Gametime: Florence

Red Garter

 

Red Garter is a fan favorite among students in Florence. Known for its entertaining karaoke, Red Garter is a fun place to spend the majority of your night singing and dancing. On top of that, the bar offers a healthy mix of American and Italian people. And when you’re leaving Red Garter hangry at 3am, El Chico is your burrito plug right next door. http://redgarteritaly.com/

 

Space

 

Space is the preferred club of many students studying in Florence. The place is massive, with two stories and great music. Space is the perfect spot for anyone looking to hit the dance floor (theirs is huge). Because it isn’t centrally located, consider pregaming Space at Uncle Jimmy’s or Shot Cafe.  Be warned, there might be a cover charge of $10 depending on what time you get there and day of the week. However, that cover does include a drink! CAUTION: they give you a drink card when you walk in. DO NOT lose this card. You will have to pay cover plus extra drinks at the end, and if you lose the card you will have to pay $50 to leave!

 

YAB!

 

Yab is a great alternative to Space if you’re looking for something more centrally located. Yab is just as popular, and offers a similar atmosphere to Space. Yab is a little bit closer to Florence’s other bars and clubs, so if you’re looking to hop around, it is a great choice. https://www.yab.it/en/

 

Bamboo

 

If you’re looking for something a little more boujee, treat yo self to Bamboo. It’s a bit more upscale, but still a lot of fun! Plus, its located right near Kikuya and Red Garter if you’re looking to keep that step count down. A great place to check out on Tuesdays. http://www.bambooloungeclub.com/home.asp
