Established club and live-music venue on Via Candelai, a lane of bars, with DJ nights, concerts and events.
Candelai is a club and live-music venue on Via Candelai, a short nightlife lane near Via Maqueda and Quattro Canti in Palermo, Sicily. It is one of the better-known late-night venues in the historic centre, with DJ sets, concerts and themed nights, and its crowd is mixed in age with many students. Via Candelai itself holds several small bars, which makes it easy to move between venues.
Doors typically open late, around 11PM, and the busiest nights are Friday and Saturday. Entry fees vary by event, and drinks are priced at typical club levels. Smart casual dress is usual and ID is checked. The programme changes, so checking the current schedule before going is sensible. The lane is close to Via Maqueda and the Capo area, and taxis are the best choice for late returns.
