Mag Cafè
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
Navigli's cocktail bar: vintage furniture, a long drinks menu, and bartenders who'll ask what you want and improve on it.
Mag Cafè has been on the Naviglio Grande since 2011 and has somehow stayed good while everything around it slid into tourist bait. The interior is junk-shop chic: chandeliers, old radios, taxidermy, vintage portraits. The cocktail list runs deep: house infusions, well-made classics, plus original drinks that don't feel forced. Aperitivo is generous (a full spread, not a bowl of olives) and runs until 9. A second location in Porta Romana opened more recently and is the easier reservation.
