Bar Picchio

Milan


It’s an old-man bar with oodles of charm: think ’70s interior, vintage prints and a whole lot of laminate. During the day, you'd never believe this is one of the most popular bars in Porta Venezia, but weekend nights attract a younger, alternative crowd, who come for the cheap drinks, easy times and old-school authenticity.
