As the weather gets warmer so does the evening life at local bars and restaurants on the weekends. Italian Holidays mean the hotels, restaurants and bars will be very busy. As summer sets in there is some nightlife in almost every village.
Cantina dello Zio Bramante
in Manarola is a the watering hole par excellence for the young locals, musicians and social minglers. The owners invite latin jazz bands or musician friends to play on weekend nights in the summertime. The tavern-like atmosphere has been known to transform itself into a late night dance party if the owner is in the mood.Pie de Ma Wine Bar
Perched atop a cliff on the Via Dell'Amore closer to the Riomaggiore side this bar offers a sample of the best wines by the glass of the region. The owners are experienced cocktail artists and this is a draw for many Cinque Terre locals and La Spezia area people as well. The seating is in the open so the bar is closed November to February. In the summer they invite DJs, bands and dance groups to perform on their terrace overlooking the sea.Enoteca da Elizeo
in Monterosso is a delightful and friendly place to have an aperitivo or a glass of wine at any time. It's famous for its selection of Grappa, but be advised that you may be competing with the locals for a place at busy times.
