Great location and vibe. Service friendly but slow. Issue was the food. Bland and overcooked. Vegetables were a let down. Appetizers were pricey. A $15 pretzel?! read more

Recently opened on Elm St and being we live right down the street decided to give it a try. This is the old location of the Black Brimmer, a famous Manchester Nightclub of old! We started with the buffalo chicken fingers as an appetizer. They were good, but not homemade. It would've been nice if they had come with celery and carrot sticks. The Smashburger and fries was very good and definitely was enough for two people. The atmosphere is comfortable and our bartender was prompt and friendly. We didn't get any drinks, but we'll leave that for the next time. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were all on point. I sat at the beautiful island bar in the back of the restaurant, complete with three large screens where I could watch the Bruins. Everyone working there had great energy and made the experience a lot of fun. The atmosphere felt like the place had been open for years, so I was surprised to learn it had only opened about a week ago. Now for the food: The menu was excellent and not easy to choose from. I went with the short rib and risotto, along with a Caesar salad. The Caesar had just the right amount of dressing and was perfectly balanced. The short rib was full of flavor with a rich gravy that any New Englander's mom would be proud of. The risotto was perfectly creamy, and the roasted carrots and broccoli rabe on the side were a great surprise. I'll definitely be back. read more

The Millers Tavern - Short rib risotto, Caesar salad and an old fashion. - New American Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

See all

Miller's Tavern has opened their Manchester location on January 1, 2026 in the former Keys Piano Bar/603 Bar & Grill space at the corner of Elm & Lowell Streets in Downtown Manch. This restaurant & bar space is still referred to as "The Brimmer" (Black Brimmer), which was a happening bar in the 2000s with loud music on the main floor and a game room & second bar in the basement. Fast forward to 2026, this is Miller's Tavern's second area location with the other location across from The Loop in Methuen MA. The Farm Bar & Grille at Elm & Bridge Streets closed up recently since the ownership is the same as The Miller's Tavern. For food, they serve up American pub style fare including a selection of appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, salads, soup, chili, 12" pizzas, mac & cheese, seafood dishes, short rib risotto, cowboy ribeye, fajitas, kids menu and desserts at moderate prices. The menu is mostly similar to the Methuen location with a few different offerings there. The full service bar offers 12 draft beers, beer cans & bottles, wine, sangria, cocktails, martinis, and mixed drinks. Like before, on the main floor there is a full service bar surrounded with seating & flatscreen TVs above the bar, high top table seating, regular table seating, overhanging chandeliers, ornamental lighting, and two tables on the balcony. Live entertainment is offered on the weekends and special events too. The basement has the restrooms, but no game room & second bar (blocked off & dark). I stopped by The Miller's Tavern in Manchester for a mid-afternoon dinner when things were not too busy. I sat up at the bar and was given a food menu to look at. I got an ice water and ordered the Haddock Sandwich with Hand Cut Fries ($18.95 plus tax), which came out in under 10 minutes. The sandwich had a crispy breaded flaky haddock filet with lettuce & tomato on a toasted bun with tartar sauce on the side. The lightly salted hand cut fries had good flavor, a major step up from the standard frozen fries. For dessert, the Skillet Cookie Sundae ($9 plus tax) was served in a very hot 6" iron skillet with a soft baked chocolate chip cookie topped with a small hard scoop vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce drizzle and whipped cream. This dessert was just the right size for one person. After I was done, I hung out a bit to catch the first quarter of a bowl game showing on ESPN and got the check with Toast QR code which was $27.95 with tax and before tip. Overall, the haddock sandwich with the hand cut fries and the cookie dessert were both enjoyable. The service was professional as the food came out in timely fashion and I was given refills on the ice water. Several staff including management stopped by to check on things. I am about halfway between this location and the Methuen location. The Methuen location has a few favorites not (yet) on the Manchester menu including the Meatloaf Sandwich, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and the Seafood Alfredo. I would come back to Millers again for another meal and for the late night Manchvega$ bar scene with live music. read more

