Surprisingly decent prices for drinks. Fantastic local. Dart board and board games to boot.

A sports bar like we wanted it. They weren’t diffusing the game we were looking for but still had a great time. The waitress was helpful and the atmosphere pleasant. A good time with friends !

Saw Lulu handle a difficult customer with grace and had a great conversation with customers after the fact. Always enjoy coming here for the great deals.

(Nov 2014) A quiet pint on a very cold Sunday arvo. I felt like a real American, sitting up at the bar, sipping away and enjoying the lack of punters. Nice friendly feel. 15 taps, nothing mind blowing but more than good enough. Pricing good ($7 pints) and I love the fact they disclose the keg tap date. As others have noted more emphasis on the hard stuff; 20 single malts, maybe 30 bourbons and 20 ryes. Good setup but won’t be the first stop for geeks.

I like this vibe. Old fashioned tastes very great. The background music is a little bit noisy but everything is great.

Our bartender was really personable! It was my husband's first time in the city, so the bartender had a great energy listening to his stories of being in "the big city." The toddies were delicious!

Went on a rainy Saturday night for a cold beer. Lots of choice and friendly staff, but pretty dead, I guess because of the rain. Seems they are dog friendly which is always a plus for me.

Great place to go after work; they don't have a kitchen but you can bring your own food and the bartenders are awesome. Emma and Matt are always amazing. Drinks are variant and the prices are doable for a poor man :)

Drinks are good and strong. Bartender was able to make drinks for a group of about 20 plus other patrons with no problem. They don’t have food but you are able to bring in your own food. Overall good bar to check out. I believe they also have an outdoor space.

I’ve been going to The Brazen, with my wife, for decades and it never disappoints.
It’s now run primarily by Emma and Tray and you’ll be hard pressed to find better bar staff aligned with a traditional bar like Brazen. I.e. this isn’t a cocktail bar (although they’ll make you a fine Old Fashioned etc), but it is a very welcoming, warm bar-with reasonable prices and a great line up of beer’s/spirits.
