Miller's Downtown

Good forLive-music fans

Peter Griesar waited tables here. That single fact threads directly into the origin of Dave Matthews Band — a waiter at a bar on West Main Street, opened in 1981, that became one of the places where that band's earliest lineup assembled. Miller's is still open, still books live music, still runs the kitchen past midnight.
