Overrserved me then somehome had a fire code violation and then claimed i was too drunk to enter. Just disrespectful and unable to take responsibility. read more

I love this place - Clean as a club could possibly be. The bouncers are on it & the bar tenders are on point. Definitely a great destination for a late night. read more

We have a love/hate relationship with Milk. Several years ago, before COVID, this was the BEST club in Colorado, if not America. New management and new security staff changed that, dramatically, for the worst. Add to that equation an entirely new group of patrons running this place into the toilet. The influx of annoying hipsters was first. Next was all the obnoxious weed tourists from out of state. Now a notorious hip hop club Downtown that was shut down has all their troublemaking patrons coming here. They let ANYONE in, even filthy crazy hobos, even when the club is a hundred patrons over capacity. No-one is wanded or patted down, bags are not searched, often I see patrons inside the club wearing literal backpacks. You could walk in here with an AK under your coat and nobody cares. It is a madhouse. No rules apply. I love the overall layout of the club with multiple rooms, each with their own DJ. 3 rooms to choose from here and we love that. Music and sound systems are great. They clean the restrooms twice a month whether they need it or not, and sometimes they actually mop the sticky dance floor. If you come here, the rules are: always bring friends; nobody offering you drugs or an afterparty is your friend, and leave before 0100 because everyone turns into a pumpkin at 0130... a violent meth fueled pumpkin. We've seen so many brawls in that alley when they throw everyone out at 0130... and the stabbings and shootings occur around 0200... so leave well before closing and immediately remove yourself from that block because it's unsafe... between the crazed hobos, the angry gangbangers, and the tweakers you are gonna have a bad day if you loiter in that alley. Inside the club itself we've seen a few fights over the years, and a girl we know got raped in the ladies room once a few years back, but inside the club is relatively safe. Just check yourself, don't get too wasted, don't get dosed, don't accept rides from strangers, leave before 0100, BE POLITE, and you'll have a good time. We rarely come here anymore. We miss the old Milk. We miss Suze and Doug, Eric and Miquel, even Brandon. Most of our favorite people stopped coming too. Makes me sad. read more

Been hearing about how this place is so great, finally decided to go last night. Lost my keys in the bar and there is no way to leave a message or contact staff. I called the phone number and it didn't even ring. Too many people me and my friend could hardly even dance on the dance floor. Not a good night, don't really recommend milk if you want to enjoy your night safely, Jan 2023. read more

There is an arcade but that's about it. Sometimes there are dancers but it's extremely scary in the bar, and it's always crowded. There isn't much food and the drinks smell funny. They encourage dancing rather than dining which gets in the way of things. read more

This isn't so much a review of Milk as it is of one particular bartender. He's bald and covered in tattoos (including his head); also he's a prick--he's easy to pick out. I ordered two well gin and tonics (not that hard to make) from him on a bustling Friday night and tipped him $1. Mind you, I had already ordered a previous round and tipped more on that, so I figured a buck was fine. This dude hands me back my tip and says "clearly you need this more than I do." Say what you will about the amount of my tip, but a tip is a tip and I don't think there's really any reason to be that rude to a patron because you felt like you didn't get tipped enough. Apparently I'm not the only person who has made a review because of this guy. Ordinarily I like Milk, but they should probably take look at how their bar staff treats people. read more

Great venue............... excellent dance floor great ambiance awesome dance moves woohoooooooooooooo

my friends and i went to milk back in may, & we didn't know what to expect since we're from the springs but it was so cool. we did arrive around 9 and it didn't get busy until 11, which was no problem. we all loved the new wave part of the club and the drinks were great! the pop area was really fun (though crowded), and the top floor was the best thing to sit around and drunk ramble to each other before going back inside. overall, would go again!!! read more

This place is super sketchy , don't come here , they act very weird when you walk in , we came at like 12am and they let us in but after we got in they kept staring at us and kept making it seem like it was a problem we were there , the staff is not friendly , the owner is not friendly , definitely don't recommend . Its a waste of time and money . We ordered a drink and the bartender had to go ask the owner if it was ok to serve us . We paid $46 for 2 drinks that we had to chug because all the staff was looking at us like we didn't belong there . I've never felt so uncomfortable at a bar . Please don't come here . read more

