Trieste is not exactly a top destination for 24-hour party people, but it does have a very lively nightlife scene where a late afternoon aperitif can easily lead to an early morning taxi ride home, with a couple of typical local meals, several new friends and lots of memorable conversations often falling in between - at least that's always been our experience. As with the rest of Italy, there is often a very fine line separating cafés and bars here, but in this section we've tried to include those that fit more squarely in the second category. If you're looking for one area of town to concentrate your drinking efforts in, look towards the trendy Cavana neighbourhood to the west of Piazza Unità, where a cool new bar or restaurant seems to open every week or so these days. However, various other worthy beer halls, clubs, rock bars and more are scattered elsewhere in town.
