Miller’s Crossing

Great place to start or finish the night at. Fun dance floor. Good food. Good service!

Beware if your in a large group and using a debit card. Keep your receipts. Had some people in our party have additional tip added to there bill. They had there cards on them when leaving the bar. Services were less than adequate and slow. With an empty bar it was surprising to have such bad service but they made up for there slow night by tipping extra on our cards.

I couldn’t give it five stars due to the trivia night. However, Karie on Sundays (SIN days) compels me to rate five. Jen B. and Carrie say so not utter the words «dirty sexy».

First off, the bartender was extremely cool and informative about the local brews. The burger was good, but the fries were really greasy and hard to enjoy.

This was a wonderful craft brew experience! The ambiance was loud and seating was crowded. The bartender was superb and made many suggestions for other places to check out in Helena.. Our beer was amazing but you are only allowed to consume 5. They also have live bands playing every weekend. If your looking to drink some good beer and experience loud music, you will love this place!

Food is decent if you are into greasy fries and burgers. After the brewery shuts down at 8 this is pretty much the only place nearby to go eat and continue drinks (with the exception of the Windbag). Service has not been good. We even had a server who was sent home because she was too drunk to continue to work. Often takes them 20+ minutes to acknowledge you and then they seem annoyed. They charged us $ 17 for 1 pitcher of the beer from the brewery next door. I have NEVER paid this much for a pitcher in Montana… Not even close! Would not recommend unless you are desperate for late night food.

Stop at Miller’s, meet Tom, the barkeep, and the crew when you’re searching for a sarsaparilla, or your favorite spirit, or beer. A bonus, great feel-​good food!

Great beer selection, but the food is lacking. It has been soggy, cold, missing some of the ingredients, and pretty flavorless. And if it is busy, the service has been terribly slow and not that friendly. Not a bad place to grab a drink or hear live music or play darts/​pool, but I recommend skipping the food.

Miller’s really ranges in terms of what type of experience you’ll have. If you go on a weekend, there will be either a live band playing good music or a DJ shittily spinning EDM. In both cases, a riotous time is to be had.
If you go on a weeknight, it can sometimes be very calm just a few people in the bar shooting pool or having engaging conversations. This is a good time albeit for different reasons.
Bar staff is competent and will occassionally make a good jab here or there. Surprisingly, I’ve never been thrown out of this place despite the types of shenanigans I’ve gotten into.
Clientele, like experience, ranges from laid back/​cool to downright hostile.

service can be hit or miss depending on the night. Waited over twenty minutes for service when there was about 30 people in the bar. Maybe this is at the capacity for these gals but I felt service was lackluster. One gal seemed too busy flirting with the kitchen staff to get our drink order. When we asked for separate checks it was as if we had asked her to do continuing fractions on a bar napkin with a crayon. Will not go there again unless it is right at opening so as to not further stress the wait staff. Food was okay, the burgers and fries were overly greasy and my digestive system was not impressed with the quality. Avoid the green chile burger unless you are a glutton for punishment.

Getting rid of Karmadillos and cooking their own food was a wise decision by the Millers Xing folks. The quality is far better than you would expect for bar food, and the menu more adventurous, while still retaining the satisfyingly stick-​to-​yer-​ribs aspect that goes so well with imbibing alcohol.
Rather than being a bar with food, Miller’s is now a restaurant with a full, and lively, bar, and often, great music. Excellent work, folks.

I walked in expecting regular processed «bar food», but came out unexpectedly surprised and quite satisfied. Most menu items are homemade. My waitress Toni recommended the veggie burger. At first I shied away, but when she described how it’s made and listed the ingredients, I was sold. It’s a huge patty and comes on a toasted kaiser roll with shredded lettuce, homemade pickles, and homemade pickled onions! I added jalapeños and gorgonzola dressing… Absolutely delicious! I had it with a cup of green chili soup (again, homemade and delicious). Great place. Décor could use some help, but the staff and food more than make up for it.

Curiously, they have excellent clam chowder, but only sometimes. The food is darn good, the place is a dive (in a good way) and the beer selection highlights the beers rom the nearby Blackfoot River Brewing. Definitely worth dropping in for a beer and a bite. Live music pretty often as well.

So where do people have fun in Helena? Head to Miller’s Crossing! There you will find a late night, mixed crowd enjoying beers, dancing, playing darts, or playing pool. Great place to hang out and take in the ‘Scene’.
This joint isn’t some downtown glitzy place where all the beautiful people gather, no. This is a place where you get together for beers and darts with friends!
There’s a big dance floor where you can get your groove on, if you wish (Weds and Sats there’s a good DJ) and the pool table area is big and roomy.
The crowd varies from late night businessmen coming to in score a beer and/​or a young college hottie to cute young military men and women out for some R&R.
Drink prices are reasonable and food is available, though I have never tried it.
Go to Miller’s for a beer, a game of pool and to hang with the locals. You’ll have a good time!

This was my home-​away-​from-​home when I lived in Helena. Part of it was that I lived about 100 yards away, but this was my go-​to bar.
During the week, I’d wander over around 9 PM or so, order a Blackfoot IPA, and shoot a few racks of pool. The three pool tables are set off if their own room, so in general, you don’t have to keep doing the «excuse me» thing that you do at many other bars with pool tables.
Weekends at Miller’s generally meant live music — sometimes great bands like Ten Mile Tide, Clumsy Lovers, Red Elvises, etc. Large open area in front of the stage makes a great dance floor.
Food here is typical bar fare — best bet late would be the fries. Super cheap, massive plate, and easily shared.
