It's pretty hard to find a bar in Milan that serves Craft beer and looks to have good food. In need…read moreof some real food, I opted to have a burger in Italy. The burger, the surf and turf was good. Lots of crayfish bursting out. Overall, it was a decent burger but I'm not sure whether the beef or the fish was the star and thus the burger while tasted good didn't shine. What did shine were the chips/crisps. It's a large order to share and it tastes delicious. The beer though, was a good selection. One thing is I had to ask for the bar menu. Perhaps they just assumed I'd be happy with looking at the taps. The service, informative, polite, patient, though not overly friendly. I'd go again if not just for the beer and chips.

Although appreciative of the abundance of wine we had experienced at the local restaurants, BQ was a wonderful taste of Italian brew on tap. Definitely a relaxing beer place. They have a great selection of burgers that looked beautiful when served. Had a quick panini as we had to get back to MiCo. The wait staff gave great selections of local Italian stout and IPA. Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful beer. If you are looking for a nice Italian pub and are in the area, a stop at BQ is an imperative.

Its fine.. honestly not what I had expected from the pictures. But as an out-of-towner, I really…read morehad no idea. This is in a mall and fairly close to a food court. It is relatively small and seats maybe 30 people inside with a handful of those at the bar. I got a burger as I really wanted some 'american' food. It was a bit undercooked, but edible.. It ended up being more of a mess of toppings and such than anything. The beer was decent (goose island possibly?) but the normal European temperature :) Overall, not bad if you're in a pinch.. but I'm sure there are better placed, they were just tough to find.

Great bar with amazing selection of beers!…read more I think this is not a typical Milano bar setting, I think this is quite a unique bar. We found it great! They take beer serious in this place! All people sit, there is no standing at the bar so the place was almost full when we found a place. Most chairs are along long tables and this creates a nice atmosphere. This place is were friends meet and discuss, couples sit and talk..... and everybody drinks beer. There are literaly hundreds of beers available. Chalkboards are filled with more or less exotic brands and names and the beer tap has around twenty draught beers which are brewn by the BQ microbrewery. We tried only a few of the different brews and we really liked them. Just try one or two and let the enthousiastic bartender explain some typical differences, like all the different herbs they use. The only thing we did not really like was the smell of the rather fatty food they serve, like fries and burgers.

Stumbled upon this place while strolling around one the canals in Milan. I was wrong to assume that…read moreItalian beers we're going to be as boring as some of the ones I had tried before. Luckily BQ exists and they proved me to be very wrong. It would be an understatement to say they have a very good selection of craft beers. These brews are so darn good and well balanced that they give Belgian and German beers a run for their money. If you're in town and want to sip on something different than wine, swing by BQ. The only downside is that the place is quite small, but that wouldn't stop me from going back if ever in Milan again. Wish these guys would open up a place in NYC.

With highish hopes, we came here on a Thursday night for a late dinner & good beer. It's located in…read morean industrial area across from the train tracks on a long one-way street. That is, if you pass it or don't find parking out front, you'll have to circle the solar system to get back to it. Once there, the place was cool, not too busy, with a touch of accidental hipster separated in 2: the brewery part near the entrance with picnic tables in a courtyard & the dining part inside playing a variety of American oldies & not so oldies. The menu is limited, even the beer list as they seem to only serve their own brews, with some apps & a selection of American wanna-be modern BBQ joint choices. The service was not terrible & they had a handy brochure explaining all their beers which were mostly crossed out because they were out. We ordered 2 different beers one of which was warm & the other just cool but not beer-cold. Beer needs to be served cold, otherwise don't serve it. It's especially unforgivable when it happens at a brewery. I mean, you had 1 job! (Gratuitous complaint: the 2 bearded beertenders we watched served up beer from the taps all night, giving more head than a...well you get it. They never tilted one glass & waited for each completely foam-filled pint to settle before slowly repeating the same mistaken process every time. I mean, 7+inches of head?! Really?! It was insane. see photos) We ordered the pulled pork sandwich which had fantastic slow cooked flavor but was dry & not hot. We also ordered the BBQ chicken. It was more of a tasty rub than sauce & was cold with some parts probably too undercooked to be safe to eat. The house made fries were fresh, hot & delicious. The coleslaw had all the correct dry ingredients with a sweet mystery dressing that was not traditional. I'm still unsure if the departure from real American BBQ cooking was deliberate or a case of mistaken foodentity. Although I feel like they messed up the opportunity to be a reeeally good thing, I'll reluctantly return because the neighborhood doesn't have a lot of other options & at some point in the summer bea I'd like to enjoy an ice-cold brewsky in that courtyard. BYOIce if course.
