Bars & Nightlife

Catania is a student town, and as such, boasts quite a few hip bars and clubs frequented by the local youths. A regional speciality in terms of nightlife is the so-called "lido" — beach venues well-visited by tourists and locals for sunbathing, swimming and water sports during the day, and transforming into bars and beach clubs after sundown.

Afrobar

Afrobar is a beachfront venue with a dance floor that is set directly on the sand. It's located on premises of one of the many waterside "lido" spaces. During the day, the place is visited by beach-goers and families, but the night sees it transform into a night club with bonfires and fire …

Mercati Generali

Mercati Generali

Arguably the finest nightlife establishment in Sicily (and a solid contender for being in the top worldwide), Mercati Generali is located about 10 kilometres from the city centre, but is certainly worth the drive. The crowd it attracts is rather posh, but the vibe remains relaxed and …

Nievski

Nievski's clearly left-leaning interior is popular for pre-party drinks amongst the local artsy and alternative crowds, as well as the student population. The stairs in front of the establishment are a buzzing hang out spot as well, favoured by the younger …

Le Capannine

Le Capannine is a beach club by day and a pumping party venue at night, when its relaxed cafes and fitness spaces transform into busy dance floors (DJs spin different genres depending on the spot) and bars. The venue follows a Caribbean theme, complete with palm trees and tropical …

Etnea Roof Bar & Restaurant

Etnea Roof Bar & Restaurant

The stunning views over mount Etna aren't the only reasons to pay a visit to this rooftop establishment: the evening "aperitivo" buffet is varied and generous and includes a drink in the price. During the daytime, it is a high-quality restaurant that serves elevated Italian and Mediterranean …

Mezzaparola

Currently, a popular watering hole, Mezzaparola is a tiny bar with some seating in the upstairs lounge area, but patrons often opt to simply chill outside by the entrance when it gets too packed (which it increasingly does near …

Boheme Mixology Bar

A bar with a great ambience, Boheme Mixology has no set menu, but rather offers guests the option of getting something very special crafted for them based on individual preferences. The bar is centrally located, with a mixed crowd of locals and international …

First Lounge Bar

First Lounge Bar

The tucked-away bar in a small central square isn't a place a wandering visitor would just stumble upon. It's a hidden gem of a spot with seating outside and a distinctly bohemian feel to it, much due to the past-century-looking buildings encircling the …

Glamour Hoppe Bier Cafe

Glamour Hoppe Bier Cafe

The casual eatery and bar isn't one of the places to go for those party vibes, but it's certainly great for a leisurely evening with a cocktail following an abundant aperitivo. Music nights are hosted here on the regular, which includes both contemporary and jazz …

Rix Catania

The classy yet laid-back Rix is a place where cocktails are serious business – the mixologists exhibit true professionalism, and craft both vintage and contemporary drinks of a very decent quality. Food is served for those looking to grab a bite, and the pizza seems to be much …
