NoLo.So is a queer cocktail bar on Via Luigi Varanini in NoLo, the neighbourhood north of Piazzale Loreto. It calls itself half club, half art gallery, and it celebrated its ninth year in 2026.
The walls carry changing exhibitions, often by young Milanese artists, and each show gets an opening night. A pink neon sign reading "I am what I am" hangs inside, and there are tables out on the street.
Evenings start with aperitivo and a buffet. The bartenders will build a drink to your taste rather than only pour from the list. At the weekend DJs take over, and the programme brings in drag performers and voguing nights.
The same people run Gianni, a pizzeria four doors along at number 9.
