Fun and entertainment Milan

A friendly, welcoming café that has become one of the Isola district's iconic addresses over the years. While the interior is very pleasant, with its colorful little tables, it's outside that the action takes place. In the lovely shaded courtyard, two vast spaces under an arbour are the ideal place to start or end a good evening. In the kitchen, simple, tasty dishes are served, as well as boards for nibbling at aperitif time and sandwiches. A lovely address to discover.

A tiny, almost impossible coffee-concert, attended by a crowd of fans who defy the dense smoke that you breathe to listen to excellent rock-blues musicians, especially on Monday evening, with jam-sessions memorable.

An atmosphere that has something very familiar to the Parisian bistros. Good quality cuisine at attractive prices (Tuesday and Thursday, fish) and jazz concerts, classic or contemporary. Sunday, a Sunday brunch in the neighbourhood.

A former wine merchant converted into oenothèque. We drink excellent Italian wines but also a lot of French (the owner is very fair-play), and we eat plates of cheese or cold meats.

Set in the Triennale Palace, this disco bar is an historic place in the trendy Milan. Very varied evenings adapted to all tastes, drink à la Milanese and Sunday brunch.

A 1930 s hangar on two floors. The temple of electro-music, but also hip hop, house, alternative rock. Some of them have gone through: Morceeba, Laurent Garnier, Dorfmeister… A unique reality that combines music and culture.

Wild bartenders, wild customers and wild music. You'll have to try it once to appreciate (or not) the slightly off-limits atmosphere of this bar, where the tables are not for glasses but for feet. If you don't want to lose your cool, we advise you to reserve a table. The Loolapaloosa has been well known in Milan for over 30 years for its parties. Each day has its own speciality: reggaeton, vintage... In short, an effervescent night spot, open every night, that will appeal to clubbers of all stripes.

A legendary cinema in the Tortona district. Cinema Mexico offers a cutting-edge and interesting program of independent films, many in their original version. Ideal for discovering new cinematic nuggets. But what really sets this cinema apart is the screening, every Friday night since 1981, of the same film that has become an interactive show: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, starring Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon. A cult screening that sells out every week. Recommended for all film buffs!

A disco bar frequented by a very connected audience. From 19 h, hot drink based on lap-dance. The evening continues with performances of striptease. The atmosphere is hot!

Attendance years 1970 for this classic bistro, with something Parisian. Cocktails, toast and quiches will be served on small white marble tables with a good choice of wine. For a relaxing evening, but good atmosphere.

A few steps from Scala, the Verdi caffé is a meeting place for musicians and artists from the famous opera. The owners have turned it into coffee-bookstall, where the old books and the posters are there to be consulted and be sold, while the mezzanine will welcome you to eat delicious oak or drink a little glass.

A tiny coffee with some very well-treated tables. Many couples and an excellent atmosphere away from the happy Milanese hours. From Thursday to Saturday, contemporary literature meets in this café, which welcomes poets and writers of all nationalities. Jazz music.

One of Milan's most chic and exclusive cafés, opened in 1817. A favorite meeting place for the Milanese and Italian intelligentsia of the Risorgimento (Mazzini and Garibaldi were among its famous customers), it was here in 1848 that Milan's bourgeois revolutionaries organized the "Five Days of Milan" revolts against the Austrians, a participation rewarded in 1868 when coins were minted at its sign. Destroyed during the Second World War, Cova was rebuilt in 1950 and moved to via Montenapoleone.

A really nice bistro on the via Torino and a mandatory stage between two shops, for breakfast, for coffee in the day or for eating delicious delicious salads, pasta dishes or any type of panini. Nidou and André, the irresistible francophones who manage this coffee, will share the news of the week and the good pipes. Dining room on the floor.

A new address opened in December 2007. The Botega is the kingdom of chocolate, more specifically cocoa from Brazil, the only one that has its entrance here. Chef Girlardo Simone will prepare his specialty, the pulentino, a crunchy flux cream and Giaduia cream (chocolate). Other surprises might tempt you like the strawberry latte. More traditional drinks and pastries remain on the map.

