Saint_clark Posted 18 October, 2016 Posted 18 October, 2016 Thanks for the info mate. Any suggestions for the Naviglio Grande area, which is the best street/canal to head for in the 1st instance, to have a beer and get our bearings? We're heading to Naviglio Grande. See you there. Looked it up on the map - points me about 3 miles out of Milan!
Saint Garrett Posted 18 October, 2016 Author Posted 18 October, 2016 Looked it up on the map - points me about 3 miles out of Milan! Don't relay think it's a problem with the metro, certainly seems to be the nicest place to have a few drinks. Probably more for after the game rather than before it though
Saint_clark Posted 18 October, 2016 Posted 18 October, 2016 Looking at the opening times for most places in Milan - all seems to be 18.00, 19.00 over and over again. Maybe the club were onto something telling people to go to Duomo.

Maybe the club were onto something telling people to go to Duomo. Duomo certainly seems to be the city centre tourist hub (think: Trafalgar Square, I guess). Ok, so any bars/cafes/restaurants in the vicinity will likely be taking the p1ss with their tourist trap prices but at least they're guaranteed to be open. Edited 18 October, 2016 by trousers

Looking beyond the opening times google have posted, there are articles claiming bars open from 8-11 in the morning so maybe we'll be fine. I think co-ordination on the day will be key - find a place that's open, post a picture on here, swarm to it and drink it dry before repeating the process.
benjii Posted 18 October, 2016 Posted 18 October, 2016 Milan really isn't a good city for a day on the ****, I am afraid.
StratfordSaint Posted 18 October, 2016 Posted 18 October, 2016 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/english+pub+milan/@45.4612992,9.1819815,14.63z I googled english pubs in milan. Close the Duomo I've noticed The English Football Pub, Old Fox Pub, Murphy's Law, King's Pub, Pub O'Connell, Sloane Square. Ok, so you may want to go to Italy for the culture, food and wine, but I'd suggest the above will better at getting a Saints atmosphere going! See you there maybe tomorrow evening.

I'm flying in on Thursday morning so if you could do a recce of all those venues tomorrow evening and report back on their viability for Thursday afternoon that would be appreciated!

Kings pub says €4 a drink on Thursdays and the norm seems to be €8-10 + in other venues.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 October, 2016 Posted 18 October, 2016 Does anyone know the score with nippers and alcohol in Italy . What's the legal age and are they hot on id . My lad is 17 .
Surman4no7shirt Posted 18 October, 2016 Posted 18 October, 2016 Does anyone know the score with nippers and alcohol in Italy . What's the legal age and are they hot on id . My lad is 17 . There is no legal minimum age to buy alcohol un Italy, but it's illegal to supply anyone under 16 alcohol. A lot of places (including most supermarkets) are part of a voluntary program not to sell alcohol to under 18's. In reality, I've never seen anyone ID'd for gambling, alcohol or cigarettes in Italy, even to enter a club.

bpsaint Posted 20 October, 2016 Posted 20 October, 2016 OWTS is ringing out across Duomo square, sounds ****ing incredible.
Saint_clark Posted 20 October, 2016 Posted 20 October, 2016 Naviglio was amazing...until bottles started getting smashed and every bar closed up. Now it's just OK, and we're making an early trek towards the ground.
