We came here for a Negroni. It is a very friendly safe space on a very cute street with super kind and welcoming staff. And the cocktail was awesome! Highly recommended :)
Stay away. We go to a bar for a nice time and a good drink. The manager in glasses was rude - not in a"cultural differences way", he literally slammed his hands on the table, put his face in my partner's face and demanded he order. If we weren't at a gay bar I'd have called it homophobic. So we decided on beer instead of cocktails and the beer he said was on tap came out in a bottle. I didn't see the locals treated this way. Seems a bad place for tourists. Try elsewhere.
I had a very unpleasant experience with one of the staff members — possibly a waiter or the manager, wearing glasses. He responded aggressively to my questions about the buffet and refused to explain the ingredients. As a vegan, I relied on his help and ended up serving myself something that contained meat. This is supposed to be a gay bar, a safe space, but I didn’t feel safe at all — in fact, I felt threatened by his attitude, especially as a foreigner. If you are looking for a safe space to have a drink, don’t come to this place!
It was the first place I sat for an aperitivo in Milano, and the experience was funny. The place itself is small, with several tables outside on the street. There are many bars nearby, but I chose to sit here because it wasn't as crowded as the other bars. Plus, there were positive vibes around the place. The waitress was kind, and while sitting there, the picture became clear as it appeared to be LGBTQ-friendly, so the characters were vivid. Service was horrifically slow, but eventually, I received to the table a glass of Aperol Spritz along with vegetables & crisps. It cost a total of 9 Euros which is a fair price. Overall, I wouldn't say this is a "must-go place," but in a city such as Milan, where everything (and everyone) looks like it was taken out of a magazine - This place is unpretentious in a good way.
Happy hour runs from 18:00-21:30 and drinks are €8 each (Aug 17). They free pour like crazy so be prepared for strong drinks. The cicchetti ("free" bar food) is yum and it keeps coming. We bought 6 drinks between two of us and ate two plates of food and we're stuffed. It's a predominantly gay crowd (cause it's a gay bar), but there's a big mix of non-gay locals. It's a vibrant, talkative and very friendly atmosphere. The staff are friendly and happy to get you drunk! If you want good cheap food, strong drinks in a chilled environment this is your bet.
