In the most bohémien and the most culturally bustling side of the city, Porta Genova, there's a small club run by a cultural association that has the aim to bring together the most interesting and artistic people of the city or from all over the world. For that aim they organize cultural and musical events.
Every day there's something different: sometimes there's the jazz evening, where you'll listen to jazz bands performing, a philosophical evening or poetry open mic where you can hear poetry acted out in different languages and so on. The aim is to have fun by discovering something new, from the other people you meet or from this magical and inspiring place. To enter you have to become part of it, so you have to do a subscription that costs 5 euros, and then every event has its price, however, it is never expensive (not more than 6/7 euros). Inside, while you listen to poetry or music, you can have a drink which is cheap as well (3 euros for a beer, 5 for a drink). Come to see Corte dei Miracoli, it's one of the most mysterious and wonderful places to visit in the evening in Milan.
