    Lovely cute tiny bar. Love the ambience. Its like a hidden gem. Will definitely come back

  • Review 2 (2022-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of the last true dive bars in the neighborhood. The staff are lovely, the ambience is perfect. Always visit here when Im back home. They dont have a bar menu (other than chips) but theyre cool if you order food from elsewhere. Rolling Rock + Well Shot is a good deal. Its on the dark side inside but if youre with company or befriend the bartender youll have a wonderful time.

    Best historic dive bar in New York City!No frills!Milanos is an intimate dime lit hidden gem. With cheap drinks and friendly staff along with a alternative style decor with cool memorabilia, Great music this place will always come to mind when I need a drink in New York City,Located in lower Manhattan,Will always recommend Milanos barGrab a shot and a beer, it’s the best combo on the menu

    Awesome dive bar. Chemlight and neon mood. Good drinks. Juke box tunes. As narrow as a coffin - perfect!

  • Review 6 (2024-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    Old really old awesome little bar. If you dont know it you will walk right by it. Awesome close quarters old school bar. From the 1880s...

  • Review 7 (2022-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Since 1880.Not sure how to convey sufficiently the ongoing warmth and welcoming spirit of this bar — so well loved and revered that it stands here this day, as warm and as safe a space for ALL, as ever I’ve had the blessed fortune to witness.Ask for Alex He rocks.

  • Review 8 (2024-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    We had drinks in this wonderful bar. It was most cozy, relaxed and nicely worn. The service was ok, though there was only the bartender thus you had to wait for the drinks. The location is perfect after dinner in SoHo. The music was not played too loud - you could discuss there. The pricing was moderate. We could come back.

  • Review 9 (2024-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Fun spot, the bartender and the local regulars were a lot of fun. Great local hometown spot to have a drink and just chill. They def made us felt welcomed and we had a great evening with everyone we met that evening.

    Spent many an afternoon here in the 90s enjoying pints of Guinnes with friends. Moved from NYC, but returned on Wednesday 4/10 to drink with a friend. Amazing to find that the music, pints and friendly atmosphere and service hadnt changed.

    Great hole in the wall place. Super honest pricing - pint of draft was $6!!!! In this part of town!!Great bartender, good chat. Would defo come back if in the hood.Take care, brush your hair!

    Small, dark, with good rock music and fellows that look like they just left the full throttle game... great bar. Great ambiance, friendly staff, really worth knowing this place.

    One of the best dive bars in NYC

    Great hole-in-the-wall dive bar, with easy access to trains and friendly staff.

  • Review 18 (2022-12-30 - Rating: 4)

    Great dive but with exceptionally clean toilets! Great jukebox, cheerful (and cute!) bartender and cheap cocktails (for NY, at $7). Not strong cocktails unfortunately but definitely overall a cheap and cheerful place.

  • Review 19 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Really nice little dive bar with good ambience and an affordable beer menu. The bartender was really attentive, friendly and funny. Service was really good. Would definitely go back. Had no trouble finding a seat on a busy Saturday night.

  • Review 20 (2018-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best bars Ive been to in NYC !!

  • Review 21 (2017-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Cheapish drinks with nice bartenders and good music. Nice atmosphere but most of all a little cramped

  • Review 22 (2022-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Jackie made us feel so at home! If you love a good dive bar friendly regulars, you’ll have an amazing time here. Will be stopping by every time I visit NYC moving forward!

  • Review 23 (2023-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    If you are lucky enough to go during the day shift, they have a bartender that is as good as they come - Keith is the name. Great stories and top notch service!

  • Review 24 (2024-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Its the quintessential dive bar. Cheap drinks with 2 TVs. Shot and a beer specials.

  • Review 25 (2024-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. To me, its THE divebar in NYC.

  • Review 26 (2018-06-07 - Rating: 4)

    Had a blast. Even though we werent unruly and werent causing a problem, other than almost drinking them out of 16oz high life, we almost got cut off because they hadnt experienced a group that could drink that much and felt like we should slow down or stop..... We kept the party going though. Bottom line great crowd and locals, super fun dive.

  • Review 27 (2024-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    Classic NYC dive bar. No frills, just good boozy times.

  • Review 28 (2019-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    Best dive bar 🙌 got to drink at 10:30 AM, bartender was attentive and engaging. Place is TINY, but good cold beer and definitely filled with odd characters and people watching!

  • Review 29 (2017-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great old style bar. Cheap beer and the bartenders are super friendly. Met one of the leaseholders and had a great chat too. Fun hangout without having to deal with stuck up attitude.