Opened in 1933, this bar has always been a favorite of artists and designers, who love its famous cocktails, some of which are pieces of history, such as the Mangia e bevi (eat and drink, made with ice, fruit and liqueur) and the Negroni sbagliato (fake Negroni). This iconic Milan cocktail was born in this bar in 1972, when the bartender mistakenly poured spumante (sparkling wine) instead of gin into what was supposed to be a classic Negroni. Today, the Bar Basso menu features over 500 cocktails.

Very elegant ladies and gentlemen come here to dance, but also to get to know each other. Great dance trail, orchestra, varied music for all tastes and cocktails very, very expensive!

This is the Discothèque restaurant-restaurant. Concerts and several tracks at the edge of the swimming pools. Good rock music and perpetual salsa and cha.

A dancing attended by a sometimes eccentric audience. Dance competitions guinguette style.

Two floors decorated in a simple but enriched way by exhibitions of young artists. A restaurant, a gallery, a jazz club… and so on. The location adapts to the trends of the moment and seasons. The idea is to offer the public the widest possible choice with, of course, the risk of turning into a supermarket of evenings. Attended by yuppies and some designers. To report, the evenings on Wednesday with jazz jazz concerts.

A place decorated in a very eccentric way. From time to time, with international music stars, this bar, illuminated by an original combination of candles and kitsch lamps, offers a happy hour at the anniversary evening. From 22 pm, take the place and try to dance!

If you think you find cats with seven tails, you are mistaken because the atmosphere is rather chic and the tacheté minimalist decor, however, is red cardinal. Attended by all Milan, the divine marquis hosts the best known Djs in the national and international market.

A small, well-managed space with a dark ambience and a minimal décor. German electronic music (concerts) and videos projected on all free corners. To meet interesting people.

A very British pub-pub where you can devote yourself to reading the books of the Manche. It regularly organizes book presentations.

It is the ideal place for nature lovers: a bar-restaurant-pizzeria drowned in the green. You can even buy plants.

A very popular meeting point for aperitifs on the Navigli, especially by a clientele of young and trendy artists and young fashion and design professionals. The basic, but not unpleasant decoration is reminiscent of an American bar, complete with a large counter and a few tables. In the summer, a pleasant terrace is laid out on the pavement. Its strong point? The cocktails (especially the mojito), because it must be admitted, the happy hour buffet takes a back seat and is limited to the classic pizzette and focaccia and a few cold cuts.

A club dedicated to women. Restaurant.

The guests of this bar prefer to stay out of the way. It's because more than abundant breakfast buffet is well known in the city. Beautiful view of the Parco Sempione.

Meeting place, with debates, theme nights, cinema sessions and shows.

Another large refurbished hangar. Drink very fashion and disco bar from 23 h with a lot of electronic music. Exhibitions and various events in the program.

A nightclub with a historic past that is now enjoying a new lease on life. Recently renovated, the mythical club of the 1990s, a few steps from Corso Como, is reborn following the avant-garde project of some of the greatest designers of the Milanese scene. A reminder of the 1970s with bubbles and circles drawn on the walls in warm tones. On two levels you can choose between the Shock, with its more relaxed bar atmosphere, and the more exclusive King.

In this oenothèque-bistro we breathe an informal and elegant atmosphere typical Milanese. With a relaxing music, you can enjoy traditional or more refined Italian cuisine, accompanied by a fine wine from the cellar with over 300 different wines.

Association that organizes many events and evenings. The historic disco-bar is reserved for women except on Wednesday and Friday.

The very exotic atmosphere, largely green (everything is green, in a kind of hymn to nature), the wild jungle atmosphere, the colourful lighting ensure the success of the Yguana. For a Milanese aperitivo in a young and lively atmosphere, especially at the weekend. The main attraction is the well-stocked happy hour buffet with hot and cold dishes(pizzette, lasagne, salads). Not bad the cocktails to share, served in huge pints and to be drunk in groups with the help of long multicoloured straws ...

Since the 1960 s, the success of this Irish pub has failed. A forced passage of students loving beer and fine conversations and old Milan residents, it offers a wide choice of beers and excellent panini. The staff were friendly and helpful. At noon, homemade kitchen with a lot of grilled meat.

