This is the prince of bars and pubs. It is, according to its own right, the mother of all aperitifs. An historical bar of Milan, the Bar Magenta has truly seen all of the fashion modes pass without ever suffering any repercussions and has shown the way to ten years of Milanese passion for the aperitif. The tram drivers and motorists that pass in front of the bar know that they must endure the exhausting lines and weave, somehow or other, between the parked cars of the bar customers. Inside the Bar, which has recently been restored and expanded, there is a typical Bohemian air with early 1900s Art Deco style furnishings. In addition, it is spacious and always full. Initially opened as the Italian version of English Pubs, it offers cocktails of every kind, as well as many speciality beers. Not to be missed.
It was back in 1985 when Blues Bikers, Italy's first motorcycle pub, opened. In line with the traditional meeting places for bikers all over Europe, you enter here a world of saddles, pistons, motors, handlebars and wheel rims, as well as pinball machines and pictures of scantily clad girls. Nor is there a shortage of reminders of those stars traditionally linked to motorbikes such as Brando and Presley. Rolls and hot dishes are available, both Italian and Mexican as well as plenty of different types of beer.
Everyone knows that surfers are a group unto themselves. This place could only be called Surfers' Den as it is like entering a separate world. Here you will find old-fashioned surf boards, pictures and films of the Beach Boys shown non-stop on the large screens; beer is drunk seriously in an atmosphere that is something between California and Australia.