Their smash burger is the most honest burger I've ever had in Manchester. It's not making a statement. It's not one-and-half inches of seared ground beef. It's artisanal only in the sense that the person who made it knows their craft. It's a well-made patty of meat, seasoned simply, on a perfectly toasted bun. The sauce is tuned to a meal that makes you happy, not to a Happy Meal. You must get the fries. It is a huge room, yet the service is attentive and friendly (Hi Caterina!). read more

Amazing lunch experience at Miller's Tavern in Manchester, NH. From the moment we sat down, everything was top-notch. Our bartender, Erin, was outstanding service was impeccable, and her warm, engaging personality truly elevated the entire experience. The food was next level: top-tier quality while still giving that comforting bar-food vibe, just done on a much higher scale. A special highlight was when the chef personally came out to talk with us about the chicken pot pie, which is his grandmother's recipe- such a thoughtful touch, and the dish itself was absolutely delightful and full of heart. The atmosphere is also gorgeous. The décor and seating arrangements are on another level, making the space feel both upscale and inviting. Highly recommend Miller's Tavern for lunch or dinner. We'll absolutely be back. read more

After seeing many posts online, I was excited to try Millers Tavern-Manchester, but was utterly disappointed. The restaurant is spacious and decorated nicely. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. We sat at the bar and weren't acknowledged for at least 10 mins. Our martinis were mediocre at best. We ordered a pretzel and nachos. They could have been warmer. Most places serve sour cream with their nachos and then charge extra if you want more. That's not the case here. If you want sour cream at all, you are charged for it. When our food was delivered, the waitress dropped it off and walked away-no napkins or plates given. I waited a few minutes thinking she was going to get them, but she didn't. I had to get up and ask for them. No one checked in to see how we were doing, and we had to flag the bartender down for another drink. Another gentleman sat down next to us and it was a good 5+ minutes before he was acknowledge. At least 2 bartenders walked by without saying a thing. For terrible service and mediocre food, we definitely won't be back. read more

The ambiance is beautiful, I cannot wait for the downstairs to open. Sounds like fun! Everything I have had food wise has been delicious. The Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos are one of my favorites. The Smash Burger is just the right amount of burger, so juicy and delicious! The sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked. I was nervous to try the BBQ Nachos because I love ground taco beef on my nachos, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were fabulous and I got sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños on the side. Perfect addition to the nachos. If you're in the mood for a dessert beverage, I would recommend the Salted Caramel Martini. It's just like having a salted caramel cream cake with the gram cracker crust (on the rim) it's truly phenomenal! Overall, I cannot wait to try more items and share more experiences. Everyone was friendly and kind. Will definitely dine again. read more

The inside of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I used to go here quite a bit back in the 90s when it was the black brimmer, the staff was very friendly and very accommodating. We got the golden knot, which is just a huge pretzel hanging on a banana hanger. I'm not a fan of pretzels, but my husband liked it.. we also got the buffalo chicken dip that was pretty good. For entrées hubby got chicken pot pie, which is just a bowl of chicken vegetable gravy with a huge crust like thing put on top did not look like anything like in the picture that we saw in somebody else's review. I got the seafood casserole. It smelled like fish and was completely raw. I also got a captain diet. There's absolutely zero alcohol in it. The waitress was amazing. They also took my dinner off and my drink off, which was nice. Hopefully with some time the place gets better. read more

The atmosphere was excellent nice job painting refreshing. The waitress was excellent, but I got the skillet with the chicken and cooked vegetables. I hate to say if they were burnt in extra extra salted could've had a little bit more chicken. My wife got a chicken pot pie, a very little in the way of chicken. The beer was ice cold, which was great and my wife's dish ,The chicken pot pie was extremely salty and cold , friends we were with ,their food was just warm, but I understand they just opened up and they have to have room to get better but man I never do this just make sure the food is hot and don't burn it. It's pretty basic right again. The waitress was excellent. read more

