Goganga, on Via Cadolini, is one of the most popular clubs in the city. But don't let the crowds put you off- the club hosts top-quality DJs, live music and themed parties. For those, who prefer lounging in a smoky jazz bar, then Honky Tonks should be on your list of Milan bars to visit. Situated on Via Fratelli Induno, Honky Tonks is home to cigar-smoking, clientele enjoying Tex Mex food and listening to live jazz. Read our SeeingMilan travel guide here or pick one up at booth N310.
