FAQ

Q: Wait, I thought MilkBoy was a recording studio?
A: MilkBoy started as a recording studio in north Philly in 1994. Since then we’ve opened two coffee shops and our downtown bar, restaurant and music-venue in order to more widely serve the music community. The recording studio is still the hub of the MilkBoy group; it’s located in Philadelphia, PA, at 413 N 7th Street.
