Rocket Club
Club · Alzaia Naviglio Grande 98, 20144 Milan Milan, Italy · 3.0 community rating · 2 reviews
Rocket Club Milano is the sleek, indie-spirited ex-industrial spaceship that has been rewriting Milan’s nightlife rules for over 20 years! Perched right on the scenic banks of the Navigli canals, this beautifully inclusive, multi-room bunker is a massive favorite for the city’s hip, artsy, and queer-fluid crowds. They throw out the stale corporate club blueprint to serve a deliciously chaotic weekly rotation: Thursday minimal house with Motel Calypso, Friday’s unapologetically hyper-pop, nightcore, and hardstyle rave Viper, and Saturday's legendary, style-heavy hip-hop and R&B night Akeem. It is dark, bass-heavy, and beautifully free of judgment.

Tempio del Futuro Perduto
Club · Via Luigi Nono 7, 20154 Milan Milan, Italy · 3.0 community rating · 1 reviews
Get ready to enter a space that is as much a political statement as it is a party. Tempio del Futuro Perduto (Temple of the Lost Future) is giving "Berlin-style squat realness meets high-concept cultural lab." Located in a former railway warehouse near Cimitero Monumentale, this is an independent, self-managed sanctuary dedicated to radical self-expression and multidisciplinary art. The vibe is raw, edgy, and fiercely protective, operating under a "safe space" manifesto that champions freedom from judgment. It’s an "all-tribes-welcome" sanctuary where you can catch an avant-garde theater performance in the afternoon and lose yourself in a sweaty, smoke-filled techno ritual by midnight. Pro Tip: This is a no-photos venue during most club nights to ensure total freedom on the dancefloor—keep your phone in your pocket! Also, check out their "Muro della Gentilezza" (Wall of Kindness) outside, where people leave clothes for those in need. If you're coming for a rave, arrive after 1:30 AM when the industrial rooms truly start to vibrate.
