Coconuts Discotheque Rimini

The weekend is coming and you are probably wondering what to do this Saturday night. Despite the fact that summer is gone , and Rimini is “heartless”, there is still much action going on. You should try spending a night in this club , designed for a young , classy crowd as the owners describe it.

Your first impression will probably be that despite the expensive interior surrounded by comfy lounge seating , dancing platforms and scattered bars , the club is a little too crowded . You can avoid this by coming earlier at the street bar , which opens at 8pm. The real party will not start earlier than 1 am though. On each night you can enjoy different types of music, for example Sunday is for pop music, whereas Wednesday, Friday and Saturday have live house music.

If you are not a fan of the buzzy nightlife, Coconuts Club also hosts an Aperitivo buffet everyday at 6pm. The price for the drinks are between 4 and 8 euro.
