Illumined

on the top floor I read it's only naked, but it opens in the evening or during the day ???? a thousand thanks

A very intriguing place with a thousand pleasant surprises at all hours of the day and night .. Nice friendly staff, special note of merit to Mr. Francesco for being an excellent observer and keen sensitivity ... I will come back to see you every time I am in Milan with great pleasure!

So I read the reviews on multiple sites and expected for the management to be rude. Most of us read this kind of stuff and say "yeah well, it won't happen to me." Which is what I did... Disclaimer, I am Italian and live abroad so no language issues though they were horrible with foreigners. Arrogant and just jerky instead of accepting their English was terrible. The first night I arrived one of the owners (the dark-haired one) was yelling at a guy in an incredibly insulting and crass manner as he left. I tried to downplay it checking in. I smiled and played nice. Checked my clothes in and then a minute later realized I had left my mask in my jacket pocket. So I got back in line... made it to the front of the line and explained with a smile , "I am really sorry, I forgot my mask in my coat, could you bring me my coat?" Normal reaction? "Sure". Illumined reaction: "You better put on your mask NOW or else I will kick your ass out on the street like the last two guys" Classy. I said "yes, I want to wear my mask too, I just forgot". Then on departing from the rainbow dressed co-owner/management, equally deficient in personal interactions... Rainbow: "Here's your bill. €60" Me: In a normal tone- "Could you tell me where that was spent? It seems like a lot especially since my two other (non-Italian speaking friends) paid the same... Rainbow: (off the rails angry) "ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR? If you don't want to pay that's fine, you will NEVER be able to come back into this place." I said... "no, actually I have no problem paying, I just want to understand what I am paying for!" I paid the €60 and then met my friends outside who said they had also were wondering why their charges were so high. In a nutshell, the two owners of this place, in my experience are beyond rude.

As an American, I liked the place. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I went on a Saturday. The check in was friendly and clear about the cost, €17 to get the card (if you don’t ready have one) and a further €10 for entry. For that you get the first drink free. All the terms were accurate. It was crowded, as crowded as most cruise clubs anywhere could be, and this was during the pandemic. Crowd is mostly late 30s to 50s, like anywhere else. Overall, a satisfying experience. Mostly private rooms, some with glory holes.

Definitely not a place for Americans to visit. Nasty attitude before you even get in. It’s like give me your $ then get out of our way. I have been to many such places all over the world. This club happens to be the worst.

Sometimes everything goes well, sometimes we get treated badly. The thing is that there's simply nothing else in Milan for action in the afternoon...

Sono stato a maggio dell'anno scorso da solo. Io 21 anni, glabro e passivo ;) potete immaginare come mi hanno accolto, non mi sono mai divertito tanto.... anche se il giorno dopo camminavo come un cowboy ;))) Ambiente pulito, gente molto ok... ci voglio tornare al più presto. Ciaooo

I tried to visit that place in noon, 22.10.19. I needed new membership card and the guy at the reception couldn’t explain, why he can’t sell me new one? In one second he turned to very hysterical condition. It was weird and disgusting. He said: “You don’t speak Italian - so get out!” So, here is a question - is it legal in Italy to refuse in service for foreigners? What else? Is it so difficult to hire staff with good English in Milano? I visited this place a year ago. The stuff was friendly and polite. That’s why I wanted to visit it again. Now that bar loses money and reputation because of one hysterical person. You should fire him. Your business will only win. So hope to return one day again and meet some good people at the reception.

I went here for the 1st time. I had to buy a membership to get in. Based on the website, they overcharged me for the price of the membership. I said ok. They said with the membership you get a free drink. They would not honor that either. I was told it was free, but when I left, I was told I had to pay for it. I felt very singled out and treated very rudely just because I was not Italian. I guess they hate foreigners. I regret even going there. They made me feel completely unwelcomed. It seemed like they would just lie and cheat just to get money. It really makes me distrust Italians now, since they treated me this way. Do yourself a favor and pick another bar where you can have fun and be treated fairly and respectfully!! Don't choose this bar.

This is the 2nd time I am there and really delighted, the staff smiling polite and speaks good english or Italian, lots of people and clean.

This place for you Americans who complain about people being rude, it's just gay guys with attitude. Once you get past your feelings being hurt, this place is the best. 3 areas. The night I went the top level upstairs is where the experience boys who really come to play go hard, 2nd level is a small bar, 2 movie rooms and a lounge. The 3rd or basement level guys leave on their clothes ... but guys from the top come down so there are naked and fully clothed guys mixed together. So you can go raw or protected, it depends on you. I went around 11pm and it was busy. It's $10 to get in and $17 for the andros card which is good for a year and can be used anywhere. Also, no flip flops - you need your card to buy drinks and stuff in the venue.

Called tonight to be told for 2 it would be €57 ...are they nuts?

I went late on a Thursday, and again Friday late afternoon. The staff at reception didn't speak English, but were helpful as I had to buy the anddos card. Good variety of drinks, which you pay for at the end. The top floor is naked, which I went to, and it was the busiest area. Very friendly horny guys, and I'd deffo go again. There were a few rent boys hangin about down stairs, but they didn't bother me

Spacious place that was very busy the Saturday night we went. The top floor is all nude but you can still wander to the other parts of the bar. Downstairs is a busy labyrinth of cabins and a dark room. One disappointment was that none of the cabins I saw was connected by glory holes. The middle floor was under-utilized space that would be better served as a bigger bar area. Mixed crowd with a surprising amount of hot guys.

I think that club best if I when there weekend more of 20 gays were use it me.

Really bad experience just in the entrance. First before say welcome .... he say only French, Italian and German. Meanwhile we were waiting in the entrance, he and other guy of the staff they were looking to the surveillance cameras and they were laughing at the people and pointing!!! Really disgusting !!! Avoid it!!

Other than centrally located and easy to get there for a tourist, I can't come up with anything positive about this club. I have been to many clubs around the world in three continents, from Berlin to Hong Kong to San Francisco and never had an experience as bad as this club. I visited the club on a Saturday evening and was greeted by rather rude staff at front desk, not a great first impression. In general, the facility was filthy and filled with hookers; while some of the clientele were nice/hot I found it quite disturbing almost everybody were bare backing and condoms dispensers were not easily accessible. This is quite disappointing and scary to me, considering PrEP is not widely prescribed in Italy. I ended up leaving the club less than 30 min and made the trek to a different club.
