About this place Exit

Exit is the most consistent and long-running explicitly gay bar in Palermo, located in the newer part of the city north of the historic centre. The bar is compact — a cocktail area at street level, a small basement dance floor, a terrace open in summer. The format is familiar: aperitivo from 18:00, cocktails through the evening, DJ sets on Friday and Saturday. The crowd is mixed gay/lesbian with a sprinkling of queer-friendly straight regulars. Exit benefits from its position in the more prosperous and commercially active part of the city, away from the intense density of the Arab quarter and Ballarò. It serves as the orientation point for visiting LGBTQ+ tourists and as a community hub for local gay men and women. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable about the current event calendar. Unlike northern Italian venues, the signage is discreet — a small rainbow sticker on the door is the only external indicator.

Very cozy atmosphere, mostly locals gathering there. Around 11:00 PM it was already pleasantly busy. Small downside: the cockroach 🪳 in the toilet that was watching from a corner as I peed. Otherwise, a nice bar.

Four waiters behind the bar and no table service: if you want a drink on the terrace, you have to go back and forth alone. A decidedly innovative hospitality concept. At least the risk of slipped discs for the staff is minimized.

It opens late, but the outdoor area fills up quickly. The cocktails are really well made, but at €8 for a basic cocktail, it's on the pricier side for the area – which also influences the target audience. We were the only ones under thirty that evening. The crowd was mostly 40-65. The atmosphere inside is rather cold, so everyone heads outside. Young people don't seem to frequent the explicitly queer venues and appear to hang out at Kalsa. Exit is cute and has its place, but it feels less young and vibrant.

So many evenings spent here! And so many memories! A truly beautiful place to spend peaceful evenings! A place for everyone, beautiful and cared for down to the last detail! If you want to relax and spend a few hours in peace, this is the right place for you!
