. Do indulge in snacks such as olives, mortadella and peanuts, though don’t try to order a spritz, as you’ll be disappointed: they don’t serve them.
