The Amalfi Coast is a location synonymous\u00a0with luxury and sophistication, and perhaps no property is more sought after than that of Le Sirenuse<\/a><\/strong>, the<\/em> iconic hotel in picture perfect Positano. \u00a0While our original intention was to enjoy a pre-dinner drink at\u00a0Franco’s Bar<\/a> (technically a spill over watering hole from Le Sireneuse), we were just a few days early for the season to have officially started (and thus found ourselves staring sadly into a locked patio). \u00a0Fortunately, the Champagne and Oyster Bar at La Sirenuse was less than a block away (and on the same stunning side of the street). \u00a0Would we mind having a sundowner there? \u00a0Well, of course not!<\/p>\n

The drinks menu is fairly extensive, and after a lot of talk of Espresso Martinis<\/em> and Bellinis<\/em>, the rest of the table ordered exactly that, while I was happy with my Lemon Drop Martini<\/em>. \u00a0Now, having traveled to the St. Regis Maldives<\/a> recently, I’m not a stranger to resort pricing, however, EUR20 for a relatively small amount of alcohol is a bit cheeky, even for the venue. \u00a0Of course, the market will certainly be happy to pay this, and every table was full within minutes. \u00a0Your EUR20 drink does also buy you a few snacks (including amazing olives and delicious crisps, along with relatively attentive service), so perhaps it’s really about sitting back and enjoying the sunset with friends in one of the more picturesque locations in the world. \u00a0(And yes, there are champagne and oysters, should you be so inclined).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

My biggest tip? \u00a0Either make a reservation or plan to be at either location exactly at 6 PM. \u00a0Spots fill up VERY quickly (even in the shoulder season). \u00a0Of course, we managed to get our group of 7 in by mentioning we would be leaving at a specific time…<\/p>\n

Would I go back? \u00a0If you’re going to overpay for a drink, you might as well do it here. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite place to grab drinks on holiday? \u00a0Or a tourist location that lives up to tradition?<\/p>\n
