Korova Milk Bar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Korova Milk Bar (korova is Russian for "cow") appears in the novel and film A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, twisting the milk bar into a sinister place.
The bar serves milk with drugs added. The protagonist and narrator Alex lists some of the (fictitious) ingredients one can request: vellocet, synthemesc, drencrom. For another ingredient he uses the phrase (drink the milk) "with knives in it", which apparently refers to an amphetamine, as it "would sharpen you up". By serving milk (instead of alcohol), the bar is able to serve intoxicating libations to minors.
[edit] Other uses
There is a bar in New York City's East Village named the Korova Milk Bar styled after the bar in the Kubrick film. The bar closed in October of 2006 but served as a Mecca for the New York City goth, punk, industrial, metal, hardcore and fetish sub-cultures for many years.
