Coffee in Tehran, in the Shadow of Collapse

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.
