Italian to English Art/Literary Architecture

I am often struggling with this apparently simple Italian term.

Now I have this sentence: "L’interesse intorno al quartiere si fa sempre più vivo e si susseguono le aperture di nuovi locali e gallerie."
From the context it is not clear what kind of locali it refers to. It could be clubs, but it could also be eateries and coffee shops.
What would be a generic and fitting term in English for this?
I have already considered "premises", but I am not convinced, because it seems to me that premises indicates the physical space while locali points to the function of a place.

My non-final translation goes like this: The neighborhood is attracting increasingly more interest, and new _______ and galleries are opening/being opened every day.

I am looking forward to your suggestions.
