Brass Cat

Dive bar with a dash of Beer-Snobbery.

I have a horrible addiction to places that have earned "Mug-Clubs", and this place is no exception.  Always fun to try and conquer a list of 50, 60, 80, 125, +++ different beers.  Not only is it good to try different things, it's also a bit of a beer education.  You might even find a style of beer that you never knew existed, for example, a Kolsch, or a Black IPA, or even a Rauchbier.   It's also fun to go back and re-try old favorites to try and figure out why in the world you might have liked that in the past.

Comfortable location with a couple of horrible outdated small TV's and a fantastic jukebox (perfect as far as I am concerned).  KENO and a Pool table as well. Cash only, but there is an ATM of sorts in the building.

This place has the casual, low-key feel of a dive bar without actually being grungy or seedy.  Friendly service (and other patrons), strong drinks ... it doesn't get much better.

One tip:  Bring cash, as they don't accept credit cards (there is an ATM; if I recall correctly, it has a $1.50 fee).

Had zero expectations coming in here as it was labeled as a dive bar. I can't belive the fun that I had at the Cat. They have a mug club that is better than anything I've paid for before. You drink 50 or something different drinks over the period of 6 months and pay $10 to get your own labeled mug. Free pizza when we were there on a Friday night. Cash only, but they have their own unique ATM in the place. Diverse crowd, great beer selection on tap and even better in bottles. A bit difficult to get to on my way home, but certainly close enough to visit on a regular basis.
