Stress Cafe
Stress? You must be joking. One of Trabzon's best live music and nargileh spots, the Stress Cafe is so laid-back it's almost horizontal. The Ottomans-R-Us decor is a bit naff, but this is a relaxing haven. Look for the backgammon-playing mannequins out front. Live music kicks off at 8pm most Friday and Saturday nights.

Keyif Coffee & Tea Store
Trabzon's studenty types gather amidst Anglophile vintage sporting gear and leather armchairs to enjoy more than 200 varieties of hot beverage.

Beer Time
Another hostelry in the same vein as the Şişman, but spread over two whole storeys, with wooden floors and a largely male crowd just avoiding that spit'n'sawdust feel.

Şişman Efes Pub
Now this is a proper pub: wooden tables, doodling barman, music drowned out by the general hubbub and the eponymous Efes beer served in 2.5L towers (around €8) on request.

Café Life
Choose Life: just opposite the Bordo Mavi, this wood-floored café-bar offers a beguiling mix of fast food and folky live music.

Sinema Lara
Hollywood blockbusters show just days after their international release. How's that for globalisation?

Luna Park
Head to this park between the old and new coastal roads for Black Sea fairground action.

Koza Caffe
Ignore the incongruous medieval decor and settle in for coffee and snacks with a soundtrack of bouncy Turkish pop. Get lucky and grab a seat at the tiny outdoor balcony. They'll even outsource a beer or a glass of wine if you ask them nicely.

Efes Pub
Two floors of smokey, blokey ambience with good bar snacks and draught Efes in 0.7L glasses and 2L 'beer towers' – perfect for sharing with the Russian sailors on the adjacent table. Female travellers may prefer Cingil Bar.

Cingil Bar
Hidden in a shopping arcade, this cosy music bar with a collage of your favourite musos (c 1975) is a good spot for a quiet drink away from the blokey beer halls. There's occasional live music at weekends. From Sinema Lara, head upstairs to the opposite end of the arcade.
