What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the Insolito Club for its exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff, good quality drinks and snacks, and honest prices, with some finding the coffee particularly good value. However, a common complaint is that while the service is friendly, the prices can feel surprisingly high for what is received, with one reviewer feeling "stabbed in the back" by the cost of drinks.

About this place Insolito Club

Insolito ("unusual" in Italian) is the closest thing Naples has to a flagship gay venue — a bar-club in the Chiaia district that balances the functions of cocktail lounge, neighbourhood gay bar and weekend dance space within a relatively small footprint. Chiaia is one of Naples' most attractive neighbourhoods: elegant 19th-century buildings, the Riviera di Chiaia waterfront promenade and a cluster of upscale bars and restaurants that spill onto the pavement. Insolito's position in this neighbourhood gives it a more polished character than the city's reputation might suggest. The early evening is cocktail-oriented — an excellent Negroni, good local wines, a free aperitivo spread Thursday through Saturday. After 23:00 on weekends a DJ takes over the small basement dance floor and the crowd tightens. Drag shows run on selected Saturday nights. The crowd is mixed gay/lesbian with queer-friendly straight regulars from the Chiaia social scene. This is a venue that reflects Naples' ability to be simultaneously traditional and unexpectedly open — staff are warm, the atmosphere is inclusive and the music is good.

If you are visitng Quartieri Spagnoli or Piazza Carità then you need to make a visit to this amazing Bar. The drinks are great and very reasonable. The staff are amazing and so welcoming, it really was a highlight of our holiday. We just wish we could have spent more evenings with them

Very cozy place, I highly recommend it! The staff is extremely nice. The cocktails are not made with plastic straws, but with straws made of pasta. They have very tasty craft beer on tap.

Very friendly service. You're not pressured to come in, but rather politely waved and invited in. The Aperol Slush is highly recommended.

13 euros for 1 Aperol and 1 beer. The terrace was very nice and the girl was very friendly, but you leave feeling like you've been stabbed in the back 🔪🔪🔪
