Two words: Vodka Icecream!
My husband is Polish and having just returned from a Trip to Poland raving about their "Milk Bars" we were excited to find out that Phoenix is getting one of its own.
I love the white interior and the overall vibe. The drinks are a bit pricey, but after trying a few I settled on the Clockwork being worth the price. It even has a little Kumquat on the rim. It feels like a lounge but has a full menu.
Drink Recommendations:
- Clockwork if you like something sweet and strong
- Dirty Commie if you like strong martini drinks and pickles
- The Grapefruit beer if you want a European alternative to a Summer Shandy
Food Recommendations:
- The potato pancakes (Kart-o-fel) are crispy on the outside and just amazing
- Pierogies- I have not had the dessert pierogies, but the potato and cheese is perfect
From what I understand, the MilkBar is still in it's "Soft Open" phase, and while they are working out kinks on the menu, drinks, and staffing, they have a solid base in home-style Polish classics and High-end cocktails.
As with any concept restaurant, it's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me.
