Obligatory bit of 1950s Popular History. All the kids hang out here, play Pinball, and listen to the jukebox play Nothing but Hits. Carhops are optional. The Malt Shop may also be referred to as a diner, a soda fountain, a drug store or a café, but the general look is always basically the same. In a Time Travel story ending up in The '50s, often the first place gone into after the "Mister Sandman" Sequence (as in Back to the Future, for example). There is some historical basis to these places; during most of the early-post-war era, from the mid-1940s to the 1950s, very few modern "chain" fast-food places were in business yet and the infrastructure to support them was still being built. As a result, there were a lot of privately-owned, short-order diner-style restaurants that served things like burgers and non-alcoholic malted beverages. Not all of them were hopping, hip places where the kids hung out, but pick a major suburb and you could probably find at least one. Many of the most successful ones would go on to become the major chains of The '70s and The '80s, driving their smaller competitors out of business. The Greasy Spoon is the Malt Shop's less romanticized (but equally conventionalized) cousin. Watch out for the teenagers who are Sweetheart Sipping or the possible eruption of a Diner Brawl. In Australia and New Zealand, and in Great Britain in The '50s, these places were traditionally known as "milk bars." |

Nancy Drew Secrets Can Kill has such a restaurant, albeit not a very good one. Their menu has some rather disturbing items, the staff never notices you entering the kitchen, and their solution for patching a leaking gas line is to prop the pipe up with a pair of bolt cutters. | |

Pop Choclit Shoppe appears in Riverdale, and it looks even more anachronistic than it does in the comic. Pop's outfit is still a throwback, and he makes all his male employees wear the same outfit (though all the female waitresses wear tight t-shirts and short-shorts). For some reason the lighting is always terrible. | |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Summertime Shorts: The "Coinky-Dink World" music video shows that Pinkie Pie's part-time job is at such a place. It has a jukebox, records hanging from the walls, serves hamburgers and milkshakes, and the waitresses have rollerskates. It seems very popular among modern-day teens, but it is to be noted that there are also a few middle-aged couples around. | |

As such, she's drawn to such places and the presence of her and other road ghosts actually serves to help keep them around when they'd have otherwise faded and closed. | |

Pop Tate's Choclit Shoppe in Archie. While small diners do of course still exist, what really makes the place The Artifact is Pop's fashion sense (at least in the digests using the traditional Archie house style), since he looks like he just stepped through a time portal from 1949. But Riverdale just wouldn't be Riverdale without it or without him. | |

Prominently featured in Make Mine Music's "All the Cats Join In" short, with its jazz soundtrack produced by Benny Goodman. The short features teens partying in a malt shop, doing swing dancing as a jukebox plays. The film was released in 1946, meaning this trope is a little bit Older Than They Think by at least a few years. | |

The Scooby-Doo gang visited these quite a bit in parts of the plot that would normally have taken them to a bar. Also, the Scooby gang would often start an episode in a malt shop (in the 1969-80 series), when they weren't on a beach. This still gets reference in modern adaptations. | |

Schoolhouse Rock!: Seen in the segment "A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing" as the narrator engages in some Sweetheart Sipping with her "best friend." The "Conjunction Junction Diner" seen in the intro of every video is probably also this. |

The Legends of Tomorrow episode "Night of the Hawk", set in a 1950s Everytown, America called Harmony Falls, features one, where Jax goes on a date with a girl called Betty. Professor Stein is nostalgic, but Jax and Sara remind him of how terrible the 1950s were for everyone else. | |

It's a Wonderful Life: George Bailey had an after school job at one as a kid that was also a drugstore. One of the important points in his life was stopping his boss from prescribing the wrong medication. | |

One of the later scenes in West Side Story is in Doc's drugstore. The jukebox plays the same "Mambo" heard at the gym dance. | |
