DK Travel : Naples & the Amalfi Coast : Spaccanapoli to Capodimonte : Bars & Nightclubs

Bourbon Street

This large jazz club features local talent every evening. In summer the management often organizes jazz cruises around the bay.
Intra Moenia

This large bar-café-bookshop-publisher is a magnet on this attractive piazza. It’s a wonderful place to have a drink and soak up the intellectual ambience.
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 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 .
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.
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.
Sanakura

This subterranean club is a thriving student hangout – expect a permanent cloud of smoke over the tiny space. Live bands from Italy and around Europe occasionally take to the stage.
Superfly

An excellent, tiny jazz bar, with first-rate drinks and snacks. It’s also a sometimes gallery for Naples’ new crop of photographers and artists.
Velvet Zone

The “Velvet” is the top club in the old quarter for dancing, since it stays open until 6am at weekends. Music varies from techno to 1980s to rock, and even to live music from time to time.
