Posta Vecchia under its frescoed vaults, with blue lamps over the bar

Posta Vecchia Cocktail BarTequileria · Genoa old town

In the heart of Genoa's alleys, where tradition meets creativity: signature cocktails, over forty tequilas and mezcals, Mexican food and nights that don't end early.

Genoa old town

The heart of mixology in the alleys

Among alleys steeped in history, under a frescoed vault, there's a place where Mexican sugar skulls sit next to the gin bottles and basil ends up in the cocktails. Posta Vecchia is more than a cocktail bar: it's a landmark for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

Spirit (with or without alcohol), a laid-back atmosphere and memorable drinks: from Specials served in skull glasses to Margaritas in twelve flavours and alcohol-free mocktails. Inside it's cosy, outside there are tables on the square: booking is a good idea.

«È un luogo dove bere un colpo con gli amici in piedi o seduti, respirando il vero clima del carruggio genovese. Qui non trovi niente di finto o di costruito: solo la cronaca e la storia di un bar popolare dove l'opera d'arte è costituita dal luogo e dai suoi avventori.»A place to have a drink with friends, standing or seated, breathing the true atmosphere of a Genoese carruggio. Nothing fake or staged here: just the life and history of a people's bar where the work of art is the place itself and its regulars.
