gin mill
Seedy drinking establishment
A gin mill is a bar or saloon, especially a cheap or disreputable one.
The term is old-fashioned American slang, evoking seedy drinking establishments of an earlier era: He spent his evenings in some gin mill on the Lower East Side.
Despite the name, gin mills served all manner of alcohol, not just gin.
