Bar Furniture

The bar serves milk laced with drugs. The protagonist and narrator Alex lists some of the (fictitious) ingredients one can request: vellocet (opiate), synthemesc (synthetic mescalines), drencrom (adrenochrome). For another ingredient he uses the phrase (drink the milk) "with knives in it," as it "would sharpen you up". By serving milk (instead of alcohol), the bar is able to serve intoxicating libations to minors. In the film, the bar has furniture in the shape of naked women and the milk is served from their nipples.
There was a bar in New York City's East Village named the Korova Milk Bar styled after the bar in the film. The bar closed in October 2006 but served as a Mecca for the city's goth, punk, industrial, metal, hardcore, and fetish subcultures for many years. In September 2007, the bar re-opened in White Plains, New York.
