Teatro Posillipo

Teatro Posillipo is a long-running club and event venue at Via Posillipo 66 on the coast road of the Posillipo hill, the upmarket residential area on the western edge of Naples in Italy's Campania region. Posillipo is known for its sea views, villas and quiet streets, and the venue is aimed at a smart-dressed crowd. The audience is mostly adults in their twenties to forties, with a polished look; sportswear and very casual clothing can be turned away at the door, so smart-casual or better is the sensible choice. The atmosphere is that of a dressy, dance-led night with a mix of local regulars and visitors who prefer a more upscale evening than the old-town bars. Music depends on the event, and the programme typically includes DJ sets and themed nights. The drinks programme covers cocktails, spirits, wine and beer, and bottle service may be offered for groups, though the specifics should be confirmed with the venue. Entry is event-dependent, at about €15–€30 (~$17.25–$34.50) with a drink reported, and prices are higher than in most Naples nightlife venues. Opening hours are for event nights, typically Friday and Saturday after about 11PM, and visitors should check before going since the schedule is not fixed. Table reservations are advisable for groups, and joining a guest list or booking a table is the usual way to ease entry on busy nights. The main crowd arrives after midnight, so early arrivals find the room quiet. Because Posillipo is away from the centre and public transport is limited late at night, the venue is best reached by taxi, and arranging the return ride in advance is recommended. The coast road is winding, so visitors should avoid driving after drinking and plan the return before the night begins.
