Tehran Nights and Coffee Shops

Nightlife in a Restricted City

Tehran nightlife remains limited compared to many global cities.

As a result, cafes became one of the most important nighttime social spaces.

At night, cafes fill with:

• Students
• Couples
• Artists
• Musicians
• Freelancers
• Friends escaping loneliness

The warm light of cafes contrasts sharply with the emotional heaviness outside.
