Brothers Bar and Grill

Yes, this place is a total dive.  But it's also a friendly locally owned establishment.  The new owner is a young guy who really cares about what customers have to say, and he wants to do great business.
They have karaoke nights and specials.  Fun place for a group.
It's a smoking bar, so don't wear your coat inside or it will smell like an ashtray; I learned the hard way.

This is a bar w/ cheap drinks & a good mix of ppl young & old, hot & not.  You definitely get that neighborhood feel here because it seems that everyone went to highschool together or know eachother from local businesses. Bar owners are great because they always give me free shots which make me feel very welcome & always wanting to come back. To quote the great Hulk Hogan "Thanks Brother"!!  Minus one star for smokeyness.

We wanted to keep our New Year's Eve low-key, so we decided to go to the little shopping center within walking distance from our home. So, we ended up here at Brother's. This wasn't our first trip to this bar, so we knew what to expect, or so we thought. We got there about 7:45. My husband went to get us a pitcher, where he was informed that we would get a better deal if we waited until 8pm and bought the $25 wristbands they were selling that would provide us with free beer, well drinks, and wine for the evening. However, we weren't interested in that seeing as we had just had a pitcher of margaritas from the mexican restaurant down the road. So, we decided we would just get a couple of pitchers and not spend $50 on two wristbands.

We finished our pitcher, and decided we would like another before we hit the road. When we went to get another pitcher, they said they couldn't serve us because we weren't buying the wristbands. Seriously? If this were the case, why didn't they tell us this when we walked into the bar at 7:45? They had signs up all over the place touting how they NEVER charge a cover. But, I'm pretty sure that refusing to serve us because we wouldn't buy the $25 wristbands is essentially charging a cover. I could understand if we were keeping them from people who had bought a wristband, but there were 15 other people in there, tops. You would have thought they would want our business, even if we were just buying pitchers.

I was pretty disappointed because I had high hopes for this bar. Oh well, we just went home and drank a bottle of wine, and kept a little money in our pockets.
