The cocktails here have never disappointed.
Awesome that they have the kitchen window with terrific snacks.
Hella loud because it’s a pretty narrow and hoppin’ place but if you can sit with the high decibel level, it’s worth the tasty craft drinks.

My sister and I stopped in on a Saturday night when the line for Heavy Feather was down the block. Spilt Milk has the low lighting and comfy seating you want in a cocktail bar. It wasn’t overly crowded, but had a good energy and mix of ages. The music is a little loud, but that‘s probably just be me being a crotchety 30-something. As the night went on, they threw a few indie-pop songs into the mix and I was a happy camper. The bartenders were nice and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be back to check out their food and patio!

We often come here for the amazing food pop up, but on this day I was picking up carry out with my brother. We’re waiting for our food on a busier than normal night (out of the way by the back door) when a guy came up to us very aggressively demanding to see our IDs. (I’m 31 and my brother is 25) he was extremely hostile, yelling and accusatory out of nowhere. My brother is visibly on the spectrum and I assume this is because he didn’t want him in his bar. It was a busy place and not a single person was being asked for ID but us. We were not drinking, we are of age and just picking up carry out. I was flooded not knowing how to explain he has downs but is older without making my brother feel publicly shamed since this guys yelling drew attention. This was blatant ABLEST behavior. We were all uncomfortable. My family was visiting from out of the city and I felt bad bringing them to a place that would treat them in such a way.

Yesterday 10/12/2024 was my second time this month going to (Spilt Milk) establishment. I've been going to this venue for around 6 years off and on. I just recently started drinking alcohol again after a 3 month hiatus of body cleansing. However, Yesterday when I came into their bar I was purposely being avoided by the bartending staff specifically the 2 males on staff. The tall white male passed me several times, looking in my direction with slight displeasure and not saying anything. He then proceeded to go to the back. The other gentleman decided to start cleaning drinking glasses while being a mere foot away from me. The young lady that was on the staff saw that I was waiting to be helped but the gentleman that went to the back came out stopped her at the register and proceeded to come towards me, he passed me again, then finally came back visibly upset and disgruntled and stated to me that he'll make my drink this time, but that wait for it...... I can not just pay for my drink and not leave a tip like last night 10/11/2024. The night before I was served by a white male and the young woman that was working this night as well. I thought he was joking given the fact he was extremely upset and said that without any consideration to his surroundings. Imagine being the only African American male in a venue with 90% Caucasian Americans and having this level of hostility being displayed to you. I then asked a question is this how he engage all customers regarding tips. His response was normally everyone tips so he doesn't address them in this matter. He never address if this is how he or the staff would address non tipping patrons you know (Caucasians). Before he could finish my drink I left. Who would stay when you feel that you've been racially profiled, discriminated against, offered reprehensible customer service because of a tip. When I first start coming here 6 years ago, I use to carry cash and would tip with that. I then switched over to electronic tipping, however when I used to write a tip on the merchant receipt they would never charge for the tip. I did this several times. Until one day I asked a female bartender why don't they charge my card for the tip that I write on the receipt. Her response was that the staff could only charge for the drinks that was displayed on the receipt nothing more, and that if I wanted to tip unfortunately it would have to be cash. I told her that I don't carry cash she stated that it was okay as long as I paid for the drinks that I order, everything is fine. If the establishments policy or point of sale has changed to allow electronic tipping, color me surprised I was never made aware of that and that could be because of the widely varied service I receive whenever I go there. 50 % of the time I'll get acknowledged and served in 5 mins other times 10 to 15 mins. I walked out once because it was past 15 mins and I was never even acknowledged. I'm a Store Manager that works for a storage facility company. We preach customer service and how thats essential to getting and retaining our customers rather if they're wonderful or difficult we strive to give consistent and educational customer service. If one of my staff members ever tried to blackmail a customer stating they wouldn't rent to them unless they gave our location a five star google review which is one of our KPI metrics. That is a final write up or grounds for termination. Your job is to use your customer service skills to get the customer to give you that review and if not them their will always be more opportunities. Getting a certificate that allows you to make and serve drinks, doesn't equate to great and engaging customer service. For all the DEI talk I hear in the media directed towards minorities, I would expect top service from the majority group in America. I usually come in there to get my favorite drink called chestnut. Despite all the poor service I go there because they our the only bar that makes it. However if this is the level of discrimination to be expect

went for family meal Monday which would have been an awesome experience but for some reason everyone I encountered there from staff to the customers were the rudest meanest nastiest people I have ever met. I have no explanation for it. Maybe because I was a girl alone? I was taken aback by how insanely rude everyone there was, no idea what it was about this place but I’ve never experienced anything like this, and probably won’t go back. Somehow the worst people I’ve ever met in Chicago all ended up in this bar on a Monday night
packed on weekend but good service and above average cocktails

I had a great time here, but I don’t understand the name. What is Split Milk supposed to be? Half and half? Is it frozen milk split with an axe? Real nice place, but I don’t get what Split Milk is.
Edit: It has come to my attention that the name of the place is Spilt Milk. Service was slow.

The drinks were amazing, and the door bouncer was great. However, the bald bouncer who yelled at us while I was assisting my slightly intoxicated boyfriend was unhelpful and created an unnecessarily hostile environment. While the overall experience was great, the actions of this particular bouncer tarnished it at the end. I understand the need to manage intoxicated patrons, but there are appropriate ways to handle such situations, and he clearly lacked the proper manners. This behavior reflects poorly on Spilt Milk due to his rude customer service. Sad. You lost 2 locals.
