In addition to traditional Italian cafés, Brindisi and many other towns have a few bars and pubs favoured by groups of residents of all ages. Nightlife in Brindisi itself and in most of the sleepy towns around the region is on the quiet side, comprising a few music bars and several summer discotheques.
In this city, most evening hot-spots are centred around Corso Garibaldi, which comes alive at night with young and old leaving home for an evening spent in the name of drinking and socialising. For a more active nightlife, there are summer discos (playing mainly Italian Euro-pop) in some of the beach resorts, but these open only during the region’s short summer holiday season (July through August).
In the province, Lecce represents an exception to the rule, with some trendy bars that often feature DJs or live music, particularly along the Via Federico d’Aragona in the Old Town.
