9 Best Nightlife in Naples, Italy

This small club in the historic district books jazz musicians and hosts jam sessions and live DJ sets. The cocktails are as good as the music.

The granddaddy of all the boho bars in Piazza Bellini was set up as a bookstore in the late 1980s and still has its own small publishing house with a variety of interesting titles, historic prints, and photos. Seats in the heated veranda are at a premium in winter, though many customers sit outside year-round.

The cool chrome furnishings at Kestè contrast with the old arched ceiling inside, but try to get a table out in the beautiful square in front of the Orientale University, and mingle with the city's students. A DJ spins tunes, and there's live music on the tiny stage on weekends.

A beautiful café and contemporary art gallery, Nea is a highly atmospheric spot to just hang out on student-filled Piazza Bellini, especially in fine weather at the tables outside or on the steps of the gorgeous university library.

Via Cisterna dell'Olio hosts the tiny but agreeably funky Superfly, with classic jazz on the speakers and a huge collage of punters' favorite albums lining the wall.
