Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2024-11-18

Turin's nightlife is impressively varied. You are certain to find something that matches your taste and mood. From the elegant bars located on Piazza Vittorio, to the alternative pubs and clubs in Santa Giulia and Quadrilatero, to the real heart of Turin nightlife in San Salvario — each neighbourhood has its own style.

During spring and summer, local revelers enjoy the warm weather outdoors, on the large terraces of bars or simply in Valentino Park, sitting on the banks of the Po. Clubs usually open at around 11 pm, but the party really gets going from 1 am onward. Furthermore, if you are a real party enthusiast, you can even enjoy some after parties from 6 am until noon.

On its two floors you can find three dancefloors and stages, where something different happens every night.

Tamango

Tamango

The namesake specialty of Tamango is a must for whoever wants to enjoy a party night in Turin. The ruby-coloured Tamango cocktail with high alcohol content has ancient African origins, and it was imported to the city during the 1980s. The recipe is still a closely guarded secret: the obscure ingredients are thought to have hallucinogenic effects. This tiny and arcane bar is renowned in the entire city, making it a perfect stop-over before heading to the clubs.

San Salvario

San Salvario

The San Salvario neighbourhood near Porta Nuova Station has become the new centre of Turin’s movida in the last few years. You will find an impressive amount of bars and restaurants in the area between Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Corso Marconi. It is at night that it really comes to life, when hundreds of youngsters gather in the numerous terraces or on Largo Saluzzo square.

La casa del Demone

La casa del Demone

This bar has a very terrifying theme, as the name "La Casa del Demone" (Devil's House) suggests. The ambience is reminiscent of a horror movie cave, with soft lights, skeletons and a large bar with a big demon's head front and centre. Despite the creepy atmosphere, you can try some of the best cocktails in the city and you can even enjoy several delicious courses.

Zero Bar

Zero Bar

Located in the centre of the city, just around the corner from Piazza Vittorio, Zero Bar is a lively and youthful bar.

Clorophilla

Clorophilla

Clorophilla is one of the bars under the arcades of Piazza Vittorio. It definitively stands out among the others thanks to its interior decor made to resemble a forest. All the cocktails here are delicious, but its real specialties are the "Zuccherini": lumps of sugar plunged in flavoured liqueurs. An absolute must of Turinese nights.

Soundart

Soundart

This hidden gem is tucked away in a side street close to Porta Nuova Station, and it is primarily a funky cocktail bar. Every night the staff serves a fabulous aperitif buffet accompanied by cocktails or wine. The venue also has an exhibition space for artists and musicians.
