Babilonia

À propos de ce lieu Babilonia

Babilonia occupies a prime position on the Riviera di Chiaia — the long, tree-lined promenade that runs along Naples' western waterfront between Chiaia and Mergellina, with views across the Bay of Naples towards Vesuvius. The bar has an open terrace and an interior that manages the Neapolitan trick of being simultaneously elegant and relaxed. It is not exclusively gay — the Riviera attracts a broadly mixed evening crowd — but it is consistently cited as gay-friendly and is well-known within Naples' LGBTQ+ community as a comfortable and visible space. The drinks focus on Campania wines (Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Lacryma Christi) alongside the standard cocktail menu, giving the bar a specifically Neapolitan character. The waterfront setting is spectacular on warm evenings when the terrace fills and the lights of the bay are reflected in the water. A natural first stop before moving on to Insolito or another venue in the area.
