Italy - bars/clubs ages for entrance/service?

Question

I'm going to Italy this summer. I'm 18 and im going with another 18 year old and a 17 year old, but she looks a young for her age, maybe 15/16. Do you think we'll have trouble with getting served at bars or getting into clubs? Personal experiences would be great.

Answer 1

Bar: no problem for entrance, even the children can enter to bar (for example for breakfast)

Alcolic: must be over 16 by law to buy.

Pub: usually nobody ask ID to guest but could be appen if you are (or seem) too young.

p.s. Italian usually don't like drunks and to get drunk.

italian go to pub to speak with friend and go clubs to know the girs :)

Answer 4

The legal age for buying alcohol in Italy is 16.
