    Le Stanze

    Each of the four interior rooms at this hip corner bar has its own design concept; depending on your mood, you can hide away on velvet backroom couches, people-watch alfresco at the sidewalk tables, or embrace the expansive chapel-chic vibe in the main bar area, where 17th-century frescoes hint at its earlier use as the Bentivoglio family’s private chapel.

    Osteria del Sole

    Oozing the sort of character that modern rivals strive for, this historic osteria (wine bar) has been serving booze, and only booze, since the 15th century. If you want to eat, bring a takeaway; if you want water, bring your own.

    Osteria L’Infedele

    A very agreeable spot to while away the hours with a glass of wine. Vintage adverts line the walls and the cool, eclectic soundtrack ranges from jazz to blues, interrupted only by football broadcasts on game nights.

    La Scuderia

    On Piazza Verdi, this happening bar-cafe occupies the Bentivoglio family’s former stables. All the rage with image-conscious students, it features towering columns, vaulted ceilings, arty photos and free wi-fi.

    Marsalino

    Tiny, arty and chameleonlike, Marsalino is a laid-back watering hole that opens as a tearoom at 4pm, morphs into a wine bar at 6pm, and becomes a modest restaurant at 8pm.

    Gotha

    An intimate lounge bar for 1000, on the waterfront halfway between Rimini and Riccione, Gotha swings to a Latin beat in winter and a commercial soundtrack in summer.

    Caffè Turismo

    Not the tourist trap its name might imply but a cool bar with video projections on the mellow green walls and a young, good-looking staff.
