People have been travelling from far and wide to Bells Milk Bar for 'out of this world' malted milks and soda spiders for generations. Once upon a time, many old milk bars and cafes in Australia made the bases for all their drinks by hand. At Bells, all our authentic syrups are still handmade here on the premises in Patton Street to Les Bell's Famous Secret Recipe, just like they have since 1892 when the business was founded by Fredrick Fenton, a confectioner and cordial maker. The result is worth bottling!
About Bells Milk Bar & Museum
Bells Milk Bar is an in tact 1950's milk bar in South Broken Hill (thanks to Les and Mavis Bell's 1956 renovation). It is famous for its quirky decor and the old fashioned milkshakes and soda spiders served here, as well as the new milk bar museum and an ever increasing range of 'out of this world' snacks and treats, gift items and old style lollies including new home made traditional fudge.
During Broken Hill's mining hey days of the 1950s and 1960s Bells was regularly packed out and people were known to line up halfway down the street on a Sunday afternoon for a cool drink.
Despite the huge demand for the Bells drinks over the years, they have only recently been bottled for retail sale.
Apart from their good old fashioned quality, many of these flavours are simply not available anywhere else! For your best 'taste' of Broken Hill and Outback NSW history, try some Bells Syrups and Cordials today!
