Garage door-fronted cafe with locally sourced eats & an upstairs bar hosting live music at night.
"South Street’s Milkboy may not have the music stage like the Old City location, but they’re both all-day cafes, have the same sandwich-heavy menu, and are perfect for spending a Phillies game yelling at the large TVs lining the walls. It’s a no-brainer place to grab nachos and a blacked chicken panini during your lunch break or stop by after 5pm when the bar goes full service. And since you need a distraction from watching the scoreboard anyway, you can bite into their juicy burger while singing your heart out to Lorde during karaoke nights on Tuesdays or tap into your ultra-competitive side on their Monday quizzo nights." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"You woke up, and it’s not a Saturday. You should’ve been born rich, but fate and your bank account don’t see it that way. You accidentally threw out your Phanatic mug, and the city picked up the trash on time for once. Yeah, you have some things to talk to a pint and a bourbon about. Head to Milkboy where they have a Citywide for everyone. There are seven different kinds, ranging from lagers with whiskey and Miller High Life with fernet to a seltzer with limoncello—you know, for when you want to get hammered the classy Italian way. There are TVs all around, and since the South Street location serves Jim’s cheesesteaks, the line is one less thing to grumble about. " - candis mclean
"Milkboy Studios is a place where everyone from Miley Cyrus and Silk Sonic to Jazmine Sullivan has recorded albums, so of course their all-day cafe turns into a place for live music at night. It’s the kind of casual spot where you chill at the bar with an IPA, bite into a burger on a milk bun loaded with pickled jalapeños and crispy bacon, and ask a date about their favorite albums while waiting for the show to start. On most nights, you’ll need a ticket, so make sure you book a spot ahead of time, as most shows here sell out or have limited tickets at the door. " - candis mclean
"This location of Milkboy, the all-day cafe and music venue mini-chain, isn’t as well-known as the one in Old City, but it’s the better of the two. And that’s mostly because they have some underground deal with Jim’s next door, where you can order one of their cheesesteaks directly to your table without having to wait in line." - Sydney McElwee
"This hotspot is more than just a concert venue, but a great space to also dine downtown. Whether you stop by for lunch, happy hour, or dinner, expect a fun menu of comfort food (such as their inventive French onion burger, buffalo chicken fries, butternut squash hummus, or pimento cheese empanadas)." - Esra Erol
