As a side-question, is the concept of a "night-life" where various businesses (clubs, bars, etc.) are primarily open in the night a fairly new concept brought about by the discovery of electricity (and therefore electric ligthing), or have cultures in the past also had businesses (bars, taverns, etc.) that were open primarily in the middle of the night?

u/thucydideswasawesome Seeing this didn't get answered in quite some time, is okay to post this question again? Has it been answered in any way before somewhere?
