Discover Backdoor 43, a pocket-sized Navigli bar with a bartender tucked behind a wooden door. Squeeze into the cosy room and sip custom cocktails made to match your taste.

📖

Full description

Backdoor 43 is a micro-bar on the Navigli canal area where the bartender works from behind a small wooden door, and reviewers joke that the restroom is larger than the bar itself. Guests reserve a timeslot, which keeps the experience intimate, and the bartenders are noted for building custom drinks around personal tastes.

The whiskey-bar atmosphere is cosy and unhurried, and a terrace nearby lets visitors soak up the canal-side scene. A short, memorable stop suited to couples and curious drinkers.

Reviews

Came here for the second time in a week. Love the cozy atmosphere and the whiskey bar vibes. The bartenders have been great coming up with custom drinks to match our tastes. Would come here any time we’re in Milan. You must make a reservation, but it’s worth it.
