I saw someone saying that this place is racist in the reviews and they very well may be idk. I really have just been when my partner goes to the comedy mic they host and I have never witnessed anything but that doesn't really mean anything (and they are like a cop loving bar from what I can tell so do with that what you will). Anyway, just saying that to say I'm not dismissing how that reviewer felt. BUT, the reviewer's reasoning was that they said the bartender said they don't have food and they really don't lol. they have chips and that's it. So, really just leaving this review to say that if you're going in looking for food, this ain't the place. But Rotten Ralph's is down the way and has alright food and the pub across the way does too. And the area is covered with restaurants so.
anyway, having said all of that, I do like their Guinness pour lol
update: ok my partner says that they have a guest/pop up kitchen sometimes apparently but that he's never seen it open. neither have i.

I just walked in the establishment today and this place is definitely racist & is not welcoming to people of color. I’m black and the bartender told me they don’t serve food…..so do what you will with that but I’m an influencer with a large following and a clip might be coming soon.

Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a bar. Nice prices, good taps, pool table

OUTSTANDING CULINARY BURGERS in a delightful Hometown pub setting. We were there on a Monday night with Chef Harry serving mouthwatering burger options, (minus the bun for our one gluten freer). Fran (Frances) was our classic Johnny on the spot bartender. Bathrooms were clean. For big groups, it’s a narrow building with no big tables downstairs but they have a big space with a billiard table upstairs & a server/runner - Jules. Loved the vibe.

Visiting and stopped here, nice experience. Staff and people were friendly. This place reminded my of a house that got turned into a pub, first floor was the main area and second was restroom and pool table

Lovely lady at the bar. Bartender was useless. Pool table says ask for help and he was useless, said it wasn’t his problem. Perfect place to go if you love awful service and flat beer ?

Don’t get me wrong - the bartenders and interior are AWESOME. Super friendly and dive bar esque vibes. However, I can’t say the same for the mustached bouncer who was working a Friday night on the 26th of January. Completely ruined everyone’s night. Was having a HUGE ego trip over several of my friends who were coming in with REAL IDS (well over 21), claiming they were fakes, etc. When confronted and told to either call the police or get a second opinion from the bouncers, this lowlife just shrugged it off and refused to do so. Told us to take a hike. This guy needs to be fired asap. He has absolutely no business in a people-facing job. Especially when he’s tarnishing the brand of an otherwise fantastic establishment. That attitude is gonna get him in some deep, deep trouble one day. I’ve never written a Google review before but am compelled to just for this special individual. Brownies pub - please reach out to me if you need a replacement. I know plenty of good-hearted, well qualified bouncers that would take his job in a heartbeat. Get rid of him ASAP.
Small little Irish bar downtown. It's narrow, but there is a second floor with a pool table and dart board for your enjoyment. The service is efficient and friendly. If you're looking for a laid back place to grab a pint, stop by.

Dive bar with friendly bartenders! Drinks are a little pricey but semi-competitive with the area. No frills upstairs with a pool table.

Typical bar, nothing out of the ordinary. I get a shampoo the food so I have no opinion on the matter.
