Café Time
For Italian-style aperitif time, Café Time, buried inside an unlikely little shopping arcade, attracts the local movers and shakers. Relax against the high-backed burgundy leather benches over a fine wine or cocktail with tasty bar snacks.

Privilege
Downstairs from street level and easily missed, this is the most central club in town. There are a couple of separate areas, including one for smokers! With go-go girls and guys, and the occasional spurt of live music, it attracts a pretty mixed crowd.

Soho Café
So that’s where they are! All those good-looking Lugano townies crowd in to this long, orange-lit bar for cocktails. Chilled DJ music creates a pleasant buzz. The problem might be squeezing through to the bar!

Morandi
A stalwart of Lugano’s dance scene, this multi-space club (including asphyxiating smoking room) places a fairly steady house diet and attracts a crowd that ranges from 17 to 47. Pink is the dominating hue.

La Lanchetta
Sitting on the lake opposite the Hotel Cassarate Lago, this hip, dimly lit bar is perfect for pre-dinner drinks. Furniture and dress sense is black, although there is a little tongue-shaped snug that glows white.

New Orleans Club
New Orleans Club, a lively spot from Thursday to Saturday nights, has Latin, hip-hop and disco nights. Deeply dark inside, there’s also room for a smoko outside.

Casinò Lugano
Can’t be bothered going to the huge casino in Campione d’Italia? No problem, you can lose your money in the rather lurid Casinò Lugano.

Desperados
This late-night disco bar is hot, cramped and sweaty - in other words the perfect nightclub. The entrance is on a tiny square off Vicolo Orfanotrofio.

Madai
A cool cocktail bar with reddish hues, lounges and dance music. At 10pm, the aperitif phase gives way to a club-style ambience.
