Great craft beer and PBR if you just need some cheap beer
Head up to the third floor to play the Multicade (30+ old school video games). Munch on jalapeño hush puppies, have a beer, relax.
Anthony McCabeJuly 28, 2013Yes actually the DMB was formed here. Dave was a bartender and met Carter and le roi as they were regulars here. they began their regular shows at trax, but Miller's is where it all began.
The top floor pool table and bar is great for when you're feeling creepy or when you're dressed up as a Black Sabbath song for Halloween and no one gets it. (I speak from experience)
William WeathersbyDecember 27, 2014Cheap drinks, friendly chats, good hearty eats. Says a New Yorker.
- Roberto AmatuzziApril 16, 2014Yes, DMB was "formed" here as Dave was a bartender and LeRoi and Carter were regulars. Trax was where they used to play.
Try the Jambalya With Chicken, Tasso Ham Andouille Sausage, House Made Creole Sauce - Slightly spicy, rich, perfect rice, authentic
Adam TranchidaOctober 20, 2010Miller's has at least 100 beers on their menu - from Louisiana's finest Abita beer to Munich's and Belgium's finest! Can't wait to devour my po
Mark BravuraSeptember 19, 2014Double bacon pimento cheese burger and jalepeno hush puppies. So good. So so good.
Bill DaviesApril 20, 2011Go during "Half-y Hour," 8 to 9 on weekdays. 150 beers and every one is half priced. Listen to music, talk to people, read a book, whatever. Great haunt.- Adam TranchidaOctober 20, 2010With at least 100 beers on their menu including Louisiana's finest Abita beer and brews from abroad a Belgium & Munich! About to devour my catfish Po-boy!!
EMCAugust 9, 2010Black & Bleu burger is phenomenal --even without the fixings, the burger itself was exceptional (great meat flavor, perfectly seasoned, nice crisp sear)
Katlyn NaughtonMarch 25, 2013Love the shrimp po-boy, not on a tradition french loaf, but just as good!
Kelly WinklemanJuly 5, 2012Favorite place in cville! Enjoy some jambalaya, Potter's cider (local!), and people watch outside. Lovely.
Go there, great bar, great service, decent food, always a good time, live music on a regular basis. Very low-key place
RandallSeptember 19, 2012The barbeque sauce that comes with the chicken tenders (if you ask for it) tastes like cough syrup....don't get it!
David HamblinNovember 27, 2011Best selection of beer. Micro brews and Patron & Grey Goose on tap @ 5°
- Hours: 11:30 AM - 2:00 AMThey have live music here every single night!!! :DGreat place to chillax' to some awesome music. Read more
BLISSNovember 20, 2010Lobster bisque and Dead Guy Ale on tap! Doesn't get much better than this! I highly recommend BOTH!!
$1.00 fries from 3-6 and $2.25 Sessions. Great place for a cheap thrill!
Anna and Jenna are by far the best bartenders in Charlottesville.
Sundays: $3 Bloody Mary! Depends on the bartender but I've had some *great* bloody mary's here.
Grayden ShapiroOctober 22, 2012Awful service. One hour later, still don't have our $3 bloody Marys and have ordered twice. Waitress gave serious attitude when we asked where our drinks were. We left before we could try the food.
Busy on Sundays. No Mimosas. Bartenders are a little heavy-handed :)
$2 bourbons on Sundays! See if you can beat my record...

"Huge bottled beer selection at really great prices. Not the place for wine drinkers, though. Sit at the bar and strike up a conversation!"
