Had a great time at millers pub! Chris at the bar was friendly and personable and welcomed me in like he knew me. Great lively atmosphere and plenty of draft selections to choose from. French dip sammy hit all the right feels and was tasty. I wish the horseradish sauce had a bit more horseradish to give it more zip but it was a great sandwich all around. You will not be disappointed. Bustling late night crowd on a Friday and food flowed til midnight and drinks til 2am. read more

Atmosphere is extremely important to me, especially when I'm looking for a place to unwind after an event. After leaving the symphony, we wanted somewhere nearby to grab a meal and have a good conversation, so we ended up at Miller's Pub at 134 S. Wabash. My colleague had made a reservation, but honestly, it didn't seem necessary, you can easily walk in. Miller's Pub is a longtime Chicago staple, and we were seated quickly. The space is much larger than it appears, with a classic Irish pub feel and an antique charm that gives it a lot of character. Our server was enthusiastic, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the night, which we appreciated. Food-wise, we ordered a variety of dishes. I kept it simple with a salad topped with carrots and chicken, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. One of my colleagues ordered a chicken sandwich, and another got what might have been the most massive fish tender I've ever seen. If I ate fish, I definitely would've tried it, and she said it was really good. Unfortunately, what really impacted our experience was the atmosphere. There was a choir conference happening nearby, and a large group of attendees came into the pub and started singing, loudly and continuously, throughout the evening. While it was entertaining for the first couple of songs, it quickly became overwhelming and disruptive. It didn't seem like other patrons were enjoying it either, there was little to no engagement or applause, and I found myself wishing the staff had stepped in to tone things down a bit. I understand that a bar environment can bring in all kinds of energy, but this went on far too long and really took away from the experience we were hoping to have. Based on the food alone, I'd give Miller's Pub 3 out of 5 stars. But factoring in the overall experience, it's closer to a 2.5 out of 5 for me. read more

My boyfriend and I had an early dinner here on New Year's Eve and it was a lot of fun. Festive decorations, excellent service from Vicky, and delicious food. We also tried their famous Tom and Jerry cocktail and loved it! So good!! Vicky was very kind, answered menu questions, and provided recommendations. Everything looks so good and I definitely need to come back. Relaxed atmosphere and spacious interior. Lots of seating and yet still makes you feel like you have privacy. I really appreciated all the holiday decorations. They really did a wonderful job. I really enjoyed the fish and chips. The fish was haddock and it was fantastic, and the batter was so crispy. Even the tartar sauce was homemade. The fries were excellent, as well as the side of coleslaw. I also ordered a side Caesar salad. My boyfriend enjoyed his French dip sandwich too. We ordered the spanakopita for our appetizer and that was amazing! So flaky and flavorful. They offer it as an entree and I'll have to order it next time so I can have more. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the restaurant and I love that it's been family owned and operated for so many years. It's been around since 1935. Such a special place! read more

I really liked the atmosphere. Exactly what you think of when you are thinking of a downtown Chicago bar and restaurant. Lots of pictures on the wall, TV's showing all types of sporting events and plenty of activity and noise. Tom & Jerry's are the specialty drink (it's the holiday's). Had to try one because my mother used to make them every Christmas. I have to say it wasn't bad... but could compare to mom's (but haven't ever found one that could!) Had a reservation but he sat at the bar for a while because we were early. Table was ready pretty much right on time. Our waiter was very nice, but he was either a little distracted or overworked, maybe both! Got our appetizer, but no plates or silverware (had to flag him down to get some). Food also showed up missing some items. He happily made everything right, just took awhile. Some of the food was good some not so much. We both got salads that were drenched in dressing and we also didn't love the Onion Rings Appetizer (they looked a lot better than they tasted, great breading tasteless onions). I had the Prime Rib French Dip. That was pretty good and my wife had the Rueben. That was decent too. I'd go back because the place was cool and enjoyed the sandwiches. read more

