Editorial Review for Milano's Bar – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Though dim and slightly off-putting at first, the relaxed take-it-as-it-comes atmosphere is ultimately comfortable. Plant yourself at the long narrow bar--if there's room--and review the walls, plastered with photos of past drinking days. The half dozen tables at back sit near a jukebox offering a mix of pop, country, oldies and Irish favorites. Five premium beers plus cider on tap please patrons who range from solitary loners, to after-work partiers, to a younger crowd of strays who wander in from the block's other watering holes.

Insider Tips

When to Go

An 8am opening ensures those coming off the night shift and those who can barely face the day an equal shot of some Dutch courage.

The Extras

When it's time to move on to more of a party bar, stake out a couch at Botanica, two doors down.

Know Before You Go

Milano's doesn't take credit cards and there's no ATM on the premises--head to the deli on the corner if you need cash.

My first stop in the Big Apple to show my art portfolio to the galleries.....they headed me in the right direction and sent me off feeling very supported! Like a family! I love you guys! Excellent bloody mary mix...hand made by the Queen of the Bartenders!

Great bar but don't mess with Jackie. She is nice but takes no rubbish from anyone and has an attitude of 'You should be glad I am serving you at all' and dealing with the types in Milano's that is the best approach to take. Good people, met g-friend there, a Martha Stewart lookalike. Size of bar makes intimacy compulsory and that is a good thing.

Editor's Review

Despite its fashionable zip code, this sliver of a bar is that rare perfect specimen of classic New York dive.  See the full editorial review.
