The 8 Best Things to do at Night in Milan

By Chris Boyle

armani / privÉ

Milan is a city where fashion is paramount, knowing where to go at night is almost as important as knowing where to shop.

We have therefore selected the city’s coolest bars, where the well-heeled of Milan sip their aperitifs, and the night clubs that attract the ‘it’ crowd. Milan is also a city rich in the history of opera and performance where a trip to one of the famous theaters is an unforgettable experience.

LOTVS

LOTVS

This sophisticated venue changes throughout the day.

The stylish restaurant serves an elegant fourcourse Italian menu, but after 11pm, Lotvs starts its ‘After Dinner’ bar where famous disc jockeys play tunes to a classy crowd sipping cocktails in the art deco lounge. This multi-purpose club, with its high quality service and chic interior, makes Lotvs an ideal destination for an appetizer, dinner, after dinner drinks or a late-night dance. Any area of Lotvs can be hired for private events accompanied by the club’s trained staff.

IL BAR AT BULGARI HOTEL

II BAR AT BULGARI HOTEL

An ideal bar for those seeking peace and exclusivity that leads onto the Bulgari Hotel’s stunning private garden.

Il Bar is sleek and modern on the inside and separated from the bright garden by huge floorto- ceiling windows, so this spectacular exterior dominates the room. As a result of the view, the chic black oval bar and the unique cocktails, Il Bar is often frequented by Milan’s fashionable crowd. The restaurant menu is also available here for those wanting to merge cocktails into dinner.

JUST CAVALLI RESTAURANT & CLUB

JUST CAVALLI RESTAURANT & CLUB_

This futuristic space located inside the Torre Branca tower in the Parco Sempione is the brainchild of the eclectic designer Roberto Cavalli.

The restaurant and bar are excellent places to spot celebrities and Milan’s fashion set lounging on zebraprint sofas. The décor is like none other, reflecting Roberto Cavalli’s extravagance: the restaurant is at the center of a vast raised steel structure.

IL GATTOPARDO CAFÉ

Days could be spent exploring Milan’s historic churches, but none in quite the same way as Gattopardo.

This beautiful church has been revamped into a bar, a disco or a venue for a party of your own. The restoration has preserved much of the originality: a vast crystal chandelier hovers above a dance floor that can double as a dining room seating up to 350 people or a theater accommodating 120 guests. For most of the week, however, Il Gattopardo Café is a nightclub attracting many of Milan’s party goers.
