The Springfield Nightlife Map

By SGF After Dark Editorial DeskPublished Last reviewed Methodology

This map is organised by district rather than by coordinate. We did not have access to a verified coordinate source for these venues, and we would rather group them accurately by their verified street addresses than place pins we cannot stand behind. Every venue below links to directions built from its verified address.

How to read this map

Venues are grouped into five districts derived directly from their verified street addresses: the downtown core, Commercial Street, the South Avenue corridor, south Springfield and west Springfield.

The downtown core and the South Avenue corridor are walkable from one another. The other three districts require transport.

Each venue links to directions. Those links are built from the venue's verified address rather than from a stored coordinate.
