Behind a heavy medieval doorway in Bologna's historic centre, Donkey opens into an intimate world of softly lit rooms, carefully chosen spirits and quietly confident cocktails. The bar draws on the secrecy of Prohibition-era drinking without relying on nostalgia: contemporary signatures sit alongside precisely made classics, and the 2026 Moonshine menu takes its cues from the characters of the 1920s. The cigar room and late-night atmosphere add to its sense of escape, but it is the attention to the drink that makes Donkey worth seeking out.
