Updated: Jun 26, 2026

THE EMPORIUM ROCK'N'ROLL MILK BAR HAS CLOSED.

Emporium Rock 'n Roll Milk Bar is a real blast from the past, ideally located in the historic setting of Old Petrie Town.

On Friday nights, visitors can step back in time to the 1950's at the weekly classic car event which brings the place to life with music and dancing. Then again on Sunday mornings, the Old Petrie Markets transform the street into a hub of colour and creativity.

The outdoor verandah at Emporium Rock 'n Roll Milk Bar has plenty of seating from which to observe the action on the street. Indoors, Elvis and Marilyn fans will especially appreciate the music memorabilia adorning the walls and maybe even pull up a corner booth beside Betty Boop to enjoy the retro vibe.
