| Last reviewed: May 2026 At roughly four square metres, Backdoor 43 bills itself as the world's smallest bar: a tiny apothecary-styled room on the canal that you book by the hour, entering with a key and password, or buy cocktails from through a hatch. Behind the gimmick is a seriously made drinks list and real craft. An intimate, only-in-Milan craft-cocktail experience.
