The Gambrinus is the city’s oldest liberty-style coffee shop.
In this bar many artists have composed their poetry and song, it was also the meeting place of many of Naples’ well-known professionals.
During World War II, at the Gambrinus was born a tradition that says a lot about the spirit of the Neapolitans.
It is tradition that the clients of this bar order a suspended coffee (caffè sospeso), paying the price of two coffees but receiving and consuming only one. A poor person enquiring later whether there was a “sospeso” available would then be served a coffee for free. It’s a simple, anonymous act of generosity and charity.
Come discover the traditions and the spirit of Neapolitans riding our amazing Segway Ninebot, hop off along the way and ask for a "suspended coffee" in the city's oldest coffee shop!!
