3 reviewed party hostels · from €18.95/night · verified ratings
Rimini’s nightlife runs on two things: sand and shots. The action spills along the beachfront promenade, especially near **Via Lungomare Claudio Tintori**, where hostel bars and open-air clubs keep the music going until sunrise. **Sunflower Beach Backpacker Hostel & Bar** sits right in the thick of it, its own bar pumping out cheap Aperol spritz and pints of Peroni from 6 pm. The hostel’s party concierge sells tickets to the pub crawl that hits three bars and a club, throws in a free T-shirt, and organises transport so you don’t have to navigate the night alone. Most backpackers end up here at least once: it’s the default hub for anyone travelling solo and looking to meet others.

Rimini’s nightlife runs on two things: sand and shots. Sunflower Beach Backpacker Hostel & Bar is in Bellariva, which puts it at the start of that circuit. Sunflower Beach Backpacker Hostel & Bar on Via Lungomare Claudio Tintori 6, Bellariva. The hostel’s own bar is where most nights start. Old England Pub on Via dei Mille 33 is the fallback option if the first place is packed. At €19 a night and rated 9.1. At 9.1, it's near the top of Rimini's hostel field without being the standout leader.
Hostel with fresh, young & fun atmosphere. It has a lively Rooftop bar that serves cheap drinks and organise regular barbecues, parties and events and is perfect for meeting other travellers. You can also join one of their Pub&Disco crawl, and you get also many discounts to discos, aquapark, sea sports, restaurants and pubs at the beach and in town.
Sunflower City Backpacker Hostel runs a pub and disco crawl three times a week through the Rimini nightlife circuit, with discounted club tickets on other nights. At €19 a night and rated 8.6, it's a solid mid-range choice for a city where the party largely runs along the beachfront promenade near Via Lungomare Claudio Tintori. The on-site bar runs daily happy hour, the Sunflower Beach hostel nearby is the main reference point for Rimini backpackers, and both operate in the same part of the city. Worth knowing before booking: Rimini is a seasonal destination, and the nightlife scene is significantly thinner outside the summer months.
Pre-booked private transfers and shared shuttles. No queues, no surprises.
How Rimini's nightlife zones break down
The beachfront strip where Sunflower Hostel sits. Lined with hostel bars, gelato shops, and beach clubs, it’s the epicentre of backpacker nightlife. By day, it’s all sunbeds and volleyball; by night, the promenade becomes a free outdoor party. **Via Lungomare Claudio Tintori** is the main drag, with most venues within a 10-minute walk.
Just north of Bellariva, Marina Centro is where the upmarket hotels and lidos sit. The nightlife here is pricier: cocktail bars and seafood restaurants: but it’s also home to **Pascià**, Rimini’s biggest club. The area is quieter during the day, with a long stretch of sandy beach perfect for escaping the backpacker crowds.
A 15-minute walk inland from the beach, this neighbourhood feels more local. Small trattorias serve handmade pasta for €8, and the piazzas fill with families during the day. At night, the area quiets down, but **Altromondo Studios** draws a crowd looking for underground electronic music. Stay here if you want to mix partying with a taste of authentic Rimini.
Bars, clubs and live music in Rimini
A 54-year-old British pub on **Via dei Mille** that serves the best hot dogs in Rimini: topped with crispy onions and mustard for €4.50. They pour proper pints of Guinness and Newcastle Brown, which you won’t find in most Italian bars. Live football on the screens, darts in the back, and a crowd that’s half expats, half locals. Gets packed on match nights and before the pub crawl sets off.
A 10-minute walk north of Sunflower, Coconuts is the go-to for daytime parties. Sunbeds cost €15 (includes a drink), but the real action starts at 5 pm when the DJ kicks off. Expect house and commercial hits, foam parties on Thursdays, and a crowd that’s mostly 20-somethings. Entry is free before midnight, €10 after. Drinks are €8–10, but happy hour (5–7 pm) knocks them down to €5.
Rimini’s biggest club, 15 minutes by taxi from the city centre. Three floors: commercial on the ground, R&B in the basement, and techno on the roof terrace. Entry is €15–20 (includes one drink), but hostel guests can sometimes blag guest-list spots through Sunflower. Dress sharp: bouncers turn away flip-flops and vests. Opens at midnight, peaks at 2 am, and runs until 5 am.
A smaller, more underground club near the train station. Plays techno, drum & bass, and house, with local and international DJs. Entry is €10–15, drinks €7. The crowd is older (25+) and less rowdy than Pascià. Opens at 11 pm, but the best sets start after 1 am. Check their Instagram for theme nights: often LGBTQ+ friendly or vinyl-only.
A 20-minute bus ride south in Gabicce Mare, this open-air club is worth the trip for its over-the-top Roman-gladiator decor and massive dance floor. Plays commercial and EDM, with foam parties and confetti cannons most nights. Entry is €20–25 (includes one drink), but Sunflower sometimes organises group transport for €10 return. Runs 11 pm–5 am, peaks at 3 am.
