WOMEN: I worked at Milos as a weekend gig while banking for 2 years. The incident leading to my departure was the least regrettable decision of my life. A large party of older men & young girls came in already obviously heavily intoxicated (the girls especially). I later learned that it was an SMU girls 21st birthday, and the fathers of the in-state students took her & her friends out to get them drunk. Unfortunately, the girl I will describe to you was not from Texas, and had no family here. I first noticed that her intoxication had reached a dangerous level 2 hours before close. She could barely stand, and when a friend hugged her, it pulled her top down, exposing her, but she was oblivious. I spoke with both Tommy & the bartenders multiple times, requesting that stop serving alcohol to this table. They had done nothing wrong, but were blatantly over intoxicated to a dangerous level. An hour before close, a girl came to me reporting an unconscious woman in the restroom. In that last hour, I reported this to the manager 3 times. 2 am arrived, and while cleaning, I discovered her, still unconscious, in the bathroom. The door was propped open, and a late stayer, whom always left me with an uncomfortable gut feeling, stuck his head in the womens restroom and watched us for a bit before I told him to leave. I again went to Tommy, the manager, and told him she was still unconscious and unresponsive in the bathroom. He turned to the remaining bar stragglers, and asked if anyone knew her and wanted to take her home. The previously mentioned man offered to take her if we would help load her into his car. I immediately felt a frightened, sick feeling in my gut, and went back to her to see if I could find an alternative. She was fully unresponsive and her breathing had become shallow, so I rolled her on her side. I found her cellphone, and began redialing past calls, in hopes one of her friends could give her a safe place for the night. Tommy had already stated that the police were not to be called, because that puts a "black mark" on the bar for the call. No one answered. The man came to retrieve her. I still questioned his connection to her, and asked if he knew her name (said he did not) and where she lived, since he was supposedly taking her home ("dunno, somewhere SMU"). I told him to leave the premises, and that she would not be going with him. Finally someone picked up. It was her sister, who was back home in the northeast. She was as panicked as I was, especially since her breathing had slowed down noticeably. I remember looking at her, and while she was not that much younger than I was, seeing her youth & blonde hair and thinking about my own blonde, blue eyed daughter, who was only 3 at the time. All I could think was, what if this was Peyton a couple decades down the line, in a strange city, accidentally left behind. Would someone care enough to keep her safe? I promised her sister that I would care for her, and promptly called my friend who is a 30 year veteran of the Dallas Police Force for help. He recommended what I had been wanting to do all along: call 911 & get paramedics on the scene. I did just that, and before the ambulance could arrive, a local paramedic who picked up the call arrived. He revived her, and shortly there after, a roommate that the sister was able to get ahold of took her safely home. I have never felt so deeply relieved. I know she was a stranger to me, but she was someones daughter, sister, friend... Tommy immediately called me into his office, and reprimanded me heavily for calling paramedics. He said he had already found a "solution", and I should never call 911 again. As I left for the night the 2 bartenders, both middle aged men, confronted me. They confessed they were fathers to teenage girls, and both of them thanked me for what I did, and for having the courage to do so. The next time I saw Tommy, he reported that I was going to "on call" status permanently. I look back at that night, and there is not a thing I would have done differently. No job is worth a human beings life.

This place has been around for 40+ years. The best way to describe Milos is "seasoned." Walk in and its like being transported to something out of the 80s...That said, it works on every level. Its just a comfortable place to be. Staff us awesome and experienced. Another favorite thing about Milos is that its a great location with several other hot spots within walking distance. Id recommend without hesitation.

Came here on a Sunday night just for a few quiet games of pool with roommates! Was fairly empty but for 10 odd people who were also just having a chill time. Place has 3-4 foosball tables, 6 pool tables, few booths to sit. Gets pretty crowded Thursday-Saturday nights with SMU students. Other nights are frequented by regulars by the looks of reviews. Has cheap bar food by what Ive heard. Give it a shot!

What a classic place to grab a beer and interact with all kinds of people.. management is awesome and the staff is crazy amazing. Runs from a great afternoon place for a beer and a burger to a nice college hangout at night.. As for the prices, the bar has actually purchased additional land for expansion, so they will be upgrading and renovating soon. Lets hope they can keep their awesome ambiance!

I come here for some good grub and cause they have the best foosball tables in the metroplex. The service consistently sucks though, they really need to have more servers working as it always seems they are understaffed, takes 15 minutes to get a menu and another 15 minutes till they come back to take your order.

I frequented Milos for years. In the last six months, they have raised beer prices twice. Not one dime has been reinvested in the business, and they dont take care of the staff that holds the place together. What was once a fun SMU hangout is gone - take you business somewhere else.

Great vibe, cheap drinks, local feel. Not a fancy place but its great if you want to go to a laid back bar with lots of bar games. Bartenders and servers there are super friendly and accommodating. A little dingy but hey, Ill take the cheap drink specials.
