Cordoba’s nightlife runs on student energy. The city hosts Argentina’s second-largest university, so bars and clubs fill by midnight with groups of friends carrying backpacks and cheap Fernet. Head to **Nueva Córdoba**, the neighbourhood just south of the centre, where hostels and pubs cluster along **Avenida Hipólito Yrigoyen** and **Buenos Aires**. Most places don’t charge entry before 1 am, and a beer costs around 400 ARS (£0.40).
The hostel scene is just as lively. You’ll find everything from converted mansions with in-house bars to small, sociable spots where the front desk doubles as a cocktail counter. Many hostels organise their own bar crawls, so you can skip the queue and walk straight into the next club with a group of travellers.
