Fast-forward a century, and a new cocktail lounge meets coffee shop meets American bistro is honoring the great author’s legacy with Miller’s Tavern. Don’t let the name fool you—this is no beer and pretzel joint, but a café with a serious coffee program during the day, and a cocktail-focused bar/restaurant at night. Owners Jeffrey Flagg and Gavin Compton (of Sel de Mer and Variety Cafe respectively), are serving early morning coffee, brunch every day (eggs benedict, brioche french toast) and hearty dinner fare like burgers and pork chops. Specials will focus on game meats like rabbit and daily fresh fish and seafood options. As befits a restaurant with coffee shop roots, Stumptown espresso and a pour bar for single cup brewing offer coffee snobs a reason to stop by, too.








This restaurant has the rudest, worst service ever! Williamsburgh is not renowned for personal service but this place tops the charts.
