As part of a good afternoon and out, the barriers between cafés, bars, restaurants, and music venues often blend, since bars, much more so than clubs, are the great centers of entertainment around town. Many bars in Pisa, like much of Italy, offer an aperitivo buffet. At aperitivo time, either for an extra charge or as part of the regular price of a drink, you get a bit of food on the side. Whenever in doubt just politely ask what the deal is. The aperitivo is a fun way to get your night going and once you have, there are lots of options for the sort of bar that will suit your taste.
