Tip: No kitchen of its own; pick up mortadella and bread at the Quadrilatero salumerias first then carry it in. Cash only at the counter.
Address: Vicolo Ranocchi 1/D, 40124 Bologna BO
Nu Lounge Bar runs a tiki room under the Quadrilatero porticoes on Via de' Musei, with a ceramic-mug back bar, fire-and-dry-ice drink presentations.
Tip: Cocktails sit around 11 euros; book a counter seat to see the fire show. The kitchen sends hard-shell tacos and poke bowls if you want a base for a longer sit.
Mutenye runs a craft and German beer bar on the Pratello strip, with a 30-tap pour, a deeper bottle fridge of Italian micros and German classics.
Tip: The pub is open until 03:00 every night so it picks up the Pratello late crowd after the osterias close. Cash and card both work.
Bar de' Marchi runs from a corner of Piazza San Francesco at the foot of the Pratello strip, with three euro amari, students and Pratello regulars.
Tip: Cash gets the cheapest pours; cards work too. The piazza in front fills past midnight with the Pratello spillover crowd.

Link runs Bologna's main underground electronic floor from a converted warehouse on Via Fantoni, programming techno, drum and bass and experimental sets.

Locomotiv Club has run a small but active concert room on Via Serlio since 2007, programming indie, electronic and alternative touring acts alongside its own.

Numa Club fills a warehouse near the Fiera with a large central dance floor and a multi-level layout, programming techno, house and hip hop nights through.
