A vintage vending machine stocked with eight bottled Negronis, including a rotating seasonal riff, is a pretty good thesis statement for an aperitivo bar. Bar Bello is an ode to Italian drinking culture, all taralli, focaccia, and a long list of amari and vermouths alongside Sbagliatos, Garibaldis, and cocktails built for a large patio. It landed on North America's 50 Best Bars list. Come with a tolerance for bitterness and no plans until evening.
