Rasputin was an incredible find in Florence. First, finding the door from the street is a little tricky and what makes it so mysterious. Once inside, you head to a basement area that makes you feel like you are in a true speakeasy from another era in time. This secret cocktail bar has comfy seating, candles burning on every table, great music playing, and a drink menu that is creative and delicious. The perfect place for a drink before you head out to dinner or a perfect night cap. You don't want to miss this experience.
Rasputin Speakeasy feels less like a cocktail bar and more like a forgotten chapter of Florence that somehow survived the centuries. Hidden beneath the city in a 14th-century cellar—once buried, later unearthed, and pressed into service as a bomb shelter during the Second World War—it possesses the sort of quiet dignity that only places touched by history can acquire. One is reminded of the England C.S. Lewis knew during the Blitz, where ancient stone vaults and church crypts became sanctuaries against the madness above. Here too, the old walls seem to whisper that civilizations endure not because they escape darkness, but because they outlast it. The staff were warm, gracious, and genuinely welcoming, making the experience feel intimate rather than theatrical. A practical note for visitors: cocktails are approximately €25 each, and the house signature drinks lean heavily toward Scotch, so those seeking lighter or sweeter spirits may wish to explore the broader menu. Rasputin is not inexpensive, nor is it meant to be. It is a place where history, craftsmanship, and atmosphere are poured into the glass alongside the spirits. If you appreciate hidden places that carry the weight of centuries with quiet confidence, it is an evening in Florence well spent.
This is an incredible experience! The atmosphere, the service, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. An aesthetic delight! This is a must visit for anyone in Florence for the first time
This is one of those "secret" bars in Florence, where you have to ring the bell to get in. When one gets to the door, the bell is on the right. The doorman is very mysterious and totally into his character (which is a good thing, is kind of amusing). The bar is rather small and has a very interesting set up with some art in the walls and the menu is not too big but quite well made. It’s named on various artists. The ambiente of the place is ideal for a drink and a good chat but it must be mentioned that the looks come at cost of ones comfort. The cocktails were good, though I wasn't yet blowed away, therefore 4 stars so far.
