Fun and entertainment Italie - Alpes italiennes et Dolomites

The Pick-Up exists since 1971 and is one of the oldest discotheques in Turin! The selection at the entrance is really drastic, the physiognomists are even sometimes unpleasant. But the place has its followers, especially if you are one of the beautiful people and you are dressed in the latest fashion. It is thus clearly a discotheque that one will frequent more to see and be seen than to have fun and dance with his band of friends. The place is nice, clean, and follows the latest trends. Good cocktails and lambda music.

Along the Po, we meet this bar featuring rock and trip-hop concerts. It turns into a café-theater.

One of Turin's most fashionable bars and restaurants, frequented by artists and writers. Indian and Italian cuisine.

Sensual and ethnic rhythms, for the hot nights…

This club has a beautiful location facing the Po River. The view, with the lights at night on the church of the Gran Madre di Dio, on the other side of the river, is just superb. The interior of the club is very tasteful and modern. Terrace when the weather is good. The prices are a bit high, but the cocktails are high quality, the staff is really pleasant and the food to nibble with the drinks is of good quality. To frequent without hesitation !

Tasting of wines and regional dishes in a relaxed atmosphere.

Inaugurated in 1994 when Renzo Piano refurbished the Lingotto, the former Fiat factory, the auditorium dedicated to Giovanni Agnelli became one of the temples of classical music in Turin. It is comfortable and its acoustics are perfect, in a beautiful mix of wood and velvet. Every year on the calendar, more than one hundred concerts and musical events of international renown attract a growing audience. The auditorium can hold nearly 2,000 people.

Friendly cafe. Wi-Fi connection.

Original, in the heart of the trendy bar district of the Quadrilatero, the Nurah Café, a Moroccan café, offers oriental flavours, with, in the late afternoon or evening, coffee, herbal tea or mint tea (delicious!) accompanied by incomparable Moroccan sweets, and why not a hookah with different aromas available when the good weather allows you to settle down outside. You can also make your aperitifs and drink cocktails there. The decoration is to the endorsement, for a warm and cosy atmosphere.

In the area of Porta Nuova station, a night-box attended by a very colourful and very excited audience who up at the rhythms of a fairly varied techno/house music.

A nightclub at the frame set in a former boat hangar along the Po. The Jam Club also offers live concerts from time to time. Between p. m. and p. m. you can dine.

If you like the ska rhythms, rock, house and wave, that's the right place. Concerts in the week.

Minimal décor, contemporary art exhibitions, a flat screen constantly connected to the avant-garde site - www.arte2000.net - This perfectly new York-style bar-restaurant has quickly become one of the most connected steps in the city.

A cosy atmosphere for this literary coffee in the San Salvario district where you come to enjoy a drink and read books and newspapers (books are on sale). A nice aperitif buffet, sometimes animated by small concerts and cultural evenings.

For its night club, Luna Blu.

With live music in the evening and come out in front of the hotel to recover.

A friendly pub and where beer is good.

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.

This café-restaurant is located near the pier of the boats that leave for the Borromean Islands. It is therefore perfectly located to wait patiently for your turn if there are many people who want to embark or just to take a break. Its terrace of about fifty seats overlooks the lake, the view is breathtaking. We would not necessarily choose this address for a bite to eat, but for a drink or an aperitivo, the atmosphere is authentic and the service quite relaxed. In the evening, you can listen to live music.

If you don't have the opportunity to stay in this historic hotel (a luxurious 4-star hotel), nothing prevents you from having a drink in its bar, a small showcase for the evening. The setting is sumptuous, all in wood and with preserved antiques. Among the rites of Cortina, it is the most practiced: one goes there for an aperitif before dinner, as Hemingway did. Inspiring, isn't it? Among the cocktails, we recommend lemon-strawberry vodka, but also Dolomiti, made with grappa and raspberry, subtle and original.

The village's unmissable café, a meeting place for the whole of Asolo, serves cocktails invented by the Venetian Cipriani (the one at Harry's Bar). All made from prosecco, they are mixed in winter with orange juice (Mimosa), in spring with strawberry juice, in summer with pink peach juice (Bellini), in autumn with grape and strawberry juice (Tiziano). The most original, the aperitivo della casa, is Tintoretto, which mixes prosecco and pomegranate juice. Some grocery products are on sale, including oil from the Asolo hills and green apple jams.

Inspired by a famous Tanger tea salon, Hafa serves traditional couscous, tajines, mint tea and Arab coffee.

A very warm wine bar where you can relax while enjoying local specialities. You can be served indoors or outdoors in the summer. Many people and a lot of atmosphere.

