La Drogheria

La Drogheria is a cocktail bar and restaurant at Piazza Vittorio Veneto 18/D in Turin, Piedmont, Italy. The square is the largest in the city centre and slopes toward the Po river and the Gran Madre church, and its arcades hold many of Turin's best-known evening spots. The bar is known for house-made signature cocktails, and it serves food as well as drinks, so visitors can combine an aperitivo, dinner or late drinks in one place. The crowd is varied: students from the nearby university quarter, local professionals, groups of friends and visitors staying near the river. Dress is casual to smart-casual, and no dress code is reported. The atmosphere is lively but not club-like. Piazza Vittorio Veneto is a social hub, and the bar benefits from the foot traffic and the open-air feel of the square on warm evenings. Music is incidental, set at a level that allows conversation. The drinks programme leans on signature cocktails made with house-prepared ingredients alongside Italian classics such as the Negroni and spritz, with wine and beer also available. Prices are in the mid-range for Turin and no cover charge is reported. Opening hours have not been verified; the bar is reported to operate in the evenings daily, and visitors should check before going, especially on Mondays and during holidays. Friday and Saturday nights draw the biggest crowds around the square, and the area stays busy well past midnight in good weather. Reservations are advisable for dinner or for groups, particularly on weekends, while drinks-only visits are generally walk-in. Bottle service is not a feature of the venue. The riverside location also makes the bar a convenient stop after an evening walk along the Po embankments or before heading to San Salvario for later venues.
