I love scoping out the best cocktail bars in Milan – to enjoy a delicious night cap or When you find the perfect blend of a good drink in a great place with the best of friends, it’s a triple whammy. Check out my list of the best cocktail bars in Milan.
Table of Contents
Norah was Drunk
Norah was Drunk is a small but mighty cocktail bar. They typically have 3 or 4 specialized cocktails on their menu that rotate every few weeks (in addition to their standard, premium offering). They also often host guest mixologists, so you have plenty of experts on hand to assist in making you a great drink!
Eppol
Eppol has a prime location in one of the best spots of Porta Venezia. Despite high competition, Eppol stands out with its unique cocktail list.
Rita’s Tiki Room
I am a sucker for tiki bars, so it’s no surprise Rita’s Tiki Room made my list of the best cocktail bars in Milan. The bartenders all have a “cool” vibe to them and serve up a mean drink. It’s giving tiki but without being overly cheesy. I also recommend ordering some of their small plates – the food is incredible as well.
White Rabbit Speakeasy
You’ll only get into the White Rabbit Speakeasy with the password (which changes monthly). Sign up online to get the clue messaged to you over WhatsApp. You’ll be rewarded with your seat and a cocktail if you guess correctly at the door.
The Doping Bar
Looking for a cozy, curl up by the fire lounge vibe? Just head into The Doping Bar.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest is an experience as much as it is a bar. The menu is essentially a small, illustrated book and your drinks arrive as a full-blown presentation. The prices are fair for the results.
Lacerba
I love a unique, quirky vibe for a cocktail bar and Lacerba delivers. The menu has a long list of specialty cocktails and you definitely won’t get bored looking at all of the odds and ends around the room.
Fred
While listening bars are becoming more and more trendy, you can say Fred was one of the first in Milan. Fred is a blend of a record store, a bar, and a cafe (serving brunch and other bites).
Are there any other cocktail bars you love in Milan? Let me know. I’m always willing to volunteer to try a new space!