Located in the Borgo Dora district, Sapor di Vino has quickly won over the Piedmontese, seduced first and foremost by its summer terrace. The setting is more that of a wine bar than a restaurant, and the menu follows the changing seasons: raclette in winter, mushrooms in autumn, vitel tonné in summer... The wine list is, of course, a delight, but the traditional Piedmontese dishes are not to be outdone, succulent and hearty. An excellent trattoria to visit regularly for good times with friends!

La Drogheria cocktail bar is a must in Turin. Its setting, first of all, is both warm and elegant, designer yet accessible. Secondly, the cocktails served are truly remarkable, prepared by ultra-competent bartenders. Finally, it's possible - and recommended! - to accompany your drinks with tapas or gourmet aperitif boards, as everything you taste here is made with top-quality products.

One of the first bars to open in Sauze d'Oulx, in 1953. It's the place to be after skiing, to recharge your batteries and recover from all your efforts. Here, original aperitifs are prepared in a relaxed, lively atmosphere. DJ sets are regularly organized. The atmosphere is more akin to a British pub than an Italian-style bar, partly because it's mainly frequented by foreign tourists, and you'll mainly find burgers and chips.

In the heart of Courmayeur, along the mundane promenade, the village's historic café retains its charm. In winter, it's nice to sit in an armchair with a frothy cappuccino and crunchy biscuits by the crackling fire in the stone fireplace bearing the town's coat of arms. The interior is made up of sofas and coffee tables, a real cocooning place. The famous digestive grolla is served here, a mixture of coffee and moonshine, with orange and lemon peel, flambéed just before being drunk with friends after a good meal.

A pleasant small restaurant in the big shopping street.

Cosy, indoor and bright terrace, orange and blue, to enjoy delicious glace or lemon ice. But there are other perfumes.

One of Europe's largest gaming houses. The Saint-Vincent casino offers over 90 gaming tables and 500 slot machines in a 3,500 m² area. Every year, over a million visitors flock to the casino to play roulette, chemin de fer, blackjack, poker, thirty-forty, etc. The casino houses two bars and a restaurant, the latter open only at weekends. It also organizes sporting and cultural events. Great artists have performed here, including Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and Paolo Conte.

This small restaurant has a simple but pleasant setting and serves good homemade Italian cuisine, based on pasta, gnocchi, fish... We don't stop there for a gastronomic break, but to regain our strength, at very low prices. Fast and friendly service, without any fuss. Interior décor consisting of yellow walls, a bar, and a slot machine. When the weather is fine, we clearly prefer outdoor tables, under the arcades, which offer a delightful environment for lunch or dinner...

Here's the perfect place for party-goers, frequented for ages by all night owls in search of a warm, musical venue! A bar-restaurant and club in one, this former cowshed still retains its original architecture, where you can enjoy an aperitif with friends over a cheese platter, sip a cocktail while dancing... or even stay for polenta concia! You'll never see the hours go by... In winter, the fireplace is an added bonus, inviting you to linger and linger.

Modelled on a traditional Irish pub, the Hotel Du Col bar will welcome you even if you're not a hotel guest. In the evenings, in a wooded setting more akin to a mountain setting than a Dublin street, you can drink good draught beers (with Guinness, of course!) and play billiards or watch a match on the giant screen. Concerts by local bands are regularly organized. Also ideal in the late afternoon to warm up after a ski descent, why not with an Irish coffee?

The bar offers concerts once a week.

It is the most famous nightclub in the area, where everyone meets to party in a good-natured spirit. The years go by, but they don't have any effect on the success of the place which remains the place of reference for lively parties... Anonymous and VIPs dance on commercial or electro music. There are also many special evenings organized. The decor is in keeping with the mountain environment, with stone and wood almost everywhere... It's big but nice at the same time, an achievement !

Located opposite the school, the charming café also serves sandwiches or pastries. In addition to the small terrace, the interior is very warm and cosy. Yellow walls, tables with blue and gold tablecloths, design chairs, nice wooden bar. Ice for the small and large (famous gelati!).

The Balzer, opened in 1850, is one of the best historical coffee bars in Italy. It has the charm of the square, the arcades for shelter, the elegant classic interior, the tradition and quality of the handcrafted products. Early in the morning, you can have breakfast here and then the place comes alive with espresso at the counter. From 11:00 to 12:30 and in the evening, it's time for an aperitivo. You can eat here. In the afternoon, the place becomes perfect for an ice cream, a pastry or a sweet. Good cocktails are also available, with or without alcohol.

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.

For those who love glitter and champagne, the VIP is the most hype club in Cortina and perhaps Northern Italy. The big names in business, finance and politics meet there. And to think that when it opened in 1972, it was just a simple tavern. The atmosphere here is one of tradition and modernity, where all generations meet. Around the legendary piano, the hits of the 1980s resound, alternating with the hits of the moment, house and electro

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.
