Blue Note Milano

Blue Note Milano opened in 2003 on Via Borsieri, the main street of Isola, and it bills itself as one of the most iconic jazz clubs in Europe. It programmes around 350 concerts a year, from jazz names such as Aaron Parks and Walter Smith III to soul, Latin and themed nights; the autumn 2026 calendar includes the James Taylor Quartet, Yilian Cañizares and Jazzanova live.

You book a seat, eat from an Italian and international menu if you want, and drink from a list of more than 200 cocktails. The box office is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 14:00 to 22:00. It works as the first part of a night out, because the bars of Isola are outside the door. Not for you if you want to dance until morning.
