Milan
Milan's canal quarter is where aperitivo culture runs loudest, with cocktail rooms, natural wine and brewpubs lined along the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese. Here are the Navigli bars our editors send people to first.
Cocktail Bar · Navigli
A Navigli aperitivo institution with a vermouth library that runs past 100 bottles and Negronis built with care. The early evening buffet draws a loyal local crowd.
Cocktail Bar · Navigli
A small, intimate room directly on the canal that pours rotating seasonal cocktails. One of the bars that set the tone for the modern Navigli scene.
Speakeasy · Navigli
Reportedly the smallest cocktail bar in the world at four square metres, booked in 30 minute slots. The menu changes every month and the room is yours for the sitting.
Cocktail Bar · Navigli
A speakeasy styled cocktail bar and gourmet bistrot just off the canal, known for the signature Trique. Good for a drink that turns into dinner.
Cocktail Bar · Navigli
A historic cocktail bar and Milanese kitchen in a 1700s house over the Vicolo dei Lavandai. The canal side rooms and the garden are the seats to book.
Wine Bar · Navigli
A casual natural wine bar with a deep Italian regional list and pizza by the slice. An easy stop before the canal fills up for the evening.
Aperitivo Bar · Navigli
A canal side aperitivo buffet on Ripa di Porta Ticinese that runs into a late lounge. Built for the spritz hour and the crowd that stays after it.
Sports Pub · Navigli
Fourteen rotating taps on the Naviglio Pavese with screens facing the canal terrace. The Navigli room for a pint and the game.