Great music, and nice people on Wednesdays they have a goth ambience. Other nights, are probably more mainstream. The music was 80s music and disco read more

Wanna have a horrible night, come here. The bartenders don't pay attention to you, bathroom lines are ridiculous, over crowded, just not worth it. Literally not worth it read more

Super fun environment, tons of different funky rooms w/ different types of music (all good from my 2 experiences) good place to bring people. read more

Milk is just an incredible spot. I may be a few years removed from my party days, but I'll never forget the feeling of stumbling upon a place just like Milk. These kinds of places just don't exist like they used to. First, the entrance is generally unmarked and in a back alley. That's dope. Anytime a bar can look not like a bar from the outside, it's a major plus. That's because it makes it even cooler when you get inside and realize there are goddamn levels to this shit. Three rooms, each with its own music theme: the night we went it was 80s, indie rock, and 90s hip hop and R&B. There's also a game room, which some of our group checked out while the rest of us got down in the hip hop room. Each room had its own bar and the lighting was either sufficient or not sufficient depending on the experience it was trying to create. Again, this is a classic experience that reminds me of some of the hidden gems we used to find back in the day, which were no doubt aping the actual real thing back in the 80s and 90s. Think of a clone of a clone, but in the best way possible. This was our third stop of the night and also our last, so were already quite a bit toasted when we arrived. Coat check in the front, and at some point while we were already inside they started charging a cover. We stuck mainly to the hip hop/R&B room, and the DJ was dropping some deep cuts which I always appreciate. A couple 112 songs, a little Janet, and a fair amount of radio hits but everything was pretty much pre-1998. It was a good night and the places we hit up were all winners, so I can't be too ashamed that we didn't get to Milk sooner. I would love to be back again some time in the future. read more

The "bouncer" in the red, white and navy Bandana. Literally the worst. I have worked in customer service for 5+ years and yelling at me for having chapstick in my pocket is not okay. Made me get in the back of line. ABSOLUTELY left after that, the cover charge is not worth that costumer service. Haven't been here in five year bc it actually sucks and they let minors in. Wanted to give it a chance again because I would hope they would clean their mess up. Bouncier absolutely turned me off. Hope they close down(: read more

Attempted assault by 1 staff member (and followed aggressively ) by 2 other staff. Feared for my life, and tried to leave quickly, but its a fucking maze! I have the footage right before the assault.. on video motherfuckers! PM me for that. Literally, I was taking an elevator, and then attempted assault + harassment occurred. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY HIDING up there? That even requires a special code wtf???!!! Nothing good im sure... and obviously it's worth trying to take a life apparently. I'm a big dude and I barely got out alive, and literally in tears. THANK GOD MY FRIENDS GOT ME OUT RIGHT AWAY. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ON YOUR MOTHER'S LIFE, and/or ON YOUR FATHER'S LIFE, DO NOT GO HERE. One wrong move and you literally won't live to regret it. Hell, if I was some scrawny person with no training, I would probably would be "missing" by now. Sure, it's alright at first, even with their overpriced drinks ($10+ a shot, $20 for a double.. for one person!)... until you discover their dirty secrets on the other floors... please don't go! You might not be as lucky. It's called 'underground' for a reason people! read more

Came here last night for the monthly Repent event, and was NOT disappointed. Milk is a nice, cozy venue with quite a unique, burlesque-y feel to it. Last night was A.mazing. It was my first time here, and everyone was super cool and super welcoming. I was made to feel right at home. Much, much love to the GORGEOUS bartender and co-host, Desirae; she was amazing. So polite and pours a mean drink! Definitely made some new friends here tonight. Hoping to make this a monthly tradition! read more

This is a great club. After coming from that terrible club vinyl this definitely tops it by a mile. Had a great experience with great friends and there were no problems. Drinks are fairly cheap and everyone's a vibe. I will be back soon read more

