One Eyed Jack

This place is wonderful and you get to interact with all kinds of people. Everybody is friendly and it’s never overcrowded.

This is probably one of my favorite places in Italy! Not only did it dramatically remind me of my hometown (Seattle, WA), the owner is from there! The burgers there was absolutely delicious. And the bartender and owner was so nice and friendly! If you’re from Seattle, being in there will make you feel right at home (good for those who get homesick). I was in Italy for a month and being here made me less homesick for sure. Drinks are also great!

let me start by saying we are bar people, not club people, and this was the perfect place for us. reasonably priced beer and the bartender made us this crazy shot that definitely looks scary but really isn’t so bad. some of our friends were going clubbing the same night and we opted to stay here and had a chill night with some beer and cool people.

Great little bar right on the river. All craft beers on tap. Good cheap food. Now it’s not your typical little italian bar. But if your in the mood for burgers and good beer after backpacking across Europe for months it is a very nice alternative to the Irish bars you’ve probably been frequenting in every city to get that little taste of home. The staff couldn’t be friendlier.

if youre drunk and wandering around florence as i was, make sure to come by here and grad a drink…
definitely a dive bar… actually this place is the most «ghetto» joint i went to in all of italy… the whole crowd hanging around here are all made up of locals… the underbelly of florence… rough neck looking crowd that looked real tough and rugged on the outside.
located directly across from a gelateria (which is great to sober up after btw), this place is full of energy… has cheap drinks… and is super loud on the inside and out…
if you want to «blend in», i suggest you dress in dark clothes… have some visible piercings or tattoos of some sort… or wear some worn doc martins. when in rome? er, florence… lol

I love dive bars. I did not expect to find one this great in Florence, and I haven’t had the chance to experience many different bars yet (at all), but I can wholeheartedly say One Eyed Jack has a special place in my heart and I miss it a lot! If I ever return to Florence, I will run there when I get off the plane.
Anyway, I studied in Florence for 4 months and this was my home-​away-​from-​apartment. It was right around the corner from where we lived. It’s in a cool neighborhood that many tourists fail to explore because it’s on the other side of the river. Prices are good, and if you want to meet locals, this is your place. Rock and roll music plays loud and the crowd is predominantly male, scruffy, and, well, very rock and roll (something that is hard to come by in Florence). This bar has a lot of regulars, which should say something in itself. By the end of my 4 months, we knew all the bartenders and were regulars ourselves.
Be warned, though, this is a real DIVE BAR. The bathroom (s-​when they decide to open the other one) is not clean, nor is the rest of the bar, really. I always had fun here, though. If you like loud rock and sometimes metal — GO TO ONE EYED JACK. The bartenders are also really nice, and speak English.
On the sign it says «beer and food,» but we never saw food there. I think they have aperitivo one night a week. Happy hour is good too.
OH! and best nights are Saturday for sure. Other nights seem to be a little dead. Fridays are good too.
