The Milk Bar

Milk bars were known in the United States at least as early as as evidenced by contemporary radio recordings. By the late s, milk bars had evolved to not only sell groceries , but also be places where young people could buy ready-made food and non-alcoholic drinks , and could socialise. Milk bars often used to include jukeboxes and pinball machines later upgraded to video games , with tables and chairs to encourage patrons to linger and spend more money.

The milk bar as a social venue was gradually replaced by fast food franchises, such as McDonald's , and shopping malls. Much of the elaborate decor has disappeared from the remaining milk bars. They are still found in many areas, often serving as convenience stores. Milk bars in Australia today almost universally sell ice creams , lollies , chocolate bars, soft drinks , newspapers , bread and occasionally fast food. Most also serve milkshakes. Although there are far fewer milk bars than there were during the s and 80s due to changing shopping habits, most people living in suburban areas still have a milk bar within walking distance or a short drive of their home.

There is a campaign in the UK to encourage school children to consume more dairy products , by installing 'milk bars' in schools.

The idea is that if the dairy products are attractively presented and properly stored, the children will be more willing to buy them. The organisers behind the project work to develop links with school caterers, so that the handling of milk and dairy produce can be improved, and they promote milk consumption and encourage milk drinking to become a habit that will be carried into adulthood.

The milk bar project has been extremely successful in Scotland for 18 years, and it is currently being extended across England and Wales.

A "malt shop" named for the ingredient in a malted milkshake is very similar to a milk or dairy bar, serving milkshakes and soft drinks as well as limited foods, such as hamburgers and sandwiches. Although there are still a few around, these have largely fallen out of fashion in favor of fast food.

The term dairy is also used for these establishments in some places, particularly in New Zealand.
