From May to September, the floating pontoon bar sets sail to the centre of Lago di Miseno (Miseno Lake) at around 9.30pm each night, with a shuttle-boat service providing access to and from the Bacoli lakeshore. At any time of the year, the place is a good bet for well-mixed cocktails, taglieri (platters) and decent aperitivi snacks.
