As night approaches, most of the student population heads to the Old Town. Young Nancéiens start their night with a drink at Le Pinocchio, 9 pl. Saint Epvre (tel. 03-83-35-55-95); its terrace facing the Saint Epyre church is the best place to enjoy a pint or glass of chilled wine in summer. Beer fans are camped out further along the square at Nancy’s leading bar à biere LeCh’timi, 17 Pl. Saint-Epvre (www.facebook.com/LeChtimiNancy; tel. 03-83-32-82-76), which stocks over 100 different types of hoppy delights.
Nancy’s most popular dance club is Les Caves, 9 pl. Stanislas (www.facebook.com/lescavesnancy; tel. 07-89-59-74-76), where a techno crowd flails around in a chrome-and-metallic space. It’s open Wednesday and Thursday 11:45pm to 4am and Friday and Saturday 11:45pm to 5am.
Work up a more casual sweat at Ruin Bär (www.facebook.com/ruinbarnancy; tel. 06-68-56-07-09). Inspired by the "ruin bars” of Budapest, this festive venue, decked out in street art and flea-market furnishings, attracts all ages who bust a move on the dance-floor to everything from salsa to house. It’s open Tuesday to Sunday
