Bvlgari bar

Timeless elegance

In the heart of the Brera district, a few steps away from the Fashion Quadrilateral, stands a renowned 5-star hotel, one of the most popular in the center of Milan: Bvlgari Hotel Milano. An ample oval black resin counter dominates the scene on the ground floor, right in the center of a hall shared with the restaurant. The bar is open all day long, but cocktail mixing truly shines from happy hour time. Patrick Greco, bar manager here since 2013, leads the team. In winter, sitting on the tall stools or at the tables, and in summer in the big garden visible through a marvelous glass wall, you can order from a drink list where attention to zero waste and importance given to the quality of ingredients take center stage. There’s no lack of alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks, the latter also highlighted as pairings in the restaurant’s tasting menu. The furnishing is linear and essential, with a timeless style using wood, marble, and corian. The clientele is mainly external and can choose to enjoy drinks in the restaurant space, too.