    I was in New York on vacation a couple of years ago with some friends and this place is by far the best bar in town!!!!! Looking forward to go back!Cheers from Buenos Aires!!!

  • Review 31 (2024-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    We LOVED this place. Such a hidden gem!!!! The bar tender was so so nice and the vibes of the place were great. Definitely recommend for a night out or definitely a pregame spot at least!

  • Review 32 (2019-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    One of the last old school bars in the area.Iconic. Real feel .orginal nyc bar. Small and quaint...great place to stop in for a cold oneI was disappointed that they stopped serving Shaffer . Ive been going there for 25 years now . Not sure how much longer it will hang on. So try to stop In Before it disappears

    The best Dive Bar in the city!!!I love this place. You can go early in the morning and late at night!!! Is the perfect paradise of the drinkers!!! Its wonderful!!!!

  • Review 35 (2014-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    I came in here alone after catching up with a friend who works at a nearby start-up in Soho (haha, surprise, surprise) and needed a place where I could kill about 2-3 hours as I waited for some other friends to meet me for happy hour catch-up drinkie poos. I wasnt looking for a pretentious bar, just something that wasnt going to break the bank and whos booze selection would satisfy my palate.I left here with 3 new friends and yes, one of them was the bartender who was one of the sweetest female bartenders Ive ever met and Im absolutely kicking myself for not being able to recall her name (my gut says it began with a J, but MAN, I cannot remember for the life of me!).Milanos is a dark and gritty divey bar that manages to make you feel as if NYC hasnt completely lost its 90s character. After having sat there alone, made friendsies with the 2 gruff men next to me, not at all having been hit on or disrespected and watching the female bartender attend to everyone efficiently and without pretense, flirting or any sort of sugarcoating I felt that this was going to become my home away from home now that this was also my new work neighborhood.This place is also way cooler than anything that my old work neighborhood of Colombus Circle/Hells Kitchen has to offer if youre just looking for a place to throw a few back and call it a day. She even charged my iPhone at the bar which was awesome because my battery was so low that I couldnt even power my phone on... #FirstWorldProblemsIf I remember correctly (cuz yanno - oy!), the happy hour here really just meant $1 off all beers and well drinks. While this may not be the worlds best happy hour, the prices here are so low - especially given their location, I mean SOHO pffffffft - that happy hour prices arent even really required here.For about $6 I ordered a tall boy of PBR and it came with a house whiskey shot - and NO the house whiskey was actually NOT bad. Not bad at all folks. For $6 I was totally put in my happy place :). The guy next to me also sprung to order Chinese food and even paid for my steamed pork dumplings order - which also happened to be the BEST STEAMED PORK DUMPLINGS IVE EVER HAD FROM A FAST-FOOD CHINESE PLACE. For serious. Thin wrappers much? Delicious flavorful pork? Yep.MAN, I wish I knew the name of the place we ordered from! Lol. Oy. Come to think of it, there is a lot of I dont remember from this afternoon - which means that Milanos clearly did their job well. 5 stars for keeping it real, providing patrons with menus to order food and for having actual friendly regulars at the bar counter, I LOVE THAT. Im sure Ill definitely be back here and SOON! :D

  • Review 36 (2022-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing bar that you could easily walk by without realising it’s there. Love the ambiance, drink prices and super friendly bar tenders. Domenico and Maria were so friendly.

  • Review 37 (2017-11-22 - Rating: 5)

    Over the years, Ive been here several times. I always stop by on the way from some other place or on the way to some other place. What can I say, good to have a few drinks, hang for a little bit with friends, then move on. Its neither great nor horrible, its just a place for some drinks.

  • Review 38 (2019-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    Bring your friends or come alone. Always a fun time at Milano’s!

  • Review 39 (2023-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    If you know you know. There might be other good dive bars in NY but they all want to be Milanos.

    100% best dive in the city. bartenders are attentive, kind, easygoing and fun. anyone that walks in feels like your friend. i love that i have this spot in my rolodex!

  • Review 50 (2024-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    Good hole in the wall to grab a few beers after work. Easy pricing and kind bartenders. Gets crowded in the front by the bar which makes it hard to get in/out.

  • Review 51 (2019-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Really good food really nice atmosphere right on the lake its nice to go there and have dinner take a walk around the lake come back for a nightcap... Great place for date night

    Great little divey bar to sit and be alone at or to chat it up with other bar flies. Small, good beer and shot, friendly bartenders

  • Review 54 (2020-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    I wish we found this place a couple of weeks ago. Maria the bartender was brilliant and friendly. While chats with the locals was everything we wanted. Friendly atmosphere, well priced beers and great vibe.

