Where is the "bar area" in Florence?

Accepted answer

The main bar area is along Via de' Benci / Via Giuseppe Verdi, and some of the side streets. There are lots of different kinds of bars and some clubs there, starting from near the bridge (Ponte alle Grazie) until Via Pietrapiana, maybe 500 m north.

See the map, just like the hostel guy drew it:

It was quite busy, although I'd expect it to be really busy in summer.

There may be "lesser" bar areas too, e.g. across the river around piazza San Spirito (also marked on the map). And someone mentioned that some (fancier?) nightclubs are located quite far in the suburbs, a taxi ride away. I didn't try those. Also, there's a rather good Irish pub on piazza S. Maria Novella, closer to the central station.
