This is a very cool bar. The bartenders were really friendly, the pinball machines were in great shape, and the Chicago hot dogs were fantastic.
Also, the bartenders had a good supply of quarters and dollars for the pinball machines.
Could not think of a better dive bar for the neighborhood. Great prices, incredible food (Chicago Dog is now in the weekly rotation) and the staff is unbelievably nice, especially Fred!
Milo’s Yard has been my go-to late-night spot since I moved to Ridgewood in 2016, long before the area blew up. Whether I’m out with friends, on a date, or just having a drink alone, the vibe is always right. The drinks are great, the bartenders are always friendly and easy to talk to, and the backyard is the best in the area. It’s one of the last spots that still feels like the real Ridgewood.
Pinball machines were ok some had issues but was a great price. Great spot if you’re looking for cheap pinball and some unique older games you don’t see everywhere. Whirlwind was definitely the highlight played amazing best one I’ve played in the city
I was not here for very long but I was on the patio after a very long day. It was very relaxing and the staff there was amazing. There were no issues at all, food was brought out promptly and I think everyone was handled with the same amount of care. I’m not over in ridgewood much, but I’d like to start taking myself out there a lot more and for sure would love to stop by here for a hot dog & cider when I can.
The finest corner bar I've ever visited. Milos introduced me to numerous friends and my girlfriend. He made me feel at home when I moved to Queens. It's an exceptionally special and authentic place.
This is a unique neighborhood bar!
There is a collection of vintage pin ball machines and a patio out back.
The bar itself was built by the owner as were most of the furnishings.
Milo's Yard has a warmth that many bars lack. Snack food is an interesting mix of American and international choices. The Chicago hot dog is really tasty.
Drop in and say hello.
Cool bar, at the first glance it seems really divey, but the vibe is chill, and the music and snack choice is very eclectic (samosas, Greek spinach pie, Jamaican patties, Chicago hot dogs). The drinks were really good too. Definitely coming back with my friends!
sometimes, late at night, people will be making out on the very nice couch behind the pinball machines in the front and i'll be thinking like, "... i reaaaallly wanna play those games though", so i'll just sorta slide on in there and play pinball and pretend like there aren't people heavy petting two feet away from me. in other words, this is the perfect bar
I like how dark it is in here. whoever the DJ was the other night was playing the gd hits. fairly priced beer, the backyard patio area is cute an spacious, they make a seriously good chicago dog. I would play pinball here every night if I could. ⚡️🦑
Milo's is one of my favorite bars to hang out at. They have a backyard with dim lighting and benches, old school pinball machines (Iron Maiden is the best in my opinion), and great prices on drinks, drafts and cans. Bartenders are very friendly and social. They also have pork buns and samosas which are very good.
Awesome bar with not only beer, but food, and a handful of pinball games! Wait, and a backyard! Yes, super cool place for a date night or showing your parents around the area.
Solid beer selection, great music (bring your own records Wednesdays), pinball, and surprisingly delicious Chicago style hot dogs. This has been one of my go to places for a few years now.
Fun place to go for a but of Pinball. ¢75 per game isn't bad, but I think the price raised since I first started going (not certain though).
The atmosphere has a good vibe; laid back with good music playing. This is a a perfect place to kick-start your night.
This place was good I loved going here. But me and my friends decided to go last night and the owner which happen to be the bartender was the worst. She kept giving us a additude and basically didn’t want to serve us, and when my friend was feeling sick we asked her for
Water and she kept saying she didn’t care. when we gave her our I.D she basically threw it as us. if your trying to have fun to go Boobie Trap literally few blocks down :)
Decent selection of beer starting around 3$ up to around 8$. Food menu with vegan options. Pinball and outdoor seating. Only downside couldn't decide if it was the sound system or the dj but the volume of the music kept going from one extreme to another. It did not make for an enjoyable experience.
This place is amazing!!! The drinks are reasonable and the atmosphere is very cool. Super chill and it has a back yard!!! Plus they have munchies. Boston style hotdogs take about 15min. But the pork buns are ret to go. And, they are delicious!!!
I hosted a private birthday party at Milo's Yard and it was HUGE success. The space is wonderful with backyard, pinball, plenty of space for even 100 people. But the highlight is really the people who run Milo's Yard. They are personable, attentive, and went the extra mile like running out for extra paper plates when the pizza I had delivered didn't bring enough for my guests.
In short, great cocktails and beer selection, solid food options, but the employees take the cake! Would host here again in a second. Thanks Milo's Yard!!
Getting a drink here is always a chill experience. The place has an awesome vibe (and excellent pinball options). My wife and I recently hosted our wedding party at Milo's Yard and it was an awesome experience. Claudia & David were a joy to work with. They made sure everyone had a killer time. Highly recommended!
One of New York's finest. Friendly owner and staff. Great atmosphere. The only bar in NYC to find a number of rare but excellent pinball titles like Jackbot, Grand Lizard, Getaway, and the Shadow. Really love this place.
I really wanted to like this place and write a nice review since my girlfriend loves little dive bars, and it was our anniversary. After reading great reviews I thought this would be the perfect place to celebrate, however, when we walked through the doors we were greeted with "horrible" ear piercing music! Plus, the little crowd was more like a meeting of middle aged, down beat, fallen AA alcoholics! Who ever wrote those other reviews are most likely friends of the bar!
Lots of beers on tap, super nice bartenders, tasty bar snacks available (my favorite would be the Rice ball with mozzarella, red sauce, and ground beef inside), and an outdoor area. If you like pinball, they've got 6 or so machines in back. Not sure if that's a pro/con for me yet...
