Chicago institution since 1935, classic grub & craft brews
"There’s something comforting about seeing Miller’s Pub’s red neon sign right underneath the El in the Loop. Miller’s is a full-service restaurant filled with photos and other trinkets that give the space a welcoming old Chicago feel. The waits are long at night, and this is a wonderful spot for happy hour. The feeling of escaping inside on a cold winter day while sipping a classic cocktail at the bar is a luxury Chicagoans are lucky to have. Oh, and there’s food. While “true” barbecue fans obsessed with smoke (looking at you, Texans) may scoff, the Chicago-style broiler ribs are underrated." - Ashok Selvam
"Miller's has been open for over 80 years and feels like it's from another era. It's old school - with a huge bar, big booths, and a friendly staff encouraging you to have a drink at any hour of the day. Dirty martini at 8am? That used to be the norm here. Morning drinking is more frowned upon in the 21st century, but you'd be smart to pop in after work." - sam faye
"Any downtown day-drinking journey should include the beloved Miller’s Pub — a depression-era relic that feels unpretentious and intimate. In addition to boasting a generous selection of beers, Miller’s is a perfect spot to load up on ribs or steak before venturing out to the rest of the city." - AJ LaTrace
"A nearly 90-year-old Loop institution beloved for after-work cocktails, post-theater burgers, and nightcaps; the traditional interior—vintage oil paintings, stained glass, dark wood—frames classic pub dishes like Greek chicken, build-your-own burgers, and prime rib French dip." - Lisa Shames
"You hear the buzz of the train as you enter Miller’s Pub, a big-city bar with tons of character — photos and trinkets cover the walls and professional bartenders will regale you with stories. The venerable pub menu runs from burgers to ribs, and I’d order a Tom & Jerry, the house specialty, especially in winter." - Ashok Selvam
