Best Bar to Watch Football in Norridge

Good food with loads of sports televisions showing mostly American sports and major football/golf tournaments

I’ve been to many other Millers Ale Houses but this one was extra welcoming and fun. The food is what you would expect with yummy bar food. We (3 of us) shared the chicken nachos and the loaded zinger fries. Very large shareable portions it could have fed 2 more people. Pricing is fair & affordable; especially with today’s inflation lol. The best part tho was the atmosphere; we sat at the outside bar. It had that cheers vibe like everyone knew everyone else and was friendly. It’s May & Florida so starting yo get warmer but the fans kept it cool & comfortable. Our bartender Jenn was was absolutely fabulous. One of the best bartenders I’ve had in a very long time. Super friendly and funny; she knew everyone at the bar and just dominated. You could tell they all loved her too. Whoever is in charge Jenn needs major kudos and a raise! Excited to come back 🤩

Cool environment to enjoy a meal, drink, and watch the game. Tracy was very professional, nice, offered quick service.

1st Quarter: I bring wife #2 to Miller’s to “watch the game.” Everything’s going fine until wife #4 walks in wearing my hoodie. She scans the bar. I duck behind a nacho tower and whisper to the bartender: “Call me Ron, I’m in witness protection.”

2nd Quarter: Wife #1 walks in with her book club. They sit right behind us. I fake a phone call and say, “Coach just called me up to the majors,” then moonwalk toward the restrooms.

Halftime: I check the TVs for live coverage of my downfall.

3rd Quarter: Wife #3 shows up with her girls to celebrate a promotion. All four wives are now inside. I grab a Miller’s Ale House T-shirt from lost and found, slap on a dish towel, and start bussing tables like I work there.

4th Quarter: Wife #2 yells, “Wait, isn’t that your car out front?” I shout, “TIME TO DO THE WING CHALLENGE!” and sprint to the back while everyone’s watching some guy fail miserably at eating spicy wings.

Final Score: Me – 1. Exposure – 0.
Atmosphere was electric. Food was great. Stress-induced survival instinct was elite

Revised: 4/23/2025
I ordered some bone in wings carried out. Online process very easy to use. Wing specials on Wednesdays. 12/$12 or 24/$24. Very good quality and large wings with about a dozen or so different choices for sauce.
I'd like to point out to others who may order online is I selected a mixed flavor option and I was expecting separate the half order to be of separate flavors, but it was a combined/blended sauce. I was able to select 2 options A mild buffalo/honey bbq which was okay. But the star of the show was the honey mustard/thai chili blend. I would definitely order this one again.

------original review--------

We dined at Millers on what appeared to be a busy Sunday night. The Bears were playing in Sunday night football so we expected to wait a long time. We only waited about 10 minutes for our table and we had a group of 8. I do think we had arrived at the exact right time though. Others behind us weren't quite as lucky.

I had a slab of ribs and it was pretty ordinary, kinda dry to be honest. Rather forgettable. But 3 of my fellow diners had the Prime burger and each said it was absolutely fantastic. I'll be trying the Prime Burger next time

As for the atmosphere, it is almost too spacious for a sports bar but because of that it is very comfortable. TV's everywhere the eye could see. Bar situated in the middle. Outdoor dining available in nice weather

Despite the ribs not being that great. I still rate Millers as 5 stars because we had a great time and the service was good. Will be returning.

My 1st time at this Location and I must say it redeemed its Name! because the Annapolis location wasn't good at all. I met one of my Newest Fb friends here to meet & for Lunch!, the place was spacious , neat, the bathroom wasn't far! & I could read the sign!!. Our waitress was Jessica! (Ask for her!) she was nice, checked on our table frequently and she made me the most bomb cherry Coke from the bar!!. I ordered the Honey Bourbon Salmon with vegetable medley and cilantro rice! But you can swap whatever sides you like or premium for 1.99. My Friend got the Mimi's Fiesta Chicken & Shrimp bowl with creamy red chile sauce(soooo bomb). while the salmon & shrimp were flavorful Chef Analysis Alert!! .The honey bourbon sauce should've been a Thick glaze put on top instead of runny sauce so you can get the taste of everything in one bite with the sauce! instead of having to use a spoon & tip your plate just to get the sauce in your spoon to go with the salmon & shrimp you see it's just a thin puddle pour on the plate (although you can taste the bourbon that's all I'd change!) . Or serve it without that sauce and pair it with the red chile sauce (thick) it goes Very well too!! (I got some for my food ). The Zingers need salt & pepper on them once out of the fryer otherwise mentioned everything was seasoned well and really good!!.They have Lunch Specials starting at 7.99-10.00 time frame of 11:00am-4:00pm & daily specials Mon-Friday. This is a great place to watch the games as it's TVs everywhere and patio outside!, great for a simple chill date night or girls night out!. This location is also spacious and accommodating for wheelchair users all the way around, I'm definitely bringing my aunt!!. I'd return to try more especially the Nachos!! . I'm so glad I gave this spot another chance but different location!! Definitely recommend the Honey Bourbon Salmon it's absolutely delicious!!

I always go to watch football and drink. Never have I ever had a bad experience at this place
