Kinky Bar

This reggae club is not at all kinky – in fact, decidedly mainstream for this city, which seems to love the Caribbean beat. In summer the operation moves outdoors to local beaches.
Kukuwaya

The tiny dance floor here gets plenty of action to the sounds of funk, reggae or whatever gets people going. Closing time is flexible, tending towards very late.
La Piazzetta, Capri

Capri Town’s main square may be small but it’s big on la vita mondana (sophisticated lifestyle). The little bars, with their cluster of outdoor tables, are a magnet for daytrippers and locals alike, although the latter turn up after dark after the former have moved on.
La Tapas Bar

This relaxed bar occupies the choicest spot on this inviting little piazza. The musical selections tend towards Latin sounds. Despite the name, however, they serve no tapas .
La Zagara, Positano

A major tourist magnet, but there’s no denying that the treats they turn out here are delicious: pastries, cakes, fresh fruit sorbets and the like. The patio, with fragrant lemon trees, is captivating.
Lontano da Dove

Come here for an old-fashioned passion for literature – discussions about theatre, art or politics, poetry readings, and, at weekends, live jazz.
Music on the Rocks, Positano

The weeknight attraction at this club, evocatively set inside a cavern, is the soulful sounds of the resident pianist Claudio Fiori. At weekends the place turns into a nightclub equipped with high-energy house and techno. Cover charge.
Notting Hill

A long, narrow space with local rock groups, as well as touring Italian and international bands. On Saturdays it becomes “Notting Hill Gallery”, a semi-gay club night.
Numero Due, Capri

Another hot spot and local celebrity hangout. The DJ spins cool house and techno dance music, but don’t get here before 2am. Dressy club attire is de rigueur .
Otto Jazz

A Neapolitan tradition for jazz enthusiasts, this club spotlights local musicians and more mainstream trends in jazz, with a dash of southern Italian folk music.
