San Salvario bars for groups: where to go out at night in Turin
Spritz, cocktails, beer pong and darts: a guide to San Salvario bars for anyone going out as a group.
San Salvario is the Turin neighbourhood where people go out at night. It lies between Porta Nuova station and Parco del Valentino, has a concentration of bars and venues few other districts can match and, above all, lets you walk from one venue to the next in a few minutes.
For a group that's a huge advantage: no taxis to coordinate, no night buses to wait for. This guide explains how to get around the neighbourhood with a large group and which partner venues GoCicero routes pass through.
How the neighbourhood is laid out
The heart of San Salvario's nightlife is a grid of a few parallel streets: Via Saluzzo, Via Baretti, Via Belfiore, Via Sant'Anselmo, Via Madama Cristina, with Largo Saluzzo and Piazza Madama Cristina as meeting points. Within a few blocks you'll find aperitivo bars, cocktail bars, venues with bar games and places for a quick bite.
The neighbourhood also has a lesser-known side: late nineteenth-century buildings, places of worship of different faiths a few steps from one another and corners that people who only come at night often miss. It's one of the reasons we like it as a playing field.
Going out as a group: what to keep in mind
- Let the venues know. A group of ten or more turning up unannounced on a weekend night risks not finding room.
- Plan a route, not a single venue. With a big group it's hard to stay in the same place all night: better to plan two or three stops close together.
- Choose venues that differ. One for aperitivo, one for cocktails, one with games: the change of atmosphere keeps the night alive.
- Respect the neighbourhood. San Salvario is also a residential area: moving between venues without too much noise helps everyone.

Aperitivo, cocktails or games: how to choose
For a group that wants to chat and get to know each other, aperitivo is the ideal starting point: you eat something, raise a glass and the night begins without rushing. For a group looking for energy, a venue with beer pong, darts or table football breaks the ice better than any introduction. Cocktail bars with a more distinctive atmosphere, tropical or Latin, are perfect as a mid-evening stop, once the group has found its rhythm.
A bar tour with a story to solve
If you want a tour of several venues without having to decide everything yourselves, GoCicero turns it into a game: a trail of puzzles across three or four San Salvario partner venues, chosen to suit the group, with team challenges between stops and a finale. The drinks at the venues are already included in the route you build in the app, so there's nothing to book separately.
