Auditorium Flog
Regular live gigs from genre-spanning local and touring bands are the go at this big venue, usually followed by DJs spinning anything from old-school house to electronica. If you're here in October/November and like your world music, make sure to catch the terrific Musica dei Popoli festival.

Bebop
There's no rhyme - sometimes not even reason - to the music played here, although you might find something to suit on its menu of jazz, blues and country. Admission is usually free and the atmosphere laid-back.

Caffè La Torre
Caffè La Torre is a popular hangout near the Arno where you can eat and drink your fill without emptying your wallet. Live music goes on into the wee hours, with customers swaying and tapping along to jazz and blues or Latin rhythms.

Chiodo Fisso
Singer-songwriter and local legend Andrea Ardia has converted the medieval vaults of this one-time wine cellar into a cosy gathering place for wine and song. He sings his own material and covers Italian classics from Fabrizio de Andrè to Francesco de Gregori - sometimes alone, sometimes with guests. If it's open, this offers a singular opportunity to bathe in Italian musical culture over a bottle of red. Opening times can be loose.

Eby's Latin Bar
Bright blues and reds greet you in a festive Mexican fashion in this lively Latin bar. Cocktails are good and the music tropical. Burritos (around €4.50 ) and other snacks are on hand and the place is a hit with locals.

Jazz Club
This is one of Florence's top jazz venues. The atmosphere is low-lit and the music is at a level that's meant to be enjoyed without necessarily impinging too much on the conversation - a good mix. At the weekend you should book a table if you're going in a group, and on Tuesdays, you can join in on the jam session.

Teatro Verdi

Tenax
This is where the big names play when they come to town and it's also a good place to check the pulse of the Italian scene. When the bands clear, the best local DJs take over and the massive raised dance floor pumps to progressive house, big beat and hip-hop.
