A fantastic place where you can feel at ease and meet lots of people from all over the world. I don't understand why there are so many negative comments. I'm starting to think the competition is trying to take advantage of it somehow. I'll definitely be back.

What a great cruising bar! I visited during August, and despite the city being pretty quiet I found plenty of fun at Illumined Bar.
3 floors with cruising area in the basement and naked bar on the 2nd floor. The main floor is more of a chill out space with a bar. On my visits the basement was pretty busy and the naked bar was quieter but that made it a nice break spot too.
I don’t understand a lot of the negative reviews. I speak about 10 words of Italian, but I tried to be nice and polite. I received the same treatment from all of the staff.
I’ll be back when Milan is busier and Illumined will be 1st on my list of must visit spots.

I had a great time.
I'd never been to this club, so one day when I finally had a free day, I gave it a try.
Highly recommended.
The reviews I've read (and you'll read, too) aren't true; the place is clean and well-organized.
See you soon, I hope, and thank you.

Large cruising area, one floor dedicated to naked parties, the basement for cruising proper. Spacious and well-equipped, it can get a bit lost at times. There are some gloryholes, but they're always too dark (a little light is sometimes nice and helpful), but it's a lot of fun. I went on a Wednesday night, and there were quite a few people, a mixed gender. Saturday nights are quite crowded. Overall, the cleanliness is decent considering the type of place. The staff is friendly, despite having to put up with a certain, somewhat inconsistent clientele. Admission is €10, including one drink (Monday to Thursday only).

We went tonight for the first time, and I have to say that both my friend and I loved the place. The bar staff were very friendly, and the cloakroom staff were very helpful.
We'll definitely be back on other nights.
Thanks

Let's start with the fact that—as they say in my area—a negative review of Illumined is like "complaining about the bad stuff."
I mean it, because anyone who does that is either acting in bad faith or completely out of touch.
The philosophy is very simple: come, enjoy the moment, do what you want—as long as it doesn't bother others—and no one will bother you.
That said, entry to Illumined costs €10, you can leave and come back within 24 hours without having to pay the entrance fee (and that alone should earn it an immediate five-star rating), and from Monday to Wednesday (and even Thursday by downloading the ARCO app), your first drink is included.
Let's add that the cloakroom and lockers for wallets and other items are free (a fee is required if you store suitcases or bulky items, but in that case it's a whopping €1), candy and condoms are always available (free, of course), there are sinks with hot water and soap, and paper towel dispensers are always refilled.
There are staff who constantly keep things clean, but you can't expect a place like this to be an operating room after a night with hundreds of people venting their deepest instincts. It seems pretty crazy to even think about it.
So I really wonder if some people have the slightest idea of what they're doing before writing such nonsense. Dear keyboard warriors, do you have any idea how much it costs to join private hetero clubs like this? I'll help you: ten times the price of Illumined. So, forgive my French, but you'd be better off using your hands for more fun and useful things than writing reviews of one of the few places left where you can have fun at a fraction of the price without a thousand limits.
Sorry for the length, but I've been attending Illumined for years, and it really bothers me to read certain things that aren't true. Keep it up, the hundreds of people who attend speak for themselves, and thank you for what you offer! :)

I don't come to Milan very often but, when I can pass by, it's a pleasure to be able to stop for a few hours in this place. Very large, clean, very kind staff. I like going to the red area, where you can be naked. A place where you can be in peace, drink a cocktail and have fun. That's the reason for my 5 stars. See you soon ☺️

I have read various reviews and honestly I don't understand them, I have been going to this place for a month and a half discovered thanks to a friend of mine. My first cruising I hope I used the right term, the place is very large ground floor, upper and lower. Two bar stations, two bathrooms including one for disabled people (which is not a given). I find some of the criticisms stupid with all due respect, it is normal that in the morning the place is a bit dirty because we had sex all night (luckily). It is your fault because I saw with my own eyes you don't flush the toilet, you take a 💩 out of the toilet, you throw the finished condoms on the floor, the paper ditto when it is full of garbage cans. I don't dare to imagine your house. In the morning they clean the place in areas first above then below even that I saw with my own eyes there are three guys if I'm not mistaken cleaning using professional products. At the cashier they give you free condoms if you want. The bartenders/the owner are not your friends/psychologists then we all have bad days. They give you bags to put your clothes in, which is super because it's hygienic. I always leave my wallet, cell phone and car keys at the cash register, never had a problem. There are bribes in all clubs/discos, just say no. The place is open 24 hours and you can leave and come back easily. A stone's throw from the central station and hotel. The only criticism is that I would like a smoking room but I hope I've already stopped smoking before 😂. If they've been open for almost 20 years there's definitely a reason. I'll always go to this place until the owner gets tired of seeing me (I hope not anyway 😅). Good work. Denis
