Bringer Inn

I love this place - it has a special place in my heart! They sponsored my softball team years ago so we would come here after games to eat and drink. While you can get bar food anywhere and the drinks are just drinks, this place feels like home. Cheers to the Bringer Inn!

I suggested we get some brewskis to rehydrate (heh) after a sweltering day outside and before our dinner reservations down the street, so my +1 and I stopped in here.

I expected a dive, as I-love-me-some-dives.  Normally they appreciate the people, they're non-discriminatory and fun, and you get decent service.  There were 6-7 locals around the bar, one bartender, and the TVs.  Sure, alright: exactly what I expected.

My +1 wanted to sit in view of the TVs to catch the game, but there were some dirty glasses and a tip where we wanted to sit.  It took the bartender, who was just standing there not doing anything, a second to figure out to clear it off.  So we sat and ordered.  No beer specials - just $3 taps of Miller and Bud, and $4.50 for Blue Moon.  

Ehh, the bar was dirty.  Sticky with crumbs all around.  I had to sweep them to the side with my used and half--soggy beer coaster.  

The whole time we were there (20-30 minutes), she didn't make one move to at least wipe down the bar.  Nope...just played on her phone and talked to the locals.

Seriously?  It takes 2 seconds to wipe down the bar - THEN you can get back to your phone.  Oy.

The Bringer Inn is a pretty decent dive and sports bar hybrid. This is a drinking only review.
Cigar shaped bar with some high tables and a separate dining area of low tables. The venue has plenty of television screens to catch sports and even horse racing! Decor is pretty sports theme oriented, pretty dated and some quirkiness.
The crowd a combination of 40's to 50's locals with a sprinkling of mid-20's, plus a number of folks waiting for Pequods.
Beer range is pretty average with a couple of German options on draft.
Extensive pub style menu with reasonable prices.
Service pretty good.
