I do not recall what I had but it was tasty and only €5 They don't have seats but you can sit on the railing over the Naviglio and enjoy the beer while you watch the crowds of people walk by. And for some reason, the street hawkers seemed to leave me alone during this rare time. [Review 10726 overall, 494 of 2019.]

I like the concept, but for me this is not the sort of place I would go if you are on a romantic getaway in Milan. This place is good if you want to drink looots of beer preferable with a bunch of friends. We were a couple and it was fun to try a Yard of beer, but we left shortly after we had finished the beer. The downside to me, might have been the toilets. One toilet had no lock, no light and no toilet paper (I did not go in there), the other toilet, to my big surprise had light and paper! But the floor, oh man, the floor! For me a clean toilet is sort of important. So, this place is not for everyone, but if you are looking for lots of beer, this is the place for you!

The staff do speak English and are quite friendly and efficient. In Italian style, they will give you a nice long time to decide what you would like to eat and/or drink. If you sit outside, plan to pay for your order when it is delivered. On a cool winter's day, it's a good place to warm up inside with a beverage, snack or meal, while checking out the sports memorabilia. They have a lot of sports covered here. Beer on tap is offered by the pint or liter, or order a bottled beer from their 'around the world' selection. There is a full bar offering typical Italian cocktails ('Sprits', 'Negroni', etc. See their menu, located on the clip boards), Irish Coffee, wine, Gin tonics, whiskey, etc. Located right on the corner, at the beginning of the Naviglio Grande, this location gives the outside diner/drinker a great 'people watching' locale and the indoor customer a quick, easy refuge from the heat or cold while taking a break from the crowds or to take in a soccer (football/calcio) game.

When I asked the management why they wouldn't serve me they just become indignant and angry, the manager even insulting me, and still offering no explanation. Unfortunately this isn't an isolated incident as I've had many friends who have had similar experiences. One of my friends (a girl) was yelled at by the manager for taking a beer outside, even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with taking it outside as this is common practice and there were already people drinking outside. He contented that she had no table even though she was seated with us...a group of 6 people. Moreover, he offered no apologies after yelling at her and taking back her beer, forcing her to buy another beer because he had spilled most of the original one while he was berating her. Needless to say we left the bar shortly after. I however made the mistake of going back to meet a friend recently - hence this review. Probably better to avoid for any tourists as there's really nothing going on there. In any event, it's usually frequented by Milanese high schoolers in the evenings and not the best place to watch a football match or anything of the sort, despite its name.

The hostel itself is really clean, has cool, eclectic décor and several patios for guests to hang out on.

They serve surprisingly strong drinks here, so they are sippable and can last you a while. The bar of food as some good choices. I personally like the caprese salad, the fresh pizza (it goes quickly so its always fresh), and the copious amounts of cheese available. Keep in mind it is an aperitif bar, so don't expect restaurant quality dishes. Just nibbles to munch on.

TLDR: amazing view by the lake; fun, lively vibes; affordable - only €12 for a drink and AYCE;…read moregreat customer service Since we didn't know much about the area, we asked a Lush Employee for a recommendation and she suggested Navigli Darsena and getting all you can eat along the river. My friends and I have only been in Spain for a day and a half and so we were super excited. She didn't specify which AYCE place we should do to so we looked around. First off, Navigli Darsena is beautiful. It's an amazing lake to walk around. There's plenty of AYCE places but Manhattan defiantly stood out and was a fantastic deal. It was super lively and it helped reassure that we were going to a good place. It is the first restaurant on the left side by the lake. There were several people inside by the lake and indoors. We didn't know exactly what to do but a employee quickly found us and helped get us seated. We we served and the waitress was super helpful! Basically how this place works is that you buy a drink (12€ regular, 15€ large) and it comes with the buffet. There was a huge selection of drinks so there should be something for everyone. If you get the large drink, it comes in a huge cup which put us in awe. You pay once you get your drinks, which come pretty quickly. The buffet was actually delicious and a lot to choose from. Paired well with the drinks, but of course LOTS OF CARBS! My favourite was the potatoes, pizza, and little sandwich. Everything is a perfect bite size. The employees are super friendly, even though they don't have to be because they're not working for tips. They were helpful and kind. It brought a lot of ease. I told the employee serving us that she was pretty and she gave me a hug! She was so sweet (small tan skinned with curly hair). Loved going to this place and will definitely recommend others to try if they come to Milan!

This review is coming in a bit late, but I didn't have a very pleasant experience at this shop. I…read moregot the worst possible table (near the toilet) as I went in alone. There were actually only a couple of sofas at the entrance, so I'm not sure why it's called "sofa" cafe. The cafe itself is so cramped, it could be organized better in my opinion. As I was sitting at my table, pretty much every person who came into the shop seemed to want to use the toilet, so the line was very long and I kept bumping into each person. As for the coffee and pastry I ordered, it was just about ok, nothing special. The service was also very slow. I wouldn't recommend this place especially if you're going in alone and want to spend some time working or to read a book.

Great location- along a bustling street full of other bars and restaurants…read more Cocktails were above average. I'm quite fussy with my drinks and I must admit they were pretty well made! Not the best in the world but certainly better than the average. I would highly recommend the Moscow Donkey for a warm summers day as it was very refreshing! The only thing I would mention is the service was pretty poor. It took us about 10-15minutes to get our orders taken, and then we had to wait at least another 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive. If you're not in any rush (like us) then it's perfectly fine, but I would imagine it being quite annoying if you had somewhere to be afterwards. Overall it was above average drinks, below average service and a great relaxed ambience.

Dark in the back but the eclectic decorations and books on the shelves made it quite cozy and a fun place to share and catch up with my new friends on the tour. Huge list of beers and it took some serious work to limit myself to just one but it ended up being a tasty milk stout. All the beers are served in crock cups which is pretty cool. Neat little spot, the downstairs bathroom was fun to get to down a narrow spiral staircase. But it was clean and well lit, if perhaps just a little spooky. [Review 10680 overall, 448 of 2019.]
