In the heart of Milan’s ever-evolving Isola district, a former brewery has been transformed into something far more than a bar or restaurant. MOGO is a Hi-Fi haven, a modular event space, a listening lounge, and a dining destination, wrapped in carved wood, washed in soft light, and pulsing with curated sound.
Designed by Giorgia Longoni Studio, the 400 sqm space is centered around a 360-degree bar and an expansive, mood-adaptive ceiling. The tactile interiors feature a rich mix of carved timber, metal, washi paper, and unrefined fabrics, drawing warmth and depth into every corner. Behind the bar, a full DJ booth and a series of vivid, custom tapestries by artist Andrea Marco Corvino dial the energy up or down, depending on the hour.
But MOGO is more than aesthetic. It’s experiential. Step beyond the main room and you’ll find a hidden 600 sqm extension: a versatile, modular zone for exhibitions, performances, and creative happenings. There’s a leafy courtyard for golden-hour gatherings, and above it all, a rooftop terrace that crowns the venue with sweeping views.
The name MOGO comes from Mmogo, a Setswana word meaning “together” or “united.” That spirit of collective experience is embedded in every detail, from the handcrafted Hi-Fi sound system to the sonic programming, curated by the teams behind Milan’s Polifonic festival and the BSR community.
Music might be the soul of MOGO, but food is its grounding force. At the helm is Chef Yoji Tokuyoshi, a veteran of Bottura’s kitchen and the mind behind Bentoteca, Pan, and Katsusanderia, bringing Japanese precision and modern flair to an eclectic, all-day menu. Think business lunch bento boxes, refined aperitivo snacks, weekend brunches, and late-night bites, all rooted in Japanese culinary values of quality, authenticity, and balance.
Whether you’re coming for a midday whisky, a vinyl-deep listening session, or a sound-tracked dinner under soft lights, MOGO doesn’t just offer hospitality. It promises high fidelity, to taste, to texture, to sound, and to the social ritual of being together.
