Arcate 10 e 12, Murazzi del Po 10-12. Open summer only, 1900-0200. A spacious and lively bar in prime riverside location spanning two sets of former boathouse arches. The Beach, Murazzi del Po, 18-20-22. Open 2000-0300. Ambitiously named but a nice mellow chill-out bar with plenty of tables by the riverside in summer. Bockaos, Murazzi del Po 2. Open 2000-0300. Newly installed next to its more illustrious neighbour Doctor Sax, worth popping in on during the Murazzi club crawl. Doctor Sax, Murazzi del Po 4. Open 2000-0400. The longest standing and still the best of the former boathouse clubs in the Murazzi, a perennial favourite with Turins immigrant population and therefore serious about its reggae and African vibes. Great decor with the chassis and seats of an old tram lining the interconnecting corridor. Live music during the week and occasional stripteases. LHennessey, strada Traforo del Pino 23, T 011 8998522. Open 2200-0400. Of Turins traditional disco-type nightclubs, this is the best with a smooth clientele of beautiful people grooving to the latest tunes that are more Ibiza than Italian old skool. Pier 7-9-11, Murazzi del Po. Open 2000-0300. One of the clubs in the Murazzi with a more elegant decor and clientele. Frenetic dancing outside when the weathers right. Alcatraz, Murazzi del Po 37/41, T 0349 8053516. Open 2130-0300. The bare walls and dungeon feel surely evoke the infamous prison in this, one of Turins most popular bar/clubs. Aqua, Murazzi del Po 31/33. Open 2000-0200. Water by name and location, a good club but essentially indistinguishable from the nearby riverside haunts. Arcata 35, Murazzi del Po 35. Open summer only, 1900-0100. Literally arch number 35 in this long chain of bar/clubs sharing the same atmospheric architecture.
