Where can I get a cheap spritz in Milan?

Bar Picchio on Via Melzo in Porta Venezia serves spritz for €3.50, according to the creator, who calls it great value for the city center. It is a 1969 bar and tabacchi with a classic 1970s interior, homemade pasta and focaccia.

Is there live music in Bologna from this list?

Cantina Bentivoglio on Via Mascarella has live jazz every night, served alongside traditional Bolognese food in a rustic room. For a quieter drink, Senza Nome near the Mercato delle Erbe is a Deaf-owned bar with specialty coffee, cocktails and wine.

Bars in Italy From TikTok: Milan Nightlife and Bologna Jazz

Milan has four of these six, all from one post titled 'Some of Milan's most iconic spots'. Together they sketch a night out across the city: a 1969 bar and tabacchi in Porta Venezia, a karaoke club in Brera, an aperitivo crowd in Porta Romana and a restaurant on Via Molino delle Armi that turns into a club.

Bologna adds two calmer options. Cantina Bentivoglio on Via Mascarella pairs local cooking with live jazz every night, and Senza Nome near the Mercato delle Erbe is a Deaf-owned bar serving coffee, cocktails and wine. Neither Bologna bar has a creator note, so the records do the describing. Prices are moderate across the list, apart from Bar Picchio, which is cheap.

Where creators go

Bar PicchioBar · Milan
A bar and tabacchi on Via Melzo in Porta Venezia, open since 1969 and still dressed in its 1970s interior. The crowd is local and the mood familial, with homemade pasta and focaccia. The creator's note is the price: spritz for €3.50, which they call great value for the center of Milan.
Il PatuscinoKaraoke Bar · Milan
A small, historic nightclub on Via Madonnina in Brera with karaoke every night, mostly Italian pop from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The room is cramped, with sofas and prints on the walls, and everyone sings together. The post calls it the most iconic karaoke night in Milan. Mid-range prices for the city.
Mom CafèCocktail Bar · Milan
A cocktail bar and pub on Viale Monte Nero in Porta Romana, known for its aperitivo buffet and a jumbo Negroni Sbagliato. The crowd spills outside, mostly young professionals. The creator's note is simply that it gets incredibly crowded, which is the point of going.
TomBar · Milan
A venue on Via Molino delle Armi in the former Shu space, with an international restaurant serving poke and bowls and a black-themed club called Stock. The evening moves from aperitivo to dancing, with Italian singalong events. The creator's tip: a great place to party on a Monday night.
Cantina BentivoglioLive Music Bar · Bologna
A rustic Bologna venue on Via Mascarella that serves traditional Bolognese food with live jazz every night. It suits a long dinner with music rather than a quick drink. It comes from a post about Bologna's food reputation as 'La Grassa', so come hungry.
Senza NomeBar · Bologna
A Deaf-owned and Deaf-run bar on Via Belvedere, near the Mercato delle Erbe in Bologna, serving specialty coffee, cocktails and wine. The space is built around inclusive communication and culture, and it appears in a creator's top picks for Bologna. Moderate prices, with coffee as well as cocktails on the menu.

A Milan night in four stops

Start cheap at Bar Picchio in Porta Venezia with a €3.50 spritz. Move to Mom Cafè in Porta Romana for the aperitivo buffet and the crowd outside. Finish with karaoke at Il Patuscino in Brera, or on a Monday, head to Tom, where the restaurant becomes a club. All four come from the same post, so they make a natural circuit of the city.

Good to know

Four Milan bars come from one creator's post about the city's most iconic spots: Bar Picchio for cheap spritz in Porta Venezia, Il Patuscino for karaoke in Brera, Mom Cafè for aperitivo in Porta Romana, and Tom for Monday night parties.
