nightlife in pescara
The night club scene in Pescara, Italy is gaining ground in the peninsula. Italy’s bars and clubs are hopping and the music scene is respected throughout Europe. Renowned for its traditional Italian shops, cafes and pubs, you are sure to fall for the vintage charms of Pescara. Pescara is essentially a holiday town, so there are plenty of drinking places along the seafront, intermingled between the multitude of pizzerias and seafood restaurants. The other key area to head to is the Old Town where in the balmy summer evenings, the bar crowds spill out onto the streets. During the summer, the beach is packed with partygoers, with many nightclubs having outside venues on the beach itself. Those looking for the chance to dance, need do no more than drive or walk along the beach and listen for whatever takes their fancy. Away from the seafront, the “Ex-Gaslini”, a former factory in Via Pindario is also becoming a central hub of Pescara’s nightlife.