I love coming to this place! Even when it is packed and there's a wait, we always get a booth, sometimes it's the same one we always get lol I've tried a few things from the menu and can say that everything is good so far! This time I went in on a Wednesday night and was surprised to find the place packed but we were able to get our usual booth (we never ask for it we're just coincidentally sat there almost everytime we come in.) I tried the Caesar salad, as I have been eyeing it for a while, and my partner was finally able to get their famous chicken pot pie. It is always sold out so we had not been able to try it for a while. Everything was delicious. The chicken pot pie was the star of the show. The filling was so nice and thick. The pie crust was superb. The Caesar salad was delicious but I would order it without capers next time as they were too salty for my liking. It is a great serving too. I would definitely recommend the pie though as it was so delicious . The fish n chips is always a favorite as well as their chicken wings. I will definitely be back to try some more menu items. read more

Stopped by before going to the Art Museum and it was worth it. We got the homemade chicken pot pie and am I glad we did. This was so tasty and delicious. All the food we ordered was delicious. Was the perfect comfort food on a rainy day! This place is definitely worth the hype. read more

After taking a break from the Art Institute, we decided to get some lunch and learned we were only a couple blocks away from Miller's Pub. We've been here before (they really decorate for the holidays!) and have always had good food and service. Miller's is a nice place to get a meal without being crazy expensive, but still nice. I enjoyed my patty melt and fries and my boyfriend liked his bacon bleu burger. Our server, Jessica, was very attentive, especially with drink refills and making sure my boyfriend didn't get old crusty coffee (she brewed a fresh pot). I'll come back here! read more

So good I went back three times in one week! This was my first trip to Chicago, and since I was staying at the Palmer House, everyone recommended Miller's Pub. At first, I wondered what all the hype was about--then I had my first meal. Night one: BBQ ribs with salad and mashed potatoes. Those mashed potatoes instantly became my obsession--I ordered them every single time I came back (even as a side with lunch). The ribs were fantastic, the shrimp was delicious, and one night I got ambitious and ordered the prime rib. I didn't realize how popular it was--I snagged one of the last pieces, and minutes later they were sold out. Beyond the food, the service was incredible. Every staff member treated me like family. I ate solo each night with my headphones in, and they never made me feel out of place--just comfortable and welcomed. The atmosphere has that cozy, homey vibe--like the go-to restaurant hangout you'd see on a classic sitcom. Honestly, Miller's feels like a true Chicago gem. I can't wait to come back for more (and of course, those mashed potatoes) - At this point, I will be the mashed potato enthusiast for this restaurant! read more

This is the place to go if you want ribs, but otherwise, I wouldn't bother. The atmosphere is loud, which is great if you enjoy the kind of restaurant where you have to yell across the table to be heard. Once we were seated it took a very long time for our waiter to visit our table for the first time. If I'm being honest, it took so long that had I been by myself I would have gotten up and left. My husband had the ribs and they were great, but my Greek salad was boring and lacked flavor. It definitely wasn't with the $18.95 I paid for it. The Mediterranean plate appetizer was better than the salad by a long shot. Unless I decide that I really want ribs, I probably won't ever go back. There are far too many better places to eat in the city. read more

We only had pre-game drinks, but was a pleasure to soak in the atmosphere of this storied bar est. in 1935! From the stained glass, to the beautiful Christmas decorations, the crass but sweet company posted on the barstools.... and the pic of Lou Rawls on the Wall of Fame! read more

Ok - not gonna lie! Agree with most this place has all the ambience you're ever going to want or need. Stopped in here with my kid. And from Chicago, but live in Houston. I've lived outside of Chicago for almost 30 years now but come back frequently. I've heard of Miller's pub but never ever stepped in until today. Somebody told me the ribs here were just phenomenal. And the guy that told me competes in the Houston rodeo bbq cook off at the Houston rodeo. So I came to try them. If I'm being honest, I am going to have to have a talk with that guy. I thought the ribs were kind of dry. The coleslaw was good and the fries were like McDonald's fries but everyone knows McDonald's fries are yummy. They have this hot habanero mustard sauce that is out of this world. I'm not giving Rave reviews here. It was a tad better than ok, but I had an expectation. Everyone knows the biggest problem in any relationship is unmet expectations. Hey... it's good folks. And I will likely come again. And try something other than the ribs. In health and happiness!

