5 reviewed party hostels · from €14.00/night · Hostelworld rated
Naples doesn’t do nightlife like other Italian cities. Here, the party starts at 10pm and runs until the last metro home: or until you collapse. The hostel scene is small but loud, with rooftop bars and organised crawls that drag you through the city’s best-kept drinking spots. Take **Hostel of the Sun**, for example: its rooftop bar overlooks the Bay of Naples, and its weekly bar crawl hits places like **Club 278** and **Slash**, where locals and backpackers mix by midnight.
Most hostels sit in the historic centre or near **Piazza Garibaldi**, putting you within walking distance of cheap wine bars and late-night pizza slices. The vibe is less polished, more real: expect loud conversations, spontaneous singalongs, and a crowd that treats every night like a festival.

Organised nights out with a local guide
This crawl runs every Thursday and Saturday, starting at 10pm. It visits four bars and one club, with free shots at each stop and a free drink at the final club. The crawl attracts 100–200 people weekly, mostly backpackers. Expect a mix of hostel guests and solo travellers.
A smaller, more intimate crawl that focuses on the historic centre. It includes three bars and a club, with a free welcome shot and discounts on drinks. The group size is capped at 30, so it’s less chaotic than larger crawls. The crawl ends at **Club 278**.
How Naples's nightlife zones break down
The heart of Naples, where narrow alleys hide bars, pizzerias, and hostels. **Via dei Tribunali** is the main drag for nightlife, lined with places like **Slash** and **Kestè**. During the day, it’s a maze of markets and churches; by night, it transforms into a street party. Stay here if you want to be in the thick of it.
A more upscale area near the waterfront, with cocktail bars and wine lounges. It’s quieter than the historic centre but still lively, especially around **Piazza dei Martiri**. The crowd is older, and prices are higher: cocktails cost €8–€12. A good choice if you want a break from backpacker chaos.
The port area is home to **Hostel of the Sun** and a mix of dive bars and seafood restaurants. It’s a 15-minute walk from the historic centre, so it’s quieter but still central. The nightlife here is more local: expect fewer tourists and more Neapolitans. **Via Nuova Marina** is the street to watch.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
A two-floor club in the historic centre with a mix of commercial and underground electronic music. The crowd is a blend of backpackers and locals, and it gets packed after 1am. Entry is €15, but hostels often have guest-list deals for €10 including a drink. The basement plays techno; the ground floor is all chart hits.
A rock and metal bar with live bands most nights. The crowd is rowdy but friendly, and the staff pour heavy-handed drinks. Entry is free before midnight, €5 after. It’s a five-minute walk from **Piazza Bellini**, so it’s a good warm-up spot before hitting the clubs.
The best views in Naples: Vesuvius looms in the distance while you sip €3 Aperol Spritzes. The bar opens at 6pm and gets busy by 9pm, especially on bar crawl nights. It’s a great place to meet people before heading out. Happy hour runs until 8pm.
A tiny, standing-room-only bar with €2 beers and €3 cocktails. The crowd spills onto the street, and it’s the kind of place where you’ll end up talking to strangers. It’s open until 2am, but the queue starts forming by 11pm. No cover charge.
A late-night pizzeria that fuels post-club cravings. Open until 5am, it serves €5 margheritas and €7 calzones. The place is always packed with backpackers and locals alike. It’s a 10-minute walk from **Club 278**, making it the perfect pit stop.
A 24-hour café that doubles as a nightlife hub. Locals and travellers mix over €1 espressos and €4 negronis. It’s a good spot to sober up or start your night: open all hours, always busy.
A summer-only outdoor club on the beach, 20 minutes from the city centre. Entry is €15–€20, but it includes a free drink and access to the beach area. Music ranges from house to reggaeton, and it’s packed from June to September.
