Most first-time visitors to Capri wander the island looking for sleek-minimalist nightclubs and ultra-exclusive bars. But the true hotspots of the island are easily overlooked with humble entrances offering little signage and no security. Located in the heart of the main village is an otherwise ordinary Italian tavern with wood-beam ceiling and sticky bistro seating one would normally want to avoid. Although there is food, most visitors come in search of the infamous stage show. It's the main attraction of Capri nightlife, this summertime cabaret and live music performance by the legendary Guido, who goes by only one name much like Naomi, Jay-Z and Beyonce who have all paid his stage a few visits while in Capri. Assisted by a live band, the music ranges from modern day pop anthems to traditional Latin and Italian music that's often improvised and improperly sung. But like a true superstar, Guido masters his stage by pulling politicians, supermodels and actress away from their images and onto the tabletops for endless summer fun.
Tips
The bar doesn’t get started before midnight, so plan dinner and disco naps accordingly.
Last Word
Without a guest list or towering doorman, this casual cult bar lures celerbities and dignataries to lose their inhabitation for a little night music.