Stopped in on a Monday evening with a couple friends during the holiday season. The place was so cutely decorated for Christmas. I tried a couple beers like the lychee IPA and the raspberry Oberon. Both were delicious. The bbq burger was great. The bacon was crispy, burger perfectly cooked to my medium request. The fries were a bit soggy, but still good. My friends got some hot drinks including the Tom and Jerry and the hot buttered rum. Both were delicious! The service was great. It took some time for the waitress to come to us to begin with but after that she checked on us often and was very attentive. read more

Went for happy hour with colleagues on a Friday night in December. Wow! The place is more decked out for Christmas than anything I've seen. Absolutely wonderfully festive at every turn. Worth it just for the ambience. But the service was attentive and quick. Everyone liked their drinks. I thought the fries were meh. But worth it for the festive old school Chicago vibe. read more

I love Miller's Pub! No trip to downtown Chicago is complete without stopping at Miller's for a drink and an appetizer. It is an old school pub restaurant that has been open and operated by the same family since 1935. It has the traditional pub look with dark walls and dim lighting. The dining area is large as is the bar area. Even though they can get busy there usually isn't a long line to get seated and many times you can score a spot at the bar. They have a full menu with many great choices including their prime rib (classic or as a sandwich open faced), burgers, ruebens and Greek entrées such as spanakopita and lamb. I can't get past their spinach and artichoke dip with the deep-fried pita. I order it as an appetizer and have never been able to finish it yet. It's plain delicious and every time I come here I tell myself try something new but keep going back to it. If I'm solo I like to sit at the bar. The same bartender, Kevin, has been working here for 30 years. He's nice and won't steer you in the wrong direction if you're sitting on the fence of what to order. I happen to love their Old Fashioned. It's made classically with the large square ice cube and the dark purple cherry. It's perfection in a glass and even at $16 a drink it's worth it. Hey it's downtown so everything is expensive. Located at Wabash and Adams Miller's is easy to get to whether on foot or from the El train which goes right over head in front of the building. I believe they have parking across the street as well. Next time you're downtown and in the mood for the quintessential old school bar experience in downtown Chicago check out Miller's, say hi to Kevin, and enjoy yourself! read more

Was in town for a conference and came over with a colleague for dinner. Pros - Atmosphere- Dark and "pub-by" with a lively and fun vibe - Speed of service- The speed of service was great. Hardly saw our waitresses, but the food and all was quick to arrive. Cons - Not a ton of flavor with the food and by the time it got to our table, it wasn't that warm, more room temperature Otherwise nothing remarkable, but still a fun spot and a great location. read more

Me and my husband were visiting Chicago for a football game and we're landing late on a Friday. I had three choices and wine for dinner that night, but went with Miller's because of the homie pictures in the yelp reviews. Luckily they are open very late. We showed up at the restaurant at 9 o'clock and we're told it would be an hour late. Walking in I was totally stunned by the beauty of the atmosphere. It was quite busy and I assumed that was because it was a very good spot. We went to a bar down the street to wait. We are happily surprised when we got the notification that our table was ready 15 minutes later. Our server was Jeff and I couldn't say more nice things about him. He recommended a beer and I totally loved it. He also brought me a sample of another beer. I was curious about. We started with the cheese curds which we had never had before. They were so good. The cheese pool was there. For my main dish I went with the open face meatloaf sandwich as I had been craving meatloaf. I would give that a 10 out of 10. It came with mashed potatoes and I could tell the mashed potatoes were real. My husband went with the meatball sandwich and he also thought it was a 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, we were so full. We did not end up having dessert, but we vowed that we would return. When Jeff bought us brought us the bill I was done at how affordable it was. We ended up coming back several times for drinks during our visit to Chicago. It almost made me a little sad that we were leaving because I wouldn't be able to come back here unless we took another trip to Chicago. I am absolutely in love with Miller's pub and everyone that worked there was an absolute delight. I would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Chicago. read more

I have visited this place on my previous trip. But late night. And this time came closer to diner time. It was so very busy. You could hardly get bartenders attention. But all in good times - and every time i asked for something it was delivered fairly quick. Ambience is that of a busy sports bar. Sone music. Tv has sports on. No complains Food was great the first time i visited and this time as well. Golden fried chicken - great. Got spicy sauce on the side. Amazing. Sausage and green peppers and onions - was pretty good. My partner really liked it. I did like the veggies. I loved the night atmosphere as well.i would def come back as it's close to hotels and food is def great for a sports bar. Visit.
