nightlife district

After-dark gathering area

A nightlife district is an urban area concentrated with bars, clubs, restaurants, and entertainment venues that draw crowds after dark.

Cities often have recognized nightlife districts—Times Square, the French Quarter, Shibuya—where the action runs late into the night.

We grabbed dinner in the nightlife district before hitting the clubs.