  • Review 55 (2017-12-04 - Rating: 4)

    Very Relaxed atmosphere. A bit too small. JUKEBOX LIES TO YOU, don t put money in and think your taking over DJ function.

  • Review 56 (2018-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly neighborhood dive bar. Sure its small and dark, and the beer selection could be better, but the bartenders are great.

  • Review 57 (2019-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    Milano’s is the best. It could have become a tourist attraction but it is what it is. A dive bar. Don’t order drinks with more than two ingredients.

  • Review 58 (2016-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    No food. If a Fat person sits at the Bar near the door, no one can get in or out. Despite that, one of my favorite bars in NYC. Friendly and inexpensive (for manhattan)

  • Review 59 (2023-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    This is such a chill dive bar. We love when we get the chance to have off during the week and be able to day drink!!! All the bartenders we have encountered have been so nice and friendly- immediately telling us his name. I love that because it makes you feel right at home. Music is great, atmosphere is great!!! My norm speech-dive bars are not all about you- go order a few beers or simple mixed drinks, relax, have small talk with your friends or other guests and just have a nice relaxing time. No frills or expectations!!!!

  • Review 60 (2016-12-28 - Rating: 5)

    A great night with meeting new and interesting people😊 The bartender in despite of having the best day in her life, made my day😊 I will be back 😊

    No frills dive bar, which is my kind of dive bar. Small place but it opens up a little bit more once you move towards the back. The bartenders were super friendly and took a little time to chat and get to know us too since the place wasnt very crowded at the time. Not sure if they sell food dishes but snacks are available to buy from behind the bar. Im a dive bar person so if you like that vibe youll def get what youre looking for here.

    Best bartenders in the city! They represent everything of what New York is... Awesome.

  • Review 72 (2024-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    A classic, almost genre-defining dive bar. When you need a drink at 8:15am or 3:15am, this is the place. The bartenders are great, it doesn’t smell the best, and the clientele is diverse in all conceivable ways. A hold out against everything the City is becoming. Love it.

    Dive bars have always been the wifes and I favorite type of bar. Milanos is just that and in the best way possible. We happened upon this bar while visiting and were immediately smitten. The bartender was easy talking and provided some history of the bar. Great prices and cold beer are the best combination.

    If you can’t stand pretentious bars and lounges then you will love this place. The $6 beer and shot special is very welcome for the area it’s in. This is the kind of place you can come alone and have a good convo with the barkeep (who also happens to be one of the best I’ve had the privilege of serving me drinks. Very fast, very attentive, and quick with a joke)The fact this place has been around over 100 years and retains that old New York vibe my dad remembers from 70s is just icing on the cake. This place is a gem

    With all the development in the area, I was pleasantly surprised by walking into a dying breed of dive bars in the area. Beer is reasonably price and bathroom with swing doors remind me of old west.The bar is small and cozy with very attentive bartender. Patrons were all walks of life and represented all areas of NY except pretentious banker or wall street types which is good thing in my opinion.

    This place has history! We randomly came across this bar one night just strolling around and wound up staying for hours. The staff is incredible and the dive feel of the bar makes you feel at home.

  • Review 127 (2017-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    One of the oldest and recognized bars in NYC for a very good reason. If youre looking for a great dive bar with awesome bartenders, this is the spot. Go on Sundays to see the bartender Lisa, shes a gem.

    Cool little bar. Awesome patrons and loved the Scottish bartender. Good jukebox selection.

    Is there a better bar of this type in lower Manhattan? Is there ANY bar of this type left downtown? Thats the question. As narrow and dark as any dive you could hope for. And, for several reasons, not totally overrun with hipsters or worse, Upper East Side refugees from Brother Jimmys who think theyre slumming it downtown. If you want that experience, go to the Spring Lounge or even right next door, at Botanica.

    One of the few true remaining dive bars in NYC. One of the best pints of Guinness in the city in my opinion.

  • Review 150 (2018-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    Milanos is a bitchin little spot where you can drink alone in the dark or hobknob with locals, artists and eccentrics. But watch yourself boys, the lady bar tenders here will eat you for dinner if you try any of that Weinstein horseshit. Low on randos, frills and expensive booze. If youre good people, get to Milanos.

    If youre claustrophobic this is not the place for you! Checked out this tiny bar out for a quick pre-game sesh before dinner. Being from CA I was a little worried to deal w/ NY bartenders, but they were really friendly and funny. If you are looking for a pre-game spot to chill and drink for a little bit before going out, this is a good place to check out.
