B:free bar is truly the best thing ever!
We found out about it at Tripadvisor and decided to give it a chance. And, maan, we were not dissapointed!!
The bar is actually very quiet and intimate, although pictures posted here and at the other sites make it look very flashy and glitzy. It has two very small floors, both of them are perfect for chill-out
The aperitivo is veeery nice, easily one of the best in Milano - a lot of hord-d'ouevres to choose from.
There were so many cocktails that we were a bit puzzled at first...I decided to go for a Long Island, family members - Mojito and B-52 shot. All of them were made to perfection, I've never had such a strong Long Island before =)
The barman - Milo - is truly a master of his job. The way he prepares cocktails ("flying bottles" style, like some other person mentioned here), the way he treats his customers....everything about him is just great!
There were not many guests that night(Sunday lol), so Milo offered us some free drinks - Mojito Shot, lemon drop and a molecular cocktailwith some passion fruit! All of them were on the house - unbelievably interesting and tasty =)
As a conclusion, I must say that b:free is easily one of the best bars in the world....The atmosphere is just great and very calm, the cocktails are 100% perfect, the barman Milo truly know his work! And the prices are very reasonable! 10 out of 10 :)

I love is this bar: They have a big list with many good drinks. Therefore, you can try every time another cocktail and it always has a really individual, special flavour.
If I am with friends I often bring them to this bar. They always liked it and appreciated the quality of the drinks.
Come here and enjoy, you don`t will get disappointed!

Myself and my boyfriend searched high and low for this place as it was the most talked about cocktail bar in Milan , the service was fantastic and would highly recommend trying the molecular cocktails as they are beautiful , the barman was very talented and makes the place as successful as it is !!

Visited this small restaurant on trip with my twin to Milan. The minute we entered the premises the atmosphere was electric. Family run business where everyone is made welcome. Small fabulous dishes available throughout the day served very quickly for busy lunch goers and also allowed a leisurely experience with bottle of wine if you wish. We loved it. Food fab and family fantastic.

Heard of the bar while looking up places to go in Milan. Saw the recent good reviews and thought we would give it a go. It has the Biggest list of cocktails I have ever seen, I had trouble choosing! The molecular cocktails are awesome, something so different to what I've seen. It is only a small place but there is room outside or a small upstairs area as well. Definitely visit this place even if it's just for one cocktail. Nothing wrong with something different.

Visited b:free cocktail bar on a recent visit to Milan. We visited during happy hour and ordered two cocktails and were given two plates of complimentary tapas which was a nice touch
Bar Staff were nice and polite and the quality of the cocktails were good.
Large menu of cocktails to suit any taste.
Worth a visit for a treat.

We went looking for a cocktail and a quick bite to eat, and found great value at this bar - €9 for a delicious cocktail (I got the Jamaican Julep, my friend got the Long Beach and the passion fruit caprioska) and a massive plate of tapas each. So good, go there if you're on a budget!

Nice modern interior and good atmosphere. Its not a big bar but it didn't need to be. I went on a Sunday night so it was rather quiet, but I guess that is a good thing.
The bar tender I believe his name was Melo, a Slovakian was a very very nice guy. Very friendly and spoke 4 languages. He invented the cocktails and shots and they were amazing. 10euros for a cocktail is not at all bad well worth the value.
The drinks were very creative and very nice to drink, definitely one of the highlights of my time in Milan.
If you are of age it is well worth a visit.

Dear Brian,
from Piazza Duca d'Aosta walk down via Napo Torriani for approx. 750m, till you cross via San Gregorio. Turn left on via San Gregorio till you cross via Lecco, turn right on via Lecco and you're arrived!
It's less than a kilometer, you can easily get there walking.
Thank you for contacting us,
b:free staff.
