Lauren handled the bar! Great drinks and music! Lauren the bartender was so pleasant and handled the crowd so well even fixed a drink that was too sweet for me that I ordered ???

Tried to double charge mine and my sisters card after a few drinks. They can answer to my husband and brothers this weekend.

If you like white supremacy and employees adding money to your tip on their own, this is your place.

They double charge you if you pay with your card and leave a cash tip. Multiple people have had this problem. Straight up thieves.

Milk Bar has to be the most discriminative establishment in Raleigh. Countless ppl give similar stories and these are not just African Americans that share these stories.. I would never go to this place or

Definitely a bar for ratchet college kids, which can be fun every once in a while, but creates a pretty toxic environment and clientele - I don't generally recommend it. The floor and furniture is always sticky, the drinks are pricey, and the service is mediocre.

Do not recommend this place as it can be a luck of a draw when it comes to your experience. Recently, I had an experience where I felt unsafe by a few of the bouncers who work here by their lack of actions and respect. Some of the bouncers are great and do their job and are very helpful. I just happened to encounter some that weren't. I believe there are people in this building who are very discriminatory towards race and/or sexuality. For these reasons, I will no longer come to this place moving forward.

We had great service but, unfortunately, I was charged for more than what I ordered. Somehow 3 drinks turned into over $40. When I called to try and clarify, I was sent to voicemail (3 separate times). I also tried messaging on Facebook and have not received any help. Very disappointing and frustrating!

Do not come here if LGBT. Went in a group of 6 and they refused to let in one of my friends because they didn’t have sleeves. Three of us who are female presenting had already walked in without any. As soon as my friend trying to get in (male presenting) they were told they violated the dress code. We had no such problem at any other place on Glenwood. This dress code is a way for them to discriminate against who they choose and based on other reviews they use for racist purposes as well. Do not go here.
Avoid this place if you’re a part of the LGBT community! My friends and I visited on a Saturday night, and we were all allowed inside the bar except for one of us. My friend who was denied entry is a masculine presenting person who was dressed in feminine clothing. The security guard said they weren’t allowed in because their shirt had no sleeves, despite the fact that I and 2 of my other friends were wearing strappy dresses also with no sleeves. It was clear there is discrimination in how the security chooses to enforce the so-called dress code here, and according to other reviews, my friend is not the only person this has happened to. I also want to note that the owner has responded to another similar review by saying that this dress code applies to all other clubs on Glenwood, yet milkbar is the only place that did not let us enter. Will never return here and would recommend others to do the same. Blatant discrimination has no place in 2023!

Homophobic. That's it, this place is awful. Went with a larger group of people and only one of us was turned away because they "didn't have sleeves" although three of us were wearing dresses that did not have any sleeves. My friend that was turned away is masculine presenting and was wearing purple leather pants and a green tank top. It was very obvious the bouncer was simply discriminating based on how my friend presents themself and the clothes they wear. If you're a part of the lgbtq+ community DO NOT GO HERE IT IS NOT SAFE!

Visited both during the day and at night and had an amazing experience both times! Meeting Chelsea and listening to her advice and suggestions about nightlife in Raleigh made our trip one to remember!
