Blob

Always a good time at this place. Great music, funny characters and very casual. Young hipster crowd. I went there almost every night with my friends who live in Florence. Only problem is that people smoke inside, even tho there is a huge sign saying it’s forbidden to smoke inside, there is really nobody there to reinforce the rules. I’ve experienced this in other bars/​clubs in Florence and the whole anarchy feel can be a bit scary sometimes!

Blob is like a hooker — in your right mind and early in the night you’d say hell no but at 4am and wasted it sounds like a perfectly good idea.
Just thinking of coming to this place makes me want to take a shower. Its tiny, packed with people, it gets hot (VERY HOT in the summer), indoor ventilation doesn’t exist, some people smoke, the foosball table is sticky and in terrible condition, dance floor is full of sweaty people and theres no place to move — blob is actually a pretty gross place and I happen to come here very often. It has an underground vibe even though many people know about it and it’s definitely a no brainer when you wanna keep partying after all the other bars are closed.
If you are equipped with a female reproductory system entrance is free. If you don’t you may have to pay cover charge unless the doorman is having a merry night.
There’s a stripper pole, but there are no strippers — why would you need them when there’s an army of exchange students practicing for free? :p

I can’t believe the Blob is still around. Over a decade ago when I was a student in Florence my friends lived in the building across from Blob so we hung out here a lot. The owner was a jolly fellow, the bartenders were friendly, the music was always good and it was a cozy place to go to after class when we didn’t want to go home.
