Milk, it does a body good. But it's also got a bit of a reputation as a drink for children. Certainly, it's not the sort of thing you'd expect one to order at a bar. Not if you want to be considered macho, tough, or someone to be feared or respected.
As to why bars might actually have milk available, some cocktails, such as White Russians, use it.
But some characters will do just that. They could simply be The Teetotaler, too young to imbibe alcohol, not in the mood for a stiff drink, or suffering health maladies that would make alcohol a problem for them. Or maybe they're ordering it for the youngest person on their team, to make a joke about their junior status. Whatever the case, they have ordered milk at an establishment better known for flammable Gargle Blasters.
If the character is sufficiently Badass, they won't suffer needless harassment for their order. But eyebrows may be discreetly raised. Compare Age-Stereotypical Food for the "childish" association.
A Sub-Trope of Drink-Based Characterization. May overlap with Drunk on Milk, and Stock Animal Diet if the character ordering is a cat.

The McPoyles from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are an incestuous, inbred family obsessed with drinking milk and keeping a warm temperate climate that often antagonizes the gang. They have tried ordering milk at Paddy's only to be outright denied and shooed away by Dennis and Mac. Their milk-drinking habits are used to portray them as off-putting, weird, and gross.

In Inspector Gadget 2, Gadget tries to infiltrate Dr. Claw's operation by going undercover as a thug at a Bad Guy Bar that Claw's been hiring henchmen out of. The cover begins to fall apart when our family-friendly comedy protagonist orders a "nice, tall glass of milk". When the other patrons react, he amends his order to "chocolate milk. Make it a double!".

In Back to the Future, George is about to approach his crush Lorraine at the Malt Shop. He needs Liquid Courage and heads over to the bar to order... chocolate milk. In this case, it's probably intended to indicate the relative wholesomeness of Hill Valley in 1955 and/or the fact that George is a somewhat wimpy dork.

The Phantom:
The Ur-Example is when the Phantom goes to town in the guise of Mr. Walker, to extract information. He will invariably visit the grungiest bar in the seediest part of Morristown and order milk. Nobody ever mocks him for it... more than once ("It is good for the bones" [starts breaking bones]). And they will always have a bottle handy. The Phantom is teetotal, which appears to go in the family.
He is at one point revealed to have a drinks cabinet filled with 300+ years' worth of various vines and other spirits that have been gifted to the Phantoms over the years, still unopened because neither he nor any of his forefathers have ever touched any of it. His trademark drink is milk — which, no matter how seedy the bar he walks into is, they always have a bottle of somewhere.
His now college-aged daughter Heloise is apparently continuing the tradition, with an amusing side-story detailing her college roommate's spectacularly failed attempt to drag her into a Girl's Night Out Episode, where her offer to buy her a beer was met with a completely straight-faced "I am not even in the mood for milk". Then a random Guy got grabby and a Bar Brawl started and she kicked their asses and she said that the next evening would be spent studying for their exams.
A 2020 story had Her Father Kit Walker (The Phantom) visit her together with her mother Diana Walker, and they and Heloise and her Roomate Kadia went out for dinner. And it is casually shown that while all four of them was given Wine to dinner, both Kit and Heloise is shown covering their full glasses when they are offered a refill by their waiter.

With This Ring: Paul doesn't drink, but has a taste for unpasteurised milk, which is easy to get when you can teleport all over the world at will. Various characters are bemused. He also has a habit of offering to adjust the chromosomes of any lactose-intolerant friends (such as the Crocks) so they can tolerate milk.

In Men at Arms, when most of the Watch are drowning their sorrows in beer, the exceptions are Detritus (whose differing metabolism means he gets drunk on molten sulphur), Nobby (who's gone for an Umbrella Drink), and Carrot, who orders milk. Carrot being Carrot, nobody questions or makes fun of this. (In his previous appearance, he'd tried a shandy [half beer, half lemonade] and hadn't liked it.)

In the Battle for Azeroth expansion of World of Warcraft:, one Alliance quest chain sees the player order a drink at a bar. They can choose ale, milk, or milk... in a skull mug. The skull mug milk item has the description, "When you want to drink milk and look badass doing it."

Iron Wood: In a future much like Mass Effect, but where all humans have superpowers, it is mentioned at one point that one shouldn't make fun of a human drinking milk in a bar. Either they're strong and tough enough that liquor does nothing to them, or they're afraid of doing serious harm and/or property damage if they get drunk. Neither scenario ends well for Krogans picking a fight.

Milk is the favorite drink of Archie Goodwin, the title character's right-hand man in the Nero Wolfe series. While he's not a complete teetotaler, the milk preference does subvert the hard-drinking private eye stereotype.

Galaxy Express 999: Tetsuro, looking for information about Count Mecha, orders milk at the bar on Heavy Melder. Though laughed at by the other patrons, the bartender tells Tetsuro he'll drink with him. Later, when Tetsuro is trying to retrieve his Cosmo Dragoon from some rough customers at the bar, Captain Harlock shows up. He, too, orders milk, but this time, no-one is laughing, and he forces it down the offending android's throat.