Milk is my happy place. There's nothing better than Friday Indie Dance Night. It's easy to dance my face off until 2am with the good music. There are several rooms to choose from with a variety of music, an arcade room (I always bring plenty of quarters to blow on Skeeball), several bars, and a smoking patio. I love the crowd that Milk brings in- more eccentric than the other club scenes in Denver. It's the best place to let loose and be yourself. read more

Best place to be on a Fri or Sat nite when in Denver, particularly if you enjoy goth/alternative. Great staff; especially Connor behind the main bar.. super DJs, notably Tina SlaveOne as well as our son DJ On1x, with music/dancing & people! Never downtown without a stop here for sure; many yrs. read more

I love this place. It has a room that plays 1980's New Wave and another room that plays Goth/Industrial. Come dressed to be comfortable wether it is your every day dress or your weekend fun fare. You always feel welcome here and the bartenders are great. As a woman I never feel unsafe going there alone. Just a great crowd that doesn't judge and everyone is there to enjoy the music, dancing, and socializing. And I am stealing a quote from Daron S. that yes...."Milk Does a Body Good!" read more

such an awesome club with a really fun gimmick - there's multiple different rooms that each play different music. its so fun to explore each room. bartenders really know what they're doing, drinks almost never taste watered down, and the service is fast. really amazing and super fun place to party at !! read more

Very interesting venue. I really like the concept of having multiple rooms that play a different type of music. I would say that this was a very young crowd. Also, it would be helpful if the person taking the cover charge( which was $5) would be aware of what's going on in each room. Lots of space to dance. I would go again. read more

In my opinion, Milk is the best night club in Denver. It has a lot of different rooms and each one has its own unique theme. There are a retro room, a green room, and an underground room. Home, techno, goth, 80s, 90s and retro music are played here. The drinks are affordable and well made. The staff is friendly and always kind. If you are Skee-Ball fan, the basement is loaded with arcade games. By the way, it was invented in 1909! Great place to go on Saturday night! Take some friends and have a fun time! read more

NO A/C!!! Not a good place for the summer! Gross. B/O Everywhere! But did have a lot of places to hang out.

Four our large friend group, MILK's definitely one of our go-to spots for drinking, dancing, game-playing and taking in the atmosphere. The various rooms are themed differently and span across multiple floors. There's a red room lined with surrounding couches/lounge areas, an 80's room with lights and arcade games, a techno & laser light room, rooftop canopy dancing, disco light room, etc. They vary, but you'll find people here of all ages embracing their identities and having a good time. It's a welcoming environment and I always have a great time with my friends here. Drinks are relatively pricy, but it's pretty much the standard for the area and Denver nightclubs in general. I recommend coming here after you've already had a few, so you're not blowing money at the multitude of bars inside, plus the weekend $5 for entry. All in all, great spot and will continue to go! read more

I usually came here on Saturday's. When they would spin goth and industrial. Breakdown of ratings as follows, decor 5/5, mixed drinks 3/5, entrance fee 5/5, service 4/5, crowd 3/5 hit or miss. Do also have some special events on the rooftop once in a blue moon and would have live bands playing from the scene. read more

This was a very good find in Denver. We went on the Wednesday night which was the Kath night. When we first got there, which was quite on the early side there were only a few people dancing, about one in each room. It was hard for me to tell if they were just guess of the club or were actually people who work there who are supposed to help get people dancing on the dance floor. One guy had this crazy electronic digital light up hula hoop. Another guy was often wearing a face mask. I like that they were separate rooms with different music so that you really had a choice of which bar or which dance or you wanted to hang out on. Overall I found the styles really interesting and different from what people wear in New York City golf clubs. Specifically there were a lot of people in high boots that were very furry! read more

I had to like this place but the new bartender with tattoos all over his face is rude as hell. I ordered a rum shot and asked for some coca cola in it. Instead he filled the glass with Sprite. I asked if he could please remake the drink and he refused saying "no I'm not remaking it". I miss Suz and doug this guy really sucks. read more

