Facebook graph venue search

I'm currently using facebook graph API and I couldn't find the perfect answer for this question. Can I search for venues with a certain category (in my case nightlife) and in a location (can be coordinates with a radius) using facebook graph?

The only thing that I could find was the search?q={query}&type=place&center={coordinates}&distance={certain_radius}. As the query I added Nightlife%20Club%20Bar, but this returns me a reduced number of results.

Thank you !

There is no way to search for a specific category, the query will only return Facebook Places with the specified words in the title/name. In other words, you can´t search for "all Bars near the location", you can only search for "all Places with -Bars- in the name".
