Going out at night in Milan entails a lot more than simple dinner as Milan offers a wide range of clubs, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafes,  bistros, wine cellars, wine bars and lounge bars some of which have nice live local jazz bands.

Basically the atmosphere is adorned for all tastes and mind sets.
Clubbing goes from around 11pm till four in the morning and the best way to prepare for this is to start with aperitifs earlier in the evening. Drinks cost around seven euros and they use the pay as you leave system facilitated by a ticket given to the patrons upon entry into a club. Loss of this ticket leads to heavy penalties.