Milk bar is the best night out in this city. I love all the variation in the different rooms. You've got this bumpin' electro room, the new wave room which will satisfy every 80s dance need you have and then of course the signature industrial room, where we can all let that freak flag fly. The video game room in the back is great for your friends who are still warming up to the concept of bumpin' up against chicks with black umbrellas or the dude in the sexy cop costume. The drinks are nothing special, but they ARE affordable. The bartenders are always kind. The bathrooms are cleaner than you'd expect and the smoking patio is so great. I've only ever found a deep level of acceptance from people of all walks. Go. Bring your friends. Bust out the black lipstick and leather. Have a fucking blast. read more

I appreciate and respect the social distancing- but as we were leaving & hugging our friends goodbye- (mind you, we had our masks on & we live with the people we came with-) the woman by the front door was super rude & disrespectful, rushing us out the door. The waitress staff was AMAZING and so was the the car service and host. But I feel like there should have been more of an inviting presence. So much love tho. But just had to put it out there. :) read more

Heading to this place really depends on the vibe you are looking for. I would not recommend this spot if you are looking for a date, chill night, or a girls night out filled with 90s/00s/top hits. There are multiple rooms - for me each one was a little bit darker/less welcoming than the previous. Majority of the rooms were musty, dirty, and not well kept (broken tables/torn seats). read more

We went on a Tuesday. It was absolutely dead and half the rooms were closed off, which is fine but I don't know why they expect to survive on $5 cover and $10-11 for basic well drinks. The worst part? The only room with somewhat of a dance floor smelled RANCID. It hits the second you walk in and doesn't go away. it permeated even the desolate parts of the room with no people. It was definitely a problem with the building and not just someone in the crowd who forgot deodorant. I threw up in my mouth a little and spit it in a trash can. I used to love this place, so I can't give it one star. Just wanna see the manager make better business decisions so it can thrive again. read more

I really enjoyed this spot! We came on a Wednesday night for 80s goth Industrial night I think? It was three stories with some arcade games. Only negative here is the gas smell radiating at the top floor, many ppl complained and I was genuinely worried but the security kept saying it was just the alley which I think is bs and needs to be investigated into more. Other than that I would come back again, it's kinda hidden in the alley fyi. read more

Best damn bar/club/heaven in the entire city! (For people who are a little alternative and wear cat dresses like me :)) Don't recommend this place to the bros... read more

This is one of the best places for people watching. There is plenty of places to sit, there are two rooms that play different music. One room place things like Depeche Mode 80's music, so a little darker. The other room place more industrial music. Drinks are a good price and well made. The staff is friendly and cool.Overall, it is a great experience. read more

Amazing music and diverse ppl but it's so expensive just to drink WATER when other bars give water cups for free so.

Honestly worst club experience I've had. It was hot and muggy in every room expected upstairs and outside the front. The floors were sticky and you had to push yourself through people to get through. The music was wack nothing but techno in almost every room expect two one had 80's the other 00's. Of course that would be a smaller room with games and a pool table but not enough room for people to lounge if they wanted too. And the other room was muggy and super dark with cheap lighting. Around 12:00 o'clock there was some man walking around offering coke. If you want to have a good night drinking with some friends I don't recommend coming here. read more

Yo this place was the perfect vibe I was looking for. Casual to borderline lit spot to listen to music, grab a drink, and dance. They have multiple rooms playing different genres of music. One room played house the other played funk. People were friendly as well :) read more

Maybe I read the website wrong but this place is AMAZING!! Visting from NYC and I do enjoy goth and industrial venus. The website said Goth is on Wednesdays. It was a friday night and we decided to give it a shot. Holy cow!! it has three , yes three dance floors : goth, 80s/90s, and industrial. But the 80s dance floor mixes it up!! You get a little bit of everything. We had so much fun! The bartender at the 80s dance floor was soo sweet. I left happy to know i got my industrial, goth and 80s fix. i live these kinda of clubs because you are welcomed and no drama gets started. Also, i accidentally left my hat and scarf. The bouncer allowed me to go back inside with no fuss. I would give this place an extra star if I could. read more

Love this place! 7 rooms, amazing music, and great drinks! Going Saturday and can't wait!
