Naples is a city with plenty of character and buzzing nightlife, with underground jazz clubs and graffiti-emblazoned bars. Then you’ve got local life in the likes of Piazza Bellini, where people hop between wine bars and catch up into the early hours. Look a little closer and you’ll find thumping nightclubs too. Wondering where to head after nightfall? Without further ado...

For cocktails... Pepi Vintage Room

Blink and you might miss this vintage-style gem! Tucked away down a side street near the LAPIS Museum, it’s got walls accented by old-fashioned sunglasses and a distinctively upbeat vibe. You’ll find the usual selection of beers and spritzes, but when it comes down to the cocktails, you’re in for a real treat. There’s no set menu, so be prepared to tell them the ingredients and flavours you like, and watch the bartenders curate a cocktail before your very eyes.

For a bargain Aperol spritz... Cammarota Spritz

€1 Aperol spritz? Yes please! This no-frills bar in the Spanish Quarter is the go-to place for students, tourists and locals looking for cheap drinks and good vibes. It’ll come as no surprise that it gets super busy, especially with those penny-pinching prices, so expect to sip, stand and soak up the atmosphere.

For jazz music and drinks... Bourbon Street Jazz Club

New Orleans or Naples? You wouldn’t know when you step through the doors of Bourbon Street Jazz Club. It’s an intimate bar in the city centre with a focus on good cocktails and great music. Swing by in the evenings and you’ll stumble across everything from live jazz performances and jam sessions to DJ sets and dancing.

For booze and books... Libreria Berisio

Book in one hand, glass of vino in the other. Sounds good, right? At Libreria Berisio, time-worn armchairs beckon book and wine lovers alike to plonk themselves down and enjoy life’s greatest pleasures! There’s an array of different books covering everything from history to politics and some of them are even available to buy. If you’d prefer a cocktail, there’s an extensive menu to choose from too.

For vino... Apoteca Winebar

If you love wine, this is the place for you. Apoteca is a rustic-looking spot tucked down a dinky alleyway serving up top-notch vino and tasty bar snacks. The staff are friendly, and the prices are affordable. What’s not to love?

For cocktails and live music... Shanti Art Musik Bar

Shanti Art Muski bar boasts cool, beach bar vibes with no frills furniture made from recycled wooden pallets and embellished cushions to lounge on. And the huge Buddha heads and festival-style bunting only add to the boho vibe. With cool cocktails and chilled music, it’s a little oasis among the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
