The owner KP is awesome. Drinks were served quickly and the staff is super friendly. The owner is from the area and cares about the community. He regularly donates to local charities and hosts events at the bar. I will always go support this bar when I am in town.

I went to The Milk Bar in Raleigh on 5/6/25 and had such a great time! The music and vibes were on point, and they even had beer pong, which made the night even more fun. It’s a perfect spot to hang out with friends, kick back, and enjoy the energy.
They also have a cool little area to flick up and grab some pics, so it’s definitely Instagram-worthy if that’s your thing.
If you’re looking for a chill and fun bar in Raleigh, definitely check this place out—I’ll be back for sure!

Visited Milkbar recently during the weekday for a girly catch-up. Heard it was under new management. Very good open airy space, music and service were great. Highly recommend it.

We had girls night this weekend and we were charged an extra $5 tip without permission (on both cards). I have noticed that the last couple of visits here the bartenders and atmosphere a bit lackluster to say the least. After this weekend we will not be dropping by and will let other's know to be aware of credit card fraud. Keep the tip!!! You earned it!

We had a private event for my son’s engagement. The Milk Bar is where they had their first date. KP and the amazing staff did an outstanding job! Everything was top notch! I highly recommend this establishment!

They don’t even understand how badly they’re in the hole. Is doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand they’re so deep in the hole under new ownership. And to understand… after years of having young life show up to their bar. That the ones that are funding their whole operation are people that visit on a Monday; Sunday Friday.. so the moment they have criticism they up and get a regular of 4 years picked up out of their seat and bruise them into submission. Next time a regular of 4 years is non confrontational and gets beat up by 5 people. Let them know it’s a premier place to be in DTr.

Came on a Saturday. I was patiently waiting in line for a drink just like everyone else. I literally didn’t say a word to the bartender (short stocky Latino looking fella). I just smiled everytime he looked my way. For some reason this triggered him into translating that as me rushing him. He comes to me and says “you see this line? That means you wait your turn until I get to you”. I was super confused as to why I was being fed such a foul attitude when I wasn’t rushing anyone. So unfortunate that this establishment hires such rude and unprofessional bartenders. I never went back again.

Well it is good to see this is as Mediocre as I remember. But I will say I do like their new bar tops. So there's a positive.

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.
