Hours: Sun-Thu 18:00-01:00; Fri-Sat 18:00-02:00
Bastian Contrario Public House taps its own Parma-brewed beers on Strada Inzani: eleven lines plus two pumps, from Miss Matilda to the rotating one-offs.
Tip: The brewery's taproom and kitchen live at Via Rapallo, with a 1969 trailer as its roving festival bar; this pub is the nightly, no-booking way to the tanks.

Vecchie Maniere fills a Bernabei courtyard in Parma's Oltretorrente with craft taps and live-music nights, the neighbourhood pub the district deserves.
Tip: Check their pages for the live sets; on music nights the courtyard fills by 21:30 and the taps queue after each set.

Hours: Tue-Thu 07:00-01:00; Fri-Sat 07:00-02:00; Sun 08:00-01:00; Mon closed
Barino works Piazza XXV Aprile in Parma from breakfast espresso to two-in-the-morning spritz, with pizza and a long wine shelf holding the middle.

BANG Club stacks Parma's late weekend into one address on Via Ugolotti: dinner and pizza early, cocktails after, DJ sets running to three in the morning.

Birreria Chelsea ★ 3.5
san-lazzaro · Via Marco Emilio Lepido 22, 43123 Parma
Hours: Wed-Mon 19:30-01:00; Tue closed
Birreria Chelsea holds its long-running beer-and-panini corner on Via Emilio Lepido in Parma, a neighbourhood pub that opens when the city eats dinner.
