Bar Standard / Milk Bar / Red Room

Here, the vibe lands right away. Dark but friendly. Playful yet ritualistic. You know when a room feels like it understands you, or at least your shoes. With an alley entrance off 1037 N Broadway, it feels tucked away on purpose, like a diary with a false back.

You can confirm the address, entrance, and hours on the venue’s own feed, which stays current and useful, like a little lighthouse for night folk who dislike guesswork: Milk Bar on Instagram.

The drive-thru, for example, became a welcome update for mornings on the go, while extended opening hours let people drop by whenever they need a caffeine fix.
