Entertainment in Padua

  1. A

    Enoteca Santa Lucia

    Taking its cue from Milan, Santa Lucia offers upscale wines by the glass (€5 to €10) with a free buffet of local specialities and cheeses 7pm to 10pm nightly. Occupy your battle station at the glassed-in bar for buffet forays with Padua’s budget fashionistas, or head inside the ancient stone-walled tavern with the aficionados.

    Bibulus

    This all-day hotspot near Piazza Eremitani is nicknamed ‘the library’ because university students practically live here, mesmerised by the orange op-art decor, seasonal pasta dishes, 15 wines by the glass, and happy-hour buffet, all at philosophy-major prices.

    Café El Pilar

    Crush describes the quantity of people you’ll have to beat to the bar, the technique the bartender uses, instead of the usual blender, to make signature cocktails, and that pitter-patter Padua inspires by night’s end in the piazza.
