Are Mondays "quiet" in Jacksonville?

Who were the original owners?  If they could put that brand with the same vibe on another venue downtown, people would crawl out of the woodwork - I mean, seriously, thirty-somethings would be popping up out of manhole covers all over this city.  It really was "that" good & as much a part of my youth as the Jax Beach dance pavilion(s) must have been to my parents.

Not sure if he was the "owner", but I still see Jason from Milk Bar out and about from time to time...I think he booked the shows and managed the place.  Maybe I'll ask him about it next time I see him.

do they serve milk?

My guess is they got the name from the A Clockwork Orange. The Korova Milk Bar would serve milk laced with drugs since they couldn’t sell alcohols to minors.

And Alex and his droogs would go there and get all horrorshow. edit: (Before hittin up the rest of the town for a lovely evening filled with rape and violent beatings of course)

Alex:"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."
Alex:"It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van."

The Milk Bar was the first night club/Bar I went to when I first moved to jax in '98 to attend UNF.  What a great place it was.  I saw a lot of good shows there back in the day; Unwritten Law, Blink 182, The Bosstones... That place was awesome.  Did it close down because of fire code violations??   

Oh, the good days. I was at the Bosstones show. Hopefully downtown can attract some known names again soon. Just don't know which venue.

Luke Bryan on Dec. 2, Colbie Caillat on Dec 11 and Josh Gracin on Dec. 18 at Mavericks at The Landing.  I don't know if you like those artists, but they are "names" that are playing downtown.
