Miller's Ale House, a sports-bar chain with 43 units in Florida, one in Chicago, one in Atlanta and one opening soon on Long Island, is preparing to push into the Philly market this summer.
Miller's will take over two former Smokey Bones BBQ locations. First, to open in late June, will be on Roosevelt Boulevard at Red Lion Road. The second, up for August, will be outside Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne (2250 E. Lincoln Highway).
Why Philly? Jack and Claire Miller, now in their mid-60s and living in the Jupiter, Fla., area, formerly owned McNally's (a Northeast Philly taproom, not the home of the Schmitter) and the Rod n Reel Bar in Brigantine, N.J. He's a former Philly firefighter.

My husband first introduced me to the Jensen Ale House, a Miller establishment, when I went down to Florida 10 years ago to meet my mother-in-law. We then found their Orlando location while vacationing a few years ago. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. It will be great to have them here in the Delaware Valley!