Lost the Black Brimmer vibe, food and drink followed suit. Drinks were delivered with flat tonic. Bar was littered with "Elm Street's Finest" and we couldn't even consider dinner after sampling an appetizer. Terrible. read more

Went for the first time around 2pm for a late lunch. Two of us sat at the bar, there was one other couple at the bar and given the odd time we thought that was normal. Atmosphere was great. We got the lettuce wraps and the smash burger and split both. Food was great! Bartender was not bartender material at all, she never checked on either course. My husband's beer was sitting empty for too much time before she offered him a new one. We will definitely be back just hope the service is better. read more

Saturday night. 4 of us reservations at 6 . We were welcomed and seated immediately. Stared with nachos that had barbecue sauce on them little different from the norm they were good. Followed with bang bang shrimp and wings . Our waitress recommended the garlic wings . Both were very good! Our main courses consisted of two orders of French onion soup , rib eye steak and a smashed burger. All parties were very happy with their selections . Everything was hot and cooked as ordered. No complaints. Will definitely return. A special thanks to our waitress/server Marie. Outgoing, bubbly, accommodating everything a restaurant would want in a server. She could , should give classes on how to treat the public ! The Millers Tavern should be happy to have her on their staff. Her mother must be proud read more

We ate at the bar and the service was great. The lettuce wraps were a delicious appetizer. We shared the seafood casserole. Nice vibe and fun place. read more

this place is awesome, the atmosphere & food were great. we started with the Thai chicken wraps which were delicious and had great flavor. For my main I got the short rib risotto which did not disappoint, the short rib wasn't dry whatsoever and the risotto was cooked to perfection. Drinks were also tasty! our server was very attentive to detail and did not steer us wrong with food recommendations! Will definitely be back! read more

My wife, Mindy clued me in that The Brimmer is now an awesome spot to have a bite and beverage. Today was her birthday so we checked out 'The Millers Tavern' for lunch at 1pm on a Thursday. There was no large crowd. We sat at the bar. The bartender was pleasant, prompt, and professional. I had fish and chips, subbing Onion Rings for fries. Portion was large ( I am a big guy) :) . Fish was perfect. O Rings were the thin 'string' type. I'm not sure if the appetizer O rings are different, but I was hoping for the thick O Rings. Regardless, they were perfect string rings. Wifey had the Short Rib risotto. Unfortunately this was sent back. The risotto was heavy parmesan cheese, and not edible (by either of us). She liked the beef, and the carrots though. Without any hesitation, the manager apologized and deducted the dish from the bill. We got a pizza to go but have not tried it yet. I'll update this with a pizza review. We will go back for sure. The place is airy and positive. It's apparent that the staff want you to come back. read more

Amazing service! My friend an I have walked by this place a few times and finally stopped in for drinks. Our bartender Erin made amazing drinks and was so friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!! read more

Excellent prompt service. The burgers were absolutely amazing. The poppers were better than anywhere around. A little awkward with the big empty space in the middle. Feels a bit like you're in a gymnasium. Definitely needs a much bigger bar for that space. It feels like the last 3 places still. A little weird with the owner walking back and forth on his phone non stop was like a secret agent and hovering and annoying but otherwise a great first impression as far as food and service which is what really matters. read more

Food was good but service was AWFUL. Waited about 8 minutes to have the server come over. She didn't really check on us and forgot my fiancés drink order (a water) twice. I work in customer service so I do understand it gets busy but there were a good amount of waiters and lots of empty tables. read more

Walking in we were greeted & quickly shown a table, the restaurant was busy with people filling the varied table options. -the balcony was our choice for people watching & conversation. Marie brought us Martinis to start yum!, followed by poppers, & lettuce wraps perfectly crisp & fresh! Entrees were haddock & smash burger-both delicious! No question we will stop in again when in Manchester read more

