malt shop
Vintage milkshake parlor
A malt shop is an old-fashioned establishment serving ice cream, milkshakes, and malted milk drinks, often with a soda fountain counter.
The term evokes American nostalgia for the 1950s, when such shops served as teenage social hubs: They met at the malt shop after school.
Largely displaced by fast food restaurants.
