Music and nightlife venues for good late nights up
The stylish Buebay club in Castro
Nightlife isn’t overly exciting down here to be honest (that’s a matter of taste of course). Yet among many club, festivals and one nighters, some venues definitely suit a more discerning clientele and anyway are fun. Keep also updated with the SF’s weekly updates on special events and one-nighs around the region…

BLUEBAY | Castro
The ultimate super night club on the East Coast. A place where to party in style while waiting for a sunrise that nowhere else can be spotted this intense. A gem of design, sound shape and professional management, Blubay fits nearly a thousand beautiful people in fancy dresses pumping to proper house music from the best local djs and guests such as Ibiza’s Luciano and Peggy Gou- Good table service

MASSERIA WAVE
This countryside hotel has recently turned from a family residence into an open space of tolerance and contemporary hedonism. It is the only place of this kind down these shores actually. It welcomes a vast eclectic clientele that is a bit younger, funky, lgbqt+ friendly and really up to party. Music go from serious electronics to fun Italian classics, along with drag shows and an always exhilarating entertainment. It can be fun
RIOBO’ | Gallipoli
A steady presence in the Salento Nightlife for decades, among the many clubs in Gallipoli this is the more suitable for an international clientele, with good table service and accessible house music. Not my type of clubs really. But again, among the many of not-so-good-quality in the area, this one will do if you really want to stay up late. Just avoid the dance floor eventualy, and once you get a private table you’ll be cool in proper comfort
MAESTRALE | Otranto
Located by the beach in the town centre, sunset to after dinner Maestrale is the ultimate quality bar in Otranto. Slightly glamorous yet still casual and fun, it gives its best at sunset time, then after dinner the beats go up and you can dance till late to some “ok” music

CASTELLO DI TUTINO | Tricase
Local film maker Edoardo Winspeare has turned this medieval castle In the heart of Tricase into a space for culture and gastronomy. Every weekend -and everyday over the high season- they host quality bands, dj’s and entertainment shows, for what is an intense summer program promising the refined clientele an overall good time of fine cultural value
BIRREGHE | San Foca
One of my very favorite bars. Since 2015 the young owners Marta and Filippo keep the otherwise boring village San Foca alive and groovy with their state of state of art drinks, and quality funky music from the best local dj’s, until 3 am every night. All the way by the harbor Yo!
