  1. Caffè Antica Osteria al Duomo

    A cosy centuries-old tavern with mandolins, balalaikas and other stringed instruments hanging on the wall, this is the perfect spot for a delicious drop of fragolino (the local sweet strawberry wine) before dinner.

  2. M27

    Join a young, hip Veronese crowd for evening cocktails at this angular bar, where you can perch on designer stools in a squeaky-clean, polished ambience. If you fancy a ciggy, head upstairs, where, among other things, you'll find a smokers' section, of prime importance to puffers in smoke-free Italy.

  3. Rococó

    It's a reasonable trek from the city centre, but classic Rococó is a club worth cruising to. It has a touch of decorative Oriental luxury and the music ranges from hip-hop and R&B nights to world music and soul. Wash it all down with colourful cocktails.

  4. Teatro Filarmonico

    This 18th-century theatre, just south of Piazza Brà, has a programme of ballet and opera that dominates proceedings (rub shoulders with the likes of Anne Boleyn, Macbeth and even Cinderella), but you might just as easily come across a jazz night.