The Teatro Degli Arcimboldi was born as an annex to the Teatro della Scala. Located in Milan's northern suburbs, on the site of a former Pirelli factory in the Bicocca district, this technically advanced theater houses Italy's largest stage, and offers a very high level of comfort with its 2,400 seats and 49 m width. As a result, it is able to welcome large audiences who come for its top-quality shows. Music, dance, theater and visual arts all feature in the rich program, emblematic of Milan's cultural dynamism.

Milan's largest nightclub (2,000 admissions per night), which has become one of the most popular and popular too, since 1998. Originally used for sponsored parties, fashion shows and concerts, the place was later converted into a huge nightclub. The musical variety is one of the best in the city, with samples ranging from big commercial hits to pop house and reggae. The Friday night of the 80's and the Saturday night of rock music, often preceded by live concerts. Rather young audience.

Located in the shadow of the Velasca Tower, this disco-bar attracts more or less connected youth battalions. In the 1980 s, it was the favorite box of paninari, these young Milanese griffes and American fast food. The entrance is free in the week but, on weekends, the selection is hard and the fee is paid. Music is house/commercial. Tuesday, Latin American. Sunday, hip-hop. On Monday, many couples.

Very colourful and fresh bar. Its pergola, which overlooks Naviglio della Martesana, becomes a calm and pleasant terrace. Located near Isola's district, this bar is far from the usual circuits of the Milan-famous London night owls. Every evening, a DJ mixing good music trends. On Saturday and Sunday, the generous happy hour is eagerly awaited by the regulars.

In summer, in its beautiful interior garden, a very varied buffet is served. Many French people from Milan know this place and appreciate the atmosphere.

Set up in a former bicycle spare parts shop, this very design bar is a reference for those looking for a neat and relaxing place that's fun and trendy at the same time. In fact, this address has held its own since 1998. Contemporary works of art surround you in the dining room, and a bicycle hangs over your head as you sip a cocktail accompanied by tempting appetizers such as fish croquettes, vegetable crisps and chickpea hummus. The burgers are remarkable. Sunday brunch.

A refined cocktail bar on the second floor of the Replay boutique, overlooking Piazza Gae Aulenti. From its curious porthole windows you can see the most futuristic square in Milan, with its fountain and skyscraper perimeter. Its décor is reminiscent of a 20th century transatlantic crossing: shiny wooden walls, copper and subdued lighting. To be discovered, as well as its cocktails, where the art of mixology is at its peak. They are served with elegant appetizers from the kitchen of the neighbouring gastronomic restaurant The Stage.

In the shade of La Scala, a modern bistro with a hanging garden that covers a design canopy with a waterfall effect on the tables below. The French botanist Patrick Blanc is the author of this fashion ensemble, a branch of the neighbouring shop. On the menu: dishes that appeal to fans of Italian cuisine, such as Piedmont beef tartar or bucatini cacio e pepe (large hollow spaghetti with a cheese and pepper sauce) are not bad at all. Enjoyable tiramisu. Upstairs, gastronomic restaurant of the same name.

An oasis of peace in the centre of Milan. Far from the chaos of the street, a succession of four small cloisters invites you to relax. Ancient dependencies of Santa Maria della Pace Renaissance convent, take a drink here is something divine. 

Opened in 1936, Sant'Ambroeus quickly established itself as one of Milan's most chic and refined patisseries. Although named after Ambrogio, the famous Milanese bishop and patron saint of the city, its tarts and mignardises are often inspired by French recipes. However, it's a great place for breakfast, with its cornetti and irresistible panettone, served with whipped cream. For lunch or dinner, the elegant wood-panelled dining room is illuminated by imposing Murano glass floor lamps.

Kitchen is much more than a kitchen utensils shop, it is a real store where you can find the most whimsical instruments for the most curious recipes, from sushi to cheese fondue. But above all it is a fantastic workshop where risotto, fish and chocolate desserts will have no more secrets for you. The cooking classes change according to the season, from Thai cuisine to fish menus, biscuits, creams and velveties, etc. Another way to approach the Italian and Milanese cultural heritage!

American bar, famous for its barmen in really very «American» hand. Very good cocktails and tex-mex kitchen. Brunch with scrambled and pancake eggs Sunday. We're thinking of Chicago!
