Scimmie

Amazingly rough around the edges for sophisticated Milan, Scimmie is located behind a narrow doorway in dressed-down Navigli, natural home of Italian grunge and the under-30s. Nightly music sessions range from punk to acoustic guitar, reggae and cabaret, plus the odd stand-up comedy routine in English. In summer, the action spreads across the street to a barge moored on the canal for live acoustic music and cocktails. If you're hungry, visit the cozy little restaurant, which serves a limited menu of Italian classics.
