Africana, Marina di Praia

The approach to this disco is via a walkway excavated out of a seafront rock face, while the dance floor seems to be suspended above the waves. The decor includes ethnic masks and parrots.
Aret’ a’ Palm

The name is Neapolitan for “behind the palm”, which is just where this bar is located, on a laid-back piazza. Crowds show up at this stylish spot for the mix of world music and jazzy sounds.
Around Midnight

This live jazz venue focuses on standards and classics most of the time, booking local performers from around Italy.
Artis Domus, Sorrento

You’ll find both live music and disco here, in the cellar of a historic villa that belonged to a well-known Sorrentine poet and thinker. The atmosphere is terrific and there are excellent snacks too.
Aumm Aumm, Anacapri

A favourite among both local youth and visitors, this little bar doubles as a club, sandwich shop and pizzeria , open until late. Don’t overlook the excellent desserts.
Bar Anna, Paestum

A family-run place for either a drink or more substantial fare. A good chance to try the local mozzarella di bufala , either in a salad or in a panino (sandwich).
Bar Calise, Ischia

One of the island’s best bars, with excellent gelato (ice cream) and dolci (desserts). It’s surrounded by dense greenery in the middle of a traffic circle in this laid-back port.
Bar Ercolano, Sorrento

Located in what is probably the best people-watching piazza in town, this elegant little bar has the requisite cluster of outdoor tables from which to ogle the crowds. After 8pm, most of the area is closed to traffic.
Bar Stany & Elio, Ischia

Named after the Italian monikers for old-time slapstick comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, who have always had a fervent following in this country. It’s centrally located and features great gelato , made on the premises.
Bar Tiberio, Capri

One of the main bars on the renowned Piazzetta, but everyone has his or her own favourite. Great for people-watching.
