Fun and entertainment Cagliari

In the heart of the historic centre, very close to the Saint-Rémy Bastion, this establishment has existed since 1855! It has seen everything that Sardinia has counted artists and politicians. Today the Antico Caffè is still the place to be. Businessmen, intellectuals and foreigners meet here for a cocktail, lunch or dinner on the terrace or in the elegant hall. The chef's suggestions are creative and tasty. The turn-of-the-century atmosphere is relaxing. The only drawback is that the service is not always very fast or cordial.

This wine, oyster and champagne bar shares its kitchen with the historic Ristorante Italia. One provides the other with fine wines and ultra-fresh seafood, while the other provides the other with good, original and light dishes. The place has become the haunt of the trendy people who want to have a drink while tasting good food. Wooden tables stamped "Oyster" welcome the plates of shellfish. Boards of cold meats and cheese are also there to accompany the wide choice of French and Italian wines and the champagne cellar.

Opposite the Regina Margherita Hotel, the Box Office occupies the ground floor of a small building. Don't be impressed by the unattractive aspect of the place. This is where tickets for shows in Cagliari and all over the island are sold. The programme can be found on their website. Concerts, theatre, dance performances, festivals and sporting events, all the performing arts are represented. The disadvantage lies in the opening hours. You have to come in the morning, and sometimes early, for the most eagerly awaited shows.

To be sure to spend a good evening, this disco bar, on the Bastione San Remy.

A nice outdoor disco overlooking Santa Gilla pond.

Classical music and dance, lyrical singing are found in this beautiful building with its pure lines. Cagliari acquired a concert hall worthy of the name in 1993. It is located just above the ancient Roman amphitheatre, which continues to host some interesting productions in the summer. The programming of the Lyric Theatre is classical: Mozart's Requiem , Prokoviev's Peter and the Wolf, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 or Verdi's Aida allow to revise its range of great standards. Performances take place in the evening, from 9pm.

The B-Flat ("si bémol" in French) sets the tone for jazz nights in Cagliari. This club is one of the few places where you can listen to live music in the capital. Jazz bands of all styles play on the small, warm stage and create a cosy or completely wild atmosphere. The audience is seated at round tables, lit by candles, and sip a cocktail from the long list offered by the bar. The place is ideal to end a day without any false notes.

In the heart of the maze of pedestrian streets and very close to the beautiful Piazzetta Savoia, a real wine bar that serves natural wines and nuggets from small local producers. If you haven't yet fallen for the canonau or the bovale, now is the time, because here they only serve nectars. You can also enjoy small planks of cold cuts and cheeses to accompany all this. An address a little bit bobo but rather refined and pleasant.

This recent modern café is a change from the typical Sardinian places. It has a beautiful corner terrace to enjoy a caffè latte in the morning and a drink in the evening. With its designer decoration and its cuisine of fresh products, the continuous service benefits everyone. The small, well-kept menu of gourmet sandwiches and sophisticated salads is very tempting. In the evening, the long liquor menu attracts night owls. They sit down and order platters of cold meats and cheeses to accompany the aperitif. The place is not cheap but the Rafé plays the quality card.

Le Florio is the Villanova bar where everyone meets for a drink. Here, you can nibble on original salads where mayonnaise is black garlic, cucumber meets bottarga and cauliflower meets plum. Inspired recipes are created by Old Friend Bar & Bistrot, one of the city's trendiest addresses. Le Florio offers a cutting-edge electro music program. On certain evenings, live concerts and DJ sets are held. The tiny bar is just a pretext for invading the terrace on a pleasant tree-lined square.

You'll find all the traditions of an Irish pub on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, away from the lively Piazza Yenne. The menu has more than 70 varieties of beer and an authentic cuisine (meat, fish, snacks...), which can be enjoyed until late, which is rare. The setting respects the codes with its long wooden bar, backlit bottle shelves and high stools. A good atmosphere reigns in this pub frequented by locals and which has a pleasant terrace often full in the evening.

The "INU" is anchored in the night landscape of Cagliari. This trendy wine bar offers a fine Sardinian wine list. You can taste Sardinia's great and lesser vintages, accompanied by boards of the island's best charcuterie and cheese, pies and other gourmet appetizers. The place is especially popular at aperitif time. An address not to be missed! And if you melt for one of the products tasted, you can get it at the boutique. Thursday evening is a musical evening with a live concert.
