Bars and nightlife

Many of the city's
bars
are as glossy as the top-notch cafAŠs, though there is one survival of old Trieste, the
Osteria de Libero
, on the castle hill at Via Risorta 7 (closed Sun), which can hardly have changed in a hundred years. The bar in the Galleria Protti - which runs north from the Piazza Borsa, inside the Assicurazioni Generali building - has a Thirties' nightclub feel. For late drinking, Via Madonna del Mare, on the castle hill, has a number of bars whose names, managements and popularity come and go each year - it's best to follow your ears to where the crowds are. In the new town,
Public House
, Via San Lazzaro 9 (closed Sun), is a trendy, upmarket wine bar, while the
CaffA? della Musica
, at Via Rosetti 6 (closed Sun), off Viale XX Settembre is younger and more studenty than most, and has occasional live music. After midnight, the most popular
nightspots
are east down the Riva:
Benningans Pub
and
Tender
are fairly tacky, but full to bursting on weekend nights; the most central disco,
Mandracchio
, is on the Passo di Piazza, off Piazza Unita, and comes with similar warnings. Other useful information
