Just came back from a weekend of excess in Milan. The bad news is that of the fours clubs we visited (and numerous bars) I can't remember many names or addresses - but this is what emerges from the mists of my hungover memory...
"Old-fashioned" in Parco Sempione. Don't let the name confuse you - this is clearly a hot-spot for the fashionable and cool. (We only got in by having a friend who speaks enough Italian to persuade some far better-dressed people to pretend we were their friends). Very cool decor, dancy music, ridiculously strong G&T...
"Sens Egal" - via Fiori (Brera area). Good bar for sitting outside and having unbelievably strong cocktails.
"Speakeasy" in Via CastelFidero - great for Sunday brunch (apart from the fact that they are heavily sponsored by Nescafe)
We also went to a Trattoria that I unfortunately can't remember the name of, due to the fact that when they give you a G&T they hand you a bottle of tonic and a glass of gin so full you can't get the mixer in...I do remember it was very cool and was near a strip joint called Golden Dolls (don't ask!) near Porta Nuova.

Review of Russell Hotel, London
Advantages: Good, old-fashioned pub with good beer Disadvantages: Not open on Sundays and the numerous 'City boys' could be seen as a disadvantage too!
