The Brass Taps

My wife and I were in the mood to try a new place and we got very lucky finding this quaint bar.  We had the pimento dip which was excellent and plentiful.  Then we shared 20 wings splitting them between hot and extra-hot.  The hot were just right for my wife who does not like too spicy and the extra-hot were perfect for me who likes some burn.  The staff was very friendly and the service was quick.  Definitely going to be a regular place for us from now on.

I've stopped by BT a number of times since my last review and over time have come to observe a few things - some positives, some not so much.

PRO's:
Good line up of local music talent regularly scheduled (I don't think I've ever seen a cover)
NFL, MLB and NHL packages available of 10+ HDTV's
Daily drink specials are more competitive than many competitors
Menu prices are on the better side as compared to other bars

CON's:
My favorite Chicken Philly is not as tasty as it used to be
Big time regular crowd - can be a little stand-offish
Fairly quick turnover of staff but they're friendly
Bathrooms need a serious overhaul

I really don't relate to the perma-customers so I've never become a regular despite its convenient location, decent food and solid beer/alcohol specials.  However, it's a decent place to hear some local music or catch your non-local sports team on TV.

Don't get me wrong--I like the set up. Pretty cool outdoor area (outdoor pool table is a nice touch), and the bar inside is fine. But...the crowd. It is all old people and definite dive bar people. It's a 10 minute walk from my parents when I'm in town, and I still just go ahead and take a cab up the street.
