    Milk Bar... it's a 3.5 star rating, I suppose. Ok, will round up…read more The best thing about it is they don't hassle you as bad at the door. They have multiple rooms to explore. The music is good, mostly. But you may need to hop around as it can change so much. So, wander around, you might get lost, but you'll find you way again! (or just ask! ha) Not as great, the drinks are SO weak. It's a little ridic. If I'm paying $15 or whatever for one shot and soda, please let me taste the alcohol? Like, come on! I can buy a bottle for that. Just let me taste it. Bartenders can be hit or miss. I've had some totally cool ones and some really strange ones that seem to have personality issues. Not as much lately, though, just overall in the times I've come here over a few years. Maybe the current bar manager (who introduces themselves as such when you walk in) has got it whipped more into shape. Can you just tell them to include booze in drinks?! Lol Entrance is in the back alley.

    The edge is gone folks, but more so, the heart, the soul, and the authenticity of a real…read moreunderground scene. Now the life of the party is lost like a chicken McNugget dropped in the ball pit of a McDonald's play place. What's left is a random collection of half-baked ideas by management with no understanding of a music scene whose ever-changing themes seem copied from the websites of clubs in Europe, or maybe, Alabama, who knows? Go upstairs and things are worse with a Janky wanna-be suburban gangsta DJ playing pre-recorded mixes from songs that were obviously ripped from YouTube, and shooting monopoly money from toy guns like an anamatronic rat at Chick E. Cheezy's. Anything that was truly edgy and cool has now been thrown out and replaced by pure neglect, promos slapped together by some AI they didn't even bother buying a subscription to--you know, the basic version which is completely on brand--reduced to a desperate cash grab. This is apparent as soon as you step over puddles of urine and walk in the door, and through the fake metal detector (and oh yeah, then over sand bags and puddles from sewer pipes that overflow because the owner is too cheap to invest in repairs or ensure customer safety), finally into a building that is in disrepair. Yeah, it's a vibe from a backwater dancehall in Khazakhstan but unintentionally, not so much as a place of entertainment. Almost everything, and I mean everything in the venue is old, outdated, or broken, from the ATM (you'd be crazy to trust that anyway) and arcade games, to the club rooms with broken, non-working club lights, and again pipes that drip and leak (you'll literally see buckets on the middle of the dance floor, and garbage bags draped over the DJ booths and the bar--and no, they don't sanitize after these accidents, evveeeer. The place is in disrepair and what used to be rooms with cool decor are now just generic and dirty looking as basic cleanliness is non-existent--the whole venue reeks the moment you walk in. Most worrisome is the lack of security (good luck finding anyone if you need help after you get past the door person) making the disorganized chaos feel unsafe and gross and anything but exciting. While Milk was once a cool and celebrated part of the Denver club scene up until a few years before the pandemic, the owner has obviously lost touch with reality and has no sense of loyalty to a clientele and commujity who made his clubs successful. But this has been a long time coming as Milk has been on the slow and steady decline for years. Over the last year the place has spiraled into a complete free fall with the last regular DJs pushed out and replaced by amateurs like the dude who needs a platform to stand on whose sets sound like a complication of greatest hits CDs played on random, with no theme or identity. The events and nights seem thrown together at the last minute, like you know splattered against the wall to see what will stick, but it's stinking instead. Its consistency, its soul, its relevance is gone. Most damning and reflective is the point several other reviewers have made about the vibe of sexism that exudes like the toxic masculinity that produces it from those who run this place as it's almost all male managers, DJs and bartenders, with a few women in the lowest, menial positions. And that obvious bias and grossness speaks volumes! My humble advice: save your night, your money, your self-respect and conscience choosing instead to support venues and spaces that actually know something about loyalty and principles other than greed and pettiness, which actually cares about and respects its patrons and customers.

    Absolutely Horrifying Treatment of a Disabled Customer…read more I have never experienced treatment this disturbing from a business. I went to Press Play Bar and after ordering our drinks we were walked up on by one of the bouncers saying they needed to remove the stools because the capacity starts to increase more, I explained that I have a disability that makes it difficult for me to stand for extended periods and that I needed a barstool in order for my safety and that I was only going to stay for the drink I had ordered considering I wouldn't be able to physically continue through the night without being able to sit down. Instead of accommodating my disability or even attempting to understand the situation, the person identifying himself as the "GM" ripped the barstool out from underneath me. What happened next was completely unacceptable. They grabbed my partner out of her seat without allowing us to close our tab (seems to me that they might be doing that to be stealing 20% gratuity) I was shoved by a bouncer and then the GM grabbed me by my hair and forcibly pulled me toward and up the stairs, during which my head was struck against the stairs. This happened after I had explicitly explained that I could not safely stand without the stool because of my disability. What made the situation even more intimidating was that, while I was being removed, I was confronted with gestures that appeared to me to be gang signs. Whether or not that was the intended meaning, I experienced the behavior as threatening and intimidating, especially given that I had already been physically handled and was being forced out of the establishment. I was not asking for special treatment. I was asking for a basic accommodation because I physically could not remain standing safely. To be treated this way after disclosing a disability is absolutely horrifying. Removing a stool from underneath someone who has explicitly explained that they cannot safely stand, followed by physically shoving, grabbing, and forcibly removing that person, is completely unacceptable. I strongly encourage ownership and management to take this incident seriously, preserve and review all available surveillance footage, identify the employees involved, and investigate exactly what happened. I will never return to Press Play Bar, and based on what I experienced, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone--particularly anyone with a disability who expects to be treated with BASIC dignity, safety, and respect.

    Do not come to this bar, the bouncers are incredibly abusive and use force whenever they feel like…read moreit. Witnessed them throwing around some females followed by the bouncers going outside and throwing up gang signs and harassing them some more. Got a good video and picture of both of them. Management doesn't help as the GM witnessed this behavior and thinks it's a great standard to have.

    Really disappointing experience here. My colleagues and I used to come here often back in our UNC…read moreundergrad days, but this visit has convinced me not to return. We met for drinks and everything seemed normal -- our card was taken and held at the bar all night, as usual. But when it came time to close out, a staff member suddenly accused us of possibly using a stolen or fraudulent card and demanded ID before we could pay, despite the card having been in their possession the entire evening. The staff member handling this was noticeably rude, and no one else on staff could explain why we were singled out for this treatment. Our group happened to be the only table made up entirely of people of color that night, which made the whole thing feel even more uncomfortable and hard to write off as a simple misunderstanding. I reached out to management multiple times afterward to get an explanation and never got a response, which is part of why I'm leaving this review instead. If this is a result of new management or a policy change, it's not a good look. I can't recommend this place anymore, and I'd suggest others be cautious

I had to go up to the bar to ask if we were supposed to seat ourselves. Then after sitting there for 10 minutes. I had to go all one of the 3 girls behind the bar playing on their phones for menus. Then after sitting there a while longer we got up and walked out. All without any employees saying anything to us.
