Milly’s

Cocktail Bar and Restaurant

Inspired by the historic charm and character of the the Bedstudy neighborhood in Brooklyn, the design concept takes inspiration from the iconic arches prominently featured in nearby residential buildings. These architectural elements are a signature of the area’s heritage and serve as a key influence in shaping the bar’s aesthetic. The arches have been carefully and creatively reinterpreted within the back bar design, forming a striking focal point that seamlessly blends a sense of familiarity with a contemporary twist. This thoughtful reinterpretation captures the essence of the neighborhood’s architectural history while introducing a refreshing perspective.
