Milkboy

The experience I had here, drinking a dark and stormy with the windows wide open on a gorgeous spring day in Philly, is what 5 star dreams are made of. I am excited to go back and try out more of the food items, but the bar is well-priced and they have a fantastic happy hour. This part of South will surely have a bit more foot traffic now that Jim's is back open, and Milkboy is a fab part of this re-renaissance.They have a great upstairs space here that hosts everything from comedy to cover bands, and you can't beat the vibes in the bar space as well. The bar staff here was accommodating, speedy, kind, and helpful during my visit, and I look forward to the next time I get to stop by.

Abby was our bartender and she's amazing! I was indecisive on getting the Philly cheesesteak from milk boy or Jim's across the street so I got both. They're both great. Can't go wrong. We went on open mic night. Great vibes.

Before a show at the theater of living arts, my friends and I stumbled across MilkBoy to get a drink and have dinner beforehand! MilkBoy is only a couple minute walk from the theater, and we actually had a view of the theater from where we were seated! Seating is pretty limited at MilkBoy, with a couple two person tables and bar seating on the first floor, and one larger table along with a bar and a couple two person tables on the second floor. My group seated ourselves at the larger table situated right below a TV playing Jurassic park on repeat and we scanned the QR code to access the menu.For drinks, we got the purple rain, citrus sinatra, watermelon cooler high, lancaster amber, and sweet child o lime for our first round. All the cocktails had fun names and we were reasonably priced, especially given the portion! For food, we ordered the chicken quesadillas, fried chicken sandwich, MilkBoy burger, and cauliflower cheesesteaks. Although the quesadillas are considered a starter, they were definitely enough for an entree and were very dense. The cauliflower cheesesteak was also very filling, and both my friend and I were unable to finish our fries. For our second round of drinks, we got chocolate pretzel shots, a green tea shot, and an espresso martini. The chocolate pretzel shot was sweet but nothing about its taste resembled a chocolate pretzel. One of my friends compared it to a maraschino cherry and loved it. Overall, the MilkBoy is a great casual place for a drink and food! My only complaint was that it was very dark, so it was difficult to see our food. However, the service was great and we loved our waitress!

I think the best things about this place are the location and having outdoor seating. You can sit outside, enjoy the weather and people watch in an interesting Philly location (there is a lot to see near South street). The food is regular fare, nothing memorable (except for the appetizer quesadilla that was definitely entree sized) or special, ok price. The drinks are a little hit or miss (my sister had to return a drink once because it seemed the mix proportions were off)...my margarita was fine. The service is relatively quick, servers are polite but not overly attentive or nice. And they accept cards (some of the surrounding places are cash only).I would definitely come back if I was on south street and needed something low key.

Amazing Chai-tini's! Wonderful service! Great spot that we randomly found while sightseeing. Will come back!

The service was rude to begin with. We had some basic menu questions that were met with an unnecessary attitude from our server. During our meal, the bartender picked a fight with an unhappy customer, calling her a, "dickhead". This resulted in drinks being thrown and glasses being broken. The unhappy customer left and returned with her boyfriend who was carrying a gun. The bartender kept antagonizing the angry customer which was incredibly foolish and put every patron and employee at risk. Milkboy, you're lucky we paid for our bill and left a tip.

Lovely bar with great atmosphere. Plenty of specials on the calendars. The fried pickles were a great piece of bar food to snack on before going to a concert at TLA across the street. It's a perfect spot to hit before and after a concert at TLA. The bartenders were all friendly and attentive, but not to an overbearing degree. Definitely going to come back.

Didn't even know they had a location at 4th and South Streets. I was in the area with a friend today and it was lunch time so we stopped in. We were the only people when we walked in. The waitress was nice. We ordered and our food didn't take long to come out. I ordered the nachos. They were ok but something on them was sweet. I prefer my nachos to be savory. My fiend got a cheesesteak of which I took a bite and it was good! We also split waffle fries and Brussels sprouts. There was seating at the bar and about four high top tables. I'd go back and get a cheesesteak!

3.5I had a business partner flying in from Peru who was interested in a cheesesteak and he chose the Milkboy. OK, random, but it was a nice walk from my office and he was paying for lunch, so I was in.We were there for close to three hours between having lunch and talking, and overall, it was a nice experience. Music was a little loud, and the screaming ambulances and random crazy homeless person was entertaining since the huge windows were open to the street.My drink was accidentally spilled not more than a minute or two after it was placed on the table, and there was no offer to replace it. Bummer.I did order a cheesesteak - Oh my gosh! It was small and mighty, with big chunks of grilled onions (I liked it) and whatever cheese they used nicely melted in together. The bread roll was seeded. They use excellent freshly shaved rib eye and the quality was unexpected. Definitely pricy at $14.

I went to Milkboy on a Friday from 5-6 mainly to see a friend play some covers, but got so much more than that out of my experience. When we arrived, we noticed that there were only 2 and 4 tops available. It's extremely difficult to get 1 kid to sit at one of these tables, and we brought 2 of them. Thankfully, one of the staff jumped into action and set up a table on the sidewalk so we could keep the kids comfortable and enjoy some food. We ordered everything on the happy hour menu. Yes, everything. We got the Brussels, French fries, buns, chips and guacamole and also got a burger to add to the list. There was a rep for one of the beer companies that milkboy uses, and the rep was buying the first round so the wife got a free drink to go with the meal. The food came really quickly, which is a must when you got 2 kids bugging you every second. Everything was hot and yummy. Both kids loved the Brussels. Super crispy and flavorful! The burger was also perfectly cooked and juicy. I didn't try the buns, but my wife and toddler gobbled them down. Happy hour is definitely the way to go when you're bringing the family out for dinner. Our whole meal, thanks to the rep was under $40! Milkboy for the win.
