I've been there, and everything—the location, the service, the food, and the drinks—was truly excellent. Located in the heart of Bisceglie's historic center, it has a welcoming yet lively atmosphere, perfect for both an afternoon aperitivo and an evening with friends. Its strong point is undoubtedly the high-quality mixology: the cocktails are creative, well-balanced, and expertly crafted, the result of research and a passion for local ingredients and carefully crafted flavors. The selection of wines, spirits, and liqueurs is also extensive and carefully curated, with sought-after labels and original offerings. There's also a delicious food selection: the aperitifs and appetizers are well-crafted, perfect to accompany drinks, and offer a tasteful twist on traditional Apulian cuisine. Light dishes and appetizers made with local ingredients are served with attention to detail and quality. The atmosphere is meticulously crafted, with vintage-inspired furnishings and a pleasant outdoor space, even on warmer evenings. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about offering advice. In short, Contrabar is a must-visit in Bisceglie if you love truly well-crafted cocktails, a lively atmosphere, and a place where quality and hospitality blend seamlessly. Highly recommended for aperitifs and special evenings.

CONTRABAR in Bisceglie is a place you must try. In the heart of the old town, amidst historic walls and modern vibes, we're in an unconventional spot that transports you to the coolest and most refined side of Puglia. The mood is a perfect blend of refined old and seductive contemporary: warm lighting and retro-inspired furnishings. Here I met Gianni Dell'Olio and Francesco Di Gioia, two bartenders with an incredible background in mixology and drink engineering; they tell you every cocktail like a story, classics, twists, homemade. Just think, in 2017, these two guys first dreamed up an appetizer drink by creating Bitter Violento, and then went on to create BASTALDO, an authentically Apulian artisanal amaro made from blood orange peel and vanilla, spices, and Moscato di Trani, all perfectly blended. I even discovered that Contrabar is among the best rum bars in Italy, branded Isla de Rum, and is considered one of the top 12 national cocktail bars by Gambero Rosso. In short, it's not just any place; here we are at the apotheosis and everything else is boring.
