Blue Lounge bar

Hotel chain Melià arrived in 2011, but head bartender Gabriele Fantino was there a year before. People come to the American bar of this 5-star hotel in Genua drawn by its elegance and the refined menu. Classic drinks like the Martini are a given, but the team is perpetually at work to propose new things. Examples go from the menu comparing classic drinks to their twist to the one inspired by painters and their artworks - like the Vincent Van Gogh: genever 3y, Blue Butterfly pea, pineapple cordial and celery bitter. Gabriele's favorite cocktail? A Tommy's Margarita.
