Quinto Vicentino, Veneto
The Drunken Duck is one of Veneto’s best-known destinations for serious beer enthusiasts. Open in Quinto Vicentino since 2003, it combines a playful identity with a very serious approach to what goes into the glass. The pub is known for an extensive selection of craft beers on tap, continuous research into new breweries and a food menu designed to match the beer. Its signature burgers, local ingredients, outdoor spaces and two-floor layout make it a destination rather than simply a neighbourhood bar.
Address: Via degli Eroi, 77, 36050 Quinto Vicentino VI, Italy. From Vicenza railway station, a taxi or car is the simplest connection and generally takes only a short drive; local bus services also connect Vicenza with Quinto Vicentino. For air travel, Venice Marco Polo and Verona Villafranca are the two most practical major airports for the area. From either airport, continue by car, or travel first to Vicenza and then take a taxi to the pub. The Drunken Duck is especially rewarding for travellers who want to understand the depth of northern Italy’s craft-beer scene, where international styles meet regional food culture and an unmistakably Italian sense of hospitality.
