The smallest bar in the world has a big soul and the skills of its bartenders are bigger still. Two blonde beers and seven cocktails. All of them are very familiar, nothing too confusing and subversive. Their cocktails are like classical music performed perfectly, note by note. Our favorite? The Whiskey Sour made as they made it two centuries ago and, trust us, they made i t really well. You can also book the exclusive inside room for two where you can speak vis-à-vis with the mixologist and enjoy an absolutely unique experience.

Apparently a normal French-inspired petit bistrot, the Tibi is much more than it seems at first sight. Its cellar includes at least two hundred different varieties of gin. Did you believe there was only one way to make a gin and tonic? You were wrong. Tibi mixologists pour sublime blends into their glasses, and they’re so good they made this niche place a real must-see for all gin lovers in Milan. A hidden gem. Greatest strength? That icy elixir that responds to the name of African Mule, simply mind-blowing.

Perhaps you knew this place as a restaurant, without a doubt one of the best Japanese places in Milan. What you may not know is that while you eat your meal you are sitting on the biggest sake cellar of the whole European continent: 150 labels plus thirty specials that rotate every month. And with all this variety didn’t you believe they made good drinks? Let’s start with the Koibito, a cocktail à deux made only for lovers, but there are other proposals such as Mitsouko with lemongrass, tea and black pepper or Hanami, an unforgettably tasty sake martini.

1930 Speakeasy

The most hidden and elusive bar in Milan jealously guards its secrets. We peeked behind its curtains for you and what we are referring to you are fragmentary news, that can’t possibly represent the immense complexity and elaboration of the drinks on the list. Suffice it to say that there is a cocktail made of bourbon that comes wrapped in a black cloth, in small boat model that emits smoke, and then another that recalls the atmosphere of the black jungle or the deep mysteries of India. To be tried absolutely, if you manage to enter.

Bombarded daily by information of all kinds, transmitted by an ever-increasing number of communication tools, we sometimes look for a simplification, a reliable source, a guide. Flawless Milano was born from this need, and tells the best experiences to have in Milan with style, precision and personality.
