6 Best Nightlife in Chiaia, Santa Lucia, and Nearby, Naples

Between 8 and 9 in the evening, it seems as though the whole upscale Chiaia neighborhood has descended into this tiny space for an aperitivo. The small tables and low stools are notably uncomfortable, but the cozy atmosphere and the pleasure of being surrounded by glass-front cabinets full of wine bottles with beautiful labels more than makes up for it. Excellent local wines are available by the glass at great prices.

The bar entitled simply 66 describes itself as a "fusion bar." Some prefer it as a chic place to have an aperitivo (help yourself to the snacks beautifully laid out on the bar). Other patrons, who look like they've just popped out of one of the area's designer-clothing shops, come here to dine or gather in one of the upstairs rooms.

A particularly quiet and refined option in Chiaia is L'ebbrezza di Noè, which is both a stand-up bar and a sit-down eatery.

S'move is something between a bar and a club, filling around midnight with a young crowd that wears its clothes with the designer labels showing.
