Centrally located and easily accessible from most of the tourist attractions, Scholars Lounge is a great place to unwind, for drinks, food and watching your favorite matches. This Irish pub and sports bar with its woody decor will remind you of a chapel due its layout. Engravings of famous Irish literati and poets adorn the walls with dangling Irish flags above them. Though the days are quiet, the nights are a different thing altogether. Bustling with a mixture of expats, students, travelers and more, the lounge takes on a more lively and festive environment. The sports bar features right wide TVs so that sports fans can enjoy their matches along with some amazing Guinness or other drinks. The pub offers a wide range of beers, pub food which also features Italian bruschetta, chicken curry and a range of other favorites. Live music - rock, pop or funk, karaoke nights and weekly quiz nights make it even more entertaining. The staff is English speaking and is one of the friendliest in the city.

While most famous joints in the city are riddled with foreign tourists, the Bar San Calisto has not spruced up its interiors and has retained its old-school dive bar ambiance. That is because the food and drinks are both delicious and pocket-friendly, making this one of the favorite haunts for the local crowd. You will find mostly local and artsy crowd in here with a few intellects and with the choices of beer that they have, you will not want to go anywhere else.