Black Lagoon:
When she first appears in town, Roberta orders milk at the Yellow Flag, presumably having given up alcohol after becoming a maid for the Lovelace family. The next time she shows up, she demands a bottle of tequila.
At the start of the Jane Greenback arc, when the Carnival of Killers is being assembled in the local tavern, everyone notices two of them (Lotton The Wizard and Claude "Torch" Weaver) have glasses of milk instead of beer like everyone else does. Lotton states he doesn't like the smell of beer, and Claude says drinking alcohol is against his religion.

Lucky Luke:
In "The Pony Express", the new recruits for the Pony Express are forced to drink milk in the saloon since their contract forbids them from drinking alcohol. This gets them mocked by the members of the Pacific Railway (the Pony Express' main competitor). Their leader, the station master, even forces William Russell, head of the Pony Express, at gunpoint to drink a bottle of whiskey. In the comic, he actually drinks it, while in the animated adaptation Luke shoots the bottle. In both versions, Luke then gets back at the station master by forcing him at gunpoint to drink a bottle of milk. Topping off his humiliation is the fact that he accidentally burps afterwards like a giant infant.
In "The Tenderfoot", Luke deduces a bartender is teetotal by the fact he has a glass of milk and therefore that he hasn't, as he claimed, been drinking from the bottle of scotch behind the bar, and the one man who does drink it isn't really dead.
Luke himself drinks whisky in a few albums early on, but usually abstains, though his drink of choice is lemonade or Cola instead of milk.

Sheriff Geronimo of Final Justice orders a tall glass of milk while trying to pump the bartender for information, an act that earns him the ridicule of a tiny Maltese man who was standing nearby. This then leads to a massive Bar Brawl which Geronimo handily wins. While we never do see the Sheriff imbibe alcohol, his stated reason for ordering milk is that it helps to soothe an old gunshot wound, rather than teetotalism.

In Puss in Boots, the titular character enters a bar and orders a shot of leche (Spanish for milk), much to the amusement of the other patrons.

Catwoman: The infamous film adaptation has Halle Berry pouncing, meowing, and walking with a Supermodel Strut through Gotham city. In one scene, she goes to a club and orders a White Russian without ice, vodka, or Kahlúa. Even the bartender seems amused when he ends up getting her the drink, which is just straight-up cream.

In one of the The Adventures of Samurai Cat books, Miaowara Tomokato goes into a rough bar and orders a saucer of milk. And gets it, though he needs to disassemble most of the patrons before being allowed to drink it in peace.

Critical Role: Milk is Jester's drink of choice whenever The Mighty Nein stops by a tavern. She suggests to Caduceus, who also doesn't like alcohol, that he should try ordering milk too, but he ends up not liking that either.

In Asterix, Obelix drinks goat's milk when he's Drowning His Sorrows. He has beer at other times, but since he Does Not Know His Own Strength, he doesn't want to be upset and drunk. In a few albums, he does drink wine, and promptly gets drunk off his ass, even from fairly moderate amounts.

Live A Live: Invoked in "The Wanderer" chapter (which takes place in The Wild West). Pike, an outlaw from the Crazy Bunch, decides to order a glass of milk for the Sundown Kid as a "friendly gesture". Should Sundown refuse, Pike will get angered and mock him with a claim that he "won't drink any milk that won't come from his mom's tits", and once Sundown responds to him with his own Your Mom insult, Pike draws his gun, and the two fight, thus kickstarting the chapter's main plot.

In one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Yusei, the protagonist, gets directed to meet a contact at a seedy bar. As he approaches the counter, the barkeep taunts him by saying that "kids aren't allowed here." Yusei's response is to order a glass of milk before telling the barkeep who sent him.

Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: At the beginning of "Wags to Riches", an executor reads a will explaining the qualities of the dog who will inherit his late master's fortune, and as he reads, Spike acts out those traits in hopes that he will be the lucky dog. When the will mentions that the dog must be "sober", Spike appears uptight and holding a cup of milk... but when it also mentions that he should also be "one of the boys", and Spike immediately drowns himself in beer.

Played with in The Hero of Three Faces. Superman, in keeping with his squeaky-clean reputation, drinks milk — which his Bizarre Alien Biology metabolizes into alcohol. "After all, lactose and alcohol are just sugar with ideas above its station."

In Sidekicks, Chuck Norris drinks milk... which automatically means milk is awesome. When Barry first orders it, in a Western fantasy with Chuck, the other patrons at the saloon laugh at him. But they all cease as soon as Chuck reveals his gun to them, before also ordering a milk.

Justice League Unlimited. In the episode "Flash and Substance", Captain Cold orders milk, and when his fellow bad guys look at him he explains that his ulcer has been acting up.
A bit of Hypocritical Humor on the part of the other rogues, who had placed equally innocuous orders (an Arnold Palmernote iced tea and lemonade, a cherry cola, and a decaf soy latte) without anyone raising an eyebrow.
