Travel Guide Part XIII: Nightlife

The nightlife in Florence... there is so much to say on this topic. I'm not really going to go into all the details I could, but I will give a breif description that touches on some of the basics. If you want to know more- ask.
Having said that, you can go out and go clubbing. Bars in Florence are pretty much catered to American college students, Italians do drink, just not in the way Americans do. Italians will drink wine and after-dinner drinks for the most part, they will have some beer, not a lot of it. You will rarely see an Italian drunk in public. That is a very American thing to do.
There are a lot of bars and clubs in Florence that you can find. I’m not gonna say a whole lot on this site about the specifics of each one, you can figure that one out for yourself and see which places you like. All the bar tenders will speak English, so don’t worry about that.
As for the times when we go out as a group, we have to watch out for eachother and that there will be a “no man left behind” policy whenever we go out. No one walks back to the villa alone, especially the girls or people obviously drunk. There will always be people willing to walk back with you, so take advantage of that and don’t do anything stupid.
Do what you must as far as the nightlife goes. For those people that don't drink- you can go out and go dancing or just take walks around the city. Just be smart, watch your friend's backs and do not do anything stupid.
