Usually, Milan nightlife starts right after an aperitivo, where people meet for a light dinner, talk and perhaps choose the best after-hours club, open until 5am.
Here is a selection of the most exclusive and posh after-hours dancing clubs of Milan, where you may have the chance of meeting Italian celebrities while dancing live pop, hip hop and house music. Be aware that each club has its entrance policies, based on age and dress code.
