Mercati Generali
The student population's favourite club, this place is out of town (so you'll need your own transport or a taxi) and it hosts the best parties around. DJ Talvin Singh has played here, as well as many good international and local DJs. You'll find Ninja Tunes-released artists on their list, as well as some of Berlin's promising names.

Rendez Vous Wine Bar
An elegant place with a modern look and canary-coloured lampshades, the Rendez Vous is right at the end of the Via Teatro Massimo bar strip. It has tables and chairs on the little balcony outside, but the crowd spreads out onto the street below too.

L'Incognito
Woven chairs and palm trees make L'Incognito's outdoor area feel like a tropical corner despite the fact that it's right on Piazza Bellini. It's a popular place for a drink and chat and starts getting busy only after 22:00.

Waxy O'Connors
A really popular place, where many come to listen to (sometimes pretty dodgy) live music and watch the dancers shake their booties. It doesn't appeal to everyone, but many love it. Across from Joyce.

Over Time Pub
A unique place in the city, Over Time brings out real poker tables on Monday nights and the local crowd puts their poker faces on and comes out to play. Check it out, it's quite fun just to watch.

Stag's Head
Opposite Over Time, the Stag's Head has huge speakers out the front and their tables are permanently full, mostly with students drinking beer and mouthing the words to whatever song is playing.

Perbacco! Wine Bar
Quite a large bar with sofas and cushions laid out under burgundy canopies, Perbacco! is a real hit with the Catanians, who hang out here until the wee hours, enjoying the variety of wines.

A cool lounge bar with massive leather sofas in the street and electric-blue lighting inside. Disco music is favoured by the young crowd, though not much dancing goes on.

Joyce
Joyce is an Irish pub where you can enjoy pints of Guinness in a pleasant courtyard. It's quite a popular place and quieter than the wacky Waxy's across the street.
