A hostel? Yes, a hostel! With bedrooms, lockers, and everything you need to spend a few days in town, but why would a local write about Tasso Hostel? Because it's not a classic hotel. They host live music Fridays in their beautiful theatre (usually 22:30) with an amazing aperitivo at 20:00. You can have a good drink, and keep chatting with your friends until the music starts!
For those of you that have a poetic spirit and maybe find it hard to express it in a foreign language, you can give the Open-Mic Night a try, it is every Wednesday of the month. You can express yourself not only with words but with food as well; bring something to share with the other writers/poets, food is better when it's eaten with someone else!
Here, once again, you'll need a membership card to enter, but it's worth spending those € 5 to attend concerts here. The place is lively and the atmosphere is friendly! Conga, Mambo, Blues, Rock, electronic music, keep an eye on the website and choose the one for you.
