Winter Garden Bar

Winter Garden Bar

Nestled below regal arches and the iconic fresco, the Winter Garden Bar invites guests to enjoy one of the most glamorous experiences among restaurants in Florence. The perfect setting to indulge in an Italian aperitivo and well-crafted mixology, while the transition from day to evening is celebrated with the St. Regis Evening Ritual.

The Art of Sabrage

At The St. Regis, the transition from day to evening is an unforgettable experience. The lights are dimmed, the music changes, and candles are set out, creating an atmosphere rooted in tradition and elegance reminiscent of traditional Tuscan cuisine in Florence. The ceremony of sabrage, where a bottle of sparkling wine is opened with an elegant saber—a ritual dating back to the 19th century—takes center stage. Sabering Ritual at our Winter Garden Bar, every day from 6 pm to 7 pm.

Signature Cocktails

The Signature list, created by our Bar Manager, Lorenzo Bellieri, and his team, is inspired by the meeting of music—the soul of the Winter Garden, with its iconic grand piano—and the theatricality of a venue where every gesture becomes part of the performance. The bar is transformed into a stage of lights, colours, and unforgettable experiences. Our guests are the orchestra, while each cocktail becomes a note that brings every evening to life.
