26/07/2025: It's not often you walk into a bar and immediately feel at home, pampered, listened to, and welcomed with that rare blend of professionalism and warmth. Yet at Lebowski, this happens every single time. And much of the credit goes to him: Alessandro, the bartender who turns every order into a little show.
Alessandro isn't just good: he's a true artist behind the bar. He knows how to mix flavors with the same mastery he has of reading people. He looks at you for a second and already knows what kind of drink is right for you, whether you need an energy boost, a moment of relaxation, or a liquid embrace that lifts you up. His manner is polite, never intrusive but always present, with that sincere smile that makes you forget bad days. He has the rare talent of making every customer feel special, as if you were a regular, even if it's your first time.
The bar is meticulously crafted: a warm and relaxing atmosphere, soft lighting, and refined yet never snobbish decor. The music is always perfectly calibrated and accompanies you without disturbing you. You can tell that every choice here is made with love, passion, and incredible customer care.
The cocktail menu is extensive and creative, but it's by relying on Alessandro that you really take it to the next level: he knows how to surprise, recommend, and invent. Every drink is an experience, served with style, precision, and a personal touch you won't find anywhere else. Even a simple gin and tonic in his hands becomes a moment to remember.
And then there's that intangible something that can't be explained without experiencing it: the good energy you breathe, the feeling of being in the right place at the right time. The Lebowski is more than a bar. It's a haven of emotion, a place to let go, laugh, confide, or simply enjoy the moment.
In short: 5 stars aren't enough to describe what this place and Alessandro offer. It's become my favorite place in Lucca, and every time I return, I leave a little happier.
Congratulations to all the staff and a huge THANK YOU to Alessandro: for me, you're the soul of this place ❤️🍸
20/07/2025: A true hidden gem with an outstanding beer selection — easily the best we came across during our entire month in Italy. They feature a thoughtful lineup of local craft beers, several of which were absolute standouts and unlike anything we’d tasted elsewhere on our travels. Whether you’re a seasoned beer enthusiast or just curious to try something local, this place won’t disappoint.
The owner was equally impressive — friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. He has a genuine talent for mixing up personalized cocktails on the spot, simply based on your preferences. Just mention what flavours or spirits you like and watch him work his magic. It made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and elevated.
Between the exceptional drinks, the laid-back atmosphere, and the warm hospitality, this spot became one of our favorite watering holes of the trip. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys great drinks served with heart and style.
