Mag Cafe

MaG, down in the Navigli, is a glorious, chaotic carnival of cocktails. It's the sort of place where the drinks menu reads like a fever dream, and the crowd, a vibrant, eclectic mix of wide-eyed tourists, buzzes with a kind of giddy excitement. The Negroni Del Marinaio, their own salty, sea-faring take on the classic, is a bold, eccentric thing, a drink that dares you to take it seriously, even as you can't help but grin. The snacks, a parade of tiny, artfully arranged morsels, are almost secondary to the spectacle. Yes, it's a touch touristic, a bit of a scene, but the sheer, unadulterated joy of the place, and those gloriously bonkers cocktails, make it absolutely worth braving the crowds. It's a place where you go to be entertained, and to sip on drinks that are as much performance art as they are libations.

This is the team behind the ultra exclusive Speakeasy 1930. I had the Negroni Del Mariano and my colleague had something Bespoke with Gin/Mezcal. Both were incredibly good. I asked Elisa who is absolutely great why this was named MAG - the reason being the previous owner of the shop which was a popular cafe was surrounded by unlimited magazines. They have kept the vibe intact and it is such a great homage to the previous owner this current bar is incredibly stocked with vintage stuff all over and gives an old school vibe

Meg bar Right at the top of the experience – literally and figuratively – is the Mega Bar. Once again, fantastic service that made us feel instantly welcome. The team here clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every detail. If you’re anywhere near Milan, this place is a must. 100% recommended.

Mag Cafe in Navigli, Milan, is a hidden gem if you're looking for a quiet and relaxed spot to enjoy a cocktail or a drink. It’s cozy, welcoming, and full of charm — a perfect contrast to the louder, more chaotic bars nearby. While the rest of Navigli can be a bit wild, Mac Café offers a peaceful atmosphere where you can truly unwind. Totally worth a visit if you're in the area.

Nice place to hang out with friends in the evening. Very nice stuff and good drinks. They offer some free snacks to your drinks. Recommended to come in the evening and sit outside with drinks and snacks looking at the view. They have their own Aperol which is even better than the original one. Prices are okay.

Very cosy and such a nice staff. It really had a nice atmosphere. With drinks came unlimited snacks (olives, popcorn and crackers). We had a lot of fun and the staff quickly made room for us, didn’t have to wait at all. Would recommend!

I had a fantastic time last 2 days. The staff, Raffa, Luigi and the girl were the best! They were so friendly, and generally gave me a nice time. The cocktails were also of an incredible level, I will definitely be back!

Breakfast Order came 40% right, part never arrived and what arrived wasn’t really what was ordered. A guy at a nearby table even lost an ounce of blood over a cup of coffee. 1/10 At night the same place was good 4/5
