Basoli In Palermo

Four of us found ourselves at this pub in Palermo by chance, looking for a place to have a drink. The waiter kindly directed us to sit down at first, and while we were ordering, another guy and I ordered drinks, while our two girlfriends chose not to order anything. After we ordered, the waiter came back and told us that since we had a reservation at the table for four where he'd seated us without any problems, we'd have to move to a higher table with stools if the girls hadn't ordered anything. We decided to accept and moved to the higher table. Once there, we waited for the arrival of two more missing stools. The waiter came back and informed us that we couldn't sit there because they had no more stools, so to get a drink, we either had to get takeout or the girls had to order. We then decided to order two takeaway cocktails. Once we'd gotten them, we turned around and saw three young men sitting at a high table, and the waiter calmly brought them another stool for the third person. To apologize for the inconvenience, they seated us at another business they own on the next street. What was missing was transparency from the start, making us take unnecessary detours. It was truly ridiculous and in terrible taste.

Popped by for a drink before dinner and was welcomed warmly. Recommend passing by while you’re in Palermo.

Very nice place in a cosy quarter with great staff, highly recommended

One of the most beautiful cocktail bars in Palermo!

We were warmly welcomed by the staf who said the table we choose was reserved for us. (we didn't reserve a table in advance) We ordered a cocktail and those were very very good. Molto bene!

The atmosphere is great, the service is wonderful. Good food and a decent price. Very well located.

Very nice bar in a small square, lovely waiter

Great location in the heart of town, super friendly server, very attentive, always attentive. Very good sharing platter. Non-alcoholic cocktails too. Very nice place, I recommend it. Thanks again to the very professional server.

A hearty and varied appetizer for two, including two drinks for 25 euros. The service was quite good. Highly recommended.

Nice place for a spritz. The olives were way too salty for our taste.