Went to the new Miller's Tavern in Manchester New Hampshire. Had a great experience! We ordered the bang bang shrimp nachos burger and a seasonal salad. I can't quite remember the name. The staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed the art deco ambience, and I'm looking forward to returning for some live music with some friends. All in all a nice addition to downtown Manchester. read more

Amazing service, staff all friendly with smiles! Food portions large! Would recommen highly and will be back! I also want to say a special thank you to our server...her name is Maria and she was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, fast, attentive to our needs even though the restaurant was packed! I will definitely be back and will be requesting the same server!! read more

Ambiance was great, restaurant looked beautiful. Knowing it's a new location I understand within the first few weeks everything is a trial period. For the service and food- it seemed rushed, disorganized and the food sadly reflected that. For appetizers we got the Bang Bang Shrimp and Soup Dumplings. The shrimp were great! Our server had rushed over and dropped off a pretzel we did not order, we asked for it to be removed but it sat on our table untouched for 15 minutes before it was grabbed. The soup dumplings were sadly disappointing. They were overcooked and disintegrating in the steamer. Wasn't able to get the "soup" aspect as all of the fluid was gone. The side of shredded vegetables it came with tasted like a refrigerator and some were mushy and rotten. For the mains we got the Short Rib Risotto and the Steak Tips. Sadly both were left on the plate by the end of the dining experience. The short rib was extremely dry, and the risotto was clearly rushed and undercooked- chewing on full rice grains. The broccoli on either dish was not seasoned. The steak tips were extremely overcooked. My beef jerky was sided with unseasoned mashed potatoes and the broccoli. Was very excited for this dining experience but left very underwhelmed and disappointed especially for the money spent. I am hopeful to see it turn around with the kinks of being new being worked out. read more

I heard about the new Millers Tavern located on Elm street in Manchester and was excited to see what they were going to do with it considering the business previous hadn't had the ability to sit out and thrive. i Waited to go with some friends just after the New year to see what everyone was talking about and when we got there we walked into a unrecognizable establishment that had clear planning and time invested into it, much different than the dingy dirty place that filtered so many failed businesses before. It was once the black brimmer the memories that place holds for me and I'm sure So many others could never be replaced by anything afterwards BUT the moment we Walked in we could NOT stop admiring the vibe, the color pallet, the BEAUTIFUL black and white historic pictures on the walls, the lighting the chandeliers, the decorations and attention to detail. It's simple and so pretty!! Such a nice change for Manchester, and the staff welcomed us he moment we walked in and helped us right to the bar. Which is just a whole vibe and has everything you could want in terms of Liquor and ambiance. I'm going to say a lot of first, and second third dates will probably be Here at this place given there isn't too many upper scale places that are still inviting left in this area at all. The espresso martini I ordered was frothy and rich and the old fashioned my friend ordered had been actually made properly you can tell that the people working there have plenty of previous experience and are proud of where they work and to be apart of this new spot. I worked in service industry before that had poor management and you can tell they run a tight ship and the quality of everything we had was just perfect! The Mozzarella bites we had were so crunchy and gooey on the inside and the marinara was delicious, I can be a critic of marinara sauce and this one was just right. The steak i got was cooked JUST right and well worth the money and the mashed potatoes And vegetables were fresh and seasoned not too much not too little. The presentation is gorgeous and maybe definitely got posted to my instagram. The smash burger my friend got was so juicy and they had gluten free buns which is usually something that My friend ends up not eating because most are just- yuck and she is also very picky and she ate her whole meal. needless to say we are hard to impress and when my family comes up next month I will be sure to call way ahead of time and Book reservations because I see why they were so busy and packed when we were there. this is a MUST try place, I will DEFINITELY be back and I will for sure be going all the time. So happy something like this finally gets to be on Elm street and I LOVE it so much because I live right off elm street. I HIGHLY suggest you check this place out!!! read more
