Came here because Ale house was way too loud. This place is clearly a college type hang. Decorated for the holidays is fun in a cheesy way. Chelsea is a cool bartender.

Amazing time on Tuesday. My husband and I are from out of town. The DJ/security guard Neo was amazing playing my favorite hits. The bartender was awesome too. Will definitely be back when we are in town.

Charged my card over twice on different transactions. I took pictures of my receipts so good thing I had those. Disputed with my bank.

Racist bouncer turned me away for “ripped jeans” although he let four others in right before, smiling while saying it.

Bouncer outside the bar is incredibly racist, There were 10 of us 5 of which had rips in their jeans. They then proceeded to tell the only POC with ripped jeans he could not go in due to the jeans and did it with a smile on his face.

I went here on a Saturday night (7/27/24) with my friend, who had never been out on Glenwood South before and I was excited to show her one of my favorite bars. I had always liked Milk and I had even worked there before two times as a bartender. When we went in, we were both sober and patient and polite; we were continuously ignored by the bartender(s), especially this guy named Matt who is a manager who kept serving the crowd in front of us who had several rounds already, while not asking us if we were interested in even ONE drink. It felt incredibly embarassing and disrespectful.
I also used to work at the restaurant that connects to this bar as well as the other spots next door. They still ignored me and my friend as if we are nothing.
It's also ironic and illustrates the bartender's character that he ignored us because he and his large family are loud and demanding and frequent our place of work quite often, and yet we always serve them with the utmost promptness and respect, while he and his establishment ignored me and my friend for 15 minutes straight. This was my first time out on Glenwood in over two years. I would never go back or recommend this spot to anyone.

They literally ignored me and my friend for 15 minutes. I even used to fill in here for work. The bartender working also comes into our place of work with his loud wife and kids where we treat them amazing, yet he had the audacity to not even ask us if we wanted even one drink. Wild.
I'd never go back or recommend to another friend or coworker

So this place stereotypes men with camo shorts on. They assume because a man has on camo shorts that they intended to cause trouble. How is this any different if a woman wears a camp dress or skirt. Or if someone that is part of a fraternity is trying to get in?
Needs new management and security. The way things are being operated is very unprofessional.

Why hasnt the owner addressed any of the several reviews about aggressively rude staff and blatant discrimination? Seems like Milk Bar is purely thriving off of being in a college town where theyll find enough customers just looking to get drunk. Make these reviews seen and heard in real life because there shouldn't be a decades worth of the same problem. Bouncers come and go. The owner is the constant issue. There are enough bars nearby to make the decision easier to choose somewhere else to go if people could see these reviews before they stepped into this place. Also, you will be surprised by what your representatives can and will help with. Their political careers literally depend on hearing out their constituents, especially during election year. Discriminatory business practices is an important issue.

This is what happened last night from my POV. I have been Banned from Downtown Raleigh bars for one year.
So go support small businesses tonight on the outskirts of Raleigh if you can.
Who ever the owners are of downtown Raleigh that was a bad move Little gs.
Keep it cool and don’t fight anyone just go about your night but this is my angle. So let them say whatever they want about me.
The End. video Tomorrow

Had a blast dancing a Saturday night away. It is definitely a majority college aged crowd but there were a few millennials in there with me dancing away! No cover on the night we went.

Evidently the bouncers do not know that Puerto Rico is part of America. Bouncer would not accept our friend’s valid, unexpired, Puerto Rican license because it wasn’t “American” despite PR literally being part of America. He wouldn’t even attempt to scan it because he was so convinced of his ignorance that it was a “foreign ID”.Truly one of the dumbest interactions I’ve ever witnessed. I wasn’t going to read too much into it and just attribute it to overwhelming ignorance, but all the other complaints of discriminatory behavior by bouncers makes me think this was something more sinister.
