Jan 3, 2021 · Evening/night time activities tend to be things like going to dinner, a movie, a play, a bar, a club, etc. See the McMillian definition: an evening when you go out to a cinema, theatre, party etc; In summary, some major differences: The type of activity (going to the beach on a day out vs. going to a play on a night out)

@JoseK: There's nothing wrong with saying that - the "night out" usually implies some sort of socialising, so there's no need to have it twice - but the "in town" bit just specifies a location. Both phrases (in/on) mean roughly the same thing, but on the town has a stronger connotation of partying/boozing, whereas in town sounds slightly ...

Mar 11, 2008 · Like ewie, I don't think there's anything new about "a night out". To me, "in the evening" sounds much more like a reference to the time of day: we go out in the evening, we come back at night.

I'm going out in the night for a walk. This makes one think they are going out anytime between 8pm and 6am.

Mar 22, 2018 · At night (as opposed to during the day) is a fairly general term that can mean any time from early evening onwards. In the night is less common and tends to imply reference to a specific time during the night when something unusual happens. The buses run at 15-minute intervals during the day but only once an hour at night.

"The tiger hunts by night" sounds more dramatic than "The tiger hunts at night." Consider the title of the following film: They Drive by Night, which is a hyped-up way of presenting a movie about truck drivers who are trying to survive in their tough world. Had the film been called "They Drive at Night" it would have sounded pretty ho-hum.

On the other hand, a "sausage fest" incidentally has primarily guys, for example, "the comp sci department is a total sausage fest". Though to your credit, OP didn't give an example sentence, and I've ...
