I am going to start this off by saying I have been here 2 times before and I LOVED IT. I am Polish and a very traditional one. My family has been making Polish food my whole life. When we went there, we all fell in love. The decor is awesome, the music is awesome, the food was awesome and our drinks were great. This was Christmas last year.
Fast Forward to last night...
It was First Friday...there were a TON of people roaming the streets in the area. All the bars were so busy, except for the Milk Bar...which is why we went in.
We were told right off the bat that they were short staffed and it would take awhile to get drinks. Thats OK...we'll wait and talk. 20 minutes goes by...I see tons of people coming out with drinks. Servers were walking by with drinks for people. We never get our drinks. I ask the waiter if our drinks were ever ordered...he said yes, they're in the queue. OK fine...we'll wait a little longer. A manager (or person we assumed was the manager) came over and lit the fire pit we were sitting next to. Asked how our night was going and we told him we've been waiting for a drink for over 30 minutes. He did not offer to go check on our drinks but instead went back to talking to his friends and drinking his OWN drink. The waitress comes back and tells us that the order is in but he hasn't made them yet. Tells us we can go get our drinks ourselves but she's not sure how long it will take to get them made. My fiancee goes to walk up to order them...but at that point I was just done. We left...and with a sour taste in our mouths. I will not go back there until things improve. It is so terrible too...because I loved that place and I have talked it up so much....
Please improve on things.
