Kikuya Pub

Santa Croce, Florence –

Located right in the heart of the Santa Croce neighborhood, Kikuya is the oldest English pub in Florence and, despite the typically Italian terracotta floors and stone ceiling, sports a decidedly English feel.

Clean and simple, the bar features English football banners on the walls, small wood tables and stools, and a selection of first-rate beers. A large bar dominates the front room, while a dimly-lit back room is home to small tables and benches with red velvet cushions that create a cozy, living-room atmosphere.

Popular with a welcoming and sociable crowd of young professionals and local students, Kikuya provides a homey environment perfect for a mellow night of conversation or – when there’s a good English football match to be had – a rousing night among the passionate fans.

And what’s more, Happy Hour doesn’t end until 10pm, which makes Kikuya a great place to enjoy an affordable night out or a few pints before heading to one of the nearby discos.
