Hollywood Rythmoteque

À éviter (musique beaucoup, beaucoup trop forte, ambiance inexistante, musique has been).

Went on a Tuesday and still had a good time dancing with locals and students. Good music and a good overall layout. Drinks were a little watery but still enjoyable. Cost € 10 to get in with three drinks so you get what you pay for. Coat check of € 5 seemed a bit pricey but when added to price of entry overall not too bad. Good club that ranks just after Alcatraz in Milano from what I hear. Would go again!

Had high hopes for this club after a fail night at Venice. We did extensive research this time-​we read everything from Unilocal to Tripadvisor to random blogs and Hollywood had the best reviews. From the outside, the club looked legit. There were 4 bouncers and as soon as you stroll in, you walk through a neon lit hallway to get to the dance floor.
Entrance fee is 25 euros (way more than any Italian club I’ve been to yet but we were down to splurge) and you get a free drink WOOHOO. The coat check is 5 euros and you pay first. You could leave it in a booth but they’re technically reserved. Most people are chill with you sitting in their booths but my friends and I encountered a pretty territorial middle aged woman who gave us the gnarliest bitch face. Good for her because it worked and we headed to some other unoccupied booth.
The bar is the first thing you see when you enter the main room and the club is pretty deep. The dance floor is huge and there are 5 – 6 «VIP» booths and in the back, there’s another dance floor! And another bar. The night we went, there was around 40 people loosely scattered among the main dance floor. No one was really dancing. It seemed like they were more interested in judging the other club goers. The second dance floor/​bar was closed off — probs because the club was not hopping…
The people in the club ranged from oldies (why are you even here) to really hip well dressed young adults. And possibly even a couple celebrities who had a posse of hulk body guards. Not a complete sausage-​fest but definitely more guys than girls.
The 3 bartenders were friendly and entertained us while the dance floor was still sparse. One was super cute and sulky-​think Edward Cullen but cuter. There was another who had Harry Style hair and really wanted to practice his English. We smiled and nodded, pretending to understand him talk about other hotspots in Italy. He was an interesting guy… The last character was a bit sketchy… rolling us fake blunts to make us laugh-​nervously.
After chilling with the derpy bartenders for a half hour, we realized the club wasn’t getting better and decided to make our fun. The music was electro/​dance music and very repetitive. You can only fist
bump for so long. Since the club wasn’t packed and no one was really moving, we asked the DJ to play some r&b/hip hop. He smiled and nodded… but then proceeded to replay the same playlist of boring electro music. We kindly asked a second, third, and even fourth time but I don’t think he got the message. Either he thought we were annoying and wanted to purposely make us suffer or he did not know what hip hop was… either way, the DJ was a fail.
Throughout the night, a couple of creepers tried to penetrate our dance circle. A tall scrawny guy who danced like a complete spaz kept making rounds but we were just like… no. It wasn’t until he casually mentioned he was a freakin model in Milan for fashion week. DUDE! Seriously, you didn’t think to start with that first? He then pointed to his model friends — and oh hot damn, 6 finely-​dressed tall Greek statue-​esque men sat so stoically at a booth next to us… my friends and I freaked out. I had a baby heart attack which I think I hid pretty well.
After a couple minutes of deliberating whether to walk to them or not, my prayers were answered (thank you!!) and the beautiful group of models joined our dance circle OMG. The one next to me leaned over to me and whispered something — he looked so angelic and model-​esque (duh). Whatever he said flew right by me and I became frozen… I was so frazzled/​in awe that I probably looked a bit funky. After what seemed like an eternity (he probably thought I was dumb/​slow by this point), I noticed the cigarettes he was offering to me OMG lol but ew cigs, so I politely declined and we continued to fist bump to what felt like the same electro pop song that had been playing for the last hour.
My friend and I went to the bathroom for a sec to talk strategy and waved bye to the models (ugh so beautiful-​it was hard to take my eyes off them haha). The bathroom is WEIRD. The mirror is actually a glass window that lets you see in to the men’s bathroom… and vice versa — we had some interesting interactions haha we returned to the dance floor and whatever happened between us and the models will remain a mystery ;) jk they freakin left in this time frame of 5 minutes #BIGGESTREGRETOFMYLIFE
The rest of the night was filled with even more creeps (all ages…) trying to grind with us, but once you have locked eyes with a model, everyone else is a step/​multiple steps down :(For you foodies, it’s like eating cup noodle after going to the best ramen store in Tokyo. We stayed til 4 am and literally the same awful electro songs were playing. This club has potential for sure but the music/​dj sucks and it is not worth 25 euros. Also life lesson: if you ever meet a male model, do not leave the room!

Una delle discoteche più famose di Milano

Kleinerer Club am Rand eines gut besuchten Party– und Barviertels im Herzen Mailands. Der Club liegt im Keller. Vom Ambiente eher unscheinbar, dunklel und etwas verschlissen, etwas 80s-​Optik. Teuer ist es auch nicht. Bis ca. 1 Uhr eher leer und völlig unscheinbar. Es wird härtere gute Housemusic aufgelegt.
Ab 1 Uhr fängt der Laden an zu kochen. Echt hoher Partyfaktor, echt viele Models und gute Leute, das ganze in ausgelassener Partystimmung. Hier kann man richtig und lange feiern. Unbedingt mal vorbeischauen!

Waren zu viert im März 2010 im Hollywood. Echt guter Club. Tolle musik. Ja es ist teuer, aber hier ist alles teuer ;-)
Trotzdem ein Besuch wert.

Pour les français
Ceux qui souhaitent danser sur de la bonne musique, c’est une bonne adresse. Son défaut c’est peut-​être le prix: 13 € l’entrée avec une conso et ensuite 8 € la conso. Ceci dit les verres sont bien dosés et vite bu. A noter deux espaces dont un VIP et les italiens très sympas (mais peut-​être parce que je suis une fille !)

Hollywood — Where beautiful people hang out?
This club is mentioned in all the guidebooks as «the place» in Milano, obviously by people who have been paid to say so. It is small, dirty, ridiculously overpriced (11 € for a small beer) and it’s toilets rank alongside the worst that Milano has to offer. In short save your money or go elsewhere — but do not go to Hollywood. Hopefully this review will wake the owners up to the fact that you can’t live on past glories (if they ever existed).

What a crowd
This place is always packed, so pick a table to dance on instead. I’ve only been here a few times, but the atmosphere is nice and sweaty. Celebrities often make cameos to the VIP room. Ladies must come here at least to check out the bathroom, you’ll understand… ;)
