The sea breeze, a sunset by the sea and high-level mixology meet in 5 dream places that the MT Magazine editorial team has carefully selected, visited and appreciated in all its forms.
The editorial staff of MT Magazine went to Puglia, there were many places to visit, so we decided to select some for the summer and to help you find your way better we will point out below some of the locations designed for your holidays: come on cocktail bars overlooking the Adriatic coast, between Giovinazzo and Bari, up to the beauty of the baroque architecture that frames the city of Lecce.
Katiuscia Cocktail & other remedies
The Katiuscia Cocktail & other remedies is located in the heart of the town of Giovinazzo, in the province of Bari. It is a cocktail bar with kitchen, where it is possible to taste a wide variety of tapas and burgers with a selection of meats and cured meats. The real magic, however, is represented by the bar counter, where you will find the Bar Manager and owner Nicola Ruggeri accompanied by his right arm Davide Pertino. The mixing proposal ranges from the great classics to signature cocktails, with attention to detail and the painstaking precision of our bartender. This summer, for the most sultry evenings, Katiuscia has thought of a new solution to refresh tourists and passers-by who cross the seafront: the small kiosk Captain Gin, sunsets, tonics and friselle; where the bartenders dressed in sailor suits will be ready to regenerate you with Gin and tonic and crunchy friselle.
Address: Lungomare Marina Italiana 31, Giovinazzo (Ba)
Speakeasy Bari
In the nerve center of the splendid Apulian capital, in the small square overlooking the sea you will find the Speakeasy Bari. It is an atypical place, small and lit by soft lights hidden in top hats that float cheerfully above the counter. At the entrance you will be able to glimpse a large wardrobe on the left which is generally ajar in summer, but which leads to the hidden room in full prohibitionist style. The cocktail proposal varies from classics to signatures, from the most current themes very well updated from season to season. The owners will welcome you Vincenzo Mazzilli And Nicola Milella, and at the counter the smile and professionalism of the bartender Massimiliano Barbetta with the rest of the staff. The jewel in the crown is the welcome glass of water, which prepares you for the idyllic experience in the temple dedicated to the history of prohibition.
Address: Largo Giordano Bruno 32/34, Bari
Hagakure Fusion Sushi and Mixology Bar
The former's bar Hagakure Fusion Sushi opened in the Bari hinterland, it is located in the small covered terrace right in front of the entrance to the restaurant. Inside, behind the bar counter, where the glass bottle holder reflects the light of the last rays of the setting sun, we find the wonderful Bar Manager Hanuel Lee, renamed by the people of Bari and now known to all as Hannette. In this last year, thanks to the numerous awards received at an international level, it has brought added value to Hagakure's already renowned Nikkei cuisine, thanks to its high-level liquid proposals. Its signature cocktail is absolutely worth tasting Cooked pear.
Address: Via Giovanni Amendola 203/205, Bari
Laurus Cocktail Experience
Descending into the heart of Salento we encounter the Laurus Cocktail Experience, in the center of the city of Lecce, in one of the most characteristic streets of the city in baroque style. The restaurant is immersed in a classic atmosphere which in the summer period expands into the small external dehors pigeonholed like a work of art among the rustic chianches of the street. At the bar counter the Bar Manager And Holder Marco Fabbiano will surprise you and advise you from classic cocktails to his most particular signature creations. Password: hospitality, revisited in all its possible forms, from the refinement of the design inside the restaurant, to the impeccable and elegant service with an eye on the products of the Salento area.

Always in the city of Lecce, among the alleys of the historic center, it is possible to cross paths on your way Enough, a cocktail bar considered one of the greatest expressions of street bar Italian owned by Diego Melorio And Andrea Carlucci. A very small place focused on high quality mixology, speed of service and precision. Behind the counter, the incredible creativity of Bar Manager And Holder Diego Melorio will welcome you for a 360˚ beverage experience. The drink list ranges from classics to signature proposals that change based on the relevant season. The name of the place completely sums up the experience that you will be able to savor: a quality mix without too many flourishes, exactly just enough in a glass to be happy.
