Turin Bar Guide
30+ bars across Turin's drinking neighbourhoods, curated by editors who know the city.
Turin invented vermouth. Antonio Benedetto Carpano created the modern aromatised wine here in 1786. Two and a half centuries later, the Vermouth di Torino lives on every Italian aperitivo menu in the world. The Turinese take it more seriously than anyone — the bars in the Quadrilatero Romano pour fifty vermouths each. The aperitivo culture is the local religion.
Five neighbourhoods cluster the action. The Quadrilatero Romano is the vermouth-bar spine. San Salvario runs the late-night cocktail strip. The Crocetta covers the polished residential bars. Vanchiglia is the indie creative quarter. Piazza Vittorio holds the historic aperitivo cafés.
Vermouth flights run €8 to €15. Cocktails €8 to €12. Aperitivo runs 6pm to 9pm with cicchetti included. Tipping is not expected. Most bars run to 1am.
