Came in for a holiday visit from LA. Â Love this place! Â It has a classic bar feel and the staff are very friendly. Â Started our night off with their Traditional Tom & Jerry. Â Delicious. Â This place has a small town feel with great hospitality. Â Smoking is no longer allowed in bars so the air was clean. Surprisingly, I couldn't even smell the remnants of its bygone smoking days. Â Good to note also that this place is a bar, not a restaurant- there is no food served.
Review Source:Josh W. got it right when he says  "this place is an instituation"
well almost right...its The PoHo Institution. If you only go to one place in Port Huron this should be it. If you have to go to two places, stop here first.
Old Fashioned Tom & Jerry or a Stroh's Draft please. (EDIT) No more Strohs :( Â Â Blue, Miller Light or that one Anheuser beer... They do have Guiness in bottles which is nice. Shots are usually a healthy pour.
Don't embarrass yourself looking for a micro brew.
Great for watching Detroit sports or curmudgeons of all ages.
This bar is now in my Top 5 Bars list which is heady praise indeed. I visited on Thanksgiving and it was a delightfully festive, warm and comfortable experience. The decor is straight-up vintage Scorsese with great red patterned carpet, rounded brown and red booths and a gorgeous back bar. I had their famous seasonal Tom & Jerry served in a Christmas mug by a very nice woman who has obviously worked there for decades. It was delicious. A couple friends ordered whiskey neat and those were served in a shot glass which I don't like as much as a rocks glass, but it's indicative of the type of joint it is--you take your booze like a man (or woman!) after a hard day's work.
Love this place. Love, love, love. It's what a good, blue collar, classic American bar should be.
I had always driven by here and dismissed it without a second thought. DO NOT make the same mistake I did. The atmosphere here is spectacular. Everyone talking to one another across the bar (like a real-life Cheers, except less laugh tracks). The bartender made the best Kamikaze I have ever had and the drinks were cheap! They let you pick the music (which is nice) and they use their phone to call you a cab- when you're too drunk to use your own. How nice!
Review Source:Even though our beloved Helen David passed away back in 2006, the spirit of the Brass Rail has been kept alive - it is at its heart a local watering hole, but one imbued with hospitality and warmth.
You'll find few native Port Huroners who will speak ill of the Brass Rail, despite its faults - enough smoke to cure bacon and a cold shoulder for beers not produced in the US or Canada.
However, there's few places I'd rather be on a warm summer night or a cold Christmas evening that shoulder-to-shoulder with the people I grew up with. Â Go during Boat Weekend, and you'll see generations pass through over the course of the night - those graduating in 1980 or earlier come through early, and those of us who came later tend to close the place down.
And yes, even though a Tomy & Jerry does have eggs as an ingredient, they're good for what ails ya, and are guaranteed to put something akin to Christmas Spirit in your heart.
The Brass Rail is a Port Huron instituation it is the rock of all PH bars. During the holiday season a stop in for Tom & Jerrys is a must. They have great nachos and cheap beer prices. The service is top notch! This place can get far beyond seating capacity during any holiday so plan on standing.
