Davis can be strange and eerie at night. When murders of black crows fly overhead, thieves scurry about, and unless the fog rolls in, you can see stars. It can feel like Davis is the setting for a scary movie. Some people refer to night time as "dark time."

Once night comes along, the little bugs come out.

You run into these little critters scuttling all over Campus at night, as well as some spots Downtown. As evening falls, you may be in search of entertainment (especially in the summer when evening brings a drop in temperature) or somewhere that's still open to grab a bite to eat. This page is a place to assemble information about things that happen and things to do during night time, and, really, anything else related to the night. Most businesses in Davis close fairly early, so, whether you’re in dire need of caffeine while pulling an all-nighter for tomorrow’s exam, meandering around after last call, or simply bored out of your gourd, it's important that we all know what's open late and what our options are!
