DONKEY: 


A NEW

SPEAKEASY


IDEA

AN ORIGINAL PLACE, A SPEAKEASY BAR, IN THE HEART OF BOLOGNA,

WHERE YOU CAN BE WON OVER BY OUR SIGNATURE DRINKS AND REDISCOVER THE GREAT CLASSICS OF good DRINKING

A speakeasy cocktail bar, in the heart of Bologna, in which to rediscover the great classics of good drinking

Donkey opens its doors only to those who appreciate the art of good drinking.

A secret bar that bans oversized drinks and espouses the philosophy of essentiality, because there is nothing better than a clean, minimal, no-frills drink where high quality spirits and processed raw materials can find instant prominence.

Relaxed drinking, where you can talk calmly and get recommendations for high quality whiskeys, scotches, rums and bourbons accompanied by cigars of the highest quality.

Let us take you on a journey of discovery of taste and pleasure.


An international

salon, artistic and cultural

Outside the venue, a huge medieval gate protects the interior from the prying eyes of passersby, reinforcing the "speakeasy" concept.

Entering inside ... nothing is left to chance, it feels like being in a living room, a reserved, intimate environment, where it is impossible not to detach oneself from what is the everyday life and the city environment in which it is located, in the heart of the city of Bologna. Every day art meets culture, within an exclusive and evocative space.

The invitation is to experiment with new combinations and discover exciting pairings.

A massive dark doorway hides a whole world  inside

From furniture to lighting to colors...nothing is left to chance.

The furnishings reflect the ideal of speakeasy 2.0, which breaks away from the classic imagery of the 1920s prohibitionist nightclub but, while maintaining its principles of privacy, translates over time. 

Prints on the walls, ceiling colors, but also chandeliers and seating are a mix of Art Nouveau colonialism - images of exotic animals, chandeliers made from Balinese fishing baskets, silhouettes of African matrons - and 1950s minimalist modernism.
