Naples Nightlife

Hyppokampos : I have worked here as General Manager for a year , I think that it is a very kool place to hang out on a friday to have dinner and dance to a very good music.
The best of all is the STAFF .. super !

La Bavarese.
This place is soooo much fun. Dancing. Live bands and some good food. Order pitchers of sangria and have some fun. They now have dance instructors that teach Latin dances free. Don't be surprised to see families with young children there either. They may look small, but some of those kids can dance.
MAKE RESERVATIONS for a sure shot at getting a table on the weekends. Crowd picks up at around 11pm.

Dress Code: Jeans to suits. You will see everything here. Also, watch your camera, as is the case in all of Naples. I think one of the waiters snagged mine after I left it there by accident. He could have kept it, I just wanted my film!

One great band - Nevada - plays here frequently. Check out my tip on that band for their website.

Le Belle Choses is a good watering hole for someone like me that loves beer for there are many varieties to chose from as the name suggests. The pub is located right near Piazza Plebiscito and there is outdoor seating where I enjoyed people watching as I drank my pint.

Dress Code: Casual

From the time we came upon it by accident on our first evening in Naples, the Piazza Bellini became our favourite spot in which to end (and on one occasion to start!) every evening. Quite near the university, it attracts something of an intellectual crowd, and the bars and cafés have a little of the feel of Paris’s Left Bank (the less touristy parts). One bar, Intra Moenia, became a firm favourite in just those few days.

It describes itself as a “Caffé Letterario” (i.e. Bookstore Café): a salon for viewing, hearing and tasting Neapolitan culture in the heart of the historic centre. Inside it consists of several small rooms, some of which have books for sale, another a piano and (when we were there) a photography exhibition. Most of these rooms have tables and chairs for drinking and/or eating the light meals served here. There is also an enclosed terrace, which was our usual choice, and plenty of tables outside in the square itself. Smoking is allowed in the last two places but not right indoors.

Mostly we came here just for a drink – an after dinner grappa being my preferred choice. On one occasion we also ate dessert here – apple cake for me and chocolate cake for Chris, with coffees – and on another a pre-dinner Campari and beer. We also visited one of the other cafés in the square (I didn’t note its name but it was the most northern of the little row) where I sampled the local delicacy limoncello. This had a similar covered terrace, and made a pleasant change, but I preferred the Intra Moenia for its friendly waitress, arty atmosphere and wider views of the square.

Dress Code: Nothing special - but wrap up warm if you fancy sitting outside in November!

It's quite expensive but it's a beautiful Café. They also serve meals and more.

Built in 1.860, some famous astists, writers and politics who visted this Café. Among the, Oscar Wilde and Guy de Maupassant.

This club is a great place to meet people, it only cost between 2 and 7 euro to get in, depending on the night it's in the area of Naples called "Centro Storico", it's the college area of Naples, the people here are much more down to earth and easier to approach at the club. At other clubs you will have a much harder time meeting chics unless you're black.

Dress Code: none within reason

Hip cafe' with a captal H.
There is usually good music and a lot of what I like to call youngens. Anyone who is anyone is here at some point in the night. It accomodates what Italian kids like to do best and that is sit around and people watch as they kill the early hours of the night before the hitting up the clubs.
Its right on the water and offers a nice view of mergellina.

Dress Code: No dress code.
