Loved the atmosphere of the pub, the staff was very friendly, the list of beers on tap was really impressive. The chicken sandwich I ordered was tasty, but the chicken was REALLY dry, overall a cool place to grab a bite and some brews

Nice atmosphere, food was average bar food. Service was horrid. The atmosphere definitely did not make up for the poor service. There are many other places in the city with better service.

A good change of pace from the stuffy Chicago norm. This no frills bar was busy, yet we were able to sit at a high top table immediately. The ribs were on point, done right. Heather, our server was busy, yet, all of the dining needs were met.

Went here to try their signature steaks since I was in the mood for steaks but it was Okay. I had their 10 oz butt steak with French red wine which came with salad. I ordered an extra lemon soup too. The meal was OK or decent. Nothing extraordinary. I thought since it was in the older buildings next to Jewelers row in Wabash Ave it would be extraordinary. It was not. It was Okay again. I do like the nostalgic ambiance but food quality needs some updates. Especially the salads and soups. Their Tiramisu for desert was unique and tasty for the best. I would come here every now and then but it won't be the 1st thing to think about if I had to take someone out for a date. Good bar if you want to hang with friends. Steaks was OK.

I generally love this place. However on this occasion we were left waiting for a table while what appeared to be the managers A list (friends/customers) were seated ahead of us several times during the wait. It was a bad visual for those of us standing at the door.

The service here is absolutely terrible. Was given attitude as soon as my group and I walked through the door. Hostess (manager) gave us a bitchy tone and demeanor. Was seated at a table where then our waitress started yelling at us because we were directed to sit there by the hostess. Was even more less inclined to spend any money, therefore left and went to bulldog down the street where the service has been nothing but spectacular, food delicious and priced reasonably. Will never return.

I came in for a beer after a long day in work, you walk in to a very busy, dimly lit but very atmospheric bar, I sat at the bar and was immediately handed a drinks menu, I asked the old timer server for his recommended local IPA, he gave me a goblet of ale with a smile on his face and said try that, I did it was outstanding, I stayed for a couple more and left a very satisfied customer. Thank you so much,,

Millers is always wonderful. The staff is professional and friendly, the food is always very good. Combine it will a well made cocktail and a great atmosphere. I come here whenever I am in town.

Old school classic that is a part of our Holiday tradition of going around downton; kriskindle market, Marshall Field windows and tree inside Walnut Room (Macy's on State). Millers adds to the nostlgia. Staff has been there forever and pour a good cocktail. Food is good with some really good options. Make sure to look at historical wall art.

Less than exceptional - I ordered fried chicken - mashed potatoes were warm, not hot. Another in our party - his chicken sandwich was cold and dry - we theorized it must have been ready before the fried chicken, and they kept it under a heat lamp waiting for the more time consuming orders to complete. He sent it back and we shared some of our fried chicken. Another - the burger was medium rare without specifying doneness - burgers are usually cooked well when not specifying.

We had a party of 7 - only 1 person in our party really liked their food. The rest ranged from "Meh" to 'send it back' I would never return - I realize the place is historic, and must have been something special back 'in the day' - unfortunately the day has passed.

The first Irish bar I ever hit when I was about 16, nobody carded me. It helps if you look older & order a beer and a shot of whiskey with a serious world-weary look in your eye. I'd get there early after work and have the butt steak and eggs. There was an ancient gent snoozing at the end of the bar. Very cool memories..

Awesome old Chicago atmosphere, but still had TVs to entertain my brother and dad. The Greek Spread Appetizer was delicious! Really great food. Great restaurant to eat at when vising Chicago. The menu had quite a variety, so it a great option for families with diverse tastes.

The food was so amazing. I ordered the London Broil which is a special and it tasted wonderful. Our waitress was so nice and friendly and helpful with drink suggestions too. When we visit Chicago again we will plan to go back.

You can sit by the bar and drink but most people come to eat and drink. It is popular but tables are cleared, cleaned and made ready very quickly. Service is friendly and prompt but with a business eye open on proceedings. The menu is extensive and very reasonably priced. A wide range of beers and ales - local and far flung. It is noisy, and welcoming - the sort of place you want to return to. Excellent.

I'm in the food and beverage industry in San Francisco and travel to Chicago regularly. I always make time for a meal or two at Miller's Pub. I've eaten many a Reuben in my life and this is the best.
The service is always wonderful. I getet treated like family. I also get the best brandy old fashioned available on earth.
I will continue to visit Miller's when in town.

This place is fabulous! The food is amazing. We stopped in while on a business trip to Chicago. The first time I had a tiramisu that was clearly made from scratch with love. The whipped cream was fresh and the dessert portion was very generous. Loved the place so much we made a second stop later. I had brisket that was so tender there was no need for a knife and the asparagus was huge. Everything was melt in your mouth perfection. Our waiter was a hoot. We had an unforgettably good time.
