Il Punto

A great place for a bite to eat or chat over drinks. Their selection of beers is quite impressive. They don't have that many on tap, but they do have quite a selection of bottled beer. They also have a few ciders. The food is quite good. They have some vegetarian options, but if you eat meat and are looking for something local, try their ragu sandwiches. They're really good.

Visited on a Tuesday night right after opening. The beers we tried were all excellent and well poured. The staff was super knowledgeable and very friendly! We wish we had discovered this place before our last night in Bologna!

Big place hidden away down a residential street which has a big range of beers on tap and a supporting range in cans / bottle including a huge array of Lambics and other sours, leaning towards the traditional type rather than modern quick styles. Staff were good, knew their stuff and apologised profusely when one of the beers we wanted was out of stock, and suggested some good replacements. One of the best beer ranges in town, possibly the best, and an essential beer stop if that's what you're after.

This is a wonderful place with very tasty beer and super polite staff. I highly recommend it as a beer culture lover. I live in the Czech Republic and I know what I’m talking about, sorry 😂😀 I definitely recommend coming here and spending some time.

Great little craft beer pub! It even has one cask real ale on tap. Jacopo, the bartender is great and helped me curate a pub crawl around Bolognia's best craft beer pubs!

Nice selection of beers, tasty hamburger (although the bun was a bit hard/dry) and very friendly staff. Lots of tables available, both inside and outside. Recommends a visit 👍

Awesome craft beer bar - the IPA was very reasonable for a pint. The guy behind the bar was charming and the vibe was perfect for sinking a few beers.

We always come here. It is one of the best places in Bologna for the variety of beers, quality of food and relaxed atmosphere. If I could give it six stars I would! The staff is friendly and helpful. Photo below: piadina with smoked swordfish: so good.

While wondering the streets of Bologna (read: completely lost and making the most of it), my husband and I stumbled upon this unassuming wine and beer bar. We had been looking for a bottle shop, but alas, all of them are closed on Sundays. We really wanted to get some rare Belgian beers, and out of nowhere, appeared Punto. Their bottle list read like a beer lover's fantasy novel: Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, Westvleteren. The best part, the prices! We got a demi-bottle of Cantillon beer for 13 euros. I realize this is normal for Europe, but in the States this would cost at least 50% more - if you could find it. There is a large patio out front (for the smokers), and plenty of seating indoors as well. The inside is kind of Euro-hipster, with a variety of interesting beer posters on the walls. Punto feels like a locals-only neighborhood bar, but I did run into another couple from California while waiting in line for the restroom (typical Americans). If you are looking to get away from the tourists in the Piazza Maggiore, I recommend having a drink at Punto. It is a delightful bar, located in a very "interesting" side of town.
