late-night scene

Nocturnal social setting

The late-night scene encompasses the social world that emerges after conventional hours—bars, clubs, diners, and other venues where people gather between roughly 10 p.m. and dawn.

The city has a thriving late-night scene.

It implies a particular culture: music, drinking, spontaneous encounters, and a looser social atmosphere than daytime life permits.
