New 1970s milk bar opens its doors in Sydney
A new café has opened in Mortdale with a 1970s theme that will take customers on a nostalgia trip.
The café is named Milk Bar 2223 after the historic Sydney suburb’s postcode.
The retro café is owned by local resident Tony Fitzgerald who hopes it will remind customers of their childhoods.
The '70s-themed milk bar is adorned with memorabilia and the store even features a 1 cent lolly counter, so the youth of today can experience the old school routine.
The milk bar’s traditional malted milkshakes are made the old-fashioned way with frozen aluminium cups.
Vintage board games hang on the wall as well as genuine McDonald’s uniforms from the '70s and '80s.
There are also pinball machines in operation for customers of all ages to enjoy.
Tea is served in tea cups with tea cosies and there is an all-day breakfast menu.
An old menu board hangs in the milk bar, showing the prices of café food from the past, which is bound to make customers miss the '70s.
Milk Bar 2223 is in Mortdale, 20km south of Sydney’s CBD.
The milk bar is on the corner of Balmoral and Bowman Streets and the site was previously a corner store.
Mortdale contains a number of historic buildings including the Mortdale Hotel.
