Miller’s Tap & Liquor Store

Where my girl Carla at? I was in town for a weekend and asked a waitress where the seediest bar in town was. She directed us to millers! Millers gives you that distinct feeling that you might die at any moment. You never really can tell if you’re in a liquor store, bar, or ur creepy uncles basement. It was exactly what i was looking for. Free pool! I mean yes the pool table is on a slant but who gives a shit amiright? Carla is awesome tell her i said hi, she will remember your name also which is cool.

Bravo, James.

I have given this place 3 chances. I stopped in 3 times for a drink with a friend on the way home from dinner in the neighborhood. PRO: Its cheap. and I guess thats OK. It doesnt look that great from the outside. but dont judge a book by its cover. right?.. WRONG.
CONS: Everything else that is wrong with this place does not make up for the cheap drinks. The place is a dump and it needs to be shut down. It lacks any kind of customer service, I felt like I needed a shower when I left and the owners have no social responsibility for the community. I gave it a chance and it failed miserably.
Overall this is what I think about this place…
This place is bringing the neighborhood down. has been for years. It’s a place that people don’t even like to walk passed. Ive seen people walking dogs or walking with their children walk in the street to avoid walking in front of this dirty and smelly place. CHILDREN IN THE STREET! Where do I begin? First… When they open at like 8am. the drunks ride their bikes there or walk in (yea. its THAT kind of bar). It brings the trashiest of trash into the neighborhood. People stay there and drink all day. even during the week! All their junkie cars take up all the spots on the street and make the neighborhood look like a ghetto.
The owners/​staff have no accountability for their patrons or the neighborhood. I cant even tell you how many times I have seen people stumble out of the bar and stand at the door of their car for minutes trying to figure out how to work their keys. I just call the police on them. I live on the block and the smell from the bar is disgusting. Their patrons smoke soo much outside that the people that live on the block have to keep their windows closed all the time. I should really send them my A/​C bill. O. and to top it all off they have a new sign that I find offensive. It says something like. male day care center. Listen. no one with any self respect/​education/​hygiene would ever frequent a place like this. It needs to be shut down! What a dump!
If you have no standards for the place you support. go here… you’ll fit in fine.

Pretty Old School Joint! First off, they open at 7AM for all you hardcore AL’s! Inside it doesn’t look to have been updated since like 1970 complete with Cigarette Racks and Instant Lottery tickets hanging off the shelves. They have a full bird selection of those little bottles that the bums buy as well/​Only place where I’ve seen this! Pretty interesting «Clientele» to say the least/​Bums, Firemen, Old Daddys and people just hiding from their wives. Service is good and the prices are CHEAP! GTFJD

I love a good dive bar but this is an enterance to hell & thats if hell’s enterance is crowded with smokers

If you’re looking for the quintessential dive bar, look no further than Miller’s. Don’t be fooled, they have a decent selection of booze for a dive-​I was shocked when they told me they had Effen Cucumber Vodka. Cheap drinks, a jukebox, fun and laid-​back crowd, stellar spot for people watching, and slim jims!

nothin’ pretty here ladies, BUT dont judge a book by its cover.
everytime i step foot in here i am greeted with spanish cowboys and mariachi music blaring from the juke box, ahhhhh.
barkeep never fails with the free shots on ANY given night. Even doles out free drink chips for the «next time around».
«to go» is key here as same barkeep ALWAYS offers extra cold beer from «the back».
Adiós Muchachos.

Quintessential Chicago dive bar. Some salty dogs in this joint.

When you’re ready to head back home but realize that you have no alcohol back at your place and everything else is closed, this place rakes in the stars. The outside is kinda scary looking and the inside isn’t much to look at. $ 5 for a 6-​pack of Miller Lite — awesome. It’s like a bar slash liquor store. There were a bunch of older townies celebrating a birthday inside yelling «free beer for new customers!» We didn’t get free beer, but bought a few shots (limited selection) and left.
CASH ONLY (ATM inside)

This place is always open, even at 8 am or so, with the door propped open. There are usually a couple smokers out front. Ugh, I hate walking through the smoke. I glance over as I walk by and always see some grisly dude at the bar, even at 8 am. This place looks totally creepy. No thanks.

Okay… I hate to be the one to do this, but I feel like someone needs to set the record straight about this place. After reading the other reviews, I was geeked to check it out. I even took a group of friends. We went to several bars and the neighborhood, and Miller’s was a major let down. Yes, you can get a little cheap glass of beer, that is why I gave it two stars instead of one. Everything else was a let down. I asked the bartender about the possibility of «vodka for here,» which is mentioned in the other reviews. He looked at me like I was crazy. Actually the bartender, a middle aged man, was more or less a jerk. We all tipped very well, even more so with the cheap prices, we’re industry so thats what we do, and he was still unfriendly and not the least bit welcoming.
Hey Miller’s Tap… if you want to keep your bar an exclusive place for creepy older people (who are not even friendly) to hang out, that’s cool with me. I can honestly say, I’ll never be back.

when you see something as awesome as a tattoo of a turtle humping a clam proudly displayed on the ample bosom of one of the regulars, it’s safe to say that you’re probably in a pretty rad bar.
a group of us stumbled in here on saturday night, and immediately fell in love.
–they sell booze and beer to go and at the bar.
–said booze is EXTREMELY cheap. $ 1.50 mugs of old style. a bottle of vodka «for here” — $ 12. add styrofoam cups and sprite cans for $ 5!
–nice jukebox. not many people in there, so i ran that shit.
–awesome regulars! pole dancing, tattoo displays, crazy stories– good people and good times!
–bartender was super nice and turned up the music for us.
–video poker. the nudey ones too (and in a dark corner, in case you’re That Dude…).
if this place was any closer to my house, i’d be in trouble. as it is, i will be making this my go to destination whenever i’m in the area!

this place is dank, dirty, dark, and deplorable at all times.
the bartender/​cashier is constantly drunk all day long and will make jokes when she rings you up that are completely nonsensical. they’ve got a rack of 25 cent bags of chips and little debbie snacks or something which i certainly would not trust and candy bars behind the counter which i’d be even more cautious of. there’s a wall of refrigerators stocked with 6 packs of beer in bottles which are ALL MISMATCHED. you will never find one where the bottles in the 6 pack match the packaging, not negative, but very perplexing indeed. they carry more than you’d expect, too. you can go in and get a fine 6 pack of beer you’d be honored to bring home and split with your old man, that is… if it were in the proper container. my dad doesn’t drink, but if he did and i brought home a 6’er of anchor steam in a miller light case, he would definitely judge my lifestyle.
behind the beer fridges is a little nook lined with video slot machines and at any given time there is at least 2 or 3 people playing them. this is the saddest part of miller’s to me. paying money to pretend to gamble? Every person in this bar is ambiguously aged as well, their lives seem to have been ravaged by drink in every conceivable way.
I give Miller’s Tap 5 out of a possible 5, don’t judge me. they wouldn’t.
