The Bars & Nightlife to Visit
Hiroshima Mon Amour
Hiroshima Mon Amour opened in 1989, and since then it has hosted all kinds of events. Some examples of artists who have performed here? Patti Smith, Kraftwerk, Sinéad O’Connor, Astor Piazzola, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and many more. On its two floors you can find three dancefloors and stages, where something different happens every night.
Bunker
Bunker is a large and eclectic space, the result of a cultural project which took a dismissed train station and created a meeting point for the people of Turin. Art, music and exchange merge into each other to form something unique. On the weekend big concerts and DJ sets of various kinds are organised, but there are also festivals and daily events in summer and spring.
Birrificio Torino
This pub and restaurant is the unique selling point of the unfiltered beer and micro-brewery Birrificio Torino, which was revived a few years ago. A genuine ambience with brick walls and dark wood makes it the perfect place for a bender with friends. Furthermore, for those intrigued by beer, Birrificio Torino even offers guided tours of its brewery.
Cavallerizza Reale
Cavallerizza Theatre is one of the amazing buildings left by the Savoy family. Having survived a series of accidents throughout the years, today it is a cultural centre run by a group of young locals. Together with cultural and sporting activities, many concerts are held. Dance the night away in its unique atmosphere, between historic treasures and modern music.
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
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.
