This is a favourite place for a beer at any time of the year but in winter it is particularly cosy inside, with comfy chairs, quirky furniture and old book cases with ageing books. It’s a little different from the usual bars in the Navigli area which can focus more on the Happy hour trade and cocktails and can lack a bit of atmosphere. 

Another cute thing is that they serve the beer in kitcsh ceramic beer mugs. They serve a good Italian brewed favourite Menebrea and the Prague favourite from Staropramen.

They don’t do the normal happy hour buffet but you can order fantastic value cheese and salami platters if you’re feeling a little peckish. It’s easy to find, just at the start of the Naviglio Pavese. The first canal if you are walking from the city centre. If you get there early you should have no problem finding a seat, later in the night after 10pm, could be more difficult.
