Bar Basso

Porta Venezia / Corso Buenos Aires

An intimate, time-honoured cocktail bar where the Negroni Sbagliato was codified; wood-paneled, convivial and quietly theatrical.

Why AVA recommends it

"A living piece of Milanese cocktail history appreciated for its authentic atmosphere and classic aperitivo rituals."
