Kinki, via Zamboni 1, T 051-268935. Designer kitsch and fusion funk and house for gay and beautiful straight people. Mirrors and vinyl décor under the Two Towers. One of the places, especially in spring. Corto Maltese, via del Borgo di San Pietro 9, T 051-229746. Daily until 0400. Disco pub with a little something for everyone. Sam's happy hour goes from 1930-2100 with Milanese-style apperitivi in the form of huge free plates of pasta. The back room starts pumping up the volume at around 2200, and a mixed crowd of students and young professionals come to drink cocktails, play pool and dance the night away. Soda Pops, via Castel Tialto 6, T 051-272 079. Off via San Vitale. Funky dungeonesque bar/club by the Two Towers with free entrance until late. Popular with students for its super- strength cocktails, the music has lately veered towards US rap. Jam Club, via Mascarella, 2a, T 051-221003. Much less of a student hang-out with Monday-night-is- rock-night for an over 25 crowd. Generally women get in free before 0100, and the men have to pay all night. With a small restaurant catering for midnight munchies, this is also one of the few clubs that sells cigarettes. Zoom, via Mascarella 60, T 051-241963. Tiny mixed gay/straight bar with occasional live music, and 'park' nights, where the bar is transformed with turf, branches, flowers and starlight into an indoor-outdoor kind of thing. Different. Southeast: Santo Stefano and around Baraccano, viale Gozzadini, (opposite the Giardini Margherita) T 051-301211. Open Jun-Sep. Two or three stages provide the venue for bands and entertainers in this private park, with tables and chairs spread out under the huge old pine trees and two bars. Ex Porto di Mare, via Sampieri 3, T 051-224256. Closed Mon. Behind the Due Torri. Live bands at weekends and Greek food in basement. Blade Runner, via S. Isaia 57d. Closed Tue. Discobar with downstairs dancefloor. Favourite with trendy locals.
