Milan has many different types of pubs and bars, catering for every taste. These range from chic Italian cocktail bars, to typical English pubs and even further to novelty and themed bars. There are also many watering holes in Milan that are not just places to have a drink, but which offer a whole unique entertainment experience as well, which you will be keen to discover!
The well hidden, yet well-known Bar Basso, situated on Via Plinio, in the Buenos Aires area, has been at the height of Milan's cocktail scene since 1947. The bar is famous in local history for its creation 35 years ago of the Mangia e bevi cocktail and the Negroni sbagliato cocktail. The building has two rooms, one wood-panelled to create a peasant, country-feel, and the other decked out in a 19th century sophisticated style.
For an unusual drinking experience, but surely one you will never forget, try out the Dolce & Gabana Martini Bar. This bar can be found in the courtyard at the rear of the menswear store on Corso Venezia. Here you can sit back and enjoy a refreshing martini, in the sumptuous black and red surroundings, whilst surveying the interesting clientele made up of Milan's poseurs and supermodels. This bar is also the haunt of many famous visitors to Milan, including Kate Moss, Naomi Campell and whilst he was living in the city, David Beckham. It has fast become the latest hotspot in Milan, and is incredibly popular with the young and fashionable set.

Be a part of the trendy, yuppie crowd and head to Le Biciclette on Via Torti, to enjoy a happy hour that lasts until 10pm! An added unusual feature of this bar is the various exhibitions that change monthly, which creates a unique dimension to your drinking experience. Add to this the pumping music which flows throughout the venue, and you've got a thoroughly enjoyable evening out!
For those who prefer an intimate atmosphere, El Brellin is a quiet piano bar by the side of a canal off Alzaia Naviglio Grande. For a more unusual drinking experience, punters should head to Birreria La Fontanella, on Alzaia Naviglio Pavese, where the drinks are served in glasses shaped like a half a barbell!
If you are missing your normal British beverage, drop into The Dickens Inn on Viale Pasubio, for a combined treat of beer and English Literature on tap. This is only one of the many English and Irish pubs to be found in Milan, but there are many more offering a traditional cosy, ex-pat atmosphere, such as King's Pub on Via Magolfa, and Mac Duff's Pub on Via Volta.
For a chic drinking experience head to Bambù Hall, on Via Tortona in the Navigli district, which is a favourite haunt of male and female models taking breaks between shoots. The pub is fairly new, and is still relatively undiscovered, meaning that you won't have to share this fantastic bar with gaggles of tourists. The decor is resplendent in yellow and black, with bamboo canes abounding. The room is decked out in the American style with a long curved bar, and high stools and tables; and near the front of the bar there is a huge aquarium along the length of the wall, which contains multitudes of colourful, tropical fish.
Milan Shopping
If Milan is known for one thing amongst all other it is undoubtedly as one of the capitals of the fashion world. Every Italian designer has started out here, and they have all made the city the home of their flagship stores. These world-famous designer brands such as Versace, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana, can all be found in the area known as the Quadrilatero d'Oro (Golden Triangle), which is made up of streets such as Via Montenapoleone. Here glamour practically oozes from the shop windows on to the streets, where all the latest offerings from the famous designers are on display in all their glory. The newest attraction in the Quadilatero d'Oro is the Armani Megastore on Via Manzoni. This is a department store spread across three floors, filled from top to bottom with Armani products, complete with an Armani-themed café, and the famous Nobu restaurant. Armani lovers will surely have a field day in this store! Another prestigious shopping street is that of Via della Spiga, known as one of the top places to head to for elegant boutiques and top-quality designs. This street is also the flagship store for the Dolce & Gabbana Women's store.
For those who cannot afford the phenomenal prices of the top designer brands, the Corso Buenos Aires located near the Stazione Centrale, offers numerous different shops with hundreds of cheaper alternatives for fashion devotees. Corso Buenos Aires is the largest shopping street in the city, and one of the biggest in the whole of Europe, and at first shoppers may feel overwhelmed by the vast array of shops and products on offer, which range from fashion to jewellery, beauty products and electricals. It will take a very long time to visit every shop on the street, so a good idea is just to pick a few that you want to visit. On this street you will find all the international high street brands such as Benetton, Sisley and Zara, amongst many others. There are also many own-brand Italian high street shops and department stores on this road, which offer fantastic fashion at amazing prices. Even if what you buy is considered high street fashion in Italy, on returning home you can wow the crowds with your stylish Milanese clothes at a fraction of the designer prices. If you are looking for even greater deals, head to Viale Papiniano Market, where bargain-hunters will discover fantastic savings on leather and cashmere articles, amongst many others. There are also a large amount of designer factory outlet stores dotted around Milan, so you don't have to have a celebrity pay packet to look like a fashionista! Fontana di Trebbia on Via Trebbia is one such store, and here you will find huge reductions on Dolce & Gabbana and Fontana luggage and purses. Further bargains are also to be found in the Brera district, especially in the little side streets such as Via Solferino. Suffice it to say, whatever your style and price range you are sure to find what you are looking for in Milan.
