Baladin Milano

In my experience, we ordered 7 hamburgers, but two of them came very late despite we ordered all of them at the same moment. So we had to wait for all. Anyways, hamburgers and beers were delicious. The staff was a bit unorganized. The portions of beers could be a bit more.

The Baladin beer needs no introduction, it is perhaps the most famous Italian craft beer and this is their pub in Milan. The place is beautiful and welcoming, for the most part it develops in the tavern, which however is well cared for. The beers are known, crafted but also a little too popular at the moment, however the styles are obviously well defined, excellent hops, all balanced. Always a pleasure get a short tasting. The place also offers good cuisine. In Milan, this place could not be missing.

A great choice of original burgers. It was the first time I tried a raw fish burger and it was pretty good. The draft beers are delicious as well and there is a choice for every taste!

Very good quality beer served in wine-ish glasses. Prices are a little steep for the quantity you get served from tap (tall wine glass - not pints) but the quality of the locally made craft beer makes up for it. The atmosphere is between cozy, hipster and slightly posh - the staff was friendly.

The Burger was good, but... the service is incredible slow

Nice and cozy place, staff was very friendly and beer was not expensive. I recommend the Garden beer if you like Guinness. You should be able to find a free table even at late Saturday night. Went there with a group of 4 people and it was great.

Two important things to consider this place. First, good craft beer starting at 4.5 euros, one of the cheapest places around Milano to have some. Italy-brewed beer is the main focus. Secondly, do not eat food there. The food is quite expensive, we ate an hamburger for 10e, without anything else as side-dish. Not bread, not frites. If you want to have some beers, this is the place, if you want to eat, this is not the place. The hamburger itself was good, all said.

I travel around Europe a lot for work. I am pretty accustomed to feeling out of place in bars, usually because I'm in a place where I don't speak the language. Therefore it's rare to find a place like Baladin where I am made to immediately feel at home. The staff was genuine and caring. The beers were excellent and the food perfect. I am happy to know such a place is waiting for me on my next trip to Milan.
