The quintessential downtown dive bar. Quality drinks. Great selection. Rotating drafts. Great bartenders.
Ok, it is a regular bar disguised as a dive bar. Or the other way around.

They have the best bartender, Gretchen!
Straight up dive bar in Champaign. Love the atmosphere and the people. The owners are great and we had a good time.

Brass Rail is a historic bar with a classic atmosphere, updated with food options including pizza and cheese sticks. The "Squint" signature drink, made with Gin and Squirt, is a recommended choice. The restaurant serves bar pizza, but also offers cheesy garlic bread as a tasty alternative. It is a popular spot for live shows, featuring local vendors and bands from around the world. Visitors often enjoy the great staff and the lively vibe, whether for a drink downtown before or after dinner. The venue has kept its old school look and feel, while upgrading draft beers and liquor, and now accepts credit cards for the first time. Many find Brass Rail to be a fun and charming dive bar with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent entertainment.
