Exit Drinks

About

The bar of Palermo's LGBTQ+ community, in its own words, and it has been that since 1996. It sits on Piazza San Francesco di Paola, between the Politeama and the old centre, and it is the oldest queer address in the city by a long way.

It works as an aperitivo bar and stays open as a bar into the night, gay and lesbian mixed. In summer people spill onto the square and the steps outside, which is where most of the evening actually happens.

The same name runs EXIT 10 & Love, the Saturday party with drag and go-go dancers that moves to a larger club, so the bar doubles as the front door to the city's biggest queer night. It is also tied into Palermo Pride, and its page is where the parade photographs end up.
